I had thousands of pictures in my iPhoto file and can no longer open them on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions? I downloaded the Catalina upgrade before realizing it was going to cancel out my wonderful pictures!

How do I recover my iPhoto pictures once I've installed Catalina? I just upgraded from El Capitain to Catalina. Had many photos on iPhoto. Now cannot open. How do I recover them?

iPhoto Few years ago, when Apple was providing iPhoto, I mistakingly dragged out the app instead of the photos and videos out of my MacBook Air to drop them in an external Hard Drive, the pics and videos won't open anymore even it shows the size of the whole folder/pictures. My question is: Did I loose my photos? or is there any way to retrieve them?

iphoto I had downloaded/stored my old photos onto iPhoto, but since updating my mac book iPhoto is no longer supported and I am not able to find these photos anywhere. They aren't stored on the new app photos. Does anyone know how to help me get these back? Thanks!

Photos replaced iPhoto years ago, and Apple has provided a migration path.

Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new Photos library with your iPhoto media. Your old iPhoto Library will not be changed.
