Hey there folks,

Recently my harddrive crashed and the guys at the Apple store got it replaced. I downloaded a backup again and restored my old information btu im having trouble restoring iPhoto. I got everything in the pictures folder but none of the pics load in iPhoto. How do i get it working again? TIA

Hold down alt/option when launching iPhoto. Doing this allows you to select an iPhoto library to launch.

alt/option + command also gives you more library options.
