Hi Rosemary, What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you using any iPhoto Plugins?
If it is iPhoto version 9.4.3... did you let iPhoto update the Library Database when you updated from previous 9.4.? 1. Quit iPhoto. It could be some issues with the library itself. You could try this: Make a temporary, backup copy of your iPhoto Library (select your iPhoto library in Picture folder and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 2. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down until you see the resulting dialogue window for ‘Photo Library First Aid’ and rebuild the library. Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1 Repair Permissions, followed by #3 Repair Database and then #4 Rebuild Database as needed. iPhoto'11 is a better program on a Mac than Picasa as iPhoto integrates with other applications. Nothing beats Lightroom if you are really serious about photography in my opinion.
