[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1728839, member: 204485"] No worries, glad to hear it worked, you are not the only one who got a little mixed up with the introduction of Photos as a replacement for iPhotos. Having said that you might like to check your Applications Folder to see if you have both. If so check that all of your pics now in Photos. If all is present and correct check in the Pictures folder to see if you have an iPhoto [I]and[/I] a Photos Library. If so you can click Get Info about the Photos Library compare it to the size of the iPhoto Library. If the Photos Library is the same or larger then that is probably handling all of your current pictures files which would have been converted the first time you opened Photos after the Upgrade you must have performed. [B]If you have a backup using Time Machine or a cloning app[/B] you could consider deleting both the iPhoto app and its library. If on the other hand you have plenty of storage on your HD you may want to wait and think about it. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
