[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1754456, member: 83420"] Well the MBA is fine; good. What about the EHD? I think that you need to remount it and establish that its contents are okay. You could reconnect to Photos, but that might cause the same problem as before - though it shouldn't really. Lots of folks keep their photos on an EHD to save space. If you just open the EHD and make sure that the pictures are there - you could also run Disk Utility (DU) > First Aid on the EHD. Final point - as of now you have no Backup of your Photos Library - all your pictures are on the EHD. That means you really need to BU the EHD. One way of doing this is to use a cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper! (SD!). You have to pay for these apps but, once purchased, you can use either one to create a clone BU of your MBA which would be a great BU asset and be bootable. Ian [/QUOTE]
