IPhoto keeps trying to import the same 42 files each time

I imported thousands of pictures from a formerly Windows based backup external hard drive. Everything went well except with 42 pictures. Every time I bring up iPhoto, it tells me that these 42 pictures were not imported and then it ask me if I wish to import them. I click yes and it attempts and then says it was unable to import them and has now placed in them a recovered folder in the pictures folder under finder. That would be okay except that it does it every time. I just removed 14 folders of the same files. If I click No it creates a recovered folder within the iPhoto album section, How do I stop this from happening? I just got off the phone with Apple Care and they were no help. All he told me to do was rebuild iPhoto database. We are talking about 15,000 pictures here that have been put in specific folders and certain albums. I do not want to go through that process again. Oh, I am doing this on a new iMac I just purchased. Any suggestions?

this is one of the very few times when the answer is to delete something form your iPhoto library
Quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library and choose the show package contents option - look in the iPhoto library for a folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else - launch iPhoto and everything will be ok
Open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them into iPhoto - and then drag the import(ing) folder to the trash and empty it

If so where can I download the latest creative cloud?

Why does EO always try to import the same three files?

Whenever I open Elements Organizer 12.1 it is attempting to import files. It always finds the same three files and then reports them already in the catalog. If I import files from my camera or card reader or folder, in addition to the files on the selected device it attempts to import the same three files that are already in the catalog. I have seen this message hundreds of times. How do I make it stop attempting to import these three files?
I have tried deleting the three files from the catalog. The first time I opened EO it found the three files and imported them. The next time I opened EO it attempted to import the same three files and reported them already in the catalog. Arrgh...

Yeah depends on the source but generally MPG hasn't ever been supported in Final Cut Pro- as Tom says you want to convert it to ProRes elsewhere before bringing into FCP X.

I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

My iPhoto keeps trying to import photos and can't use it

Having a block with iphoto, wont stop importing and cant use, what happening

I have no idea what your issue actually is here, but I'll take a guess: Have you tried force quitting the app?
Make a back up first of course.

Hello, I'm having trouble twit firefox. When I open it my home page opens for a second then disappears and fire fox keeps trying to load the same page.

This problem started last night, I have uninstalled firefox and re installed it, but the same problem persists.

hello davidbutterly, it sounds like a theme or extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too. in case it's working correctly, please go to firefox > addons > extensions and disable/remove any extension that look suspicious/you didn't install intentionally or that might interfere with the tab loading behaviour.

Importing the same audio file in several session

I use a sfx of someone walking around in several sessions. In one session I modified the sound to slow it down, but not the original. But now, each time I try to import the original sound, it's the modified sound that is imported, not mthe original, and I can't seem to be able to find a way around this.
Any hints ?

How are you doing the import? If you're sure you didn't modify the original, it should be on your hard drive somewhere, and you can just drag it into the new session from the Finder.
Edits you make in the audio window are destructive, so you would have to be sure you told Logic to make a copy when you slowed it down.

On my 5th replacement phone for the same exact problem each time

I would just like to first of all say that I am the least bit satisfied with Verizon Wireless. I know that this is not the scenario for every customer, but you guys have literally made having a cell phone really really difficult and really really depressing due to being phoneless constantly, awaiting for the next replacement.
I've had 4 replacement Incredible 2's, and I am currently awaiting my 5th replacement.
Each time I get one of these phones, the charge port stops working after a months use. The first couple of times I assumed it was my own fault that the charge port stopped working, now I am considering differently. For the past 2 replacements, I have gotten rid of my car charger and only charged my phone on my nightstand at night to ensure that I was not wiggling the charge port around. DESPITE this, the charger port STILL stopped working, and I am now phone less for the 5th time. And I've had 3 of these replacements in 3-4 months.
There have been 5 different occasions where I have had to inconveniently rearrange my plans for the next few days according to the fact of me not having a phone because the phones you send me don't last more than a months time.
This time, I am having to put back a vacation that I was expecting to leave for tomorrow morning. My phone stopped charging last night, and I am now phoneless for the weekend until Verizon Wireless can ship me another phone Monday.
I should not have to deal with this kind of inconvenience if I am going to choose you as my wireless provider.
Especially not 5 different times for all the same reason when you as a company could of fixed this problem long ago by sending me a better phone. Verizon Wireless should honor their loyal paying customers. The only thing Verizon Wireless is doing for me right now is making my life difficult.
I want some sort of compensation or a resolve to this situation. I am beyond dissatisfied.

roadpup27, having multiple replacement devices is no fun! I'm sorry you have to endure this experience with your phone. I would like to help with your issue and ensure you that we do not anticipate our certified like new phones having issues. They go through a 100-point check and in most cases work just as well or better than a new phone because they have updated software. I hope your replacement phone works for you so that you do not miss any events or be delayed. Although we can not compensate you for your phone issues, we will continue to replace your phone until you have a working device if the phone is under warranty. Please keep us posted.

Have restarted my computer multiple times, because of ios5 and it is still freezing at the same loading spot each time of the download. this is my 10th time attempting at updating the software

i have plugged in my phone attempting at the new ios5 download multiple times and to begin with it claims to me that it cannot restore my ipod but gives no reason. but i continues with the download, and now i have a blank iphone with no data on it at all, says to plug it into itunes, so i do and it freezes in the same spot about a tenth of the way full of the bar below the apple logo.

Every time I click the Firefox icon a panel says it is already in use and to clear it I need to re-boot, after re-booting the same message appears each time

I cannot get into Mozilla as the panel appears each time to say it is running

Must be the "hang at exit" problem.
