Each time I open iphoto it tells me that there are photos it failed to import but there are never any there

When I open iphoto it tells me that there are photos it failed to import, I tell it not to import them and it tells me where it has put them- however the recovered folders are always empty.

Quit or force quit iPhoto.
Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
Then launch iPhoto again.

  • Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported.  Do you want to import it?  Yes or No"  Any suggestions?

    Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
    Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

    I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now.  Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it.  I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
    Outlook is still not working.  Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

    Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
    It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

  • Updating Thumbnails... each time I open iPhoto

    Hello-
    Every time I open iPhoto, it updates the thumbnails. I have tried the following to no avail:
    1) Remove the iPhoto preferences from home/library/preferences,
    2) Remove the iPhoto cache from home/library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
    3) Rebuild the Thumbnails (command-option while opening iPhoto)
    4) Repair permissions (command-option while opening iPhoto)
    5) Repair database (command-option while opening iPhoto)
    Please let me know if you have encountered this and what you did to fix it. Thank you.

    I'm experiencing the same issue with iPhoto 9.3.  I rebuild the library using each of the four option (only one can be used at a time with iPhoto 9.3)
    with no success.  It was the only library of my 15 libraries that exhibited this issue.  Lastly I rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager and iPLM crashed.  Evidently that one library is damaged in such amanner that It can't be rebuilt by iPLM nor merged into an new library. iPLM crashes with the following mesage:
    This is the console message I get each time iPLM fails to merge the library:
    06/15/12 4:42:25.950 PM iPhoto Library Manager: *** Assertion failure in -[AUAppleEvent sendWithMode:timeout:], /Volumes/Ratbert/Users/bwebster/Projects/UberProject/CarbonUtils/AUAppleEvent.m :372
    06/15/12 4:42:34.153 PM Console: ISGetIconFamilyFromStorage: seed mismatch for 2c510003, actual seed is 625558ec
    I have no idea what it means.  I imported the Masters folder from the problem library into a new library.  There were 15 files that could not be imported although they were formats that iPhoto does recognize, jpg, psd and CR2.
    Go figure.

  • Beachball in about 7 seconds each time I open iPhoto '09

    My mac crashed yesterday while I had iPhoto open. After this, each time I open it, it freezes and I get that nasty beachball. I tried to do some research to see if I could avoid asking any questions, so I:
    -moved the cache to the trash and emptied
    -moved the preference file to the trash and emptied
    -used iPhoto Library Manager to repair
    -created new Library and tried to move original one into it
    Any way I slice it, iPhoto freezes and I have to force quit.
    Please help me troubeshoot (fix).
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the new library work if you just import a few photos at a time? It if does then the original library is damaged and may not be repairable. If the new library also crashes, etc. log into another account on your Mac, create a test library and see if iPhoto will launch and work as it should there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before installing iPhoto.
    If iPhoto works in the other Mac account OK your primary account is the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
    4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    5 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
    6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • When I Open Iphoto it tells me that it can not open current photo library using this version of iphoto.  Any help on what I can do to fix this without loosing all my previous photos?

    For some reason I tried to open Iphoto and it keeps giving me an error message that It can not open my current photo library. 
    It says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of Iphoto. 
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of Iphoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of Iphoto, or do you want
    to create a new photo library?"
    I tried updating the software and didn't do nothing for me. 
    Anyone have a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Ok, here is what I would do for that situation. I would back up all your photos on a memory stick, then create a new photo library and re-upload all the photos to the new library. If iphoto wont let you even copy your photos, you should just schedule an appointment at the genius bar. This has never happened to me, but if it did this is what I would be attempting.

  • Every time I open Firefox it tells me that I need to update flashplayer, I download the update, it automatically tries to open as a ms word file

    I cannot find a way to download a version of the update that is actually an installer rather than a word file. I am running a mac, os x 10

    The file should end with .dmg, which normally is a system extension not associated with Microsoft Word. Is Firefox changing the name??
    Since the same plugin is used by both Safari and Firefox, have you tried downloading with Safari?

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't open iPhoto.  I understand that there is a new app (photos) but I can not find this app on my computer

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite but I can not locate the photos app.  It is not in finder - where do I look for it?

    The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
    If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

  • My iPhoto application rebuilds each time I open it. How do I avoid?

    Each time I open iPhoto warning appears...need to upgrade library...then inconsistencies appear need to rebuild etc. etc.  But nothing changes permanently.  Why not?  How to fix?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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.
    Regards
    TD

  • IPhoto message each time I open the app...

    Everytime I open iPhoto I get a message like this: "6 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?" I click YES everytime, but still keep getting that message each time I open the app. What can I do to stop getting that message?

