Q: Many black thumbnails iPhoto '11. What to do ?
iMac Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz with 4 GB RAM and OS 10.68. iPhoto has about 5% black thumbnails, most of which , but not all, disclose a picture upon clicking. Other than backing up the iPhoto Library and following this Apple tech note: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library - Apple Support is there anything to do ?
Would you agree that Options 1, 2, & 6 should be checked ?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

• 1. How to get this repaired Library extracted to the internal drive of the other computer ? Does one transfer the old AND repaired Library, or just transfer the repaired Library ?
Drag and drop? No, the rebuilt library is quite independent.
• 2. How to prove success ?
Look. It's the only way to be sure. But the log looks good.
• 3. The original Library listed 32,273 photos.in iPhoto. Now there are 41,960 photos. Is this success or duplications ? If duplicated, what is the best way to remove duplicates ?
It could be either. For instance, it might have recovered items you tried to delete but which the other library failed to erase, or there is a chance there might be dupes.
