[iMac] Question about iPhoto

[Tim Collier]

Here's a shot in the dark.  I've found with problems on any Mac  
running OS X (and this suggestion comes from Apple Tech support) is  
restarting with extensions off (Hold down the shift key while  
starting)...then reboot.  It repairs a load of problems.
Also, 512 is like the bare minimum to operate with.  I run my G5  
desktop with 4 gig of RAM and everything runs fine.  It shouldn't be  
a problem that you don't have the latest version of iPhoto but it  
sure helps!  Upgrading to iLife '06 is well worth the $79  
investment.  Also upgrading to Tiger is a good idea.  10.3 used to  
boot up in about 45 seconds from BONG to desktop....Tiger takes about  
25-30 seconds.
Updating your software is always a good idea.  Maxing out the RAM on  
you Mac is too!
