Problem with iPhoto --are images really there?

[dmag]

I just migrated to a MBP and went into iPhoto to pull out some work images. Everything is there, but when I click on most of the images they return a big exclamation mark.

That leads me to believe that I have an iPhoto database issue. Can anybody clarify what is going on and if there is a cure?

Thanks.

Sounds like you moved the originals out of iphoto. they should be in "library" >users>my pictures folder.

One quick thing to try would be to rebuild the database, as documented here:

If you still have issues, it would help to know how you migrated these photos, possibly checking permissions on them as well.

Hey Eric,

Much appreciated. I'll give it a try.
