When I was trying to fix IWeb somehow my IPhoto went back to the irtems wer in IPhoto in January 2011.
I have everything backed up on time Machine so how do I restore IPhot to yesterdays version?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), IWeb 3.0.3
Have you confirmed the problem in iPhoto or just from iWeb and the Media Browser window. If it's only the latter open iPhoto and make sure it is either all OK or missing the photos from Jan 2011.
If it does appear to be missing those photos try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
(This is assuming you're using iPhoto 8 or earlier. If you're using iPhoto 9 let us know)
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that doesn't help and you need to use Time Machine go to your Pictures folder and enter Time Machine. Go to yesterday's date, select the library and restore. If you have the space on your hard drive select the option to Keep Both versions just in case the backup isn't good. Then you can go back in time a bit at a time till you get the newer versions (if at all).
I'd try repairing your current library first.

Hello OT
The problem was that I lost IPhoto library (can't imagine how). I've got it back and now my images seem to be back. But I would like to manage IPhoto better, so if there's another option please let me know.
I am using IPhoto version 9, so the command/option open didn't work.
I couldn't load the IP manager as I have OS10.5.8
Thanks so much
Michael
Are you saying you couldn't get the rebuild window to open in iPhoto 9 or that when you did, running it didn't work. With iPhoto 9 (11) this is the window you get:
Hello OT:Here's what I get; what do you recommend I check?
Why won't the text center in this shape box?
Check all the boxes and follow the advice.
The last three options:
As for the text you need to double click on the shape and select the text itself before the alignment options become active.
IPhoto went back to Jan 2011
