Anne,
I have had that same problem, eventually found a solution, but about a year later, it started 'losing' photos again.
I'm trying to re-discover what I did before, but haven't devoted enough time to find it. There are some discussions in the Apple forums.
If I remember correctly, my problem was a directory that needed to be sent to the trash, and then iPhoto rebuilt the directory.
I'll try to find out more by this week-end and share it with you.

I've just spent a few hours transferring 14,795 photos from my PhotoSafe (an external HD that will accept SD cards). I can see the photos in iPhoto but I can't do anything with them. Maybe only the thumbnails transferred? I get the following message "The volume for "xxx.JPG cannot be found." While it gives me three options (Cancel, Find Photo..., OK) it will do none. In fact I have to Force Quit iPhoto to do anything.
I just tried with an SD card to transfer the photos using a card reader and get the same results; however I was able to transfer them to my HD but in a separate folder. Not in iPhoto. Each of these photos is about 1.5 MB in size and will open in Photoshop but I cannot get them into iPhoto.
I've had this problem before and can't remember how I got around it. I think iPhoto eventually decided to work.
Any suggestions? How can I tell if the original photos were transferred off the PhotoSafe or if all I have is thumbnails.
I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help greatly appreciated.
