I’m using an iMac with MacOS26.4 . My pictures are on an external drive and so ist my Apple foto Lybary. When I try to us the iPhoto Plug in for imports, I always get an error message telling me that the version of the Photolybary is not supported. Any help is very much appreciated. Is there a new Plug in for Apple Foto i need to install???

Thanks, Dirk
