You do not say what OS X or macOS you were running previous to your upgrade to Ventura...?


iPhoto was deprecated along time ago and needed to be moved to Photos a long time ago.

Currently I have seen no issue... but you do not give all the details.


Typically to keep everything moving forward you can only upgrade only 2 macOS at a time stair stepping your way up the latter.


The error seems to indicate you need Montery or earlier. Make that transition, open the photos app there first, then upgrade to Ventura if that is what you want in the end.



edit—

Great post from Yer_Man above — maybe they have created this alternative for all those who are behind .

please post backyour success or failure.



see if this is it: Import photos from another library in Photos on Mac
