Q: After all the steps I still have a corrupt iphoto 11 Albumdata.xml file. What next?

I have tried all the steps here, except deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist because I don't have one! I deleted it ages ago trying to do this before and it seems it never created a new one. So, none of this steps work. I want to import my iphoto to Picasa.

 

I'm using a Macbook Pro 13 inch, 500 gig HDD 2011 version, with Mountain Lion and the latest iPhoto 11. iPhoto has been acting iffy for ages even after repairing permissions, rebuilding the library and every step I can find. So I want to switch to Picasa. Am I going to have to manually import and sort pics to Picasa?

macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

    What you did was recommend that everyone use very outdated 2009 information to manually make changed to the contents of their iPhoto database using BBEdit - you do what you want - but it is not a good idea to do that and it is a worse idea to tell others to do it - it is extremely dangerous and is very likely to lead to loss of data and maybe photos

    Sorry Larry ..... Pls reread !

     

    There was no change to orig. files .....just looking for the problem in a COPY of the file (XML)

    And then copying the images (orig.) and deleting from IPhoto .... Then changing the file name to correct the non-ASCII issues or whatever Zap Gremlins found, and re-adding to iPhoto.

     

    I will not be replying further.  Pls READ b4 replying :) ...  And I apologize if it was not clear, but clarified in later posts.

     

    Cheers
