iPHOTO 5 Problem.

[macwood1]

Hi All,

I am a recent convert to Apple and much enjoying my move.  I read  
with interest although at times with great humility the complex  
nature of the understanding many of you have on all things Mac and  
have already learned much as a result.

I am running an iMac G5 with Mac OSX Tiger, recently security updated  
10.4.5.  I have today returned from holiday to find when I tuned in  
to iPHOTO 5 that all the images have disappeared in my library and  
just empty boxes remain, the same in all folders?  When I go to "Get  
Info" all the detail remains but when I click on each image the  
wonderful spinning beachball appears and eventually I am forced to  
quit the program as their is no further response.  HELP!

Thanks,
David
