I turned on an old mac that had not been used for a few years. It runs Mac OS X version 10.5.8
There are no visible photos or movies in i photo or i movie. Also, the personalized desk top image seems to be replaced with one of apples default backgrounds.
How do I find my old files?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Have you signed into this computer with the correct user name ? The ⛔️ sign is shown on files and folders, where you do not have the access rights, for example, if the owner of the file or folder is a different user.
Look at the folder "Users" at the top level the system drive. Are there other user accounts? Perhaps you have to sign in with a different user name.

Additional information that may be meaningful: There are several red circles with minus signs on files. When I try to open a pictures file I get a "the folder pictures could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges" message.
Also, there is a question mark on the safari icon...... indicating the mac can't find that file as well.
BOOM; Thank you. That did the trick.
i photo library, i movies are missing
