gaewsky1 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have an external HD attached to my mini mac. I formatted the external HD already. Basically I moved my iPhoto album to the HD and then a few weeks later transfered a new iPhoto album with new pics again (I thought the photos would be added to the iPhoto album already on the external HD). It looks like the most recent transfer overwrote the first album transfer. It either overwrote the file or I am not able to access it. It looks like I have 9GB of pics on the external hard drive but each time I access it the newest iPhoto files pull up and it isn't anywhere close to 9GB. Did I just lose a bunch of pics? Should I be doing anything in the future to where it won't overwrite the file but just add to it? Hopefully this makes sense and someone can suggest something.

Nitrousbird Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 1. Make sure you have Snow Leopard...if not, upgrade to it 2. Run Boot Camp 3. Install Windows 7, setup Windows 7 as the default OS to boot from 4. Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Did you just drag the folder over the new one? That will overwrite it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Yes you should have renamed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaewsky1 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Yes I just dragged and dropped it. I guess I will rename it from now on. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
