Snow Leopard:
The iPhoto icon in the dock does not respond to a click and even disappeared from the Applications folder. Fortunately the collection of some 11,000 photos is safe on an external, dedicated drive.
The error notice in Library Manager states:
Album data is malformed. Encountered unknown ampersand-escape sequence at line 7. See iPhoto Library Manager help for trouble shooting inf.
That led me to a two-page dissertation on what to do with the AlbumData.xml file. I was confronted with some 6500 lines of code and the prospect of looking for that elusive number 7. At age 84 I don't have enough years left to find it.
I have TimeMachine, properly maintained, on a separate HDD, and also have the original Snow Leopard installation disk.
This happened literally over-night. The only action after the previous night's session was an attempt to download photos of a reunion with a childhood friend I had not seen in 67 years.
I hope I can get some help from a kind soul, thank you!
