I want to batch-convert a set of Photo,files. The new version of Yosemite (10.10.6) will not recognize the Photo files. I have about 46 GB of photos. Is there any way to batch-convert them? I'm not interested in storing the photos on iCloud.

Your post does not give adequate information to answer - what exactly is it you want to do and what exactly is the conversion you want - from what to what - where are the hots now and what is their source?


What exactly does " Yosemite will not recognize the photo files" mean? Yosemite is the OS and does not "recognize" photos - photo software like iPhoto, Photos, Preview or others are used to "reconize" photos

Hi LarryHN,

Thanks for your response. I've been away from my computer for a while and am just reading what you said. As far further explanation of my problem; I was migrating files from an older and smaller hard drive to a new hard drive. Only a few of the photos migrated. I went into the old drive and found a folder labelled iPhoto Library. I copied this folder to the desktop with the new hard drive that had Yosemite 10.10.6. I tried to open the folder with iPhoto and nothing happened. I tried to use Preview to see what photos were in the iPhoto Library folder and nothing would open. I even tried to open the folder with Photoshop Elements, and it wouldn't open. I though I had perhaps moved an empty folder, but the folder reads 49.8 Gb in the finder. Can a folder register that many contents but still be empty? I haven't even been able to determine what kind of files are in there.

Any ideas as to what may have happened?
