Well this means tha you don't need to reinstall the application. The previous lubrary is damaged.

 

Option 1

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

 

If that fails:

 

Option 2

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)

 

 

This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

 

 

Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 

Regards

    Unfortunately, the normally excellent iPhoto Library Manager doesn't seem to have been updated to cope with iPhoto 9.4.2 yet - when I tried to rebuild the database using it, it failed to recongise a single one of my images - which are either Canon Raw or JPEG and threw up an error message for every single event.

     

    I'm just trying to rebuild the database from inside iPhoto now

     

    I am getting fed up of Apple publishing 'updates' which haven't been properly tested and which cause more problems than they solve. Seems to be a pattern over the last year or so.

    Exact same problem here (same SIGBUS crashlog) . Cmd-Opt open also doesn't work, as iPhoto crashes *before* giving the various rebuild options.

     

    When I get home tonight, I'm going to remove & reinstall 9.4.2. See if that works. I'm not hopeful, based on several forum entries.

     

    After that, if it doesn't fix it, I'll try downgrading to 9.4.1 -- SrgBrazil in this post (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4481497?start=0&tstart=0) seems to indicate that that fixed it for him/her.

     

    9.4.1: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1598

    9.4.2: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608

     

    I'll report back tomorrow.

     

    Tip: avoid 9.4.2 for now :-)

    I haven't figured out how to completely reinstall iPhoto yet (in the Mac App Store, it's listed as £10.49, which I don't want to pay to reinstall something I already had?!), or how to downgrade to 9.4.1.

     

    Please help!!

    Update: turns out my iPhoto crashing was just the first symptom of a failing hdd. Eventually everything started failing, and had to get my hdd replaced. Apple did so without charge even though I'm outside my 1 year warrantee. They also replaced my iMac's screen as it had some ghosting issues -- again, without charge. Excellent service. I then timemachine'd my backup back, and am fully up & running again.
