I've created an Automator workflow application ( requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. ![]() ![]() Try the "easy: fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file,, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
