Hello,

I tried to download Picasa again after receiving an error message and it still won't open:

thumbs_index.db,CBlockFile=847,err=2,errno=17,oserr=17

I’m devastated... I’m on a Mac.

If anyone can help me...

    Hi there!

    Try the official Picasa website! And send them a little message!

    And you'll see what they will reply!

    Thank you, but I can't find the library file and the rest....

    I was in the process of importing photos from iPhoto, some were in a hidden "master" file and others directly in my images folder... I wanted to import the photos into Picasa and gradually remove the photos from iPhoto... I should have cleaned up first before importing into Picasa... ugh.... anyway, now it doesn't work anymore.... and I tried reinstalling and it's still not working....

      I uninstalled Picasa, re-downloaded it, and reinstalled it, and here is the message:

      Errors occurred while loading the Picasa database. Would you like to view the error log? yes-no

      And the rest is the message I included in my first message... I'm disheartened...

      Did you do a db3 search?

      Not on my Mac here, sorry I can't check and I forgot.

      According to my Google link, it is indeed a corrupted
      database problem
      on Windows, you have to uninstall by removing all preferences
      do you get this message on Mac asking you to keep preferences or not?

      If not, this db3 file represents the database and you absolutely need to delete it so that the new Picasa can rebuild a new one by re-indexing your folders, otherwise it will remain on your Mac and you will be able to reinstall infinitely without any changes
      do you have Onyx?
      maybe if Picasa is uninstalled, Onyx would remove the obsolete Picasa files
      MAC OSX and it is its major flaw in leaving a bit everywhere when uninstalling apps.

    Hello

    https://sites.google.com/site/picasaresources/faq#TOC-Error-Message:-CblockFile::openBlock-err-11-thumbs_0.db

    close Picasa
    open Finder
    go to your username>library
    then application support>google>picasa 3

    move the db3 file to the trash
    restart Picasa

    if it works you will need to re-index your photo folders to rebuild the database
