My most recent version of iPhoto, 4, won't start. It was running fine for a while, but all of a sudden I can't seem to start it at all. The icon bounces, the window opens and then abruptly crashes.
I tried repairing permissions, zapping pram, but it still won't work.
Any ideas?

Reinstalling it from the software restore CD is an idea.

Read this thread: http://discussions.i...3@@.68934fe3/5. Even though it's for a different problem, it's way of restoring the ownership and permissions of every file in the iPhoto library folder may help your situation. Otherwise, just try running Disk Utility and repairing permissions that way.

As you can tell I have no idea what I'm doing.
