Re: Problem Solved: iPhoto Issue

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peta,

I highly recommend Western Digital External  Firewire Drives. The SATA  
3.5" 1TB (as long as you have a Firewire 800 port) or the Western  
Digital 3.5" IDE 7200rpm Drives (Firewire 400 port) in a Sarotech  
HardBox enclosures.

I've never had any of my drives fail.

Send an email to Daniel Kerr. I have purchased all my drives at  
reasonable prices from Daniel Kerr of Macwizardry,

Yes, I had plugged in my Maxtor external hard drive (which I had  
been using with my Toshiba notebook and which was  set to  
automatically back up every 24 hours) when I bought my Apple earlier  
this year.  I unplugged the Maxtor a while ago because I don't think  
it was that happy to work with the Apple.  So on my list of things  
to buy was an external hard drive for the Apple.  These were really  
expensive at that time, so it was put onto hold.  I note they have  
been coming down in price more and more recently.


Any recommendations of brand/size or other thoughts?

*Incidentally, I did not discover and solve the (various) problems  
with iPhoto by myself - I had a very patient and helpful off-line  
helper, during nearly the whole of Saturday.  So much appreciated -  
there was no way that I could have solved this by myself!

Hi Peta,

You mentioned in one email how important your photos are to you, it  
would be devastating to loose all your photos.


I work with my iPhotos a lot, nearly every day - this is my  
passion - so if I lost my thousands and thousands of photos it  
would be a disaster for me.


Make sure you are doing current backups of your iPhoto Library onto  
an External Firewire Drive, or at least burn CD's / DVD's of all  
your photos.

G'Day Peta
Had your problem with iPhoto on three machines using Apple Time Capsule and
WD My Book (both 500GB). No problems with a Unitek SATA HDD Docking Station
and Superduper, about $65 plus whatever size HD you use.

Thank you all so very much for your efforts to help me with my  
missing iPhoto and my icon dropping from the dock (two problems).


This problem was caused by, in some mysterious unknown way, the  
iPhoto having placed intself into the wrong directory.  Now, a  
happy ending, I am reunited with my photos.


Have a great weekend and a fantastic Christmas/New Year break.

in distress when I realised you were almost my neighbour!!


Good outcomes - well done.
