Has anyone had this problem with iPhoto? Certain transitions are missing in my iPhoto 5 at work. I don't have the cube transition but I do have the droplet. I am running a 733 G4 Mac Tower with 512 MB of RAM. My computer can do the cube effect on user changes, why not on iPhoto? The video card is a GeForce2 MX with 32 MB of vram.
Thanks for any help!


Edit - I forgot to add, I am using iPhoto 5.01

Have you looked inside the iPhoto application to see if the transition is there. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, some of the files will have their ownership or preferences reset to that you don't have access to them. That has happened before with various files in iPhoto.

Control-click on iPhoto and select Show Package Contents in the Contextual menu. Then delve down till you find the Plugins folder. Then look for the CubeTransition.IAPlugin folder. If it's there open it and look for any item that has a red circle with a "-" in it associated with it. If you find one, bring up the Info window for it and reset the ownership and preferences so you have read and write, the owner (system) and group (admin) have read and write.

If it's not there you'll have to reinstall iPhoto 5 or bring in a copy from your home computer.

Don't some of the transitions require certain graphics cards?

My GeForce 4Ti in my Dual G4 cannot do some of the transitions my 1.5 PowerBook can.

I was thinking that too, but I work at a school and in the computer lab, we have an 800MHz eMac, not sure what card was in that one and that has all of the transitions.

Thanks so far for your help everyone. I am off until Friday, so I can't open the package and check on it until then Old Toad, but I will check that ASAP on Friday. Thanks for the suggestion.
