Sheesh! I don`t know whether to cry or laugh when I read that statement. My principle reason for leaving Apple is precisely because I`m NOT very tech savy! If I had the skills and knowledge to deal by myself with all the little hitches that come up (or the inclination to do extensive research and learning), maybe I would continue. Since I don`t know how to handle tech issues, I`m kind of stuck- either pay somebody or spend hours searching, asking around just like I`m doing now. In the end, that usually works, but I don`t like doing it. To solve mysteries (minor mysteries for people who know, big head scratchers for me) on my wife`s Windows laptop, there are a myriad of reasonably knowledgeable friends and family at the ready. But when we mention Mac, most sort of shrug and cower away. Obviously there are people who know Mac well, but none in my circle of friends. I must live in a "Mac desert".
EDIT: Oh, thank you very much for the location trails (what do you call them?) to the original and modified iPhoto files. I did find those on my Mini, but they open up even more mysteries and confusion for me- multiple libraries, numbers don`t come close to adding up, and some ghost archives have opened up with a lot of pictures I thought were lost years ago. Is that good news or bad news??? Haha, I don`t even know any more! So my plan has changed again. Now before I ask the service center at a "box store" to move my files, I want to bring the Mini to a serious Mac specialist for consultation. It`s a really weird situation that I have a hard time explaining remotely, would much rather start clicking in my archives in the presence of a real expert so I can ask "WTF is this all about!?!"
