Q: Can't import AVCHD into iPhoto after upgrade
I created a new iPhoto library after doing the upgrade and tried all the suggested methods for importing my avchd folders and it didn't work! Am I missing something? The quicker they dump avchd the better!

I have now discovered that, in my case at least, iPhoto 9.3 does not import all AVCHD formats, so I suggest you check what type of AVCHD you are trying to import.
iPhoto 9.3 import works for AVCHD Lite (720p) and AVCHD (1080i), but not for AVCVHD Progressive (1080p), which is what I was trying to import.
I informed Apple yesterday at iphoto_feedback@group.apple.com, (who had responded promptly to my original report of this problem), and asked them to clarify this in their website, in iPhoto 9.3 and in all relevant documents, until such time as Apple supports the full 1080p AVCHD.
