try xmllint
Authored by: dmackler on Jul 16, '07 10:15:35AM

Yeah, I had this problem more than a year ago (shortly after iPhoto 6 came out). I also noticed that the list of photo albums was either missing or incomplete in iTunes' list of albums, but generally okay in iMovies.

Suspecting corruption, and after wasting many hours, I finally ran xmllint on iPhoto's AlbumData.xml. It turns out that somehow the control-D character was embedded in some album names. I cleaned it up manually with BBEdit and then all was well again.

I have no idea how that happened, or what inspired me to try that route (other than desperation), but things have been fine since.
