[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1645566, member: 83420"] Hi Rogbahia For my sake, and in the hope it will help me and our colleagues understand things better, can you take time out to sort out a few points that have me baffled? May I take you back to how things were before this all happened? You had a lot of photos. OK. Where were they kept initially? iPhoto I presume? On your Mac HD? Then you created a backup of these on an EHD, yes? How did you do that exactly? And what did you do with the photos which were originally on the Mac's HD? Generally "Backup" means making a copy of something (photos in your case) whilst retaining the original. Now we fast forward a bit. You "downloaded" a Backup of iPhoto from the EHD. I don't quite understand "download" in this context. Are you just saying that you tried to get into your Backup folder which you previously created on the EHD? We're not talking any third party downloaded software are we? If these questions seem somewhat tiresome, it's only because we don't really know what you did, in what order you did things and so on. Be patient with us and we'll do our utmost to help. Ian [/QUOTE]
