[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1259485"] Another case of a user mucking about with the iPhoto library, and the resulting crisis. Rule #1 about iPhoto: don't muck about with the actual contents of the iPhoto Library. If you do, the database gets corrupted and data gets lost. Everything you could possibly need to do with photos in iPhoto can be done and (if you want to keep things running smoothly) must be done within iPhoto. That said, at this point it sounds like you've managed to create two different iPhoto libraries. My guess is that you were accidentally holding down the option key when launching iPhoto one day and "didn't pay attention" to the prompt asking if you wanted to create a new library. You can use the $20 shareware tool [URL="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"]iPhoto Library Manager[/URL] to merge the two libraries together. Next time, don't even THINK about moving files around inside the iPhoto Library. [/QUOTE]
