I get a message to import photos every time I start IPhoto 08 even though..

the images have been imported. It keeps importing 61 of the same images over and over. The message reads, "*61 Photos have been found in the IPhoto library that were not imported*", "would you like to import them?" This messgage is annoying as heck and I would like to make it stop! Any suggestions?

Dentaldawg:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto Library package like this and look for a folder with Import in the file name. Move it to the desktop and launch iPhoto again. If the message stops you can then drag that folder into the open iPhoto window and import. If they are duplicates you'll get an option to not import them.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

    i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

    There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
    What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
    Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

  • Every time i start iPhoto I must repair library. Is there a permanent fix?

    looking to fix a problem in iphoto 11. Every time i start it says there are inconsistencies with my library. Do I want to repair? What is the problem? Is there a permanent 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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    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. .

  • IPhoto automatically displaying latest imported photos every time

    Hi, I have noticed for a while that iPhoto always automatically comes back to the "latest imported" photo album whenever I come back to the iPhoto window. Does any one knows what that means and how to stop it?
    For instance when I go to another app (let's say safari) while I am modifying a picture, when I come back to iPhoto it switches directly to the "latest import" album. This is really annoying !
    Thanks for your help !
    Louis

    Yes. Close iPhoto, go to the Picture folder and open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    Look in the Auto Import folder and move any items in it to the Desktop.  Launch iPhoto and it should work as expected.

  • I keep getting a message asking me to download the newest version of firefox even though i have the newest version, is there a fix for this?

    When i first start Fire-Fox i keep getting a message telling me i need to upgrade it. Problem is i have the newest version already. I have checked repeatedly and have the newest version on my desktop already.

    You are using Firefox 2.0
    Latest version is Firefox 3.6 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/)

  • Firefox repeatedly asks to use 3 specific fonts on my backup drive every time I start up Firefox even if I tell it not to ask me again.

    I am using Firefox 3.6.10 on a iMac with a LaCie backup drive attached. Every time I launch Firefox, it asks me in 3 seperate pop-up boxes if it can use the following fonts on the backup drive.(Quick Type Mono, SvttTwo ITC TT, and SvtyTwo OS ITC). It claims they are not installed on the backup drive. Every time, I check the box "Don't ask me again" after allowing it to use those fonts but I still get the 3 pop-up windows upon a new launch of Firefox. I will also add that I clone my iMac hard drive to the backup drive so the backup drive should have everything the actual hard drive has including fonts. This is very frustrating so hope someone can help. Thanks!

  • Why do I get an AVG Resident Shield Alert every time I start FF 13.0.1?

    The alert references tracking cookie 2o7, found in my default profile, \cookies.sqlite.
    I don't really want to add that cookie to my Exceptions because I don't want that cookie on my computer.
    If I ignore the cookie, FF 13 just repeats the error on every start-up.
    I didn't have this the first time I installed FF13. So is this a FF problem or an AVG problem? I'm using AVG 2012 free version.

    You can disable that in the AVG settings.

  • Message asking to improt album every time I open iPhoto

    I got a message asking me to import an new album to iphoto every time I start iPhoto. No matter i click "yes" or "No", the message still exist when I open iPhoto the next time.
    I also found that every time I open iPhoto, there is a new "recovery folder" created.

    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.

  • How to stop an error message that pops up every time I open Safari. It reads...Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin PithHelmet .As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.

    How do I stop this error message from popping up every time I start up Safari ?
    Error message reads...
    Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin Pithhelmet 3.0b6 (v 3006)
    As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.
    I have removed every trace of Pithhelmet, (via spotlight)
    Trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer to no avail.
    It just  keeps keepin on.
    Thanks

    In the past I was able to bypass the message by editing the Info.plist file and updating the MaxBundleVersion variable, but not so this time around. As of today the developer seems to indicate there's no immediate fix becuase of how Safari 5.1 handles multiprocess page rendering. Probably best to stay tuned to Mike's website for now.

  • Every time I start Firefox, why do I get a Google sign-in tab?

    I’m using Firefox for Mac vets. 34.0.5, and I get that extra tab that opens every time I start Firefox in addition to the Home page I specified in Preferences. How do I stop that from happening?

    Type '''about:config'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type '''browser.newtab.url'''
    This tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''browser.startup.homepage'''.

    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
