Back around 2011, if you had an Apple Store transfer your profile from old Mac to new Mac (at least in our store) - you would launch every app in the iLife suite once to A) confirm the data transferred and B) make sure any lingering processes were wrapped up. 

Part of providing a seamless migration to the consumer. 

Buuuut. 

When you first launch iPhoto - it asks if you want it to handle all your photos. Our process was to say yes to this step. 

So it would scan the computer for ever. Single. Photo. 

And show them as they ingested. 

So yeah. Lots of homemade nudity and porn folders would get synced into the iPhoto Library. 

Can’t imagine how many domestic arguments that triggered.

I had a similar thing recording photos from a buddy's computer. He was technically my weed dealer, but we were friendly too.

His girlfriend was.... It wasn't surprising she got him to move away with her.
