Unable to open iPhoto 9.4.1 after update

Hello,



Since I updated iPhoto on my computer (version: Mac OS X 10.7.5), I am unable to open iPhoto. It crashes each time I try.

The same happens with Aperture ...

In consequence, I can't access my pictures :-(

What should I do?


Thanks for your help.

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

See if you can do this with your problem library: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:


Fix #1


Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.


User uploaded file


Select Option #1.


If you can bet the library opened to this wildow you may have a good chance of getting the permissions set correctly
