Users have experienced problems when upgrading to iPhoto ’11 and Apple’s come up with a work around. Interestingly, they’ve published it on a Friday evening, which says that they’ve been pushing really hard to get a fix out just in time (sarcasm alert) for the weekend news cycle.

Apple has released iPhoto 9.0.1 (33.87MB), which we shall call the ‘may be harmful to your data up to and including death’ update.

Before updating to iPhoto ’11, it is recommended that all customers download and install the iPhoto 9.0.1 software update:

From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update and check for the iPhoto 9.0.1 Update. You can also manually or download the iPhoto 9.0.1 update here. Follow the instructions to install iPhoto 9.0.1 and then reopen iPhoto ’11 to complete the update.

Apple offers that advice and more in Knowledge Base Article HT4431 and, if you have had issues, you need to read the entire bit.
