[QUOTE="heystorm, post: 1359684, member: 234919"] Newbie here. I just dumped a years worth of photos (20k+) from iphoto to an external HD. After the process, I noticed that my desktop icons were gone. When I go to finder>desktop ... It shows my previous desktop folders AND the 20K+ images that were dumped. I imagine that this is why me desktop is blank. When I go to delete I get a pop up telling me that "this file is being used by another program or location ..." Obviously I can hit the continue tab ... but there is no way I can do this 20k+ times. Does anyone have any idea what happened ... or what I can do to fix? Go easy on me ... :) [/QUOTE]
