I've just spent a few hours transferring 14,795 photos from my PhotoSafe (an external HD that will accept SD cards). I can see the photos in iPhoto but I can't do anything with them. Maybe only the thumbnails transferred? I get the following message "The volume for "xxx.JPG cannot be found." While it gives me three options (Cancel, Find Photo..., OK) it will do none. In fact I have to Force Quit iPhoto to do anything.
I just tried with an SD card to transfer the photos using a card reader and get the same results; however I was able to transfer them to my HD but in a separate folder. Not in iPhoto. Each of these photos is about 1.5 MB in size and will open in Photoshop but I cannot get them into iPhoto. I've had this problem before and can't remember how I got around it. I think iPhoto eventually decided to work. Any suggestions? How can I tell if the original photos were transferred off the PhotoSafe or if all I have is thumbnails. I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Any help greatly appreciated.
