when recovering iPhoto library, OS X lion has an error "not enough space in cache" or similar
I have an intel core 2 duo mac late 2007, recently upgraded from snow leopard to Lion 10.7. After a clean install, I tried importing the iPhoto library from the external backup drive that I have, everything seemed fine until the import quit with an error message "could not import iPhoto library due to not enough cache memory" or similar.
The library is 30gb and I have spare space 105gb on my hard drive.
How can I fix this - your help is much appreciated.
MacBook Pro (17-inch Core 2 Duo), iOS 7.1.2, year 2007
