    Well then fix it

     

    For us to help you have to provide information - "it is not working" tells us nothing

     

    What version of the OS and of iPhoto? Why to you think it is not working? What exactly happens and what exact error messages do you get?

    Is iPhoto crashing when you open the Info panel or directly when launching?

     

    None of the iPhoto versions released before iPhoto 9.5.1 are working any longer, if you ever used the Places feature. 

     

    Disable your network connection and try again.  If iPhoto launches without a network connection, you are most likely a victim of this bug.

    Apple did not renew the contract with Google for access to the servers for the location service, and now older iPhoto versions stopped working. See this User Tip:   iPhoto 9.4 crashing when viewing Places
