Hoping someone can help! My MacBook Pro battery was low and computer kept flipping off while I was downloading about 300 pics from my canon camera. I can see the pictures in my camera and also have them on Dropbox, but when I try to transfer to Photos on my mac, i get a message "Database Error: failed to persist master" no matter what I try.

These are pics of Humane Society animals for a promotion and anyone who's tried to take animal pictures knows how hard it is! I'm really hoping there is a solution out there- please...

Thanks!

Michelle

    I'm assuming your photos are all backed up. Close Photos, press CMD and ALT together then click on the photos app. Once the app opens it will ask if you want to repair the database. Click yes and it should solve your problem. Its just worked for me
