iPhoto Library Manager

Today, I was using iPhoto Library Manager to access different libraries in iPhoto as usual. I prefer the iPhoto Libraries system rather than Photos Libraries. Today, I made an accidental inadvertent move with the mouse. It resulted in my iPhoto screen becoming so big that I can’t operate anything from that full size screen in i-Photo. It occupies the entire computer screen. I can no longer move from that screen to a different library, or do anything else. For some reason when I open a Library in iPhoto Library Manager, I get a screen that covers the whole computer screen. I cannot make it smaller in order to work normally. This also stops me from going to other Libraries that I wish to work with. I seem to have done something with my mouse to cause this problem. Is there anyone familiar with iPhoto Library Manager that can help me rectify the accidental move I made? I have been using iPhoto Library Manager for about 15 years & love it; but now I have made a move that I haven’t been able to fix.

It sounds like you have inadvertently triggered full-screen view.


At the top of every window are three coloured buttons. Click on the green one. This will take you out of full screen and you'll be able resize the window as usual.


Standard warning: iPhoto hasn't been developed or sold in more than 6 years. It doesn't even run on recent operating systems and newer Macs. Your life with iPhoto ends when your Mac breaks down and need replacement. That will happen eventually. It is better that you select and migrate to an alternative app now, while everything still works, while you have the option of trialling and testing to find one that suits you, rather than then, when it will be a crisis and you'll have less room to manoeuvre.
