Iphoto '08- pictures do not display

[bgradwell]

When i open iphoto, my pictures don't display. You click on the "events" or "photos" and the picture isn't there, only a square dotted box appears. The title of the file is still there, and the photo info is still there, but no pictures. This problem occured shortly after i tried to export my photos onto a 2 gb zip drive. There were to many pictures and it wouldn't fit onto the zip drive. What happened was the pictures i had on the zip drive appear in i photo now and that is all that displays. I took the computer to a tech at my university and he said my hard drive has a corrupt file and my photos are gone! Please help!

Thanks brent

What method did you use to export to your zip drive? Did you do this from within iPhoto app or from within the library in finder? If you did from finder, that is your problem. Don't do anything to/with your library in finder -- the behavior you are seeing will result.

You may try a rebuild of your library -- see the Apple site for instructions.
