IPhoto message at startup

I imported a lot of photos from my external hard drive to iPhoto. Now every time I startup iPhoto I get a message "iPhoto has detected a photo that has not been imported yet," or something like that. I tell it no, I don't want it imported and it comes back with "iPhoto has put this photo in a recovery directory (again a paraphrase)."
Can some one help me get it to stop trying to import? And how to delete anything that has been stored in a directory somewhere?
Help is much appreciated.

Quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (by default in the pictures folder) - find the folder names import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - launch iPhoto and everything will be ok
1 - Quit iPhoto and
2 - right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (by default in the pictures folder) - in the finder look in the source pane on the left for the pictures folder and open it and then right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents
3 - find the folder names import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - this is a folder in the iPhoto library - do not move or change anything else in the iPhoto library
4 - launch iPhoto and everything will be ok

  • Remove messages from startup

    I am trying to figure out how to disable Messages from startup completely. It is not listed in the user account "Login Items", probably because it is teid directly to to my Apple ID that is also configured with my user account.
    I do not want to remove my Apple ID because I want it established for actions that I initiate. But I DO NOT want Messages to open automatically and un-initiated. Startup of Messages is MY choice. I want to choose whether or not it is open and accepting messages without having to manually quit the application every time I start my machine.
    How can I accomplish this?

    Hi Wazatron,
    I notice that the whole middle section is in fact greyed out.
    This happens when all the Buddy List type accounts including Bonjour are Logged out (or not Enabled).
    I have not hidden the details of this one as my AIM name is quite well known anyway.
    The list goes down further are there are potentially 10 non iMessages (buddy List type ) Accounts in my Messages including the Bonjour one.
    Once the middle section has greyed out the settings don't apply.
    Enable the Bonjour account (you don't have to display it using the Window Menu).
    Then uncheck the setting then re-tick the box again.
    This is one of those things that iChat did  and you have to set some of the iChat type things to keep the functions.
    Many of the menu items are like this such as Buddies > Add Buddy  - you need a Buddy list that Buddies can be added to for this to work.  It cannot be used to add a Contact to the Contacts app. (i.e. the iMessages side).

  • Send a mail message at startup?

    Is there a way to send a mail message when startup (or ANY user login) occurs? I'm thinking as a traceable security measure for a PowerBook.
    ... Al

    As you can tell, I've never done this...
    It's not your fault. I keep telling myself I have to be clearer, but I just ratlle on sometimes...
    AlsG4:~ user1$ mailq -bp
    postqueue: fatal: Queue report unavailable - mail
    system is down
    Yes, now everything is under the control of launchd, and the mail system went down when it was unneeded. Enter
    sudo launchctl start org.postfix.master
    and then mailq, and see if there's anything in the mail queue.
    and I don't understand the "cat the input back"?
    Maybe too much to ask on this discussion board.
    I'm sorry, that's me lapsing into geekspeak. In shell scripting, we sometimes shorten "concatenate" into "cat". What it means is that the symbol "<<" (or ">>" the other way) is used to redirect input into a program. I used the symbol "!" as a delimiter for the input, but you can use any symbol. Just pick something you're not likely to include in the text. So the line
    mail -I -s "Test Message" [email protected] <<!
    simply means "take everything that follows up to the next "!" as input for the mail program. You won't find that in the mail man page because it's a shell scripting technique.
    I'm really sorry I get unclear. I was doing this stuff 25 years ago, and I just get excited when someone asks about it. It's so cool it's still around.

  • I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" but it isn't

    I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" and my space on the HD fluctuates every second. I have 113 Gbs of free space, but it disappears within seconds and reappears again and repeats.

    Yes you should back it up.
    Do you have the OS 10.6 disk? You will need it. If you don't have it, you can get one here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    The repair disk procedure does not erase anything on the drive. But before you go any further you should back it up.

  • What do you do when message is "startup Disk Full"?

    what do you do when message is "startup Disk Full"?

    You must Move or trash some really big GB+ sized files right away, before OSX destroys itself.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't lately.
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

    And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

  • I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

    I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how.  Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

    Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
    Open Finder
    Go > Go To Folder...
    Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
    Delete All Folders Named Kodak
    Open System Preferences
    Go to "Security & Privacy"
    Click the lock and enter your admin password
    Click the Firewall Tab
    Go to "Firewall Options..."
    Find KodakAiO
    Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
    Click "Show in Finder"
    Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
    Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
       or
    Open Finder
    Go > Go To Folder...
    Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
    Delete All Folders Named Kodak
    I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

  • Im getting a message at startup that my HP windows 7 is not genuine.

    IM GETTING A MESSAGE AT STARTUP THAT MY WINDOWS 7 IS NOT GENUINE.

    Ah the Windows Genuine Disadvantage.... where it's the paying customers that get shafted with silly "activation" issues....
    I guess "the industry" is largely overdoing this and in the end they will be shooting themselves in the foot. While I would have bought some stuff from MS and Adobe (Visual Studio and Photoshop), their activation schemes completely put me off so I went with open source stuff like Code::Blocks and GIMP. Not because they are "free" (I can afford and I do pay for my software) but because they don't have any stupid activation scheme to deal with. I guess that after getting shafted several times more and more people will be making this choice and after getting familiar with Linux-world software, in the end the transition to Linux the OS would be an obvious and easy thing to do.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 error message on startup "Printer or ink system problem"

    My networked HP Officejet 8600 ran out of black ink...changed cartridge, then error message that required the C,Y, & M cartridges also be replaced...done...now get a startup "problem printer or ink system" message. 
    Have reseated the printhead and cartridges multiple times.  Same message at startup. 
    Suggestions please!

    Not resolved...Did all items...still got message (as so many others have also).
    Not solved...unhappy that this occured the month after warranty
    expired...then read the many, many other experiences of others
    that seem much too similair to my situation...makes me feel that HP
    potentially built-in a failure of this nature...ordered a new printhead.
    If this fixes the situation and I get a similar happening 13 months from now...
    my ambulance chasing relative may have great grounds for the career making
    class action....

    Remove that application from the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences, or install Palm Desktop.
