Lost my photos and videos!

Hi,

I have been downloading my photos and videos using Photos.

I was trying to find the folder where all the files were saved.

I found the Pictures Folder/Files...but when I clicked on the Photo Library, all my Photos and Videos disappeared and was replaced with some pictures that were saved in the Photo Library.

Any help would be appreciated!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Hey billydistrict,


Your pictures that are stored in the Photos app will appear in a Photos Library file rather than as individual image files.


It sounds like you may have launched an older Photos library. You can find the steps to change your Photos library here:Create additional photo libraries in Photos on Mac


Thanks!
