[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1900805, member: 335450"] The desired Library no longer exists, same with Photos. The bulk of both libraries seem to be somewhere in the 900 gig backup I no longer have access to. Catalina wants no part of anything written before it. I don't have the skill or aptitude to any longer put up with this exercise in frustration. I look at it this way, if my computer was stolen or spontaneously exploded, I'd be in the same predicament. I have no idea how to create partitions or libraries, and any time I have ever attempted to do that has resulted in the nonsense I'm dealing with now. Regardless, none of this is any longer an issue. I have accepted reality, albeit with a degree of reluctance. If I can't find an older machine PRE-Mojave I'll chalk it up to a loss. That's on me, not you guys. I simply should have never updated my machine because there was no need to. To say I will NEVER EVER do another update to a machine running flawlessly is an understatement of gigantic proportions. I've spoken to dozens of people with Power PC machines to present and most agree that these updates are why Apple is now a 3 trillion dollar company. They create a need for a problem that simply does not exist. As a business model, I find that abhorrent, as a Capitalist, I understand it. Here is the bottom line, I'll put this in perspective. Much as there are virus deniers, I am now a avid update denier. I believe in the Corona virus and was vaccinated because I saw people die. I have NEVER seen anyone have a computer problem with a Mac because they didn't update. I'm talking about basic functionality rather than the ability to use the latest and greatest program they don't actually need. Again, I will thank everyone that has tried to help me. You folks have helped me numerous times in the past, and I am sure I'll have more question in the future. In this case however, I have a $2000 boat anchor with email. THANK YOU. 😎👌 [/QUOTE]
