iPhoto causing old MacBook Pro to crash-- ned to save photos!

1. Scroll down in your user folder and open the "Pictures" folder.
2. Locate the "iPhoto Library" file.
3. Press and hold the "Control" key while clicking on the "iPhoto Library" file.
4. Click the "Show Package Contents" option.
5. Open the "Data.noindex" folder. This folder contains all your pictures sorted into folders by date.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Then try to open your original library again.

If still crashing try holding down the Option + Command keys and run the following repairs: 1 - Repair permissions; 2 - Rebuild database.

Open the "Data.noindex" folder. This folder contains all your pictures sorted into folders by date.

No it doesn't. The Data.noindex folder contains thumbnails. Your original photos are in a folder called Masters or Originals, depending on the version of the app you have.

Thanks for the info!