    I also get pop up messages when I open iPhoto - in my case 10,000 photos not yet imported, do I want to import them now etc.
    I have tried to follow your advice but when I control click on my iphoto library in Pictures folder, I don't get the option to "show package contents". Im using iPhoto 6. Can you suggest any further options for me?
    These photos multiply whenever I try to do an import from my iPhone - iPhoto crashes in the middle of the import, So the number of "unimported" photos leaps by two thousand or so each time.

  • IPhoto 9.2 crashes each time I open...

    Hi, iPhoto worked well for some years now but after I experienced unexpected iPhoto crashes at each start of the program (before any photos were shown) I updated to 9.2 but it still did not work. Each time I start iPhoto it crashes. Tried already to repair the library but no success as well. Who can help?

    Since the problem doesn't appear in your test library it's your original library that's the culprit.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HELP!! My Apple "MAIL" app. unexpectedly quits each time I open it.

    My Apple "MAIL" app. unexpectedly quits each time I open it.
    It will begin to load my mail, show the mailboxes and new e-mails and then all of a sudden quit.
    I searched some of the Apple support and forums and have tried these things:
    1. I trashed the "com.apple.mail.plist" preference file in the pref. folder.
    2. I did an archieve install with Tiger OSX on my entire System Folder.
    3. I erased my user>library>"mail folder"
    4. I tried holding the shift key upon opening the program as suggested here but to no avail: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=479497&tstart=0
    This has not resolved the problem. The program still quits every time I open it.

    A few of the messages I deleted (the last 2 days) now say
    "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    If this is the result of having deleted the *.emlx files manually, you're probably seeing this error message because there is still a reference to them in Envelope Index.
    Is there anyway to tell Mail to re-download these
    mail files and reconnect them?
    If they're still on the server, yes. Choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window to open the Account Info window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature. Now, choose the account that has the problem from the Account popup menu at the top of the window. Does Mail display there the messages that are missing? What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

  • Same message every time I open iPhoto - "use iPhoto when you connect..."

    Every time I open iPhoto 6 (using a MacBook Pro) I am asked: "Do you want to use iPhoto when you connect your digital camera?" I respond "yes," only to be presented with the same question the next time I open the program. Any thoughts on why that might be and how I can stop it from asking (and remember that I want to use it with my camera)?
    MacBook Pro (Dual 2.0Ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the suggestion. I gave that a try, but no luck. Turns out, though, my main volume was corrupted--most likely related to running the public beta of Parallels Workstation (great software, but there's a reason they tell you not to run betas on production computers ). I repaired my drive using Disk Utility and that seems to have done the trick.

  • Constant Keychain Request Each Time iTunes Opens

    Each time iTunes opens up it asks me for the password to my keychain. I don't recall it doing this before. I recently did a clean install of Tiger and brought my PBG4 up to 10.4.10, and re-installed all my apps. I updated to iTunes 7.6.2.
    Here's the situation. I use a cron job to open an AppleScript(s) and that AppleScript tells iTunes to open and play a specific play list. It used to work great, for years as a matter of fact.
    (Most of my library is composed of CD's of mine I've digitized, songs I've made myself on the computer, and a minimal (~few hundred) songs, I've purchased from the iTunes Store.)
    In the AM, energy saver wakes the computer and runs a script to play a playlist of bird songs, I highly recommend it! In the past, after an iTunes update, the lawyer-language dialog would always throw a monkey wrench in the works, if I didn't open up iTunes first and accept the license. (In other words iTunes would open, but the legal mumbo jumbo dialog would halt all iTunes prorgress.)
    However, the problem that's occurred the past few days is that EVERY TIME iTunes opens up, and my keychain is locked, iTunes won't do a darn thing until I type in my keychain password and then iTunes does some "phone home" thing. This is totally bogus. EVERY TIME!
    I am considering having to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes to avoid this, since I don't recall it happening before.
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Help?
    This is a laptop, and I have it set to lock keychains on sleep. I also set keychains to lock after a certain amount of time. This is a bit of a security measure and I won't change it. In the past iTunes NEVER needed to connect to the store during initialization.
    Imagine that in order for your clock radio to ring the alarm, or play music in the morning, you had to get up and turn it on yourself, this is what I am facing. Rediculous.
    Fix? Work around? Help? Other? Thanks in advance!

    A bit more info...
    iTunes is authorized, the computer is authorized.
    And
    Even if I hit "cancel" in the Keychain password dialog request, WITHOUT typing in my password, iTunes will play anything from my library, stuff I've bought and my own stuff.
    Why is iTunes halting everytime right after it opens with that darn Keychain dialog?!
    My goal is for iTunes to work like it used to. To initialize and open up without modal dialogs, and await commands.
    What can I do? Downgrade iTunes is the only thing I can think of...
    TIA
