[QUOTE="slippyjim, post: 1889761, member: 91128"] yes it is pretty confusing, not helped by me remembering wrong..... I meant the icloud backup from iphone to mac never worked the photos app on the old mac worked fine, he could see all his pictures there and he had them organised in albums The photos library copied across from the old mac to the new mac but when I opened the photos app on the new mac it gave an error I tried the hold option while opening the photos app but it would only let me create a new library and not open the library that i had copied across from the old mac. IIRC In Finder, in the Pictures folder I could see the Photos app library file When I held down the option key and opened the photos app it would let me choose a library file but it didnt show the library file in the Pictures folder so I couldnt select it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
