Q: iPhoto won't open
Hi can anyone out there assist?
Was doing some file tidy up on my iMac (2008/ OS 10.9.4) and there seems to be a problem opening up iPhoto.
Suspect it requires me to deinstall iPhoto, and then to reinstall it.
Question:
1. will a remove/reinstall affect the 'precious' iPhoto Library containing my years of photos in any way?
I do have a back up on Time Machine should I need them in an emergency but have never resorted to this and am paranoid about the backup being accurate
2. I believe the last s/w update i 'paid' for, was 10.6 Snow Leopard, but perhaps I paid for the Mavericks update (10.9.4) I honestly cannot remember. All I know is I've kept my releases upto date. But, I am left confused as to how I could get hold of the iPhoto software (if indeed your advice is a simple reinstall).
thanks a mill for advice. ccding
