Q: iPhoto can see thumbnails but cannot get full pictures
My iPhoto library seems to be corrupted.
I can see all the thumbnails but when I click on some I get a triangular sign with an exclamation point.
Others work.
Thinking that perhaps the iPhoto database was corrupted, I attempted to load an older time machine backup (mid July 2014), but Time Machine would not let me select the iPhoto directory. I can select my desktop ( as a test) but not my documents (very upsetting).
I did successfully restore the iPhoto App.
I have successfully restored my complete system twice with only minor problems. One was a permissions issue when I restored to a new MBP.
Anyway in both cases the iPhoto library stayed intact.
I would deal love to hear any suggestions that anyone might have to offer.
Thanks
