IPhoto automatically displaying latest imported photos every time

Hi, I have noticed for a while that iPhoto always automatically comes back to the "latest imported" photo album whenever I come back to the iPhoto window. Does any one knows what that means and how to stop it?
For instance when I go to another app (let's say safari) while I am modifying a picture, when I come back to iPhoto it switches directly to the "latest import" album. This is really annoying !
Thanks for your help !
Louis

Yes. Close iPhoto, go to the Picture folder and open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
Look in the Auto Import folder and move any items in it to the Desktop.  Launch iPhoto and it should work as expected.

  • Iphoto in the latest edition crushes every time, when i try to edit the location of the photo, why? And how can i avoid this?

    Hi, i updatet this week to Lion, and i did all updates for ilife as well. But know, every time i will change or edit the location/place of a picture, iphoto freezes. One cpu goes to 100% and iphoto dosn't work anymore. What can i do?

    Hi, again! I got still the problem. Is there nowhere somebody with a solution (Apple maybe?).
    It is annoying. I could still add photos but editing the location leads always to a crash. You can see the result in the screen shot above. In the doc is the monitor with one red bar - thats the cpu iphoto grabs and then freezes.
    You could also see the field for typing in a location is still active (cursor is there) and the dropdown seems to wait for an answer of google... and thats it...
    Is there a way to deaktivate this feature, so i can only type in my location without an location witch Google?
    Thx for help!
    Please: do not recommend the reorganizing of the library or check of the library or else. This is all be done without any result...

  • I get a message to import photos every time I start IPhoto 08 even though..

    the images have been imported. It keeps importing 61 of the same images over and over. The message reads, "*61 Photos have been found in the IPhoto library that were not imported*", "would you like to import them?" This messgage is annoying as heck and I would like to make it stop! Any suggestions?

    Dentaldawg:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto Library package like this and look for a folder with Import in the file name. Move it to the desktop and launch iPhoto again. If the message stops you can then drag that folder into the open iPhoto window and import. If they are duplicates you'll get an option to not import them.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto not displaying all imported photos

    Hi!
    I am having trouble viewing all of my photos in iPhoto. They are all in my iCloud, and they appear in that photo stream. However, after I have imported *ALL* of my photos from my iPhone, iPhoto is only displaying some of them. It seems like there is an algorithm that is picking only one photo to display from a series of similar photos, (note: I am not talking about burst photos). I do a lot of shooting with my iPhone for my business, and I hate that I'm not able to access all of them in iPhoto. I also want to make sure that I am actually getting them all archived on my computer before I delete them from my phone. I have used the "Rebuild Thumbnail" function that you can access by holding down command and control when starting iPhoto. This seemed to help some, but it certainly did not restore all of the thumbnails.
    I'm running a mid-2011 Macbook Air with OSX 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6. My iPhone is up to date also with iOS 8.1.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for replying Larry. I am importing via direct USB connection and importing through iPhoto app, not just syncing with iTunes. My photo library is located on my Time Capsule. But I had this problem before I relocated the library to the time capsule actually.

  • Must import all photos every time

    I recently updated my iPhoto 5 with whatever the most current downloadable update was, i believe its 5.0.4. Ever since this, i cannot choose not to import images that are already in the iPhoto library and also still on my camera's memory. It it making me import ALL of my photos EVERY time. this is annoying, since i do not always like to delete the media from my camera right away.
    In my older versions of iPhoto 5 i was prompted to decide wether or not to import duplicates every time i hooked up the camera, now it does not display this prompt, it just imports everything every time. can i turn the prompt box back on so that i can only inport the photos i dont have yet. or has this feature been done away with for some unknown and ill-logical reason?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPHoto 6 seems to have a problem in this area for a lot of users, thought not all. I found that if I upload to a folder on the desktop and then import that folder I get the query regarding duplicates. You might give that a try until iPhoto's fixed. You can use Image Capture to handle the upload to the Desktop. It's located in your Applications folder.

  • How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

    You don't have a problem at all.
    IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
    This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
    I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
    No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails  for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
    go to finder>all images
    Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
    I try to delete the extra copies
    Then you are trashing your Library.
    So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 locks up every time I try to do cards or photo books

    iPhoto 9.4.3 locks up every time I try to do cards or photo books. Any solutions?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start.  Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

    It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • IPhoto wants to update the library EVERY time it is launched

    Upgraded to iPhoto 11 this morning. Now, every time I open iPhoto, it wants to update the library.
    So, there is a 20+ minute delay between opening iPhoto and being able to actually use it.
    Argh.

    I've given up on iLife 11 and am reverting to iLife 09.
    I have to re-import all my photos to iLife 09, because iPhoto 11 bloated my library (from ~500Gb to over a TB) to much that Time Machine dumped the old backups.
    You see, when iPhoto "rebuilds" the library, Time Machine feels compelled to back up the entire thing every time.
    So all my old backups were lost.
    I'm so pleased with the new iLife, I could vomit blood.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.
