I can't shut down or restart, it keeps saying Photos are being imported to the photo library"
Hello
I have a Imac. I can't shut down or restart. It keeps giving me a pop up "Photos are being imported to the photo library". I can't even quit iPhoto.If you open iPhoto again and it won't shut down normally force quit again and do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database. -
I cannot shut down my iMac (for days now) as I get the following message: "Photos are being imported to the photo library."
Now as far as I know there are no photos being imported and even if there were 5 days is crazy. How can I resolve this please?
JLB284Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

Why does my iphoto continue to say " photos are being imported to the photo library" every time I try to close? I have not been imported and this has been keeping me from closing for weeks.
What Operating System are you running?
Mountain Lion there seem to be a glitch that continually ask this on quit.
You have Apple Menu ()>force quit>iPhoto -
I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto. I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." I do not know where the photos would be importing from. How do I get it to proceed?
After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
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.
If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them. -

I can't shut down iphoto, it continues to say "photos are being imported to the library"
I tried to download about 70 photos from my camera and it kept saying 1 photo remaining for over 30 minutes so I removed my camera and just figured there was something wrong with the download. Now, when I try to shut down iphoto it continues to say "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." This has been going on now for 2 hours.
Type Command+Option+Esc and in the Force Quite Applications window select iPhoto and force quit it.

I have tried turning off iclowd and other things that would automatically upload photos but that still didnt work. I can not upgrade my computer because it wants to restart the computer, but iphoto stops the shut down process. It says I need to wait for the download to complete. But I can not find anything uploading. please help.
It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer

My computer is shutting down before fully booting up. I am running the disk utilities program and have this message: Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk . . . disk, and restore your backed-up files. Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
Or you can't boot from it when you do?
You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story. -

I have a mac OS X 10.4.11 and have created a website in iweb08 ... in order to get it to my host site for it to go live I am having difficulty finding a ftp client to get me there. Can anyone suggest what I should do?
Check if any of the below have an older version by contacting the author for your 10.4.11:
http://www.rbrowser.com/
http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu
http://cyberduck.io/
http://panic.com/transmit/
http://fetchsoftworks.com/
Or use Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal to do command line FTP:
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-ftp-from-terminal-to-transfer-m ac-files.navId-400509.html
Upgrading to 10.6.8 should still give you mostly the same compatibility as 10.4.11. Upgrading to 10.7 and above won't.
