    Hello all,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out, or point me in the right direction.

    Here's my set up:
    I have a G5 with an external drive where my iPhoto library lives. I have a bunch of albums checked for "sharing" which I access from my G4 powerbook on my little network.

    Problem:
    Everything was working fine when I was using iPhoto5 and then I upgraded my powerbook to iPhoto 6 and everything was still cool even though I was still using iPhoto 5 on my G5.
    I just installed iPhoto 6 on the G5 (where the entire library is)and now only a handful of photos will load when accessing from my powerbook?
    All I see is the little grey-dashed line of where the image should be, but they never load, it's like it just hangs there...

    I'm stumped, and have no clue what happened, I do know that it rebuilds all the thumbs, etc.. but I haven't changed anything else.

    I hope I'm making sense here, and that maybe someone has a clue?

    Thanks for reading.. 'preciate it.

    maybe it's rebuilding a local thumbnail cache or something? i sometimes see those gray lines for a while when i'm viewing huge directories over the network, it takes a while for all the thumbs to populate.

    yea, i let it chill for quite a while,
    thinking that they would eventually populate, but no such luck...
