Question

When viewing event in iPhoto, photo I see seems to be covering up photo I see when I select to view photo

This problem only affects most recently downloaded photos from camera card.

Should I just try to download again under new event name?

iPhone 4S

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:

what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?

what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

iPhoto 9.5.1

OS X 10.9.5

Haven't tried any fixes.

Not sure about "location" or type of library.

Can't post screen shot. Just know that about 5 to 8 photos appear multiple times when I view the "event". Then when I click on one of them, other photos appear that I don't see in the "event" view.

Can't recall if I updated some software before downloading pics. Don't think so. Actually, downloaded pics from 2 different cards on same day. The problem does not affect the other set of photos.

I have an iMac. Space shouldn't be a problem, but how do I confirm?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

The same here in this discussion: Re: iPhoto library manager

Whenever I visit that thread I am signed out immediately and cannot post anything, while TD can.

My post had in the last line. I'll changed it to apply and well see:

Do the following:

1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.

2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Volia! You nailed it dead center. Guess I'll just have to slow down and "walk, don't ***" from now on.
