The photos should be somewhere in Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals . If they're not there, my only explanation is that you somehow didn't copy all the photos. And you can't recover what isn't there.

Ok thanks, but I had them a week and I was editing them croping ect. why only 19 pics can be found using spot light.

Were you using iPhoto to do the editing/cropping, or did you use another program (like Photoshop)?

No, the editing was done in iPhoto only.

Can you please do the following:

  1. Click on your desktop, so that the Finder is active.
  2. Press Command (Apple) and 'F'.
  3. You should see the "Kind" menu. Click on the menu to the right of it, and select "Images".

Now let it search, and scroll through the results.
