| iPhoto broken after iLife '06 install. Permissions? So I just upgraded to iLife '06. Everything seems to work fine except iPhoto. It loads up, says I have to upgrade the library and then eventually gives me an error message saying that I need to have read/write permissions for everything in the iPhoto Library and gives me some instructions on how to do that. The problem is that, near as I can figure, I DO have the right permissions. My setup is a tad odd. The iPhoto library in /home/Pictures is a symlink to a network share. My actual library data and pictures are on my old G4 tower. I do this with my iTunes music files and with my photos. Prior to this it had not been a problem. Anyone with any good ideas on how to solve this? Oh, and I tried this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303135 and it didn't fix it. Thanks.

| Howabout temporarily moving the iPhoto Library back to your home folder on the boot drive, letting iPhoto update the database, then move it back and re-symlink?

| Great idea. I did that and then did Apple's suggestion. When I had tried it on the mounted drive it said I didn't have authority to change some of the files, but locally I could with an admin password. I copied everything back over to the network drive and it all seems to work as it did before the upgrade. Thanks.
