Every time I open iPhoto, it "unexpectedly quits." I verified Permissions and repaired Permissions and restarted. Tried again to open iPhoto but it quit immediately.
iPhoto 9.4.3, OS X 10.8.5, MacBookPro.
Any suggestions?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Is your iPhoto version iPhoto 9.4.3 or iPhoto 9.4.5?
iPhoto 9.4.3 started crashing a few days ago for several people, probably crashing because the Google Maps servers are no longer available.
Look at Huxly's fix in this discussion:
There is a problem with the Places feature, because the Google maps are no longer supported.

Re: iPhoto crashes after opening repeatedlyin response to carvermonHelpfulI found a fix that works for me..
1. goto /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources
2. delete the files ' googlemap.html ' and googlesearch.html
Iphoto no longer crashes, places doesn't work but it doesn't bother me too much.
Let me know if it works for you guys...
Removing the two files ' googlemap.html ' and googlesearch.html from iPhoto's application bundle prevents the javascript inside from being executed and causing the crash. To access the files inside the iPhoto application select it in the Finder and ctrl-click it. Then use the command "Show Package Contents" from the menu. Open the subfolder Contents, then Resources.
Don't try this fix without making a copy of the iPhoto application before you try to remove the two files from the application bundle.
