Hi all

Just installed iPhoto 4, ran software update to iPhoto 4.1 or 4.0.1 or something similar..

It ran and reported it installed successfully, but now the iPhoto icon is that default peice of paper with A in the corner, and it won't load anything..

Is there anything i can do? Should I just reinstall iPhoto4?

Just run Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and repair permissions. It should fix the problem. You may need to replace the icon in your Dock (if you have one) to get the original icon back.

Is that in the Dock or the application folder.
If its the dock, then drag the default icon to the trash and drag the new iphoto icon from the application folder.

Typically these installs add a new version of the application so the link between the dock and the application is broken.

Good Luck

This only happens to the people with the pirated pre-release of iPhoto 4.... Yes, re-install your iPhoto 4
