When I try to drag a photo to the desktop I get a circle with a line thru it. If I try to copy and paste the photo I get a Finder window saying the photo doesn’t exist. If I try to edit the picture I get a triangle with an explanation mark inside it. The photo is their but it’s not. I rebuilt the thumbnails but I’m not sure where to go after that accept to search thru Time Machine for a stable iPhoto folder. Any ideas?

Not able to drag certain pictures to desktop from iPhoto

Hard to say without looking at it. Are you sure that something hasn't happened to your iPhoto collection -- the photos are missing or corrupt? What happens when you try to export a photo with File, Export?
The picture is there and I can see it but when I try to export to the desktop it says: "unable to create/user/wallacet/desktop/009.jpg". It's not all photos but certain folders that I have a problem with.
Perhaps a user permissions issue. Are you logged in as user "wallacet"? Are you an admin? What happens when you try to File, Export? Maybe to somewhere else like your Documents folder?
