iPhoto Causes Reboot Loop

[reynardfox-user]

Do not, I repeat, do NOT open iPhoto. It seems as though the facial recognition feature on it is causing crashes on this particular motherboard. It automatically reboots Mac OS X within a minute of booting and never stops.

Of course, I didn't know this beforehand...so did load iPhoto. Here's the steps I took to break out of that reboot loop:

• Booted into Recovery HD from Clover
• Opened up Terminal and renamed all iPhoto Libraries
• Removed the iPhoto Photo Analysis Launch Agent from /System/Library/LaunchAgents: rm -rf com.apple.photoanaysisd.plist
• Rebooted and ran successfully for 20 minutes. It was previously rebooting within a minute of logging in. I'll repost here after more testing.

Note: you will have to know some basic Terminal commands to do all this. Just don't want to get into the nitty-gritty at the moment. Not even sure if anyone's reading this : P

Check if it's loaded

test $(launchctl list | grep com.apple.photoanaysisd.plist) && echo "Loaded" || echo "Not Loaded"

Remove It

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.photoanaysisd.plist
rm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.photoanaysisd.plist
