Yoroi doesn’t do support over Instagram or Facebook. Those are nearly 100% scammers. They just do support via their Website.

So, this seems to be your 12 word Byron wallet:

You migrated it to Shelley on 2020-07-31. At least these two transactions should be visible, when restoring it.
And this is (the stake address of) your Shelley wallet:

Last activity: You bought some additional ADA and switched the stake pool on 2021-04-18.
If the time machine solution does not work, you have to find the seed phrase for that wallet. If Adalite did not open that with the 24 words you have, there have to be some other 24 words.
Wow…you’re brilliant!
The time machine route didn’t work and the only 24 words I have offers an empty wallet. I’m screwed smh.
I’m sorry!
I can’t make you much hope, but: You created that seed one and a half years ago. That’s a lot of time. There have been others who found the correct seed phrase after looking for a few days (and swearing that they do not have another one in the meantime).
I’m really putting some thought into this. I appreciate all your help! Thank you!
Maybe it’s best to reach out to the support in this case and ask for their feedback. They might be able to help you better than all of us could.
What did not work? Do you still have a situation, before you deleted the old Daedalus on your time machine? Important would be the folder /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Daedalus/wallets/.
You could try to just copy the contents of that folder – should be some .sqlite, .sqlite-shm, .sqlite-wal files – to the same folder in the new Daedalus installation and start that new installation.
According to https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000623463-Importing-wallets, Daedalus should pick them up automatically.
When you put your seed phrase in did you do it all in lower case and put a space between each word?
Yeah I have no other access to my account. smh. I’ll get in touch with support and see what happens.
Hello.
I hope this got sorted out.
Judging from what I read here, the most likely explanation is mis recording the seed phrase.
Obviously don’t share your seed phrase.
I personally would not even enter a seed phrase into a browser extension for anything but ‘small’ wallet transactions.
When recording or transcribing seed phrases, one needs to be aware of the alternative spellings of words between say American and English dialects. Also plain spelling mistakes.
Because people will focus in panic on what they wrote down, they can then destroy a recoverable state in their anxious reaction.
I second the advice to test wallet environments with tiny transactions, ideally use empty wallets, to be sure you can restore the situation from catastrophic hardware failure.
Even then, spread risk.
American/British spelling is not that much of a problem. The words come from a pre-defined list of 2048 words that everybody can know. And they obviously don’t have American and British versions on there. Any (good) wallet app will assist you in finding the word that is on the list.
Typos only become relevant if the typo results in another word on the list. I recently had one person who wrote down “iron” instead of “lion”. Both are on the BIP-39 word list, so the wallet apps could not point them to where their error was.
Testing the seed phrases on a totally separate wallet app installation to not destroy the possibility to maybe recover the original installation (if the seed phrase is not found) is a very good advice.
