I haven't posted for a few days - I haven't wanted to go near my computer. I have deleted my whole iPhoto library. No-one told me that it was kept in the Pictures folder!!!
My computer has been telling me for ages that the startup disk is full, so I decided to delete some pictures and documents I had scanned and no longer need. I trolled through the folder and thought they all had jpg on the end, not noticing a little icon that said iPhoto library.
I think I can retrieve it from a backup, from a few weeks ago because the backup has not been going well either, but I still can't open all the pictures, so I think I may have to delete other stuff - I hope that is the problem.
I haven't been game to try it yet, will need hours to go through it properly and make sure I don't delete other important stuff! If that doesn't work, I'll have to get professional help. More time and money wasted. But worth it if I get my photos back.
Musings about various textile techniques I dabble with. And other stuff. A bit of a visual diary actually.

It's so hard when this sort of work takes hours.
Been there myself, but since, I am keeping a fortnightly appointment with PC and back-up disks :-)
Wishing you that all will go well and you won't loose your pictures!
Fingers crossed!!
Thanks Vera, I still haven't done much about it. I have CAREFULLY deleted some folders but the pictures still don't show, so I will try again tomorrow, give it some hours, and hope for the best.
Starting this weekend, burn all your photos to dvd. Or maybe each month.
Parlance, I had hope that I could fix it myself but it looks like I will have to pay money to have it fixed, and no guarantee that it WILL be fixed. I bought a 500gigabyte removable disk today. I am going to put all my images on it.
