How to Merge iPhoto Libraries in Photos for OS X?
Last Updated :When you first time launch Photos app, it will ask you to choose which library would like to import into Photos app. Once you choose your library, you can not import another library into Photos. That means, if you choose iPhoto Library while launching Photos app, then you can not import an Aperture library into the Photos library. But, you can create a separate Photo library and import your second library into that. To do so, hold down "Option" key when launching the program.
If you have trouble with Photos app stalling during an import, then you can rebuild your iPhoto Library. To do so, launch "iPhoto" and hold down "Option" to select a library, then hold down Command and Option when clicking "Choose" button. Choose "Rebuild Database" ooption to repair the iPhoto Library.
