Q: Where is this file - com.apple.iApps.plist?

It is not in the Preferences folder of my Home folder. I was trying to import my iPhoto photos to Picasa and it suggested I delete this file, because I have a contaminated albumdate.xml file. I am running Lion and iPhoto '11.

Mac's and PC's, Other OS, iPods and iPads too.

That file is in

HD/Library/Preferences

Though I don't believe that it will repair a "contaminated" (do you mean 'Corrupted'?) xml file.

Hi Terence,
Yes, I meant corrupted. I looked for this file where you said, and I don't see it. Attached is a screen print FYI. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well thatt's where it used to be. How old is this suggestion?

In any event, it's quite pointless, it won't fix a corrupted xml file.

Terence,
Some additional information -
1. I'm using iPhoto Library Manager which may explain why the .plist file is missing.
2. iPhoto has no apparent trouble displaying the files I'm trying to import to Picasa.
3. Here are the two sequential messages I receive from Picasa:
Any suggestions?

No, I gave up when I didn't hear back from Terence. However, I haven't tried it with Mountain Lion; et al.

The com.apple.iApps.plist file is located in the user Library folder ([username]/Library/), not the startup disk's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default as of OS X 10.6. To make it visible, hold the Option key and click on the Finder's "Go" menu, and select "Library" from the popup. There are several methods you can use to keep it visible. One way is to drag the folder to the Finder's sidebar.
