Help - Unexpected Quits After One Day with iPhoto 6

Question

The transfer of approx 3,000 photos went remarkably smooth an all the album and date data were retained successfully with perhaps a dozen or so exceptions noticed in some images which appeared to be listed with incorrect dates. No big deal.
This morning I thought I'd add an album of favorites and that too went without a hitch.
But, after breakfast and a restart, and now a permission repair and a library rebuild, iPhoto 6 Unexpectedly Quits at launch.
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000004
PLEASE help!

Answer 1

I suggest you try the following:
A - run OnyX and clean out the various user and system caches. You next reboot will be longer and usual but will get back to normal on subsequent restarts.
G - boot into the single user mode and run the File System Check (fsck) as follows:
FSCK - File System Check
To start up in single-user mode
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold both the Command (Apple) and "s" keys on your keyboard. The computer will display a series of text messages, at which time you may release these keys.
When the computer has started up, it will display a command line prompt (#). The computer is now in single-user mode.
How to Run the File System Check from the Command Line
Once you have reached a command line, follow these steps to use fsck:
1. At the prompt, type: fsck -fy (NOTE, there is a space between the k and the “-”)
The fsck utility will go through five "phases" and then return information about the disk's utilization and fragmentation. Once the check is finished, if no issue is found, you should see "** The volume <name of volume> appears to be OK."
If fsck alters, repairs, or fixes anything, it will display the message:
**** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
IMPORTANT: If this message appears, repeat the "fsck -fy" command until this message no longer appears. It is not unusual for your computer to require several "passes" of fsck, because first-pass repairs may uncover additional errors. Run it until you get two consecutive times with an "OK" result.
3. When fsck reports that no problems were found, type: reboot
4. Press Return.
C - reinstall the 10.4.4 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
I see you have a newer dual G5 so doubt if you're low on free space, 15% or 10G recommended minimum). But if so try to increase it. You can recover some by removing the unneeded language modules with Monolingual. I saved nearly 900MB the first time I clean them out. Just be sure that English is not check as one to remove or very bad things will happen.
I suggested the previous because what you're experiencing does not seem to be universal but more unique to a few and more "environment" related.
