Lost iPhoto photos
Problem #1:
I have just performed a time machine backup of my iMac 2009 model, with the intent to completely wipe it and restore it to factory settings.
Before wiping it I have attempted to check my iPhoto library.
iPhoto will not access my photos, instead I am getting a window saying “which iPhoto library do you want to use?” with no available options in the window...
The Mac is running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and my current version of iPhoto is 9.6.1 (910.42)
Please help? I have thousands of photos I cannot loose...
Problem #2:
After I restore my Mac to factory settings, how do I access my iPhoto photos from time machine? Or am I better off importing all iPhoto’s to photos library. And stop using iPhoto all together?
Thanks
