Hi!

My wife's SSD in an old 13in MBP stopped working today. She restarted it due to some problem and then it got stuck on the start-up screen, and after multiple attempts to fix the problem with no luck, I've given up on the SSD.

However, I was able to use Date Rescue to copy the files over. The only files she cares about are some recently imported iPhone photos, but I can't find them in the recovered files anywhere. There's an older iPhoto library that I upgraded, but the files aren't there.

I don't know if she used iPhoto or the Photo app. I'm not even sure exactly what OS she is running. She doesn't usually update. When I used the Recovery mode to install OS X on a new drive in an attempt to migrate everything over, it installed OS X 10.9.5.

I was able to find many of the photos in the attachment folder for Messages, but not the actual imported photos.

Any help in recovering these photos would be greatly appreciated!!
