I'm having a very irritating problem with my iPhoto which is the following:
A few weeks ago the external hard drive on which I store my iPhoto library became unattached while still mounted. Since this time whenever I open iPhoto it shows no photos or events. However, when I look at the library and images folder I can see that the photos are still there. I then downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and extracted the photos from my iPhoto library into another folder, and tried to nominate this as folder to which iPhoto should point when it is opened. However, the same problem seems to exist (i.e. when I open iPhoto it tells me I have no events or photos).
I also tried downloading Picassa, which shows all of my photos. However, I will need to sort these and some go as far back as 2001. I understand that Picassa is a superior means of storing and managing photos, but since the problem with my iPhoto I have been careful not to upload any new photographs to my machine as I'm not sure where they will automatically be stored.
Does anyone know how I can get iPhoto to see my photos once again? Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
