Merry Christmas


My iPhoto has been working just fine until today when it will not open. I Have followed the scipts, opening up with Option/Command but no luck.


I tried restoring from my Time Machine/Capsule backup as of yesterday at 3pm when I know it was working.


I get as far as selecting the back up and "open with iPhoto" and click on the small Library icon but nothing happens.


Where am i going worng.


Any suggestions welcome.


Thank you

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.


Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
