Hi Ronni, As I mentioned before I have already tried to rebuild the iPhot library (34.43gb) with iPhoto Library Manager. Dialogue box states 'Cannot rebuild. This library cannot be rebuilt because the xml file contains no image records' Package contents reveals many folders and images.

If there are photos in the Library, then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. NOTE: Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back. Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
