Iphoto crashing when starting a slideshow

Hi

My iPhoto 11 9.4.3 crashes whenever I try to run a slideshow. I have A late 2012 Macbook Pro operating osx 10.8.5 with all updates. I have tried many things.

I've rebuilt, and repaired every option with the option/command start up of iPhoto on the libraries but to no avail.

Can anyone help me please, thank you.

Below is the message I get to send to apple. It is not the full message but can send it if needed.

The older iphoto versions are crashing whenever they are using the Places feature. Does you slideshow perhaps use places?

The problem is, that Apple did not renew the contract with Google for the access to the location servers, and any older iPhoto versions will crash, when they need to lookup a location and try to access Google's servers.

See this user tip: Bug: iPhoto 9.4 crashing when viewing Places

You have several options as described in the user tip:

Try to update to an iPhoto version that uses different servers, if you can , update to iPhoto 9.6.1 on Sierra. IPhoto 9.5.1 or newer are using different serves to lookup places.
Patch iPhoto to remove the Java script code from the iPhoto Application bundle
Patch the javascript files and add your own access key for Googles servers.

Hi Leonie, Thank you for replying. In answer to your post - I have got the places feature on my iPhoto but it crashes without using places!! As soon as I press the slideshow button it crashes. I understand the basics of what you are saying. I will have a look at the user tip you placed and see if I can fathom out what to do. I am quite a novice when it comes to computers. If I updates iPhoto to iPhoto 9.6.1 how do I do this and will it give me further problems in any way. How do you patch iPhoto to remove the Java script code? I don't even understand this I'm sorry.

Thank you very much for your post though I appreciate your help.

Regards

Michael

I can see from the crash log that you are currently on iPhoto 9.4.3 and Mt. Lion.

With that version iPhoto will crash, as soon as you are opening the Info panel for any photo with GPS assigned, if "looking up places" is enabled in the iPhoto Preferences.

As a test - disconnect your computer from the internet . does iPhoto crash if you are offline? If not, the problem is indeed iphoto trying to access Goggle's servers.

As to updating iPhoto - that is tricky now. Apple stooped the development of iPhoto and it is no longer supported at the AppStore. You can only update to iPhoto to a newer version, if you own an AppStore version of iPhoto or it as associated with your AppleID at the AppStore. Does iPhoto show in your Purchases history, when you launch the App Store and look at the Purchases tab? If not, you cannot update to iPhoto 9.6.1. This is explained in Barney's user tip: Can't Update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

If you cannot update iPhoto, patch it as described, or upgrade to macOS Sierra and migrate your iPhoto libraries to the new Photos for Mac - the successor to iPhoto. You may find it puzzling at first, but it is actually more powerful than iPhoto.

Hi Leonie,

I have disabled my wifi and the iPhoto works perfectly as you suggested. I do NOT have iPhoto shown in my purchases history unfortunately, it was my bothers computer originally. I will try and patch it as described. Do you think I should do the following then?

I 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.

Thank you for your invaluable help

Michael
