How do I move a bunch of photos to another part of the iPhoto Library?

Hi,
Awhile ago I noticed that 11 photos shot way back in May keep appearing at the end of every new group of photos I add in my libary and not sure how to fix this.
There is a spot in my libary of one photo shot on the same day and I'm wondering if I can add these 11 photos next to it in the libary so inbetween two photos? If that isn't possible then maybe I can add the 11 to that one photo of the same date.
I've created a folder of the 11 on the left hand side column and tried a few things but can't figure out what to do.
Any ideas?

S:
If you're looking at them in an Event then the order is determined by the date. You can put them into the order you'd like by putting them in an album, manually sorting. Then do a Batch Change of the date. A 1 minute or more differential will be put between the files and they will all have the same date.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

    Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library.  If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.

  • Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  no matter what I do, iphoto puts the pic in recovered files.  How do I fix this?

    Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me,  A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  If I import it, a message comes up Unreadable file, the following file could not be imported. them it tells me where the file is and it cannot be opened.  If I do not import, then it says,The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/patrick*******/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_4.  It will just keep adding to recvovered photos.  This drives me crazy!!!!!!!  How do I fix this?

    I had this problem some months ago and the following solution from Terrence Delvin put things right:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
    However, since connecting a memory stick to my computer, I now have the same problem again.  This time there is no folder called 'Import' or 'Importing' so what should I do?

  • How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

    1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
    2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

    How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder?  The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.  
    it does not come up.
    What does not come up?  What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
    Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
    How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
    Linda

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
    Click to view full size
    look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away.  If there is no message  check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

    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

  • A photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported???

    When i open iphoto i get a message saying "a photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported, would you like to import it?" I have tried what everyone is saying to do, but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents and i've looked all through that, still no import folder. Even though i click no i do not want the photo imported it still is stored on my external hard drive and every so often i have to go delete TONS of photos and when you click on the photo it doesn't even actually show up as anything.

    but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents
    You're looking at the iPhoto.app package. Those instructions are for the iPhoto Library package. That's in your Pictures Folder.

  • IPhoto, "A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported

    A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported. I click no or yes and I receive a message... The photo has been placed in the folder /Users//Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_11. what do i need to do to stop this???

  • Photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported

    Whenever I start iPhoto, I get an error that says:
    5 Photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?
    http://www.fredmccann.com/error.png
    If I say no, the dialog goes away but you get it the next time you start iphoto. If I say yes, then iphoto tries to import something (I don't know what) and hangs. I've let it run for two hours and nothing ever gets imported. What's worse is that every time I try to let it import, it increments the number of pictures it thinks is missing. The first time it said 3 photos. I let it attempt an import and it froze. The next start it claimed there were 4. It's up to 5 now and I've figured out that letting it try to import whatever it thinks is missing is a bad idea.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? Any suggestions?

  • Photos  have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported

    Every time I open iPhoto 9 (version 8.0.3) I get the following message: "photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
    Whether I click "yes" or "no" (it doesn't matter) a "recovered photo" folder is created that contains six documents with long names, such as "8E7471DB-A316-4640-A4EE-98293772E434-269-000002802B328A1B". And even when they are "recovered", the very next time I open iPhoto I have to go through the same thing over again.
    I can't find where the originals are or why iPhoto keeps wanting to import these documents.

    I tried to right click the photo album icon in my library
    Is that referred to in an earlier post?
    Seems to me that the suggestion is to
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

  • 1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

    In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
    After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
    1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
    Would you like to import them?
    What does this mean?
    - nello

    I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
    Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
    For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
    Is there any way rejoin the original  (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

  • 92 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported.

    Hi,
    Everytime I connect my iPhone or iPad to my MacBook Pro, the above message appears twice, followed by "Would you like to import them?".
    Also, everytime the phone is connected, it tells me there's a "new photo" to be imported, but it can't import it (an unrecognized format - "/Volumes/Music and Photos/iPhoto Library/Import/Masters/Roll 1_102/IMG_1276.MOV") - does anyone know how I can find that on my phone and delete it?
    For info, I recently moved my photo library to an external drive (maybe I did it wrong?) and have the latest iPhoto '11 software - version 9.3.2 (670.63)
    Many thanks.

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import'
    Inside you'll see a folder called
    Masters
    and within that
    /Roll 1_102/
    There you'll find the file in question: IMG_1276.MOV
    Drag it to the desktop and start iPhoto. All well?

  • Why does "a photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported" message appear every time I open i photo?

    It happens on my iMac, and now that I have transferred some photos from that computer to my MacBook it is happening there, too.  If I say that I don't want to import it, it "saves" it automatically to a file somewhere on the hard drive.  That folder appears empty when opened, so I'm not sure what it's saving.  Every time I open iPhoto it asks me twice before I can proceed, and creates two neat little folders with nothing in them.  If I say that I do want to import the mystery photo, it plunks the nothing that has not been imported in to a Recovered Photos album.  Once again, nothing there.  Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?

  • At launch iPhoto says "8 photos have been found in the iPhoto library...

    A little while back I tried to import some images which were apparently too large for iPhoto to handle. It never imported them but they now seem to be stuck in some mysterious place where I can neither load them nor delete them. I'd like to delete them at this point but don't know how. At launch it says, "8 photos were found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?" but if I say "yes" it hangs forever and a day. Anyone know how I can just get rid of these?
