Not sure if this is the right thread, but anyways...

I've got a few pictures in iphoto that show up as a thumbnail, but when I double-click on them to view them larger, it just shows up as a grey box with a "!" in the middle of it. I tried snooping other forums, and it said something about iphoto losing the connection between the actual picture in finder. So any help with this is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Alec

More than likely the original files are no longer in the iPhoto folder, they've been moved or deleted. They may be else were on your Mac but they need to be in the iPhoto folder too. Delete the thumbnail from iPhoto and re import the photos.
