Mar 18, 2013 5:35 PM in response to DenverSkyfallby gospyro,Old Toad.... IF... and that is a big if... I am looking at the right drives/numbers, my iMac has a 1T HD and it is used as the boot dive. There is a little over 600GB free on the drive.
Memory, if I am reading it right, I have 4GB.I am currently running iPLM on the second Library, and it seems to be running smoother and faster... at least so far. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Mar 19, 2013 9:13 AM in response to gospyroby Old Toad,Free space isn't an issue. It's recommended to maintain a minimum of 10 GB of free space at all times. Up that to 20 GB if you use iDVD. 4GB memory should not be a probolem unless you have a lot of apps open at the same time doing heavy work.
However, upping the memory to 8 GB does make noticible speed increases in the system and most apps. I upgraded my iMac to 8 GB for $35 at Crucible.com.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Mar 19, 2013 11:57 AM in response to DenverSkyfallby gospyro,It appears that all went well (although it did take approx. 12 hrs) to 'rebuild' a 34GB Library... but it did it this time without all the stops due to iPhoto failing to close. I'm guessing that if there was a problem with a photo/file/album in the library, it was in the first half. (but who knows)
Both Libraries seem to be working fine now.
I 'thought' that when I bought this computer (it's relatively new) that I asked them to 'max out' the memory... but looking yesterday, as you suggested, I realized that there is two unused slots and I can double my memory.
I'll look into doing just that.
Thank you.
Also, if I haven't mentioned it before... iPLM has an UPDATE out.

Jun 30, 2013 7:21 AM in response to DenverSkyfallby gospyro,Hello Ade2..
Don't know if you are having the same problem as me, but I was finally able to fix it using "iPhonto Library Manager" and doing a 'rebuild library' from iPLM.
I may take a while, so turn off the 'energy saver' settings on your computer. IF, I remember right, it took between 6 and 9 hours to run a 'rebuild' on each of the libraries I was having trouble with. But it did fix the problem.
Make sure to get the latest versin of iPhoto Library Manager'. I wish I could remember more, but it's been several months since I was messing with this problem.
Good luck!

Jun 30, 2013 11:30 PM in response to DenverSkyfallby gospyro,Glad to hear it!!! I wonder why Apple has not address this issue. Guess it's not a big enough issue for them. But it drove me nuts, and it took me forever to find someone that knew how to fix it. Actually, I think what I had to wait for was iPLM to update their 'rebuild' function to fix the problem.

Jul 19, 2013 5:09 PM in response to DenverSkyfallby Pierre H.A. C.,A workaround that worked for me:
- create a new folder in albums
- move your albums into the folder
- manual sorting is possible within this folder.
- Select all sorted albums and move them back to the top level (drag and drop just over the 1st album).

PhotographyHas anyone else tried the workaround above? I assume once you move the albums back into the top levee, they become un-moveable again, but I will try it myself. I'd like to report that a couple weeks ago my albums "unfroze" and I was able to re-arrange. I have no idea what caused it. But then it went back to un-moveable. Again, no idea why. So that might be a clue to the cause of the problem. My library is over 200GB so I might try to rebuild with iPLM if I can find a couple days to spare without needing my computer. I have another computer that I use less, so maybe I will copy my library to an external drive, then ask that other laptop to chew on it with iPLM for a while. If it works, then I can copy the fixed library over to my original laptop.
