Dear SMUGs, Hope it is OK if I share the following problem my daughter is having with photobooks on her (Intel) i-Mac:
"I have approximately 3000 photos from a particular holiday that I wanted to make into two separate large photobooks. I selected the event that these photos are in and completed a 96 page book using the first half of them. No problems completing the book or going in and out of it over several weekends to do it. I then started on the second volume from the other half of the photos and could always continue to access the first album and compare so the style was similar and not too many similar photos. Just as I was finishing the second volume (80 - 90 pages as well) I started having problems with accessing the first. When I click on the icon I just get a 'loading book' message, but it never actually loads. The information panel tells me the title of the book, the date range of the photos included, the number of items selected from and the size (18.3GB). Sometimes when I try to load I get as far as the bar at the top showing the photos it has been selected from, but if I scroll through these it shows the photos that I have selected for the second book. When I click on the second book it comes up within a couple of seconds, but the information panel gives me different information - the title of the book, the theme, type, size, the items, how many photos are unplaced and how many pages it contains. I had tried searching discussion forums for similar problems and the only suggested problem/ solution related to the amount of hard drive free space - mine is over 130 GB so I don't think this is the problem. As so many hours over several weekends were spent making up the first book I want to try and get into it rather than starting again - any suggestions about what the problem might be or whether there is any other way of recovering the file or accessing it from outside of iphoto? Unfortunately no backup - partly because I couldn't manage to save it outside of iphoto just in case and partly because time machine was only set-up externally after the problem started (now done of course!)." As always, all contributions gratefully received.
