[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1438852, member: 38928"] If you Open Time Machine, go back to August 10th, look in Pictures and copy the iPhoto Library to your desktop. Exit Time Machine. Hold Option down and start iPhoto, you'll be prompted to select a library, choose the one on your desktop. If your photos are not in this library then they have been backed up on that date (for whatever reason). You can repeat this process going gradually further back in 'Time', hopefully you'll find a library that's intact. If none of your library files are working then I'd concur with the Genius you spoke to and expensive data recovery is likely the next recourse of action. [/QUOTE]
