    Again thanks for you patience. Your summary is great, a summary I pretty much understand. I was planning to contact a local certified Apple dealer to have my RAM updated.   If after using you outlined procedure to load my many thousands of organized photos I am not happy with "photo"  I have all the original info and discs to make a reload back to Snow Leopard.

     

    Again thanks for your Patience, this community is so helpful for the slower of us!  You and Trenece Devlin are much appreciated...  Certainlly by Me...

    I had the current iPhoto version.  I decided to make the switch to Photos and went to the Apple store for my last One to One (before they eliminated the program).  They helped me upgrade.  Now that I have been using it it is a pain for organization, batch changes, etc. etc.  So I want to go back.  I went to the App folder and iPhoto is now in the dock, but nothing is in there.  It asks me what file I want to use; there is no file to choose from.  In Pictures all it appears to have is Photos.  I'm thinking the store completely destroyed my iPhoto files.  Can I still get them back?  I have a time machine, but I just checked and for some reason it only goes back to August 13 about 7 days after Apple made the switch.  Maybe my time machine is full.  I don't know how to tell.  It is a 1TB, but I have tons of pix. 

     

    I have been working with Photos steadily for 4 days trying to organize where I left off--and I am not happy.  The side bar lost all my sub-folders, etc. etc. Try to batch change dates.  It says that by changing one, the others will change too--but this doesn't happen.

     

    Any ideas?  Thank you

    Just a thought.  I think I saved the pix to a flash drive also.  Can this be used?
