Q: Iphoto problems

I am using Mac OS 10.5.5      My iPhoto is version 9.5.1       My problem is I am losing pictures to the triangle with an exclamation in it.  I clicked on one yesterday and as I clicked on it, it turned into the triangle with an exclamation point.


I have tried to rebuild iPhoto as I was directed when I googled the problem .  Didn't work


I tried clicking on picture and then going to photos and going down  to "revert to original" but that is grayed out

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6

    As we can't know what Google turned up, be sure you have tried the Apple article way, and let us know > iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library - Apple Support - Last modified ±March 13, 2015 - ÇÇÇ

    Can you check and post back which Mac OS you are using?  10.5.5 was Leopard several years ago and a recent version of iPhoto would not work on it.


    Did you update the OS recently?

    Did you mean OS X 10.9.5? iPhoto 9.5.1 will not operate at all on OS X 10.5.5

     

    If the rebuild did not help then the most likely cause is suer action - either deleting the originals form the iphoto library or using Cleanup software like CleanMyMac2 or MacKeeper - do NOT - the Mac does not need cleaning up - it takes care of that it's self - and cleanup programs often damage libraries giving the symptoms you are seeing

     

    If you have done these then the only solution is to restore the backup fro before the originals were deleted
