[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1432812, member: 46727"] You didn't actually copy them. All you did was create aliases of them or what's known as shortcuts to the originals. Since you removed the originals from the hard drive, the aliases no longer have a path to the originals and you get that error. What you burned to DVD is saved and you should be able to copy them back to the Mac's hard drive into the iPhoto library. However, the several special photos that you didn't save to DVD but put on your external hard drive are gone. If they're important, you may be able to recover the originals of them from the Mac's hard drive with special software. [/QUOTE]
