I can't find my old photos

I have an iMac (since Mid 2010, OS X 10..8.5) and a MacBook air (since late 2010, OSX 10.8.4). I was going to copy all my pictures from the MacBook to the iMac with a hard disk but something about the existing pictures on the iMac appeared so I decided just to paste the album from the MacBook on the desktop of the iMac to avoid any risks of losing my photos. When it finished, I tried to open them but a window saying that iPhoto couldn't open any pictures because they were in a new version of iPhoto appeared. So I decided to download the new version (9.4.3). When it finished, I opened it but the only pictures that appeared were the ones from the MacBook and I can't find the ones that were on the iMac before.I have looked everywhere and I don't know what else to do. What can I do to recover them???

Thank you!

Do you have an iPhoto library from the MBA on the desktop and the iphoto library from the iMac in the pictures folder? If so depress and hold the option key, launch iPhoto and use the resulting select library to select the library you want - the path will be shown below the window


If you do not have the iMac iPhoto library then you will need to restore it from yoru backup
