I cannot open iPhoto when I plug my iphone 5 into the iMac. I get a repeated error message that say" iPhoto quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to open the app again". and it happens over and over again. Help!
iPhone 5
Which version of iPhoto do you have? And which MacOS X version?
Post the first 50 lines or so of the crash log from the error panel where you are asked to send a report to Apple. Perhaps the log with the full error message can give us an idea.
What changed, before iPhoto started to crash, when you try to import? Did you install new software?
I don't know which version I have - how do i find that. And here are the lines! Anything you can do to help is much appreciated!

You are having iPhoto 9.4.3 on MacOS X 10.8.5.
This iPhoto version is recently crashing frequently, if you have been using the Places feature in iPhoto. YOur crashlog is showing, that your iPhoto version is also crashing when executing Javascript code, that might be used to access the server for the Places data and maps. Make a test:
Disable your network and take the mac offline. If iPhoto is then working again, you are having the problem that iPhoto is crashing, because it can no longer access Google's servers for maps and location data. Apple did not renew the contract with Google.
See this User Tip:
iPhoto 9.4 crashing when viewing Places
There are several ways to deal with this:

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. Going offline does obviously do the same. So it is pretty clear, that something happened on Google's end.
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.
If you want to make the Places feature work again, have a look at cotton-x's post:
User cotton-x posted a clever fix to patch the iPhoto application, so that it is using a private key to access Google's servers. The same fix is working well for Aperture 3.4.5 and probably the earlier versions of Aperture as well. See this link if you want to try it.
Re: iPhoto 11 - Problems With Photo Locations
I tested this in Aperture 3.4.5 and could display the terrain maps again, that have far more detail than the new maps in the current version 3.6 of Aperture.
I cannot start iPhoto. I get an error message that says iPhoto quit unexpectedly
