Iphoto Help

When in iPhoto when you try to open the Help - it just closes immediately. Another user has had this problem but there was no answers. It seems that everyone else is having a problem with iPhoto disappearing. Thank goodness my iPhoto is there - but I cannot get to the Help menu without it closing. Does anyone have an answer?

Try quitting iPhoto and deleting your iPhoto preferences ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) when you launch iPhoto again a fresh new preference file will be created - reset any personal peferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library from its default location repoint to it

Not sure where this comes form - but it is grossly inaccurate - iPhoto certainly is not disappearing - anywhere except people who do erase and installs and fail to reinstall iPhoto or people who drag the application to the trash - I do not recall a single post re iPhoto disappearing other than a few user errors as noted

I finally found the iphoto preference file! Deleted it - but no it didn't work.

Also in my post at first - when I said that others were having trouble with their "iPhoto disappearing" - it was merely a bad choice of words - I meant many were having trouble in one way or another with Iphoto "gone" and you said it was grossly inaccurate - but there are posts that say "iPhoto empty" - "I can't find my iPhoto anywhere" - "iPhoto and Library...all gone". I just meant that they all had photos being "gone" trouble - my photos are all there - I just can open the Help part - it opens but immediately closes - all else works fine. Yes apparently all from user error - that is why we are here. Sorry if I made a wrong statement.
