using iphoto 7.1.4 [371 ]. So far I have trashed the iphoto prefs.-finder.plist and ran diskwarrior. when i click on a thumb pic. it opens but it will break apart into blocks in the window; I click on the outside of the pic. to close and click on pic. again and it will open okay.quite often when it reopens it seems that the redraw of the pic is a little slow. after opening several pics. it seems to settle down and work okay for awhile. when I close the iphoto app. and reopen I'm back to where I was. anybody? Have this problem, and a cure. It's been bugging me for a mo. or two.
thanks much----Dickster--------------------------------------
 
Hi DICKSTER, how many photos, on average, would you have in the iPhoto library?

Have you tried using iPhoto in another user account, importing a certain amount of photos in and seeing if the break up replicates itself?
 
TRACEY-i HAVE ABOUT 2500 PICS IN IPHOTO-WHICH SHOULDN'ST CAUSE ANY PROBS.
No I haven't tried using another acct., it's worth a try. I am at work now so can't do anything. Thanks for your response. p.s. I even did a complete rebuild of iphoto library and no luck.

You've had probs with iPhoto before, haven't you DICKSTER? How do you manage your photos? Do you have a digital camera connected by USB and then iPhoto launches to let you download the images? Do you use any other photo apps?

Try the other user account when you get home ... and you're perfectly correct with 2500 photos not being enough to cause troubles.

Another thing you could try in to export your library to the desktop, then quit iPhoto and launch it holding down the Opt key. Create a new library in your Pictures folder and import your photos into it. You can easily delete this library when the experiment is done but use this new library for a while at least, so you can check out if this cracking up business is still happening ...

I'll check back tomorrow as it's nearly midnight here and I'm a bit sleepy ...
