iphoto 11 updateApple has released iPhoto 9.0.1 via Software Update. The update addresses issues that, in extremely rare cases, could result in data loss when upgrading a library from an earlier version of iPhoto. Indeed, many of our readers have complained of such issues and our own Mel Martin wrote about them in his review of iPhoto '11.

The update weighs in at 33.87 MB and requires iLife '11 and Mac OS X 10.6.3 or later. You can also download the update here and read Apple's knowledgebase article here.

Shame on the Apple team! iPhoto 11 is a piece of crap. I have now gone backwards to use iPhoto 09.

I upgraded, found iPhoto 11 to be unusable (it triggers a channel exception nVidia driver error on a lot of different types of Macs, resulting in freezes) so I restored my entire drive from backup.

I've learned the hard way to mistrust any software updates Apple puts out these days. The major ones I won't even install unless I've ran SuperDuper first.

Does it also re-add the non-existing calendar function? I don't care about fancy greeting cards, I want some calendars (yes, I know it's the lamest christmas present, but I have some kick ass drawings)

Found as annoying bug: Dup a photo of "Album A", drag it to "Events" - it will be now a separate event. Take one of the photo and put it in "Album B". Now both* photos are included in "Album B". Argh!

Ironically with all the people who've been having problems with iPhoto '11, when I installed it and it reprocessed my photo library it actually recovered 11 photos I thought were lost forever during an import that crashed my computer FIVE months ago.

I have a separate 1TB drive for all my images (mostly RAW format), which I then import to iPhoto. This way, if something goes wrong, I still have all the originals.

I installed iLife '11, allowed library update and all my images are there, no glitches whatsoever on a Mac Pro 2008 with very little in the way of 3rd party stuff that affects the system.

What's happened to Apple's quality control lately? Glad I wasn't an early adopter with this - might stick with 09 for a while yet. Don't think I'll be first in the queue for Lion either.

After the update, I was able to finally update my library, but iPhoto 11 is so slow. I'm getting the beachball constantly, and that is on a Mac Pro with 7G ram. Count me disappointed.
