Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Have I lost all my photos in the transfer of data to my new iMac. Large cache of photos have disappeared in the transfer from a 10 year old Mac to a new one. I had 6000 images which don't seem to have been transferred but they are now not on the old Mac. I am a66 year old technophobe who has a limited knowledge of computers. help!!
iMac 24″, macOS 11.6

my old Mac is 11 years old. The new one 24’ , 560 gigs
