iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier began to crash for many users all of a sudden several days ago. There is a problem with the Places feature, because the Google maps are no longer supported.

I found a fix that works for me.


1. goto /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources (Control (right)-click on the iPhoto app and select Show Contents in the contextual menu - OT.)


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. Going offline does obviously do the same. So it is pretty clear, that something happened on Google's end.

Be sure to make a backup copy of the iPhoto application before attempting this procedure.
