Hi again, am I in the right place to ask this question. If not, please redirect me if you can. Since I upgraded to iPhoto 6, I can import photos one time out of four. iPhoto just don't want to the job. Spinning beachball and force quit! Sometimes it will but it's so erractic when it does that I cannot remember the conditions under which iPhoto 6 agreed to import at this particular time. Any clue? Thanks again Germain iMac G5 / 1.8 mhz / 768 RAM Tiger 10.4.2 français
