So that we all know what you have would you please go to the top line

While you are looking at the window that comes up will you please answer these questions :-

MAC OS X ... What version

Processor  .. what speed and description

Hi Ronni

Thank you so much for replying.

Sadly we still do not have Lift Off!

I opened Macintosh HD - yes - iPhotos wording shows there.

I went through Finder and opened Applications.

iMovie is there.
iPhoto Library is there (the one which you suggest I drag to Trash).
Nothing called iPhoto application is there, only the iPhoto Library.

However, using the Finder, Places, under my own name/file is an iPhoto Library, (and also the iPhoto alias which I made yesterday which I would imagine I also drag into Trash). Possibly the files which should show under Applications are somehow under my name?

I had found this last night and I had opened iPhoto Library and ticked "Create Library". This was obviously the wrong thing to do because now I cannot find any photos. (N.B. Ronni please do not tell me that I have somehow deleted my photos).

So - just now I followed the same step you recommended, and this time I chose "Choose Library".

This step took me back to Applications (no picture file here). So I clicked on my name/file again, just above the application file. This eventually took me to Pictures. I clicked this and then up came an iChat icon. My photos did not appear.

Are there any more steps I can follow?

Thanks Ronni
Peta
