Re:What if IPhoto's not available? - 2006/05/10 01:52
Some users have found the following useful:
iPhoto 6 doesn't seem to like keywords, that worked fine in iPhoto 5.
I got this solution from this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1890766
Have a read of the above thread - you might find it useful.
"The solution to all my problems seems to be the keywords.
It seems that the pictures that I was importing into iPhoto that already had keywords (in my case, my sister in law edits everything in windows photoshop album, sends me the pictures, and after I import them, I somehow generate all kinds of new keywords in iPhoto such as: printed, edited, saved, kids 3rd bday party etc.
Before I started figuring this thing out, I had no idea that some of the images
I had in my library had been imported with keywords.
The fix:
I went to the iPhoto preferences menu, changed the keyword match from all to any, deleted any keyword that wasn't **favorite, family, kids, vacation, birthday ** these are the default iPhoto keywords, but you can delete them all.
I then dragged all my photos into the reset tab/button while the keyword menu was expanded (that's the little key icon on the bottom left of iPhoto)
This will strip any keywords assigned to images - handy during a new import.
So far, I have been able to import my entire library, including the PSD and GIF files, and have complete use of the media browser with the other iLife apps." by MTR300
I would only try this solution, if only other iLife apps are not picking up the iPhoto library.
Please remember to make sure you make a backup of your pictures directory. I would hate for anyone to loose all their images.
Hope this helps.
