G'day David, This sounds very familiar to the problem I had in " 2002  
" where Jonathon Glauert solved my problem completely ( I've attached  
my problem and his advise ) hope it works, if not,  I'm sure it will  
be solved by someone on the list

iPhoto dosn't like you fiddling around in the iPhoto folder in the
pictures folder.
Make a duplicate of the iPhoto folder in the pictures folder and store
it some place else.
Trash the iPhoto folder, not the duplicate
trash the iPhoto preferences
  home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
also delete iPhoto cache found in home/Library/caches/iPhoto cache
start iPhoto and reimport your photos from the duplicate iPhoto  
folder.


this should work
in future, export/copy/print/mail photos only from within the iPhoto
application.

had 450 photos in the library and placed in seperate albums with the
albums showing on the left of panel, used to click on Photo  
Library and

all photos showed in thumb nail, alt click on one of the albums and
showd those particular photos, now when iphotos launch there are no
photos in any of the albums including Photo Library, info at the  
bottom

of the panel states there are 450 photos in there ! When I go into
Home/Pictures/Iphoto Library I can find the pictures there some say
img-jpg some jpg, if I try to drag them into Photo library I get a
window stating " unreadable files,couldn't be imported( may be
unrecognizeable file type or files not contain valid data "
can anyone please assist in how I can get my photos back, or are
they
gone for ever, hopefully not.

thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

Hi All,

I am a recent convert to Apple and much enjoying my move.  I read  
with interest although at times with great humility the complex  
nature of the understanding many of you have on all things Mac and  
have already learned much as a result.


I am running an iMac G5 with Mac OSX Tiger, recently security  
updated 10.4.5.  I have today returned from holiday to find when I  
tuned in to iPHOTO 5 that all the images have disappeared in my  
library and just empty boxes remain, the same in all folders?  When  
I go to "Get Info" all the detail remains but when I click on each  
image the wonderful spinning beachball appears and eventually I am  
forced to quit the program as their is no further response.  HELP!


Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Are you using the latest iPhoto5?


Rebuild your iPhoto Library. It's a good idea to make a backup copy  
of your iPhoto Library folder (located in your Pictures folder)  
before rebuilding it.


To rebuild the library:

If iPhoto is open, quit it.
Hold down the Command and Option keys, and open iPhoto
iPhoto opens and rebuilds your library.

Cheers,
