Q: help me to find all my photos!

after the last upgrade i have found all pictures are missing from Photos!

whenever I'm opening photos - its saying "Photos cannot find the System Photo Library named “Photos Library.photoslibrary”" and iPhoto saying the same!

folder "pictures" is empty!

searhing files ".jpeg" - nothing! I had a LOT! a lot of pictures from iPhone and camera - and videos etc
Please help me to find a way to find it!

    first we need details to help - an upgrade does not lose anything unless something (either human, hardware or software) goes wrong - to help we need to know what you had, exactly what you die, what you have now, what exact error message you got and anything else that might help

     

    and of course you should never upgrade software without a good current backup so the answer may be to restore the backup you made before upgrading
