Hi Ed, Tried that and it seems to bring up the photos in thumbnail. Actually about twice as many as were in my library (not sure why). If I get this into iPhoto, will it have all the additional data (such as dates, group by events, albums etc...)? Or will all that be lost? Just wondering... at this point, I will just be happy to have all my photos back. I made a DVD backup about 2 years ago (I know, I know, I need to back up more frequently) and am wondering if those have the "additional" info included when I backed up the photos.
I think a good backup strategy for photos and music has become a higher priority! I need to give some thought to that! Thanks!

Stuart one thing to get your images back is to do a spotlight search. Using .jpg or what ever raw extension your camera uses. I had to help a friend of my parents in Florida with this exact problem and that how we found them. Then just select all and drag to iPhoto and sit back an wait. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Ungar Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 12:31 PM To: Topics related to Apple and Macintosh computers Subject: [MacGroup] HELP! I was working with iPhoto when the plug to my external HD pulled out. Well, I have over 13,000 photos and now NONE of them are showing up. I have messed with it a little and have googled the problem, but this may be a problem that I shouldn't attempt DIY. I have backed up many of the photos onto DVDs and they are SOMEWHERE in the house, but ideally, I would like to get all the photos/movies etc... back. It has been a while since I backed up (I know, I know) and hopefully I didn't lose the most recent photos. Any ideas? Any place locally that I should go to fix this (hopefully)? Thanks!
