Somehow my window for iPhoto is stuck in the upper right hand corner of my screen. I am unable to move it any of the normal ways because all the parts to "grab" on to are hidden off my screen. I have been searching for a week how to fix this and can't. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try quitting iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preferences, then open iPhoto again.

Forget about the preferences. This is very simple. Open iPhoto, then select Zoom from the Window menu.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't have a zoom option, just minimize, which puts it on the dock. I have version 1.0.

Open iPhoto. Go to your System Preferences > Display pane. Change the resolution, then change it back again. This should make the window server move the window back into a valid position.

All that does is make everything bigger or smaller, but keeps the iPhoto window up in the right hand corner still with no change.

Well, then quit iPhoto and delete its preferences. They are in ~/Library/Preferences (with ~ being your home folder) and are called com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
