My Mac Says Closing The Library
I recently migrated my library from iPhoto to the Apple Photos app. There's probably around 13,000 photos/videos in the library. After migrating the library, I closed Photos, and it is now been stuck 'Closing the library.' For two days. Jan 12, 2020 You can access the hidden Library folder without using Terminal, which has the side effect of revealing every hidden file on your Mac. This method will only make the Library folder visible, and only for as long as you keep the Finder window for the Library folder open. Oct 06, 2018 Recently, after using my Mac’s Photos app and uploading some photos, I wasn’t able to close Photos. I saw a pop-up message that Photos was “Closing the Library.” I left it “as is” for hours only to see that same message still there–it was still stuck on “Closing the Library” message. And the app wouldn’t close, no matter what!
Yesterday a reader left a question for me. It’s related to iPhoto. Well, I’ve to admit that I’m using Photos (yes, the upgraded version of iPhoto). Anyhow?
May 29, 2014 Why does my computer say that the document library does not work anymore? I'm trying save a file and when I click save a pop up says, 'Document.library-ms is no longer working.' Can someone please help me, this seems pretty bad.

The question:
“Hi Tysa, I upgraded my old MacBook Pro to the OS 10.11 El Capitan, and now the iPhoto app won’t open. It says the version of iPhoto installed on my Mac is not compatible with the current OS X. And it asks me to download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store. I’m not sure what I should do. I don’t want to lose any precious photos. Please help.”
The solution:
Well, as far as I can recall. I faced similar problem while I was upgrading OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. The iPhoto app wouldn’t open, and it was resolved after download the new Photos app. Yes, according to Apple official announcement, starting with OS X Yosemite v10.10.3, every Mac now includes the Photos app.
I had no problem upgrading iPhoto to Photos app, and all my pictures were 100% kept intact there (thank God, had I known it would cause photo loss, I would have hesitated). So, I’d assume it’s safe to do so. But, just in case it’s best to backup all your pictures before proceeding.

My Macbook Says Closing Library
Matt Elliott from CNET has contributed an excellent guide on how to move your photos and videos from iPhoto to the new Photos app, the details about iCloud Photo Library, how to optimize storage, and what you can do with your old iPhoto library.
Also, iDB has shot a great YouTube video which explains pretty much the same thing. If you are under Wi-Fi, watch it.
In the meanwhile, many users reported that the new Photos app is less intuitive, and it took time to get acquainted with using new software. If so, you can continue to use iPhoto but it has some restrictions on the versions you can use, and you have to reinstall the iPhoto app.
How to reinstall iPhoto app on Mac El Capitan
If you are not a fan of the new Photos app, Ross McKillop from SimpleHelp has a step-by-step guide that shows you how to re-install iPhoto on OS X El Capitan. Initially, the guide was written for OS X Yosemite, he later updated the post and claimed it works on OS X 10.11 as well.

No matter which way you go for, you shouldn’t have any problems opening iPhoto (or Photos).
These are the files that your app creates and manages on behalf of the user and can include files that contain user data.By convention, all of these items should be put in a subdirectory whose name matches the bundle identifier of the app. Your app is responsible for creating this directory as needed.Resources required by the app to run must be placed inside the app bundle itself.AssistantsContains programs that assist users in configuration or other tasks.AudioContains audio plug-ins, loops, and device drivers.Autosave InformationContains app-specific autosave data.CachesContains cached data that can be regenerated as needed. 
For example, if your app is named MyApp and has the bundle identifier com.example.MyApp, you would put your app’s user-specific data files and resources in the /Library/Application Support/com.example.MyApp/ directory.
One last tip: do make regular backups of your precious pictures.
