Hi Matt, Is your Mac completely uptodate, have you installed updates when Apple notified to update?
Anyway - So iPhoto opens now after Rebuilding the Library; but iPhoto crashes when you open the Info panel? It seems to be problem with the Google maps that are no longer supported. 1. Go to /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources 2. Delete the files ' googlemap.html ' and ‘googlesearch.html' Removing the two files ' googlemap.html ' and googlesearch.html from iPhoto's application bundle prevents the javascript inside from being executed and causing the crash. To access the files inside the iPhoto application select it in the Finder and Control-Click it. Then use the command "Show Package Contents" from the menu. Open the subfolder Contents, then Resources. Scroll down to find the files. NOTE: Don't try this fix without making a copy of the iPhoto application before you try to remove the two files from the application bundle. It’s just safer to have a copy of the application before digging around inside the application; just as a precaution, in case you accidentally delete the wrong files.
