I have an old Mac computer and it has iPhotos app instead of Photos app. Is photo recovery possible from the iPhotos app?
Before 2015, Mac computers came with the iPhoto app instead of the Photos app. So, to perform photo recovery on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or older, you need to install the latest version of Stellar Photo Recovery software on your old Mac computer. Scan the drive and look for the deleted photos. Then, select the photos you want to recover and choose the recover option to recover back.

Hi Rudolf, Thanks for sharing your valuable feedback with us!
I deleted my photos in Sierra over 30 days ago, There were about 19,000 photos and my time machine was corrupted. I have the old iMac and is there a way to recovery these photos.?
I think the only way is to remove the drive and have some one with the proper equipment to recover these photos. Is that correct?
I think if I download your Mac recovery software it will write over the photos. I am on a new iMac at this time writing this note.
I would appreciate any help on this problem.
