Q: my iPhoto library seems corrupted

I can see my pictures, but I have three entries for each picture - the first has the date and seems like it is the real event. Then the same picture will be duplicated twice and instead of a date, it has a long string of characters and numbers, like a GUID.

Is there some easy fix for this? Or do I have to go through all 3000 pictures and delete things?

Macbook, Mini, and iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Try rebuilding your iPhoto library database > iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

Sounds like you imported one Library to another? Did you drop the Library icon onto the iPhoto icon for instance?

Restore from your back up is the simple and fast solution.
