How appropriate – #1500

I would have thought that when I buy a new MacBook Air running Lion, I’d be able to import the library that I had under Snow Leopard.

Wrong.

Apple tells me that Snow Leopard, the previous version of their OS, runs a newer version of iPhoto.

80GB (and 10 years…) of digital photography gone.

Or until Apple come up with a solution.

Which they tell me they  haven’t got.

And yes, I do have a Time Machine backup.

And no, it doesn’t help

    And when I saw that iPhoto alert, I thought it was on my computer and I almost panicked!

    You should update iPhoto on Snow Leopard first, then start the migration to Lion. It works!

    Firstly, congratulations on 1500!

    Secondly, I really hope there is a relatively painless solution.
