How do you clear the  Last Import file?

Every time I import new photos, previous imports are duplicated. And for every photo I import, a new import file is created. If I import 10 photos - one at a time - I end up with 10 folders, the last of which contains all 10 photos. I then have to manually delete the previous 9. I know there must be an easier way! And yes, I'm a new convert.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Every time I import new photos, previous imports are duplicated.
Either delete the photos from your camera card (using the camera Format command is recommended) after importing or click the hide photos previously imported square in the import window
And for every photo I import, a new import file is created.
Please explain - you should not be looking at files within the iPhoto library - the only information that you should be using is that displayed by iPhoto - no file information is available or needed via iPhoto
If I import 10 photos - one at a time - I end up with 10 folders, the last of which contains all 10 photos.
Again importing does not create folders within iPhoto - folders can only be created by user action and folders do not contain photos - they contain other folders or albums
If you are looking with the finder - do not. There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto library.
I then have to manually delete the previous 9. I know there must be an easier way! And yes, I'm a new convert.
So you need to explain more clearly - I know that language can be a barrier but since we can not see anything exact, clear and detailed descriptions using standard English and iPhoto terms is very important - and do not use the finder to make any changes of any sort to the iPhoto library

The last import is not a file - it is an album showing the photos last imported - albums do not duplicate photos - they point to them and take virtually no space

  • How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu?

    How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu? (ie. cache)

    I don't have PSEv.13, but in my current version, and in the two that I had before, the behavior is/was identical.
    As far as I know, the only way to purge an entry in the list of recently edited files via the File menu, is to delete the picture file or send it to the recycle bin.
    Perhaps someone will come along with additional information.
    "The File option dose not have an option for FILE-MORE-PURGE CACHE. as Adobe suggested."
    Where is this referenced suggestion?? On-line? In a book or manual?

  • How do you change the last opened date in Lion?

    In many screens the files are organized automatically by last opened date.  This information is not available when you click command info on the individual file, however, if you list out the files and click on the option to show last opened on the row on the top you will see this information.
    From time to time it is useful to change the creation and modification dates to move where files are displayed in various windows.  While there are utilities and articles about changing the creation and last modified date using third party software or the terminal, I have not been able to find any way to change the last opened date.  This is useful if you wish to hide a file you recently opened so that another user can't just find it as one of the last opened files. 
    When I googled this question all the solutions using terminal either with touch -t or touch -mt commands changed the creation and modification dates, but did not affect the last opened date.
    Anyone have a solution to this?

    Thank you MacNix!!!!!

  • How do you clear the download queue?

    I've reached the 3,333 track limit on my device (Android phone) and keep getting the message every time I go switch off offline mode, because I have tracks queued to download but obviously can't.How can I clear the download queue, to stop the message (and download different tracks after I undownload some others)?

    I've ran into that buying a movie. You cannot cancel it. It has to finish downloading then delete it. I tried emailing apple, they told me to do it that way. I also heard they can clear your queue(apple), but that didn't happen to me. Sorry, I looked everywhere as well. I would buy a movie on my iPad to watch on atv and I had to do it that way. I just purchase from tv now and download later on MacBook or iPad if I want it.

  • How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

    Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

    Hello,
    That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
    I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
    Thanks and have a good day,
              Trevor

  • WRT54G - How do you clear the log files?

    How does one "Clear" both the Incoming/Outgoing log files?
    Thanks.

    Turn the logs off and click save.  When it is confirmed that your settings were saved, go back into the logs and turn them back on.  Make sure you save your changes.  That should clear your log files.
    I hope that helps.

  • How do you stop the last file from opening on launch?

    InDesign CS5 insists on re-opening the last file I had open everytime I launch the app. I have tried making sure that all documents are closed before quitting ID with no success. I have looked through the prefs but can't seem to locate anything that changes this. I am on a Mac running Lion (10.7.4) and have looked for an OS level solution but haven't found anything and no other app is behaving like this. I did search in these forums and haven't found an answer.
    Anyone out there have any idea or is this an isolated occurrence? Thanks.

  • How do you restore the Mail accounts, files, etc.?

    Mail was working fine until an error came up that said the Home folder was full. I cleaned up the drive and have additional free space. I also removed the Envelope file as directed in another post. Mail will will start but it wants me to start over. Last night, I backed up the entire "User" folder on an external hard drive. How do I restore mail?

    Mail will will start but it wants me to start over.
    Does this mean you are prompted to enter email account information again or you are prompted to import mailboxes when first launching Mail after removing the Envelope Index file?
    If the former, did you also remove the Mail.app preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) out of the Preferences folder at Home > Library > Preferences?

  • How do you clear the email history for addresses on the Z10 ?

    I would like to know how to delete the history of names on the BBZ10 please.
    You know like on outlook when you dont want an address to appear again you bring up the address and then highlight it and then hit the delete button and its gone from your history for good.
    Well how do you do it with BB's?
    I have email addresses that I have deleted from the contacts list and yet they still come up when i start to type up another email?
    Surely this must be a no brainer but I'm missing something.
    I used to have this same issue with my Torch and my 9800 before that.
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem for me please?
    I hope my explanation has been clear enough as well.
    Appreciate the solution greatly.
    thanks,

  • In iOS 7, how do you clear the "Missed" section of the Notification Center?

    The "Missed" seciton doesn't have the Clear button like the "Recent" seciton does, and I can't seem to get rid of the missed calls in that list. I even went as far as to erase all my missed and recent phone calls in the Phone list, but the notification center won't clear out.

    I've been trying to grok the new notification center on ios7 with Apple so notoriously light with the documentation so here goes:
    - missed notifications (the rightmost tab in ios7 notification center) collates all of your notifications that you got when the phone was locked (the ones you get on the lock screen only) so that you dont have to worry about unlocking the phone and losing those.
    - they sorted in reverse chronological order from newest to oldest
    - 'missed' only covers the last 24 hours so the oldest notification you will see is 24 hours old. this is seemingly by design and i guess its logical to assume people will check their phone once every 24 hours.
