Q: iphoto cant find photo

Hi there....

 

Running Mountain lion on a week old 27inch imac.

 

Started to photostream some picture that migrated over from my old mac, first few albums I streamed to people work great.

 

However, now when I go to select some pics from a trip to the US back in 2010 when i select the pics i want, and then hit share it comes up with: -

The photo “IMG_xxxxxx” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.

 

But I'm not trying to upload any photos that it names.

 

Someone please help as this mac is going out the window and I'll stick to my 7yr old imac on Snow Lepoard that never casued me any hassle.....it just worked!

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    Your iMac is working fine.  It's the iPhoto library that's not so good.  How did you get the library  from your old Mac to the new one? (I'm assuming the library is from your old Mac).

    Yes it is from my old mac, I used Migration which frankly is a disaster.  I have several duplicates of photos - events split, extras ones added.  Photos merged from Albums to others etc

     

    Its going to take hours to sort!

     

    Any help/advice would be great.

     

    Thanks Toad

    Connect the two Macs together and just drag the library over from the old Mac to the new one. Migration Assistant has been known to mess up iPhoto Libraries during migrations.
