[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1900216, member: 396914"] You can do that, but I don't think it will get your problems solved unless you have a backup of that working Yosemite system. For some help: Green screen, as you called it, in Photos means that you did not copy the images into the Photos database when you imported them, but left the file on the drive and now Photos can't find it where you said it was when you imported it. If you have the files, you can reimport them and this time turn on the copy into the database in Photos preferences (Or iPhoto preferences, if you go back to that). Music is probably similar, but I'm not a big Music user. Maybe someone else can assist. I do know that artwork can be retrieved through the Internet. And that the option to copy into the Music database and to get artwork is there as well. The biggest problem with going back that far is that the browsers of that day are going to struggle with the Internet of today. You may be able to get a working browser from a third party, if they have archived old versions. Frankly, I think you might try tackling the issues rather than going back. But that's just one man's opinion. And as for the Container/Volume thing, the average user has no need to even see that it is there. Apple tried to make it easy by logically merging the two Volumes in Finder, so just stick to the Finder interface and the machinery underneath is of no consequence. [/QUOTE]
