Thanks for this Ronni
Yes, I had plugged in my Maxtor external hard drive (which I had been
using with my Toshiba notebook and which was set to automatically
back up every 24 hours) when I bought my Apple earlier this year. I
unplugged the Maxtor a while ago because I don't think it was that
happy to work with the Apple. So on my list of things to buy was an
external hard drive for the Apple. These were really expensive at
that time, so it was put onto hold. I note they have been coming down
in price more and more recently.
Any recommendations of brand/size or other thoughts?
*Incidentally, I did not discover and solve the (various) problems
with iPhoto by myself - I had a very patient and helpful off-line
helper, during nearly the whole of Saturday. So much appreciated -
there was no way that I could have solved this by myself!

Hi Peta,
You mentioned in one email how important your photos are to you, it
would be devastating to loose all your photos.
I work with my iPhotos a lot, nearly every day - this is my passion
- so if I lost my thousands and thousands of photos it would be a
disaster for me.
Make sure you are doing current backups of your iPhoto Library onto
an External Firewire Drive, or at least burn CD's / DVD's of all
your photos.
Cheers,
Ronni

Thank you all so very much for your efforts to help me with my
missing iPhoto and my icon dropping from the dock (two problems).
This problem was caused by, in some mysterious unknown way, the
iPhoto having placed intself into the wrong directory. Now, a
happy ending, I am reunited with my photos.
Have a great weekend and a fantastic Christmas/New Year break.
