[Hidden-tech] iPhoto 11 - caution

[Jeff Rutherford]

Agreed Tom. However, I've read several blog posts and threads written by a range of people - non-technical to very techie.

It's obviously not happening to everyone, but it's enough of a problem to mention it so that people don't lose precious photos that they haven't backed up.

Here's one example. The guy is now into his 4th day of installation - http://garyfong1.xanga.com/

> definitely good to be wary & cautious ... and as always, you should read the system requirements and all that good stuff.... but also note that the other 3billion people (or whatever) who upgraded successfully did NOT post to a forum saying "yay, i upgraded successfully and everything is working perfectly!". i've noticed, over the years, that forums are filled with disgruntled folks who don't like to "read the manual"...
