My iPhoto is not working. I open it and it loads for about a minute and then it closes abruptly. I sent the report and tried to restart my Mac, but still have the problem. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro, iOS 6.1.2, It's a brand new computer. 2 weeks
Tell us more. So it is hard to guess what might begoing an.
I sent the report and tried to restart my Mac
What was the error message in the report? Post the first 50 lines of the crash log here, but not all of the report.
Regards

iPhoto Version is the latest I guess.
OS X 10.8.4
I opened the application and it starts loading my library, but it won't load my library. I also plugged in my iPad and it automatically opens iPhoto but the same problem.
iPhoto worked fine before. I do the updates whenever they appear.
My library is in my hard drive. Although I do use TIME MACHINE to back up everything. Should I try open iPhoto with the external hard drive plugged in?
then it closes abruptly. I sent the report
Start it once more and copy and paste the reort from the window that you see when the crash occurs here into your next answer - the first 50 or so lines.

That is a data error. You may have imported images that cannot be processed, your iPhoto Library may have a corruption, your preferences file may be broken, or more.
To check, f your library may have a problem, launch iPhoto while holding down the alt/options key and use the other/new option to craete a new iPhoto libray. does that work, and can you import photos into the new library?
It didn't work. It created a new library but I had the same problem.
Log into another user account and try importing into iPhoto there. Can you?
OT
i only have one user in my mac. If it's an update error, how do I get it back?
Use the "System Preferences" > "Users&Group" panel and add another user account.
Click the padlock icon, enter your admin password, then press the "+" or select the guest user account and enable it.
Then use the -menu to log off and log in as guest user. Launch iPhoto and test.
IS there any other way?
Having a second, non-administrative user account is an excellent tool for troubleshooting issues like this. Takes up very little space on the HD.
The test in another user account is to check, if you have a system wide problem or a problem in your user account.
So the test will help to decide what to do next.
How can this be a hardware problem? The computer works perfectly, iPhoto is the only problem.

Hardware trouble is one of the possible reasons for KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE - I did not say it is the only possibility. If a problem with your harddrive corrupted image files, you might see exactly that error.
iPhoto not working.
