Nov 20, 2015 4:50 AM in response to Huxly647by Dredger,I read in another post that someone had disconnected their internet connection: I tried that just now and iPhoto did not crash. So, whatever is making it crash, clearly it is through the internet and likely then, something to do with the way places work, as was suggested, Google.

Nov 20, 2015 12:21 PM in response to Terence Devlinby Abbax,Thank you. I also tried right-clicking on iPhoto now. unfortunately don't get the option "show package contents", only options, show recents, open and in options, show package contents is not given either. I googled Huxley647's recommendation to 'show hidden files'. Actually, I do not dare following the complicated process. I would fear to change things and not be able to restore the previous status.
I can also confirm as others before that when I turn off the internet, iPhoto works properly…

Yes, I was not doing it right. Thank you for highlighting and the screenshot. Got it now. It works, Places disabled and iPhoto no longer crashes.
Thank you all for bearing with me. -
Nov 20, 2015 1:32 PM in response to Abbaxby Dredger,As others I was wary of, and didn't want to, make changes like that. But I took the plunge and did as was suggested following the instructions and, touch wood, things seem to be fine now.
Thanks all.

Nov 20, 2015 4:51 PM in response to carvermonby carvermon,I have deleted the google files per Huxly's tip, and iPhoto seems stable again, but I am now getting the "allow incoming network connections?" window every time iPhoto is opened. I have checked my security preferences and run a permissions repair, but it continues to pop up. I'm sure it is because I have confused the system by altering the folder contents. Is this happening to the others who have used this fix? Any idea how to rectify this?
Thanks!

Nov 20, 2015 8:29 PM in response to carvermonby ladarlene,As I posted, the tip to remove Googlemaps and the other Google file made it possible for me to use the Info button again. Since I hadn't been able to locate some of the files others suggested deleting (moot now), I'm wondering if there's a difference between iPhoto the application that came with my (then) new computer, and iPhoto APP, from the app store? I never could fine "iPhoto.app" on my computer.

I think Terrance needs a coffee! You must enter iphoto via finder, not via the normal menu icon.

I'm good for coffee thanks. This is plain wrong. Maybe you're not explaining yourself very clearly. Try again.

If you are seeing "iPhoto.app" or "iPhoto" in your Applications folder will depend on your Finder Preferences, not on the application you installed.
If you disable filename extensions to show, you will only see "iPhoto" and not "iPhoto.app".
See this Help page: OS X Yosemite: Show or hide filename extensions
Filename extensions—the period followed by a few letters or words that you see at the end of some filenames (for example, .jpg)—indicate which app can open a file.
Filename extensions are usually hidden in OS X, but if you find them useful, you can show them. If extensions are hidden, OS X still opens files with the proper apps.
For one file
- Select a file, then choose File > Get Info, or press Command (⌘)–I.
- Click the triangle next to Name & Extension to expand the section.
- To show or hide the filename extension, select or deselect “Hide extension.”
For all files
If you select “Show all filename extensions,” all extensions are shown, even for files that have “Hide extension” selected. If you deselect “Show all filename extensions,” then file extensions are shown or hidden based on their individual “Hide extension” settings.
- Choose Finder > Preferences, then click Advanced.
- Select or deselect “Show all filename extensions.”
When you rename a file or folder, don’t change its filename extension. Or, you may no longer be able to open the file with the app that was used to create it. To be warned before you change an extension, select “Show warning before changing an extension” in the Advanced pane of Finder preferences.
