Import message on opening; Can't get rid of it.

I get: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library folder that was not imported. Would you like to import it?" message pop up everytime I open iPhoto. No mater what I choose, it won't go away. If I choose yes, it imports forever. If I choose no, message comes up next time I open iPhoto. Any suggestions. I can't find suspect photo in iPhoto library.

Steve,
Quit iPhoto. In the Finder, look just inside your Home/ iPhoto Library folder for a folder called "Import". Move it out to your Desktop, then launch iPhoto and see if that clears it up. You can import the contents of the Import folder if you need them.
Warning: make no other changes to the contents of the iPhoto Library folder while you are there, as damage to your library will result. If you don't find an "Import" folder, post back.
Regards.

    Hi there HotFerrari,
    It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • I have an icloud message that i can't get rid of.

    I have an iphone 4, today a message popped up saying that I have not backed up my phone in 4 weeks.   The message is now stuck on the front of my phone and I can't get into my phone to use it or back it up.
    I still receive e-mails and messages - just can't read them
    I am not able to turn my phone off by holding the top button.   The message on the screen seems to be interferring with that.
    Any suggestions?
    Jeff

    Try resetting your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.

  • 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 opening message about found photos?

    When I attempt to open iPhoto6 on my iMac G5, before it loads the photos, I get this message that won't go away until I respond:
    "6294 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
    Question 1: How can I prevent this message reappearing everytime I open iPhoto?
    Question 2: I have just a tad over 2000 photos in my library and didn't upload more than that. Somehow, those must be duplications. How can I get rid of them?
    Thanks for your help.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

    Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

    When I turn my itunes on I get a error message that reads the registry used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning sortware, please reinstall itunes. I did reinstall and it didn't work.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my  contacts  instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account.  How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app.  I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity).  I wish I could start over!!!  thanks.
    iPad

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts.  I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there.  When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies.  You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
    I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though.  Good luck!

  • I have a pop up which I can't get rid of which states: "There is no application set to open the URL ximadpzl://save_ximad_token----/"

    I can't get rid of a message which keeps popping up which says:
    There is no application set to open the URL ximadpzl://save_ximad_token/(etc)
    I have no idea to what they are referring and I can find no application which satisfy this requirement. How do I get rid of this message? It won't go away. I have tried turning off the computer, closing Safari, etc.

    All of these suggestions (delete caches, restart, terminal commands, etc) do nothing to actually LOCATE the problem. They are just standard purging processes, and they have all failed to achieve resolution.  And it is NOT Little Snitch either (tried turning that off and nothing changed).  All these forums on this matter have been speculative and useless.
    Ladies and Gents... I have found and isolated the ACTUAL PROBLEM.  It is a Safari Extension that is doing it... specifically "VideoCatcher 5.3.8" which for me was installed with MovieSherlock.  The extension adds the ability to download YouTube movies directly from Safari (by showing a small download button next to any embedded movie). When I remove that extension, all the annoying pop-ups go away.
    MovieSherlock is not the only utility that does this however. There are several YouTube downloaders out there that ALL install an extension that detects YouTube videos on the page. I bet my hat that many (if not all) of you who are experiencing this pop-up issue... have installed one of those downloader utilities.
    So, the solution is simple: disable that extension. If you need to download a YouTube video from a page, either temporarily enable that extension again as needed, or leave the Safari integration disabled and launch the actual utility itself and enter the URL into it for your download.
    I would expect that MovieSherlock and the other YouTube downloading utilities will need to update their extensions (soon?) to deal with Yosemite's new browser script management.
    PROBLEM SOLVED.
