Nov 18, 2015 5:19 PM in response to Huxly647by mkmouse,This did work for me. I don't use places so it was fine for me to get rid of those. Especially since with them I cannot use iPhoto which is much worse than not having places.
Thanks Huxly647.

Nov 18, 2015 5:46 PM in response to carvermonby mkmouse,I could yes. Was just working at added faces to a bunch of photos using the "info" tab. Worked for about 20 min. BUT then it did just quit on me again!

Nov 18, 2015 6:07 PM in response to Old Toadby ladarlene,I'm also one of the early reporters to note this problem (crashing when trying to access Info). Unfortunately, I just tried to locate the iPhoto plist and also the containers folder as you suggested, but neither were evident as per your instructions. I found the preferences, but no iPhoto. I'm also running iPhoto 9.4.3 on Mt Lion 10.8.5. I did try rebuilding iPhoto, and recovered a number of images, also rebuilt (?) the thumbnails, to no avail.

I needed help finding the hidden files.
Amazing how Google is everywhere and into everything.

Nov 18, 2015 10:01 PM in response to Terence Devlinby Eric Krauter,My experience with this fix:
- After creating a new, blank library and importing a batch of 160 pictures, iPhoto did not shut down
- I then switched to my current library, and iPhoto shut down unexpectedly again
- I then quit iPhoto, relaunched with the option key down, and chose an old library. iPhoto warned that the library needed to be updated, so I chose cancel
- I then quit and relaunched iPhoto, chose my current library (NOT the new blank one I created for testing), and it seems to be stable again.
- I have no idea if choosing and then canceling the old library had any effect on this, but I documented all of my actions just in case
OS: 10.8.5
iPhoto: 9.4.3
As a side note, before I tried this fix, I attempted to fix the issue by trashing my install of iPhoto and reinstalling from my Purchased items. That did not solve the problem.

Nov 18, 2015 10:12 PM in response to Eric Krauterby Eric Krauter,I also just noticed that when I open the Info sidebar, the Places module says "(Places lookup disabled)". I've never used Places anyway, so it doesn't affect me. I'm just glad to have iPhoto working again.

Nov 18, 2015 10:21 PM in response to Eric Krauterby Eric Krauter,Whoops! Spoke too soon. iPhoto crashed again when I reopened after it was open for about 20 minutes. Someone else upthread mentioned the same behavior. I saved the crash report, and I can copy it here if anyone wants to see it. I suspect it will be the same as the others already posted.

Nov 18, 2015 10:36 PM in response to Eric Krauterby carvermon,Mine shows that message a good percentage of the time, and it has for years. It's certainly not the first time an Apple alert has told me a lie - but I have wondered why it says that (I never use Places).

Nov 18, 2015 10:52 PM in response to carvermonby Terence Devlin,It says it because older version of iPhoto used Google Maps for places look up. That licence expired a few years ago and no iPhoto uses Apple Maps for the job. Older version require an update to use the Faces feature.
