iPhoto screen saver issue

[pianos101]

I couldn't find anyone with my exact problem, so maybe you guys can help. Whenever I select an iPhoto album to be a screen saver in the prefpane some of the albums don't show the pictures in *that* album, but rather pictures in other albums. Some albums work fine, and all albums are fine when I'm looking at them in iPhoto. I tried deleting the screensaver plists, but that did nothing. The problem happens both in the preview screen, when i test it, and when the screen saver actually goes on. Any ideas?

Also...on the same note, pictures that are vertical in iPhoto only show up as horizontal when my iPhoto library is selected to be the screen saver (or any individual album). On my iMac all the pictures show up in the right orientation (as shown in iPhoto). Any ideas for either of these issues???

thanks in advance!!

So i figured out that because I had some iPhoto albums with special characters in the names (e.g., / as in 1/06) it was messing up the screen saver from compiling pictures. It may not necessarily be the album that you chose as a screen saver that's named incorrectly, but that would still cause this problem.

Rename all of your iphoto albums to use just letters/numbers (and i use "-" and it's ok) and try again... if that wasn't causing your problem then i guess i'm not much help...
