Hi Marcus, Great to hear your OS X 10.8.4 system and iPhoto is all working as it should. I would also suggest you "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
That's perfectly fine to inform the discussion thread of what fixed your problems. Combo Updates update the base version of the Mac OS X release to the version specified in the Combo Update, including all intermediate updates. for example, the Mac OS X 10.8.4 Combo Update updates any earlier version of Mac OS X 10.8 to OS X 10.8.4 using a single installer, as opposed to installing the individual Mac OS X 10.8.1, 10.8.2, 10.8.3 updates. Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted. Combo updates will install on the same version as they're applying--- no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you have a bad 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Update on the system. I always recommend going to the Apple downloads site and manually downloading the Combo system upgrades; that is the only way to be sure that everything that needs to be in place is in place. Also it's a good idea to: 1. Repair Permissions before any Apple update 2. Restart after running the update 3. Run Repair Permissions again.
