Q: Lost all Photos after Upgrading to Yosemite
Yesterday, I upgraded my PC to OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 from Mavericks
Today, I opened the new "Photos" app to discover to my horror, that none of the pictures that I had in iPhoto were there.
I've read a few forums where it was said you could press Command + Option when launching the software to rebuild the database,
But the only option I have is "Repair" and it only runs for a few seconds and then goes to the "Welcome to Photos" screen.
I have also Right clicked on the iPhoto Library icon in the "Pictures" library and chose "Show Package Contents" and I don't see anything that looks like my pictures.
To my shame, I did not back up to an external source before the upgrade. Do I have any options, or are my memories lost forever?
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
