Hi Ronni, I have tried "Repair Database" and this time it didn't flick/bypass through to the two messages it presented me with the with the "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto", appeared. I thought you bewty and I clicked - Upgrade. Then the second message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto" appeared again, with the only option - Quit.
Now as there is a grey spinning wheel showing under, the message and in light of what occurred on a previous occasion I am loath to closed down iPhoto in case it is actually "Repairing the Database", so I have left it spinning away, lest I stuff it up. Oh how I loved my Canon T90 and my Kodak 100. Matt. (I think I may have posted this incorrectly as it came back as Today's Topics: 1.
