OK ! Got iPhoto Library restored from Time Machine. I have no idea where it went to originally. But iPhoto is now working.
Her iMac has OS 10.9.5 installed at the moment. But if I go to App Store it tells me that High Sierra was installed on 5 May 2018. Seeks like a contradiction to me. However there is an Updater sitting in her Applications Folder. Looks like she has downloaded the High Sierra update, but then not installed it. So now her iMac thinks it is running High Sierra, but is isn’t yet. Now wondering if I should run the update that is sitting there ? Her iMac is a Mid 2010 so I guess it should be OK (Apple says Late 2009 or later). Any thoughts please ? > On 9 May 2018, at 8:39 am, Stephen Chape <chap...@bigpond.com> wrote: > > Hi all. > > She has Time Machine running because I set it up for her a while back. > So might try to find iPhoto Library on that this morning. > >> On 9 May 2018, at 7:46 am, Alan Smith <sma...@iinet.net.au >> <mailto:sma...@iinet.net.au>> wrote: >> >> Hi Stephen >> >> I sent a reply in error from my iPad which is probably not relevant.
