Your iPhoto libraries will all have the iPhoto icon. It will probably be called iPhoto Library. The new library you created will have whatever name you gave it. They will probably be located in your Pictures folder that is probably located in "Places" on the left side of your finder window.

If you have put it somewhere else accidentally, look for the iPhoto icon through FINDER. Don't look with spotlight, because I just tried it --and I see where you are finding all those other types of files. Do not try to open them.

One thing-- if you have several iPhoto libraries, you can't open the one you want by just clicking on it. You have to hold the "option" key when you open iPhoto and then select the library you want. OTHERWISE, iPhoto will just open whatever library you opened last.

Post again to let me know if this worked.
Thank you for the detailed response and understanding about the PANIC!. The option click i photo did allow me to select my i photo library and all was found. Too bad i photo doesn't just let us create another library altogether..then we could have one for photos and one for the digi supplies.

Your detailed directions were great! Now I don't have to buy another piece of software for organizing..more to spend on the digi stuff.
