[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1478088, member: 38928"] I don't think this is particularly a Mac issue. It's a data issue. One wau or another you are missing data. This can have occurred at many points: - the original hard disk could be damaged - the library file on the old hard disk may be damaged - The copy process from the old hard disk to however they arrived on your current Mac may not have completed correctly/fully. I'd suggest connecting the old hard disk to your new Mac using an external disk enclosure or disk to usb adapter (perhaps this is what the local guy means by 'drive reader'). Once connected to your Mac open iPhoto holding Option and you'll be given an option to navigate to a library of your choice. Open the library on the external (old) disk. If the issue remains then the original library file is corrupt and we'll need to take another approach to recovering your images. If it works ok then the library file is intact and it was the copy process that introduced issues. In this case close iPhoto. Copy the library file onto your new Mac and repeat the above process with iPhoto to open the library [/QUOTE]
