My wife has spent weeks creating a picture book in iphoto 09. Now when she opens iPhoto and selects the picture book under keepsake it spends hours attempting to load the picture book.
We have rebuilt the library using the 'alt /command' option. It does not seem to help. Any suggestions??
We have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.

Is your Mac running out of disk space? If you have only a few GB left of free space, try to free some space and try again.
As a test - create a new photo book in the same iPhoto library. If that succeeds, the book has probably become corrupted by the last edits.
Then I'd restore the iphoto library from the last backup, before the problem first occurred.
Leonie,
Thank you for your prompt responce. I was able to make another test photo album. So I guess this means I do not have a space issue.
Would you reccomend that I back up the iphoto library from Time Machine.? It is presently about 2.2 GB we have about 8000 items. Does this sound like it might be too much?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
So you are able to create new books? Then there is nothing essentially wrong with iPhoto.
Have you tried all four repair/rebuild options? Then there are no known fixes to repair a corrupted book.
Would you reccomend that I back up the iphoto library from Time Machine.?
Go back in time in Time Machine to a time, when the book worked well and restore the library.
Restore the complete iPhoto Library as described in the support document below:
