Q: NOT A SEAMLESS MIGRATION

my seamless migrating was terrible.... I have accumulated well over 7000 photos on iPhoto, and it only migrated a little more than 1000

 

Didn't migrate over the  meticulously set up albums

 

Had issues with META DATA... that apparently could be worked around.... which I did

 

I now have NO titles OR the actual date on ANY of the the over 7000 photos, except those for the last two or so years. 

 

I have no ability to even SORT the images in photos

 

I'm trying to use this product, as the replacement, but I am at a loss as to what I, most likely, have done incorrectly.   Apple upgrades, HAVE NEVER left me this HIGH AND DRY

 

VERY FRUSTRATED...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME APPLE HAS DISAPPOINTED.

 

Has anyone had similar experience?   Did you resolve the issues?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), ICAL Version 5.0.1 (1547.4)
