This meant that the incon in iPhoto wasn't actually going anywhere. So I deleted the thumbnail in iPhoto as well. I now filled the trashbin with a corrupt file which I couldn't get rid of. Every other photo I deleted, meant that the original phote got deleted, but that the thumbnail would get stuck in the trashbin. Stuck with the original corrupt file. So to answer your question; it started with the weak link (the user/me) led to a problem with the library. The app wasn't actually broken, however it did point to a none existing file. I reinstalled the app, erasing all records of the corrupt thumbnail and reimported all photo's. I cannot stress enough what a tedious job that was. Suffice it to say, everything works and all photo have been reimported. I think the pbroblem was that I had deleted some photo’s from the actual folder.

Didn't just reinstalling iPhoto work? Or was it both a problem in the Photo library and the iPhoto app? BTW: I think I/Apple fixed my icon problem. Haven't had the issue in weeks.

I can't move the images(or lack thereof) from the iPhoto Trashbin. I can only put them back into the iPhoto library, but that won't do me any good, cause the picture they were linked to has been deleted (remember it's only the link that remains.) Thank you!

If so, you could try to then remove the files using the Terminal (using the rm command). Ok, last idea: can you drag the photos OUT of your trash bin and to the desktop or somewhere else.

You will have to boot from your Mac OS X install disk, launch the same utility there (Disk Utility) and THEN do a repair. Ahh, that is true because you try to repair your boot disk.

The program reports this: Disk Utility stopped verifying “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit. It also says in red: 1 HFS volume checked Volume needs repair So my question to you Cristiano is: How do I repair this disk? Clicking 'Rapair Disk' is not an option, simply because the progranm won't allow it. So I’ve used Disk Utility and have tried to verify the disk.

And I have no idea how to do that, but tomorrow after my morning run I'll look it up. I'll let you know how that works out, that is if I can find out what I need to do to do that.

My Mac Whine has to do with iPhoto. Everytime I delete a photo, which I do regularly, it'll show up in the trashbin. So far no problem, however when I delete the contents of my trashbin the actual photo get deleted from the harddrive wheareas the link in the trashbin doesn't get deleted. My iPhoto trashbin is now filled with photo-links I can't delete. When I try to empty the trashbin filled with links, iPhoto crashes and upon restarting iPhoto my entire thumbnail cache needs to be redone and none of the previous trashbin-links have been removed.

It only showed itself since a recent update. Most of the time it can be solve by connecting the power adapter and then disconnecting. Ah, I know that problem.

Right now my macbook pro says "No batteries available" whilst it's not pluged in to the mains! Works ok though, apart from the gpu fan having failed.
