[QUOTE="Zanmato, post: 484932, member: 38053"] [b]Give It A Try...[/b] hi there.. you can try rebuild your iphoto and re-create itunes library.. To rebuild the iPhoto library: 1. Make a backup of the folder ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library in the Finder, and set it aside. Important: A backup allows you to restore the iPhoto Library should anything go wrong during the rebuild (such as a power failure) that prevents the library from rebuilding correctly. 2. Quit iPhoto if it is open. 3. I'm not sure what version of i photo you are using so For iPhoto 4.0.3 or earlier: Hold down the Shift and Option keys on the keyboard. For iPhoto 5.0 or later: Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard. 4. Open iPhoto. 5. Keep the keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library. 6. Click Yes. iPhoto will try to rebuild the iPhoto library. This can take several minutes, depending on its size. "Manual rebuild" If iPhoto's built-in rebuild tool does not appear to resolve the issue, you may have to manually recreate the library by using the steps below. Keep in mind that this "manual rebuild" procedure does not preserve metadata such as Album names or sorting, and it may introduce duplicates into the iPhoto library. Tip: In the steps below, restricting the search size to greater than 30KB should help you avoid importing the iPhoto thumbnail files as pictures. Manual rebuild 1. While holding the Option key, open iPhoto. 2. When prompted, select the option to create a new library. 3. From the iPhoto menu, choose Hide iPhoto. 4. Locate the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder (it should be in your Pictures folder), and open it. 5. Choose File > Find. 6. Change the search scope to find files in "this folder" that are "Size is greater than 30KB" and "Kind is Images". (You can click the + or - buttons in the Find window to add or remove search terms if needed.) 7. Click the iPhoto icon in the Dock. 8. Drag the search results into the blank iPhoto window to import these images. How to re-create iTunes Library Learn how to re-create your iTunes library and playlists.
