IPhoto says it is importing when it isn't

I was importing photos, it had the little bar that would progress as the photos were being imported. The bar was all the way full, as in it should be done importing. I let it sit for an hour and it never stopped so i took my SD card out. It still says its importing and wont let me close iPhoto or import anymore photos, because it says its still importing.

Use the Force Quit command under the Apple Menu.

  • My iPhoto says it's importing pics but I don't know what.

    iPhoto says it's importing but I'm not sure what. What do I do?
    I don't have anything plugged into the computer, it won't let me force quit it and it won't let me restart the computer. I'm not sure what else to try.
    Thanks,

    Either Force restart the computer by holding down the power button a long time after quitting all other applications.
    Or launch a Terminal window (the Terminal.app is in the Utilites folder in Applications). Then copy and paste this command into the Terminal:
    killall iPhoto
    If that does not suffice, try
    killall iPhoto -6
    And if that still does not work, use the ultimate killer:
    killall iPhoto -9

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

  • The memory card is no longer in my MacBook, but iPhoto says "preparing to import" for about an hour now. What do i do and how do i stop it!!!

    When i put my card into the laptop it loaded only half my photos, other ones where just thumbnail of grey stuff with the white dotted outlines. I pressed import thinking it will just recover them when it imports into my library, but when i did the load bar came up and has stayed there for the past hour. I ejected/took out my memory card and iPhoto is still saying "preparing to import". HELP!!!!
    i think my system is Lion OSx

    I tried to force quit but it wouldnt do anything, so i saw on the left side here, about going into Terminal thing and write "killall iPhoto" so it quit this way!
    And there was no error message when they didn't all load!
    BUT now that i try and reopen it i get the rainbow pinwheel of death and its frozen on the normal dashboard!

  • IPhone and iPad saying gmail password wrong when it isn't

    Both my iPhone and iPad are throwing up a message saying that my Gmail password is wrong when it isn't!  Can someone help me please?  I've tried the unlock capchta route but not having any luck.  Fingers crossed that someone can help me please.  Thanks very much!

    Gmail has been having issues with their servers and they are aware of it, I don't believe they've found any solutions. But they have said you can work around it by logging in using Safari.
    If you haven't tried logging itno Gmail on Safari, you should do it, just to ensure your password and user name are correct.
    It's hard to find, but here is the support site for Gmail:

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos because there was a problem downloading an image, how do I fix this?

    Hello! So I have a Sandisk class 10 memory card and whenever I try to import photos onto iPhoto from the memory card it says "IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". I have a Macbook Air and IPhoto 9.5.1.. I've tried a lot of what other people say on other questions like this and it still won't work! I've tried using image capture, creating a new library, and creating a new user to see if it worked there. I have enough space for the photos, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help, Thanks! 

    I had that happen a couple of times because even though the camera displayed the  picture there was a problem with the way it was saved to the chip - and that caused problems with all pictures after it.
    My version of IPhoto (ILIFE09) does show where the error occurs on direct import from the camera -- on the camera deleting the first picture where the error occurred allowed import of the others.   Once it was the first picture, once in the middle.
    Problem happened when I took a second picture before the first one was 100% finished saving.

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos b/c they may be an unrecognized file or the file may not contain valid data. The operation could not be completed. Error code is: ImageCaptureCoreError-9905.

    Unable to download photos from my camera. iPhoto returns an error message that states: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file or the files may not contain valid data). FILE NAME: 100_0490.JPG      REASON: com.apple.ImageCaptureCoreError- 9905.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?  Did not have a problem importing photos under the LEOPARD OS, however, now that I have upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPHOTO app is not performing the imports.

    Are you using Photos, or iPhoto? Maybe you've got a corrupt file on your camera. I would try using the image capture application to import the bad picture to my desktop. If it works and the picture looks ok,  then delete that pic from the camera, then try to import into iphoto again. You can then import the pic it was saying was bad from your desktop.
    Or, try downloading all the pics using image capture and then import from the download folder.

  • Ipod says it's charged when it isn't

    When I put my new Ipod Touch onto my Soundmaster Dock to charge the little battery in the right hand corner says that it's fully charged, however on the slide to unlock screen it shows that the battery is only 30% full. When I put the Ipod on my friends dock it starts charging immediatley, same with on my computer. Is something wrong with my Ipod? Can it be fixed? Or is it just my dock? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    If the iPod charges OK on the computer and your friends dock then your dock is faulty.

  • I cannot import any pictures anymore. Iphoto says "preparing to import" and then nothing happens. I have to force quit and shut the Macbook. Any solution?

    Thanks! I am on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Iphoto 8.1.2

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why does my macbook pro say safari is running when it isn't? I can't download programs because of it?

    I just got this laptop. I tried to download microsoft word and then tried downloading photoshop but both said that safari needs to be closed before the software is installed. But I don't have a Safari browser open at all. I've restarted the computer- still no change. The isn't even wifi internet connection available in my house yet so i haven't even used the internet on the laptop yet.
    Please help?
    I go to college in a week and couple days and my laptop needs to work right!

    so i haven't even used the internet on the laptop yet.
    You need the internet to download.  So how did you download if you have not used the net yet?

  • OS X says boot disc full when it isn't - by a long way

    I ran SuperDuper last night and the backup failed with an unknown error. After, Spotlight didn't find files. I rebooted and at the login screen was given the error message 'backup disc full, delete some files' - problem is, OS X won't boot beyond the starfield screen, so there's no way of deleting files or running the system. I took the drive out and put it in a USB caddy on another machine and ran Disk Utility - it said repairs were needed, so I did this. However, putting it back into the MBP nothing has changed, it still won't boot and insists the disc is full - there is over 180GB free! (I can see this when I mount it on another machine.) Ideas?!

    Thanks guys.. This is sorted.. I guess i missed a right parenthesis in FROM
    Cheers

  • Why does the App Store say Numbers is installed when it isn't?

    Numbers crashed after the last update so I removed it from my Mac but now the App Store keeps saying it is still installed and won't let me re-download it. Any ideas? (I have restarted the computer)
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Sparkoids,
    Perhaps you could try this. In Mac App Store, click on Account, then sign in, and "Reset all warnings for buying and download.' Then sign out and back in and try downloading again.
    (Also, make sure it's the Numbers in your Applications folder that you moved to the trash, not the Numbers that you may have in an iWork '09 subfolder within Applications. You'll probably want to keep the version that's in the subfolder because it's got features that the new Numbers does not have, at least not yet. The two versions for the most part coexist happily on the Mac.)
