[QUOTE="dangerlawmc, post: 1746170, member: 388591"] So we all know that little shortcut icon that mac puts into our Photos Folder? Well, I accidentally put it in the trash (it was mixed in with a bunch of items I had already transfered to an External HD and I forgot it was in there...I [U]didn't empty[/U] the trash, but tried to open the new "Photos" app immediately afterward and was told that it couldn't find my iphoto library...the lightbulb went on and I put the icon back in place...little did I know it was actually the real thing...the whole library?! (how stupid is that that mac allows that to be accessed in such a way?!) Anyway, I fiddled around and I got Iphoto to open, which is weird because I thought Iphoto was replaced by "Photos," but yeah, I see all my photos in there pre-2015, which is not helpful, but I tried to open Photos again, and then got the opportunity to choose a library from which to open, I clicked on it, hoping that it was fixed by itself, but alas, it was simply that same pre-2015 Iphoto library that it drew from... How can I get the "photos" app to recognize/restore what it really never lost? Like I said, I [U]didn't empty[/U] the trash...the library was in there for no more than a minute, [B]literally[/B]! Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
