Q: moving from iPhoto to Photos
How do I verify and transfer all of my photos from my iPhotos library to the newer Photos application? Not all of my photos from my iPhoto library (30k) have transferred to the new Photos application (27k).
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

How did you transfer the iPhoto Library? When you open your iPhoto Library, all photos and videos will transfer, but Photos and iPhoto count them differently. If you have RAW&JPEG pairs, iPhoto will count them as two photos, but Photos as only one photo.
Photos may be hidden in the top "Photos" view in the sidebar, but hidden photos will show in the "All Photos" album in the Album section.
