You have to verify that you have the latest version of iPhoto. Did you download it from the app store?

Update it.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1

If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash

Install the App from the App Store.

Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I think you need to re-read the first line of my post. Then the second one.

you wrote that you did not do that, that's why I suggested you re-read it. And you do need to download iPhoto if you want to use it. If you don't, by all means use whatever app you want. But you get best help in the correct forum - ditto with your Maps query. Another tip: good questions get good answes. Simply saying that it has "stopped working" means only more questions. You need to fully describe the problem.

Quit the application.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Maps.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.

Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.

If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
