Hi Ronni
Haven't actually deleted the old one yet until I have time to check
thoroughly - but new library is working just fine.
It's actually on a firewire drive (not the same one as the backup) so
not in home > pictures. This has been the case for ages without a
hitch so I'm thinking th
You're welcome Alastair,
Good to hear you have iPhoto working correctly again.
Did you do the rest of my suggestion?
Once you are satisfied the new iPhoto Library is functioning
correctly delete the old iPhoto Library and MAKE A BACKUP of the
New iPhoto Library.
But, don't delete it until
Ronni
You've done it again - correct in every particular, dragging the
rolls over works like a charm
many many thanks

Hi Alastair,
Hmm Ok ...
1. The New iPhoto Library you have created is working correctly?
2. But, you now need to get your "Original Photos" from the "Back Up

3. Go into the "Back Up" iPhoto Library and find the "Originals"
Folder.

Hi Ronni
Hm the iphoto outlook is about as sunny as the weather in the hills
this morning. I have at least learned a few things...
I deleted the preference file which gave me a brand new library.
Imported some pics and watched a finder window while it did its stuff
- sure enough a folder
Ronni
Many thanks for your help and at such a late hour - I will pursue
your suggestions tomorrow

Hi Alastair,

Have you tried deleting the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file,or moving it

Hi again Ronni
Thanks for suggestion - but after another rebuild all is as before
except that I now have FOUR identical copies of my last roll, all of
which produce the file when clicked.
(pause)
I imported another, different roll, to see if the import system was
working now. It importe
Hi Ronni
No I had ticked 3 of the 4 available (iPhoto 6, os10.4.11) on some
googled advice, so orphans not included. Trying again now, then going
out, so will report back later.
I meant I had searched the whole disc from the finder for the photos'
file numbers, without success.
I have
When you rebuilt the iPhoto Library did you 'tick' "Recover orphaned
photos in the iPhoto Library folder".
In fact did you tick all 5 options?
Searching for the files by name within iPhoto won't find these photos
as they are disconnected photos.
IPhoto has lost the connection to them ... w
yes, both of those are ticked

Thanks Ronni and sorry I forgot to mention that I tried a rebuild -
it spent an hour on the job but to no avail. As I said, searching for
the files by name brings up nothing so I suspect they are gone.
None were greyscale
many thanks
