Mac OS X
Q: Slideshow feature suddenly failed on iPhoto 8.1.2
Clicking the slideshow arrow generates a gray screen, a brief flash, and a return to the Library window. This affects all my Libraries, including those on external drives. My failed attempts to fix include:
- Removing iPhoto pref files.
- Removing all iPhoto files from the Library folder.
- Restarting.
- Switching to a different user.
- Reinstalling iPhoto.
This appears to be a problem with either a resource iPhoto needs for slideshows, an interfering file, or perhaps a permissions problem (something that has plagued me for years). Of course, the Great Gremlin God could have taken a dislike to me.
Any ideas? I really don't want to reinstall the OS to fix this.
