How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

    Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
    Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • How Do I Get Rid of Files that Always Lose Permissions?

    Seem to be having numerous system problems lately and in working through these, I'm rebuilding permissions frequently
    What I see are pretty much the same files over and over whose permissions "differ." Many of these files seem to refer to resources for languages other than the one I typically use (English), such as:
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/French.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Remo te Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/UIAgent.nib".
    "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/Japanese.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib".
    These aren't the ONLY files whose permissions need to be fixed but the files mentioned above show up over an over again.
    The question is - do I need these files to begin with? If they're optional, how do I get rid of them?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    However, if you'd like to elaborate on the problems that you were experiencing, some of us may be able to offer more advice.
    It began with having QuarkXpress (ver 8.5.1) freeze EVERY time I Quit the app. Occasionally, Photoshop (CS5) would also unexpected quit. Went 'round and round with that - the crash reports always seemed to mentioned Suitcase (a font management program) so I got rid of that application. Photoshop is more stable but Quark still chokes every time.
    Next I noticed a huge system degradation whenever Time Machine was doing a backup. I use it wirelessly due to the location of the Time Capsule relative to my computers. Specifically, applications would slow down so much that they often froze. I opened an Apple discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3624170 on that and received helpful advice. In that process, I reinstalled system software via the Combo Update.
    When I was able to diagose the Time Capsule hardware, found there to be a problem which was repair via Disk Utility.
    HOWEVER - even after all of these things, I'm still experiencing applications hanging up / freezing entirely ... often, still, while Time Machine is backing up, but not always ... if I must Force Quit applications, it often leads to the Finder getting hung up as well and if I choose "Restart" everyone on my desktop disappears except the wallpaper then the system just sits there.
    Can't tell you how often I've had to shut off the CPU using the button on the front. Hate doing that but I don't have much choice at that point.
    So there's my sorry tale. If you can make sense out of any of it, I would be eternally grateful.

  • How do I get rid of files that only show up on my iPod, but not on my computer when connected? These files appeared after I reconnected my iPod to my computer, and appear to be music files linked to a website.

    I purchased an album on itunes and everything was fine. Then when I reconnected my ipod and it did some autosync (which I have it set up to do manual sync) it added every single song a second time, but apparently they are some sort of internet file, that will only play when I have internet connection. These files won't show up through my computer at all and I can't figure out a way to delete them directly from my ipod either. It's incredibly annoying as when I try to listen the album it plays through two songs, then automatically quits playing when it gets to these phantom files...

    This is not an itunes question at all.
    Try posting in a more appropriate forum.

  • How can I get rid of text that was made in iMovie while in FCPX

    I imported a video from my imovie and am in the process of adding text in the frames, is there a way to get the old text that was embedded in the imovie, can it be cut or editied out of the frames, I don't see any options that allow you to select it and delete. I just don't want to have to go back and delete it out as I have already made some major improvements on the exsisiting project.
    Thanks,

  • How can I get rid of Babylon that took over my home page via Firefox?

    A site called Babylon took over my home page among other things last week. Your advice via email to get Firefox from someone else who has it wasn't feasible. Neither was Riva uninstaller which you recommended. This appears to be an attack on Firefox and although I got rid of most of Babylon, it still dominates my home page. I love Firefox but this is bad news. I need it fixed.

  • How can I get a .cgi file that keeps downloading to work in the browser?

    When I click on the .gif "Mod 3" on the URL below, Firefox (and Safari) just download a .cgi file to my desktop. I don't know if I CAN get this link to work, but I'd like to.
    http://osr.rice.edu/consent/mod2soc/mod2sec7.html#q2_5
    Tried monkeying around with the Applications preferences, but doesn't seem relevant. Doesn't give me an option to do anything other than download the file when I click the link. I tried Safari too, just to see if that'd make any difference, and it didn't.

    That is a problem with the code on that page.<br />
    It is a perl script that needs to run on that server, but the link seems to be missing (GET) parameters that the script should evaluate. If there are no such parameters passed to the script then you get such a download pop-up.
    What should happen if you click that button?

  • How can I get rid of malware that redirects to a different website than requested, i.e. Price Grabber?

    When I open Firefox, my default browser, another tab opens with shopping "deals" featured. If I search in Google and select from the list of results, I am often redirected to a different shopping channel.
    Somehow this malware has gotten past my always-running virus checker and is not detected by Adaware or Search&Destroy.

    Try running either of these malware scanners, they are considered to be aamongst the best:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
    For particular information on Google re-direct virus see http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/02/remove-google-redirect-virus.html
    Also check to see if an add-on is causing this behavior, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How can I get rid of this that shows up every time I start my Mac?

    “/Library/StartupItems/AdobeVersionCue” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
    It started to show up when moving from CS4 and up. I am currently a Creative Cloud user
    Thanks

    Hi RicardoGonzalez,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Please open the finder window click on "go" and choose "computer".
    Navigate to MacHD/Library/Startupitems and send AdobeVersionCue to Desktop or some other location on the hard drive.
    Then try to launch your application and check if the issue persists.
    Thanks

  • I hear very soft audio (advertising) in the background - how can I get rid of it? Cannot tel where it is coming from.

    These are commercials that I get very softly in the background - I have checked every tab for hidden ads, cannot find where this is coming from. What gives?

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
