No you didn't try it but it's an easy mistake to make. :). You copied over the iPhoto application, whereas I suggest you copy over the iPhoto Library. This is where your photos actually reside, and that's usually in your Pictures Folder. Copy it from there to the same location on the new machine and try open the library with Photos.app
