[gwebstech]

Hi guys

IM trying to get all the images off of my MAC onto some cloud storage, i know i have osme other images on this mac but i cant find them anywhere. Im guessing they were in iphoto/photos app but i cant open it.

Ive tried the option+command to try and repair it but it doesnt do anything.

Ive looked under users in finder to see if i can see anything but i cant, can nayone help advise what to do?

its a 2011 Macbook pro, High Sierra 10.13.6 - not sure what else you need to know

thanks

I don't suppose you had iCloud Photos enabled.

If you did then they should just sync up to iCloud and you would be good to go.
