Any time I open iPhoto 9.4.3 and try to click on anything, it crashes. Any idea why? (iMac 10.8.5) Thanks

Nevermind...... Thanks anyway. I found the answer on an old post. Sorry

Disable your network, and try again to launch iPhoto, while you are offline.
If it does not crash this way, iPhoto is crashing, because the Places are no longer working.
iPhoto on Mt. Lion is recently crashing frequently, if you have been using the Places feature in iPhoto. iPhoto is 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.

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.
