This issue has survived several updates and rebuilding, moving of the library, etc. When applying keywords I can apply a keyword to one image but the second (or next) image application crashes the app. I have edited the keywords and removed similar keywords, punctuation, spaces, etc. Corrupt iPhoto file? database?
Thanks!

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

New library seems to work, I added 12 pictures and Im tagging away with no crashing...
So I need to recreate my library and retag/rerate everything? That is a metric butt ton of work. I was hopeing it could be a corrupt file or something I can replace
No. That was just a test as it said in bold type. Now that we know the problem lies in the old library we need to try to fix it. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
OT
still blows up on keyword entry. here is a screen recording:

after running 4, then 1, then testing. AFter crashing, I ran them all again, same issue..

Then
Download iPhoto Library Managerand use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
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.
Sadly it doesnt work. When I attempt to rebuild, the application restarts iPhoto, then iPhoto gives a warning dialog "iPhoto needs to upgrade your library" and regardless of whether I say, quit or continue, iPhoto Library Manager crashes. Is there some other way of rebuilding? Can it be a corrupt keywords file?
Can you attach a copy of the crash log that shows up after thecrash? There might be some clues as to what is happening.
Just include the first 50 lines of the crash report.

This problem popped up on my just today. Has there been any more insight into how to solve it?
Have you tried the fix solutions suggested earlier in this topic? If so which ones and what were the results? If not the do so and report the results.
Thank you, Old Toad, for asking!
I tried creating a new library, which did not have the sample problem.
Thus, I continued with your recommendations (starting iPhoto First Aid and rebuilding the library). That did not solve the problem. The crash report after rebuilding is below. Any ideas?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
The seems to have fixed it! It took my computer about an hour to rebuild the library (so I guess we know it was doing something that the built-in Mac iPhoto First Aid wasn't). Now I can add keywords to my heart's content. All I had to do in addition was to switch over my iCloud photo albums from the old library to the rebuilt one.
However, I don't know how to prevent this problem from happening again... I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for your help, Old Toad! I really appreciate it!
Sigh. It is happening again. But now it is not even providing me with an error report.
It started happening when a shortened version of the keyword I was using frequently accidentally got entered. I am marking my photos with the keyword "dermatology". Usually, autofill works well and I can type "dermat" and press Enter and it will insert "dermatology". However, once, "dermat" was the final entry. After that, when I type in "dermat" and maybe one succeeding "o", an autofill drop down menu briefly shows "dermatology" and then iPhoto crashes.
I am just going to avoid using keywords now. 😟 As a recent switcher to Mac, I am sad that even it has not ironed out all the little kinks like this one.
