A possible fix for iPhoto 05 and .Mac page uploads
Authored by: jlundell on Apr 06, '05 12:14:47PM

I ran into this problem a couple of days ago, and browsed the Apple discussion for a fix. (I'm using 10.3.8 and iPhoto 5.0.1.) I tried two things, and the problem (downloading Themes forever) went away. Unfortunately, I did them both at once, so I'm not sure which one worked, but from the discussion I'm doubtful that it was the prefs.

The second fix was to go to System Preferences->International->Languages and uncheck everything but English (I had about a dozen checked; use the Edit button to change your list).

IIRC, a logout or restart is required.

When I went back to iPhoto to upload pix, at first I thought I had the same old problem. But this time the Theme-downloading terminated after a short wait, and all was hunky-dory.

There's no good reason why this should work, of course, except the catchall reason of some obscure bug.
