Hi Folks
My first post to the list after lurking for a few months.
I have a 20" iMac, 1.25Ghz G4, 768MB RAM. OS 10.3.8.
Recently iPhoto (4.0.3) has slowed down on start up. It shows all the
thumbnails quickly (approx 2500 photos - <3GB)
but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears for 3 - 4 minutes before I
can do anything else. I can only move the window out of the way and use
other apps eg Mail etc while I am waiting.
The only thing I have done recently, but can't see how it would affect
things, is copy the iPhoto Library (using copy and paste from the
folder on the Mac) to a Lacie 160GB external hard drive for back up.
Any ideas? Does anyone else back up this way? Is there a better way to
do it?
Andrew
