Go to:

YourHomeAccount ~> Pictures

Press Command + 3 to go to List view

Click on the iPhoto Library icon.

Do you see lots of folders/files?

Hope you can see this message: I now get
The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto.
Please quit and upgrade this photo library y opening in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4.
Now, that's funny. Since I have purchased and used all iphoto versions for the past six years. HA HA HA. I'm so glad I'm here! Great fun!

As an update I removed usling APP DELETE, the iPHOTO 6 and - I found my iLife '04 - installed the 4 year old iPHOTO '04 program. It quits.
This is fun!!!!!!

Here's a link to help you understand how the different versions of iPhoto work with your image files:

Two interesting things are now happening: I checked out some troubleshooting links suggested by PBear (on an old post which is currently running about this problem, go figure...in any event... I had already done a number of the easier ones ie firstaid, disk util, etc. but one of the easiest was "create new user." So, 1) I created a new user and, lo and behold, iPhoto WILL launch under that user. There is nothing in any files or folders so I assume that's because it's a new user, but it did launch; however, 2) the Cinema display now resets to "Generic RGB Profile" when iPhoto opens in the other user, you cannot change it, if you click on it, I get the Sound you get if you click on something that doesn't launch or work. When I logout and let the other user open, the Display has now reset in that user account as well, cannot do anything with the display settings. To get back to the calibrated display, or to choose a different setting than "Generic RGB profile" you have to restart the computer. Now, isn't that a kick in the pants!

So, good news, bad news. The iPhoto will launch on this computer under a different user. However, the program resets the cinema display to Generic RGB Profile and you cannot change it unless you reboot.

Any new suggestions? Interesting, huh!
