I am running OS 10.6.4 on a MacBookPro.
I was running very low on memory and other problems associated with iphoto (such as the beach ball, needing to force quit occasionally, quitting unexpectedly and a very few grey squares).
I have moved my iphoto library off my laptop & onto an external hard drive but was still finding that things ran very slowly & the dreaded beach ball kept popping up.
So, I did a rebuild, following instructions on the apple website. Now all my files in iphoto come up at the grey squares.
Was it something I did in the rebuild? Is there a way to reverse the rebuild?
I do have the original iphoto still on my laptop (renamed iphoto old) so I have not lost everything, but it takes forever to copy over to my external hdd and I would like to know what I did wrong so I don't do it again.
And if I do need to start from scratch again, what can I do to speed up the iphoto program apart from delete all the old photos off my laptop to give my computer more memory?
