Hello Support Team,

When I updated to Catalina I no longer have access to my photos in iPhotos, is there a way to recover them or are they lost forever?

iPhotos was discontinued and replaced by the Photos app 6 years ago. Photos will open and convert your iPhoto Library. Hold down the option key while starting the Photos app and it will allow you to choose the iPhotos library.
