trouble with iPhoto events - not showing pics

Hi. When I open an event in iPhoto, I just get a blank. As if there were no photos there.

However, when looking at ALL the events, and I scroll the mouse pointer over the event it does the "quick slide show" as I move the mouse over the principle photo.

Also, when looking at "all photos" (i.e., not in events) the pictures are there.

I figure there is a simple way to "rebuild" the database. How? where?

FYI: I also have Aperture installed. Does that affect it?

Have you done anything, were you dragging them to another folder or some such?
Importing into Aperture?
I sourced these
When I imported from IPhoto to Aperture did I create a duplicate library

Thanks. I actually ended up using Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

I tried the suggestions as posted on your links, but nothing worked. However, these lead me to iPhoto Library Manager. Thanks

Glad to see I could help a bit gregholl, for sure there is nothing more frustrating than the fear of losing all your precious pictures.
The Library manager looks good thanks for the tip on that.
