MacBook Pro i7 8GB Ram OS High Sierra 1 TB HD 2010, video failure - replaced with MacBook Pro 2015 i7 16GBRam 1TB SSD OS Mojave using Time Machine backup for fresh instal onto 2015. Moved over my older 27" Apple Display from the 2010 PB. Most everything fell into place including user info, network and inherited backups. Have to hold at Mojave for now due to some work related software/files.
However have two problems to do with Photos.
Item One:
My original Desktop Photo appears but the Screen Saver reverted to the System - Landscapes. I re-selected the "Shifting tiles" option and then under Source I went to "Choose Folder" selecting Pictures from the SSD and all the 20 libraries I have are greyed out and cannot be selected. Yes my most recent library opens up fine in Photos app. I was using the PowePhotos App for managing these libraries on the previous computer so I opened it up on this new PB and selected the current library and it did its indexing but that did not resolve the problem. Any suggestions appreciated !
Item Two:
I was running Photo Stream nicely on the 2010 PB with OS High Sierra and now when I open Photos on the 2015 OS Mojave Photos library the "My Photo Stream" folder is not present. It is on my desktop computer running Big Sur and my older dying PB 2010 OS High Sierra just fine. Yes I have gone into Preferences/iCloud selected Photos and confirmed the check mark is in place on the 2015 problem machine. Any suggestions appreciated here also including hiring help if that's where this is at.
