    If you used Migration Assistant to transfer your pictures from a PC, it's normal that you don't see them in iPhoto. Also, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the transferred data, so open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open iPhoto and drag all the pictures from Pictures folder (if they were there in the PC) to iPhoto
