Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I tried it, and it turns out the correct folder is already associated with iPhoto. All the pictures are in their little sub-sub-sub folders. But it still shows "no photos". Apparently it's no longer able to find the photos it has stored. Any...

Here's an interesting problem that I couldn't get solved on an otherwise-helpful previous thread. My baby girl was smashing keys on my un-protected laptop, and she managed to rename both my Library and Photos folders from my home folder. I was able to figure this out and rename the folders...

Well, I swapped the Picture folders, and it didn't work, but I still think that is the explanation. So how do I re-associate iPhoto with my pictures?

Hold on. I think I have a clue. I was looking through a few of the oddly-named folders in my home folder, and one of them, called CXG((9 or something, contains a huge number of exported photographs, plus a folder called iPhoto Library. So I'm guessing that this folder was once called...

Yes, I did it, and as I said, everything works great except iPhoto, which shows no photos (and says "no photos" on the bottom). Not sure why this would be true, except that I started it up after swapping the library folders but before logging out and logging back in. Any help on this final...

I'm guessing this is my fault for launching iPhoto before logging out and logging back in. Also, do you guys recommend I try to get rid of that . file in my user folder? Or should I just forget it?

OK, I renamed the new library folder, then renamed /Library to "Library", and as predicted, my preferences, history, etc. are all back & everything seems back to normal. However, when I launch iphoto, it says "Loading photos" but then no pictures appear. The "Library" icon has a little carat...

Is it possible that my kid accidentally renamed my library folder (by randomly banging on the keyboard) to /Library and the computer then created a new library folder for me? Just throwing out wild notions, here, but she does love to "type".

. Sites Public Library Halftime.doc g; CXG)}9 /Library Desktop Music Documents Pictures The dot is in fact a folder. It contains nothing, but it has a yellow-and-black circle symbol on the folder icon that looks like a nuclear fallout shelter symbol.

OK, I admit I didn't read the original response as closely as I ought to have, but I still don't understand. It says "You can check by going into your home folder from the finder and seeing both the old and new folders". So I went to my home folder -- the name of which, by the way, has not...

Well, like I said, I didn't change the name. I just returned to the computer and all my preferences were gone. I'm going on the assumption that something changed the name to perhaps the name of my wife's computer, but I honestly have no recollection of what the name of my computer was. It is...

Thanks for the reply. You may very well be right about the re-naming, although I definitely did not rename it myself. I know that no additional "users" are listed in the user listings when I log in. However, it appears that the name of the computer may have changed (to the name of a second...

What the heck?! I left my computer for twenty minutes -- it may have gone into sleep mode, as it does frequently; it may not have. Anyway, when I went back to it, I noticed that it would not check for new mail using Mac Mail. I restarted Mac Mail -- now it wants to start me from scratch with...
