i did something on the iphoto library and now i can´t edit my photos, drag them to the photo spaces in idvd, comiclife, etc.

i’m new in MAC, can you help me?

What did you do to iPhoto? Have you tried restarting your Mac? Did you move your iPhoto files? What version of iPhoto is on your Mac? What Mac do you have and what version of Mac OS X?  BTW - it’s spelled… “Mac” not “MAC.”

i have the Macbook pro core 2 duo 2,16.
i don’t know version of the software but my Mac (BTW - thank you) is only 2 weeks old…

At this point it’s really hard to say what you did or what went wrong. Start with preferences.

In your home folder/directory there’s a folder called /Library. Inside that is one called /Preferences. Find the file “com.apple.iPhoto.plist” and drag it to your Desktop. Restart your Mac, then start iPhoto and try to edit a photo.

I don’t have that file (“com.apple.iPhoto.plist”) in my preferences folder
could that be the problem? I didn’t erase it!

If you ran iPhoto, then the file is in the Preferences folder. Remember, the Mac has two Preference folders. One for system, and one for user. Check the one in your user directory.

If your Mac is still that new, I think you’re covered under phone support still. Give Apple a call and have a rep talk you through everything. Since you’re new to this, it might be something really simple you’re not aware of. Take advantage of the phone support while you have it!

I’m from Portugal, we don’t have a call service like in the US, but I can say that the tip of draging the file (“com.apple.iPhoto.plist”) from my user folder didn’t worked.
This problem just afect some of my photos, I think i’ll erase the roll’s with the problem and import again the photos… But I wanted to know what I did wrong…
