Appeared on one Mac but not the other.

Also, hasn't fixed the 'slideshow fading to black then hanging' bug. On my iMac G3, anyway.

Yep, it's in my software update. Hope it fixes the 'photo book' crash...

Edit: It seems to have done :):) plus it feels quite a lot faster now.

If you upgraded from iPhoto 04 you need to temporarily remove the iPhoto packages from /Library/Receipts, then run Software Update again. Then you'll see the iPhoto 5.01 update. Put the old packages back after the update.

I upgraded from iPhoto '04 and didn't have to do any such thing. I got the 5.0.1 update early on yesterday. BTW, what are receipts?

Yeah... I was getting a couple crashes while working on some books in iphoto 5. I've been trying to replicate this same situations after the update and have not had a crash yet...

I don't think this update helps the hundreds/thousands of people like me who upgraded from iphoto 4 and lost all their libraries. The update doesn't do much to relieve the frustration of spending hours to track down possible fixes on various forums, deleting versions of iphoto, reinstalling, etc. It's really uncool of Apple to have released a beta product under the name iphoto 5, and then use the faithful as guinea pigs.
