A possible fix for iPhoto 05 and .Mac page uploads

Since updating to iLife 05, I have not been able to upload to my .Mac Homepage. iPhoto is unable to download its new themes, so the Themes dialog fails to open properly, text is scrambled, selected photos do not show, and buttons are grayed out so you cannot go any further. There is a discussion about this on the Apple Discussions site. In this discussion is a solution that worked for me: running iPhoto as a new user.

After creating a new user and logging in as the new user, run iPhoto, go to "Share/Homepage" or hit the Homepage icon, and the new themes will download. You do not have to go on to publish, but iPhoto will be fixed. Go back to your original user account, and all will be well.

[robg adds: In browsing the linked discussion, there are a number of people reporting this problem, and a number of suggested solutions. If you're having trouble posting iPhotos to your .Mac homepage, it's worth a read (and there are a couple of other linked discussions from that one which may have further ideas). I don't use iPhoto to publish to .Mac, so I can't verify the problem or the solution.]
