Another case: iPhoto crashes on importing photos from my iPhone

I have a problem that others have had: iPhoto (9.2.3) invariably crashes on any attempt to import photos from an IPhone. This has been true for a long time (months?). Only recently have I looked at the web for solutions, and read various Apple discussion threads (I am new here).

iPhoto: version 9.2.3 (629.52)

OS X: 10.6.8 (so it can’t be blamed on Lion!)

Unfortunately, I was not able to solve the problem based on what I learned. Things I have done that have not helped:

1) Deleted com.apple.iPhoto.plist

2) Created a brand new iPhoto library

3) Created a new account and tried importing there

4) Removed color profiles from /Library/Adobe/Color/Profiles

that ColorSync Utility doesn’t like

5) Looked for a 3ivx folder to delete (have no such folder)

Below are the first 50 or so lines of the most recent crash report.

Thanks in advance for any help! I am tiring of having to email every photo to myself (especially as I am currently on an island with only tethered cellular access).

What does "ColorSync Utility doesn’t like" mean?

Seeing that "ColorSync" reference in the Crash Report, I ran the ColorSync Utility (in my utilities folder), and there were about 15 color sync profiles that the "verify" button reported as problematic. So I hit "repair", and it repaired about 11 of them (not sure of the exact numbers), but there were 4 (I do remember this number) that "could not be repaired". They were all in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/ So I simply trashed them and emptied the trash. Sorry I didn't keep the names, but I believe they all had ".icc" extensions, and one might have had "RedBlue" or something in its name.

Anyway, now when I run "verify" in the ColorSync Utility, I get the following:

Searching for profiles...

Checking 115 profiles...

Verify done - no problems found.

But iPhoto still crashes, with ColorSync mentioned as you saw. In case it is of any use, below are the first 50 or so lines of this morning's crash report (let me know if you need the whole report).

Thanks for your help

Brian
