Hi I have a problem iPhoto will not open for very long. I am using OS 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3. and I have Aperture 3.4.5
Initially, iPhoto when I tried to open it would not work at all. It would start to run and I would get an "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" note with three options, Ignore, Report and Reopen. I tried them all, could not make head nor tail out of the report and the Reopen just repeated the cycle. I thought I would try opening the library in Aperture as it is link to both. I ran Aperture and it said something like as the library keeps crashing you should try one of these three options. I think the first one was repair the permissions, the second one was repair the library and I am not sure what the third one was but it involved a more robust option. I chose the second option and Aperture rebuilt the library and it opened up. All of the info that I had typed onto individual photos in iPhoto was there as were the albums , etc. So I thought I would push the envelope as I already had a back up of the iPhoto library. I closed Aperture and tried to open iPhoto. This time it opened and stayed on the last page that I had displayed in Aperture for about 10 secs before shutting down and the "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" message came up. I tried Reopen and the "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" came up immediately. I went back to Aperture and that opened straight away, everything the same as before. I have two questions: - Should I do a back up know? As it appears I have a working library thanks to Aperture. (In the meantime I am keeping it open just in case) - What should I do to try and get iPhoto to work with what it obviously a working library?
