| I've read that when a problem arises in a users account and does not show up in another, then there is something wrong with that users account that's experiencing the problem. It's usually corrupted Fonts, Caches and/or Preference files that is the culprit.
Validate the Fonts.
Open Font Book, choose All Fonts under Collection, Choose the first Font on the list, then use the ⌘ + A keys to choose all, in the File menu > Validate Fonts. A window with a list of Fonts that have passed, have a minor problem or a serious problem with a Font(s) will pop-up.
Caches, use your maintenance tool to delete all system and users caches.
Preferences, since you used AppDelete to trash iPhoto and it's files then there must be another plist(s) that is corrupt.
Move the Preferences folder that's in Home > Library to the Desktop then logout and in.
Take a set of plist files, 10, 20 or however many you want and move them to the new Preferences folder in Home > Library. Logout and in then launch iPhoto. If iPhoto works properly then move the next set of plist files from the Preference folder that's on the Desktop to Home > Library > Preferences until you get to a set that "breaks" iPhoto. Move that set with a corrupt plist file back to the Desktop Preference folder and then move a 1/4 or 1/2 of them back to Home > Library > Preferences folder until iPhoto "breaks" again. Don't forget to logout and in each time you move a set of plist files to Home > Library > Preferences. Keep doing this until you find the corrupt file(s) even after you find one there may be more, so do this to all the preference files that are the Desktop.
After all that, it could be File Vault. I've also read that it causes problems too.  |
