changing an event name in iphoto

goldenmeg · #1 September 8th, 2007, 02:41 PM

I've just upgraded to a new imac running Tiger. I can't seem to edit the names of the events in iphoto. I click on the name and get a white text box. But then I can not edit the name. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I imported my iphoto library from a Mac running Panther through the firewire connection. Thanks

It may be a permissions issue, if the library was created under a different user. Open Disk Utility, and run "repair permissions", and check that you have read & write access to the library (select, and press apple-I, check permissions tab)

Also, open Font Book and verify you have Helvetica Neue installed.If it isn't, you can install it with Pacifist and your OS X disk.

I ran the repair. I checked the read/write of the library (OK). I dont' know how Font Book works. None of my fonts are listed in it. I opened Word, and all my fonts are available including Helvetica Neue. Does this mean iphoto should see this font?
