Iphoto wont open - library not loaded

Question

I recently had an issue where both Aperture and iphoto couldn't load, the message said "iphoto cannot be opened because of a problem" and then I got the error message below. It didn't even load the app, but bounce it once and then post the error message
Had a poke around, but cant for the life of me figure out why it cant see the Library. I have repaired permissions and tried others, but still not working.
Am i missing something really simple?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

See this line above:
/Library/Frameworks/iLifeFaceRecognition.framework/Versions/A/iLifeFaceRecognit ion
That piece of support framework needed for iPhoto can't be found or is broken.
Try re-install iPhoto
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
If that doesn't help you need to reinstall the OS
