I was manually backing up my iPhoto collection to CD-Rs the other day. My iPhoto library was larger than one CD, so I took some of the folders out of the library. Unfortunately, I then opened up iPhoto. Since the photos weren't in the right spot, iPhoto must have deleted the references to them from its internal database.

Anyway, I still have the "2002" folder (which contains all the pictures) intact, but I think maybe the Library.data file or Dir.data file needs to be rebuilt.

Has anyone had any luck fixing a problem like this? Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have ~700 photos in this album that I really don't want to have to manually go through and edit all over again...

I ended up copying all of the jpgs (not the thumbnails or the "originals") into a seperate folder, and then importing that folder into a new iPhoto library. I lost some of the few captions I had, and don't have any of the "originals", but at least I can browse my photos again...

Let's hope the new iPhoto has a better way
