    IPhoto 9.5.1. The pin got there by accidently clicking the map. As it says I want to remove Pin/Place assigned to this particular photo. Clicking on pin and then clicking on x is not removing it as it should. as it is described in help as below,

    Remove a location name from one or more photos or events

    1. Select one or more photos or events that include location information.The location doesn’t have to be the same for all photos or events selected.
    2. Click the Info button in the toolbar to open the Information pane.
    3. Select the location name in the Places pane.If there’s more than one location, the name says “Multiple locations.”
    4. Click the X that appears to the right of the name.The location name disappears and the location is removed from the photo or event.

    Do you  see this black banner, when you open the Info panel for a photo?

    It should appear, when you click the foot of the pin.  The x should clear the lace. How far do you get, when you try this?
