Hello,
About a week ago I purchased a iMac 27" 2.9 from Best Buy. Up until know I have been using an Apple Powerbook 1.5 running Mac OSX 10.5.8 with a My Book Live that’s a couple years old. Everything was going OK until I brought the new computer into the house and tried to bring up iphoto using the MBL. Up until this point It has been working great. I hold down the option key, select iphoto and boom I have access to 10,000 stored photos. But when I tried this on my new machine it took a while to load and once it did all I got was empty white boxes that when you clicked on them showed a exclamation point inside of a triangle. I called geeksquad and that’s when everything went downhill. The first person I spoke with spent about 60 minutes on remote access and then just gave up and didn’t call me back. The second person I talked with said it was easy and that I needed to #1 Repair Permissions #2 Rebuild Thumbnails and #3 Repair Database. So I gave it a try and when I did I found that nothing had changed except that know when I try to pull up photos using my old machine the iphoto file is now gone and I have two other folders that say My Book Live Photo Recovered Photos and MyBook Live Recovered Photos_2. In the second folder I found only 2,100 of my 10,000 photos that I had before. I have since called them back and can get no more help. PLEASE HELP!! I would be very grateful. P.S… I know the photos are still there because when I access MBL using my ipad it says I have 10,000+ photos.
