G'day David, This sounds very familiar to the problem I had in " 2002
" where Jonathon Glauert solved my problem completely ( I've attached
my problem and his advise ) hope it works, if not, I'm sure it will
be solved by someone on the list

Subject: Re: iphoto help - lost photos
iPhoto dosn't like you fiddling around in the iPhoto folder in the
pictures folder.
Make a duplicate of the iPhoto folder in the pictures folder and store
it some place else.
Trash the iPhoto folder, not the duplicate
trash the iPhoto preferences
home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
also delete iPhoto cache found in home/Library/caches/iPhoto cache
start iPhoto and reimport your photos from the duplicate iPhoto
folder.
this should work
in future, export/copy/print/mail photos only from within the iPhoto
application.

G'day, ( first attempt at posting, sorry for any protocol breaches)
running G4./ 800 mhz./ os 10.1.5./ 768 mb ram/ iphoto 1.1.1.
had 450 photos in the library and placed in seperate albums with the
albums showing on the left of panel, used to click on Photo
Library and
all photos showed in thumb nail, alt click on one of the albums and
showd those particular photos, now when iphotos launch there are no
photos in any of the albums including Photo Library, info at the
bottom
of the panel states there are 450 photos in there ! When I go into
Home/Pictures/Iphoto Library I can find the pictures there some say
img-jpg some jpg, if I try to drag them into Photo library I get a
window stating " unreadable files,couldn't be imported( may be
unrecognizeable file type or files not contain valid data "....
can anyone please assist in how I can get my photos back, or are
they
gone for ever, hopefully not.
thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

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
