    Try reinstalling iPhoto 9.6.

    you mean I should try to reinstall it again? I did this twice and always after I've installed 9.6 exporting slideshows didn't work

    No. A 3rd reinstallation isn't needed. But try the following:

     

    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your

         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.

     

    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto

    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

     

    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    Hi Terence - I am having a similar issue with exporting a slideshow.

     

    OS X Version: 10.10.5

    iPhoto Version: 9.6.1

     

    I have made a number of slideshows before and have had no problem exporting them. I make the slideshow with a hundred or so pictures and then add music to it. I then click "Export" to iMovies or Documents and select the resolution and click "save". I have tried selecting different resolutions but this doesn't make any difference. The "Exporting Slideshow" window appears briefly and then iPhoto crashes and I get an error message.

     

    As I mentioned I have made other slideshows and exported them without any problems but it was well over a year ago since I created and exported them.

     

    I have already tried to delete the the plist file and then rebuild iPhoto but it hasn't fixed the problem. In fact the other slideshows I created have since disappeared since the plist was deleted and iPhoto rebuilt.

     

    Any idea what I can do next?
