I was attempting to back up my iPhone SE, and clearing out hundreds of old photos on my MacBook pro,and suddenly the process stopped and now when I click on the little iPhoto in the dock, it says I cannot access my iphoto library. Any help?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
iPhoto? or Photos? iPhoto was discontinued 8 years ago. What's the exact error message you get?
Some more questions to help us understand what has been going wrong: How exactly did you clear out hundreds of photos? Did you delete them from inside the Photos.app? Or did you delete photos using the Finder?
Where is your Photos Library stored?
You mentioned your iPhone. How have you been backing the iPhone photosup?
Well, to tell you the truth, i was on Photos, and my laptop is 11+ years old and I had probably 2000+ pics I didn't need any longer. I opened photos off the dock and there was a list of "img.1554" or whatever, and I'd open them and if I didn't need them , id move it/them to the trash. I can't recall but I think I just pulled up Photos. Don't think I did it off a finder window. I transferred all my current photos off my iPhone onto this laptop, and they all transferred over, but there are a boatload of pics I was in the process of looking at and keeping/deleting and they have simply vanished. Any suggestions to recover?
thanks for your reply.
