Apple Online StoreApple today released iPhoto 8.1.2 which addresses minor issues in the area of import and syncing to iPhone, iPod or Apple TV, specifically:

Import:
• Resolves an issue that could sometimes cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when connecting an iPhone 3GS.
• Resolves an issue that prevented an Event thumbnail from being created when an import included only video clips.

iPod nano Support:
• Displays the iPod icon for iPod Nano (5th Generation) correctly in the Source list.

Syncing:
• Resolves an issue that prevented syncing photos to iPhone, iPod, or AppleTV if a slideshow in the library used a song containing an ampersand (&) in the filename.

iPad Compatibility:
• Enables support for importing photos from iPad to your iPhoto library, as well as syncing photos to iPad.

The update is recommended for all users of iPhoto ’09.

iPhoto 8.1.2 is available via Software Update and also as a standalone installer.
