[QUOTE="Lacey, post: 1324224, member: 222735"] I am in desperate need of some technical assistance! I changed my username and changed the administrative password...then began the process of changing my shortname. When I logged out and logged in as the root user and changed the shortname and logged back in, all my thousands of pictures were GONE from iPhoto!!!!! I found them all (I think) under Finder-Apps-Users and my account, but can't get them back into iPhoto....it keeps saying there's too much for my hard drive and stops the process. I had them all separated by months and videos vs photos (like I said seriously thousands). What should I do?! Is there anyway to get it back to the way I started? If I can get them back to the old shortname even I'll live with it just to have my photos back the way they were!! Please help and thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
