MORPHER  My MacBook on OS X.6.2 started behaving oddly. Some programs (Eudora, Personal Organizer, Mike's Cards Lite) started to be flakey. Boot and shutdown times were getting longer. Then I installed the updates for iTunes (which I almost never use, but I like to keep the versions up to date) and something else (forgotten what it was, but it was in Software Update), and I was in serious trouble. Eudora crashing, Personal Organizer wouldn't launch, EarthDesk wouldn't launch, Mike's Cards was taking seconds to move a card, after launching at a stagger. Booting up took forever, shutdown took minutes.

Many runs of Disk Utility made no difference.

I ran Maintenance 1.2.5 which told me that I had entered an incorrect password (I hadn't) but when I clicked on "Execute" it worked. I ran the default maintenance. Then I shut down for a few minutes, and rebooted.

Hallelujah, babe! I was up and running again with all systems GO~!!!

I've just upgraded to Maintenance 1.2.6.  
(Version 1.2.6)

MORPHER  I have used iPhoto Buddy for several years now (currently running on X.4.11 with iPhoto 6.0.6) as a professional tool. It provides a facility which I am astonished iPhoto does not provide -- it allows you to have multiple photo libraries. I have just counted -- I have 49 covering different places, different activities and different interests. Plus the family one, of course, which makes a round 50!

iPhoto Buddy allows me to set up a library quickly and easily, then to access it in moments.

I wouldn't be without it. And since I need it, I have shown its creator my appreciation by donating. I urge you to try this neat program and support it too.
