Iphoto shows a window asking me to import pictures every time I open it

Every time that i open IPHOTO a window appears asking me to import 7 pictures that haven't been imported, if i import the pictures it will create a folder of recovered pictures with not content, if i select the option not import the pictures it will create a folder but this time in the folder of images, every time i open iphoto a folder will be created as "photo library recovered pictures _2" or 3 and so on but there wont have any content. how can i stop this?

I'm very new to iPhoto and this forum and have just found this post, which seems to be describing the same problem I now have. I have tried your advice (I think!) although I can't seem to find any reference to 'show package contents' - I can find the folder called 'recovered photos1', then '..2', then '...3', etc, as it creates a new one every time I open iPhoto. I drag that to the desktop, launch iPhoto, and it asks me the same question about importing photos (does this twice) before going away. Then I drag the folders into the trash, empty trash, all good, but the problem continues whenever I open iPhoto and we start back at 'recovered photos1' all over again. I am likely not following your instructions properly - any chance that you could explain it again for a complete novice?
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help you could provide,
Andy

How to I stop Adobe Application Manager appearing and asking me to sign in every time I open a Creative Cloud application?

I'm all up to date and I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my Adobe software. I'm on a Mac using the latest version of OSX. The issue has been happening since I switched to a different Adobe ID about a week ago.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I've tried removing 'OPM.db' a few times now, restarting etc but I still have the same problem. The Application Manager still appears every time I open a CC app.
It appears twice when I open a CC application - the first time it asks me to sign in. Upon signing in, I get a 'Thank you' message. Then after the application has loaded it appears again telling me 'Don't let a good thing come to an end' and gives me the option to either 'License the software' or 'Start Trial'. I choose 'License the software' and I have to sign in again. I then get another 'Thank you' message!

Windows 8.1 explorer.exe crashes EVERY time I open a window

I upgraded from win8 home yesterday and notices I was getting errors when using windows to copy files from my laptop to computer over my wifi.
Today, I was working fine and started gettingMicrosoft Visual C++ Runtime Library "Runtime Error" and explorer restarted, I rebooted and then on all accounts I logged into, I got no error messages - just explorer restarting. I was unable
to open any folders.
The event viewer states:

Explorer has however started running properly since I ran C:\ from the run prompt. Any folders I click on seem ok and now I can open explorer normally.
Please help

Hello,
Please download this
ZIP file and extract it. Once extracted, double-click the REG file to import it into the registry. Once done, this will enable creation of crash dumps when Explorer crashes. So, the next time this happens. you should fine a DMP file on your desktop. Compress
and attach the file here. Having the file will help us identifying the cause of the issue.

Hi, I keep getting asked for my apple id every time I open an app.

Thank you

Try going to Settings > Store and make sure your apple ID is entered in at the bottom. If not enter it in and save it.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

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.

Why does "a photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported" message appear every time I open i photo?

It happens on my iMac, and now that I have transferred some photos from that computer to my MacBook it is happening there, too. If I say that I don't want to import it, it "saves" it automatically to a file somewhere on the hard drive. That folder appears empty when opened, so I'm not sure what it's saving. Every time I open iPhoto it asks me twice before I can proceed, and creates two neat little folders with nothing in them. If I say that I do want to import the mystery photo, it plunks the nothing that has not been imported in to a Recovered Photos album. Once again, nothing there. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?

Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

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'.

Multiple imports of empty albums every time I open iPhoto.

Every time I open iPhoto it prompts me with, "A Photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported. Would you like to import it?" It asks me this question twice, and I answer with Yes twice, and then each time I have a new album that says Recovered Photos, but there's nothing in them. If I click No, it creates a folder elsewhere on my computer and it gets frustrating have to go and keep deleting these empty folders and albums. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto library package in the Finder by Control-clicking on it and selecting "Show Package Contents" from the drop down menu. Then look for a folder titled "Import" or "Importing" and move it to the Desktop. DO NOT move or rename any other item in the library.
Launch iPhoto and the message should be gone. Look in the Import folder to see if it's a photo you want to keep. If so drag it into iPhoto to import. Otherwise delete the folder and contents.

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Do you want to import it? Yes or No" Any suggestions?

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

How to remove a small black window that appears on the upper right corner of my iMac and covers everything behind it every time I open iPhoto?

Every time I open iPhoto on my iMac a small black window appears in the upper right of my desk top and covers everything behind it, including iPhoto. The window says "Blocked Plug-In". I cannot move it, delete it, force quit it, etc. I have quit iPhoto, but the black window remains. I have restarted and shut down the computer, but when I open iPhoto the black window comes back. I have right and left clicked on the black window, but I cannot get rid of it. How do I stop the black window from appearing on my screen?

No problem
