HT1338 Iphoto is stuck on import and won't stop. How do I force a stop?

iphoto is stuck on import and won't stop when I click 'stop import'. I forced the photo card to eject and it still won't stop preparing to import. How do I force it to stop since there seems to be a problem.

Force Quit is under the Apple Menu

IPhoto is stuck on import and it wont even let me force quit

Quite some time ago, at least a few months, I was importing only a couple photos from my iPhone onto my Macbook. It was taking a long time to complete so I just decided to quit the whole thing entirely. When I tried to close iPhoto it wouldn't let me and a message popped up saying "Please wait for the import to complete." I then tried to force quit, and the same message popped up. Many months have passed and the same message pops up when I try to close iPhoto, and all I can do on iPhoto now is look at the pictures I have on there. I really want to fix this problem because my phone is clogging up with photos and I would like to import them, but I can't. If someone could help, that'd be great. Thanks!

Save and close everything you can and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to quit the loginwindow process.

I updated imovie, which is now totally different. I tried to import videos from iphotos, but the system is now stuck on "import" and it doesn't include iphotos. Clicking on "close" doesn't work. How do I get out of "import"?

Iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!

iphoto is stuck in IMPORT mode and will not QUIT!
please let me know what to do
the iphoto version is 5.0.1

Hi ambrosia,
i am afraid that if you force quit right now you will run into problems opening your library when you next try.
If it is at all possible (an I don't even know if this will work while iPhoto is running) open a finder window and navigate to the iPhoto Library folder.
Highlight the folder and hit Command D to duplicate the folder. I am hoping you can do this before any changes are made to the data files that might corrupt them when you force quit iPhoto.
Once you have the duplicate library, then you can see if you can Force quit iPhoto. You can do this if you see the "force quit" option when you click and hold on the iPhoto icon in the dock. You can also launch Activity Monitor and find iPhoto in the window and choose to force quit it from there.
What kind of camera do you have and how many images and or video clips are you trying to download. Sometimes iPhoto gets stuck on very large video clips and eventually they will download.

iPhoto is no longer available from the Mac App Store. Update to 10.10.3 and use Photos.

Unable to insert photos from iPhoto into a Word document. File "iPhoto Library" is greyed out and won't let me choose it.

Choose it from where? See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto
Have you tried dragging the photo from the iPHoto window into the open Word document window?

Do you have a case on it?
If so, remove and see if it helps.

Hello khalidbadir,
I would be concerned too if my touchscreen was not responding on my iPhone. I recommend following the steps in this article to address an unresponsive touchscreen:

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

It is a Continuity feature. See the quote below from: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone needs to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.

After your computer restarts, back up your data,erase your disk, and try installing again. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again "

I was going to back up my data but now I can't even do that

I dropped my phone on the "ringtone switch" and now it's stuck on silent and the phone does not vibrate either.
Does anyone know how to go around this without taking the phone in for repair and spending $200?

My iPod is stuck on safari and won't turn off or return to home screen

I updated my iPod touch to iOS 6 and since then I've encounntered multiple problems. My iPod is stuck on safari and I can zoom in and zoom out but that's all I am able to do, I can't turn it off nor can I go back to the home screen. I tried letting it go on low battery but it's still on. The only button that works is the volume buttons. Help please?

If the reset is not successful, try the other items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
