[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1604589"] That was a bad choice for moving the photo library. It sounds like she let go of the mouse too early, and the computer attempted to copy the entire photo library onto the desktop, which of course would crash the computer. Gather the pictures on the desktop or wherever they ended up, and move them to the external drive, then rebuild the iPhoto library by launching iPhoto with the command and option keys held down. Check every box in the repair options and let it do its thing. Alternatively, you could just do a restore from yesterday using a Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
