And why it won't work on my iBook G4 14" 1.42Ghz. or my Power Mac G4 1.25Ghz. DP. I thought it might have been something with the fact I was using the FireWire iSight camera.

I think I renamed them directly in their folders, via the Finder. That caused broken "links" to the full size photos. I renamed the files back to their original file names (in their folders via the Mac's Finder interface again, not iPhoto). Then iPhoto was able to show the full pics again, not the exclamation point. One way to access the folders where the original files are, is to right-click on the thumbnail of a photo and choose "Show File." Be careful what you do then... renaming, rearranging, etc. -- Ed I had renamed some image files… but I think I didn’t use the iPhoto interface.

Lots of my photos cannot be seen in "full screen". iPhoto just shows either a black screen or the "something is seriously wrong" exclamation mark.

I scanned 5 pages into PDF files and would like to merge them into one PDF file. I've wasted lots of time trying to do something that previously was very easy. Still having figured this one out!

I could use revert to original but it may be a task i had to pass onto my children given i have over 2000 missing pictures. Is there not a way of asking iphoto to intelligently fix the links as I know where all of the original files are I just dont want to reinstate all of the duplicates ? hi im having this problem with multiple files since i have used find duplicate files on my iphoto library, basically i had many duplicates and FDF did a good job of finding them and removing them, unfortunately it has left me with lots of thumbnails that show the dreaded ! mark when i try and actually show the picture full screen.
