Its not a MAC issue because more than half of us are on MAC's and we don't have this problem.
Check the size of the actual pic, if its to big reduce it. if you tried several time on a particular pic, then rename it. Or take it out from iphoto and just place it on your desk top.

you have to take off the bumper to get them out but its pretty easy a couple bolts under the fender lining....i used just normal black silicone...there are little clips that clamp the headlights together so when i re-applied the silicone i just clamped it back together and it sealed
