Hi there,

I have backed-up my laptop, and did reboot it as it wasn’t working optimally.

However after setting it back up again with the backup, I went to IPhoto and found it empty.

How do I transfer photos from a backup-up on my harddrive to iPhoto?

I tried to import the photos via iPhoto, but it found 85000 pictures, as many of them were there tripled, plus there were pictures of only faces too.. I only have about 7000 pictures on the back-up.

hope you can help me,

many thanks
