Hi James, First try deleting the 'com.apple.iPhoto.plist' in your Home / Library / Preferences - com.apple.iPhoto.plist If that doesn't fix iPhoto crashing. Try Rebuilding the iPhoto Library.

When rebuilding the iPhoto library it didn't crash until it had completed that process. I've also tried using iPhoto buddy to create 'new' empty libraries to see if it was something due to a large or corrupt library, but no luck there. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi James, Doesn't look like anyone does have any other ideas, or else they have been busy on other things like I have. OK, let's find out a couple of things first. You say you installed a few shareware apps around the time iPhoto started crashing, was any an 'Application Enhancer'? Also your HD had some problems that you say are now 'fixed' ? I would first get your MacBook Pro completely up to date. Update iPhoto to 6.0.6 http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iphoto606.html Download The Combo 10.4.9 update for your MacBook Pro install it. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html Check Software update again to make sure all security updates etc are installed. Repair Permissions again. Restart your MacBook Pro. Then if iPhoto 6.0.6 doesn't work. It might be that the library database file, Library6.iPhoto is corrupted, or a file is. If there is only one library folder in your Pictures folder and rebuilding it by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library didn't work. I think you'll have to start afresh with a new library and import the files from the Original folder in the old library. Here's how: Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original: 1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop. 2. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library. 3. Drag the 'Originals' folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window. NB. 'Make sure you have 'Copy Files to iPhoto Library Folder' ticked in Preferences Advanced'. This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title. Once this is completed and you are sure everything is working correctly in iPhoto you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Library folder.
