I am trying to solve a difficult problem in iPhoto 6.0.6
This is running on a G3 700MHz gumdrop iMac. OS X 10.4.9 with 1
GB RAM.
When doing some editing of a photo in iPhoto the changes are
never saved, it says "saving changes" but they are never
displayed (or found).
This is a new problem on an existing set-up. Things used to work
just fine.
Attempts to remedy the problem to date include;
delete iPhoto preferences file
run repair permissions (way too often)
rebuild pre binding
delete all the caches
run YASU
run applejack
run disk warrior
run disk utility
reinstall 10.4.9 combo updater
reinstall 6.0.6 updater
create new user.
do a funny little "laying on of hands"
none of the the above have fixed the problem.
I'm getting desperate and it seems that I am now left with a
reinstall iPhoto from the iLife DVD or a reinstall from the Tiger
DVD, always more difficult with this machine as it only has a CD-
RW drive and not a DVD. It is possible but a bit of a pain using
an external drive and disk image.
I'm sure that there is a fix, but I can't find it on Macintouch
or MacFixIt, or many other sites doing a search. So if you know,
please drop me a line, my daughter will be very grateful. Perhaps
there is a conflict with something installed by myspace or
youtube or something else that kids all have on their computers
these days.
thanks

Hi Robin,
Probably a silly question .....When you crop a photo, after
selecting the area to crop you are clicking on the Crop button
before clicking on the Done button?

Yes, it also happens when adjusting brightness or contrast and
using the effects filter.
You get the drop down pane and barber pole effect and "saving
changes" dialogue.
BUT no saving.

Robin,
A couple of things you could try.
1. have you tried 'Rebuilding your iPhoto Library'?
2. Also Perhaps .... Download BatchMod from http://macchampion.com/
arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
Then Restart the iMac after BatchMod.
I would recommend you backup the iPhoto Library before doing either
of the above suggestions.
Cheers,
Ronni
