[QUOTE="Wamphray, post: 1509692, member: 283984"] Sorry, if I haven't explained myself very well. I don't know if I understand myself! Here's what's happening (or rather, what's [I]not [/I]happening): First thing to say is that its [I]Media[/I] that's gone from the Finder, not [I]Places[/I] as I said. Until a couple of days ago, I had a Media panel in the Finder sidebar. Its principal use (to me) was to in certain programs - like Fotomagico, Blurb etc - which allow me to browse my sidebar and load images from iPhoto. That is: When I scrolled down the sidebar, I clicked on the Images icon, from where I could load images or albums from iPhoto into the programs. With the disappearance of the icon, I can't do that - and Iphoto is grayed out in those programs. And Finder Preferences invites me to select from Favorites, Shared and Devices only. Last night, after searching online for a solution - I had a look in iPhoto Manager and saw that two of my libraries are in red font, with "iPhoto Libraries archives cannot be found" beside them. I also noticed that, when I right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, I seem to have duplicate versions of my libraries. See below: [ATTACH=FULL]18952[/ATTACH] What do you know!! When I added the image above, the browse work as it used to. (i.e.: click on browse, scroll down to Media, images, click on images> browse through iPhoto thumbnails and choose). But it's stil absent from the other programme and from Finder sidebar. Sorry if my terminology doesn't make sense to people-who-know, but I do appreciate the interest you guys are showing in my problems and the help you're giving to try to sort it out. [/QUOTE]
