"Last Import" number won't reset to 0

"Last Import" number won't reset to 0
It used to go back to 0, each time I import something from my iPhone.
Now the number is going up, and wont reset.
Any Ideas?
Thank you!

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Help. I downloaded the OS lion. Then I imported some photos with the "iPhoto". But I see only the photos in the "last import" but I can not see in the library or photos of events, although they are marked as a number.

  • Manually Reset AddressBook Last Import list

    I don't understand why Apple has not fixed this silly bug after so long, probably because there is not enough complaints about it, but here is a solution for those who needs to migrate multiple address books for users who are migrating to Mac.
    This is for removing multiple addresses from the last import list, to remove a single address it has been reported that saving the address entry after any change will remove it from the Last Import list.
    All address data in AddressBook 5 seems to be stored in a sqlite datafile in
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    The instructions provided here works for AddressBook 5.02, I don't know about other versions.
    Remember to make a backup copy for the address book data file before proceeding with the following!!!
    To remove addresses from the last import list, get a sqlite GUI for example SQLite Manager add on for firefox.
    Open the AddressBook datafile and run this sql statement
    update ZABCDRECORD set ZDISPLAYFLAGS = NULL where ZDISPLAYFLAGS = 128
    the addresses will now be removed from the Last Import list.
    Now you can reset the Last Import list after adding multiple last imported addresses into a group and move on to the next group of addresses to import.
    If only the AddressBook Last Import can work as it should!

    Last Import of addressbook... mine is not clearing like many others I've seen and I'm migrating into addressbook and want to bring in groups from my nudc... here is what I did to get my groups in...
    1. clean up addressbook- got rid of any ungrouped entries
    2. import my vcf group... now in addressbook it's mixed with junk not clearing from "last import" so I can't just move them to the new group...
    3. BUT all these last imported are in the smart "no group"... so I select all from that smart group and drag into the new group and voila.
    4. I ignore the last import group... I don't want to mess w/sql file cleanups etc...
    I never noticed a problem w/last import not clearing before... pain in the butt an needs fixing by apple.

  • Wrong count on "last import"

    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.1) and have been noticing that the item count next to my "last import" has been wrong in at least one of my iPhoto libraries.  It changes each time I import, but it's never correct.  It always shows higher than it should.  I can highlight all of the items in the right-hand pane and see the correct count at the top (showing the number of items selected), but the item count in the left is incorrect.
    Any ideas about what's causing the incorrect count? 

    Run Software Update. iPhoto is at 9.1.3 now.
    As to the count issue:
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

  • My latest photos are missing, however they are not uploading into the PhotoStream.. (very slowly), they are not in the last import or in events... where are they ?

    I uploaded around 200 photos into iphoto, I worked on these photos breifly, cropping and deleting some, then iphoto crashed.. and when I relaunched it the photos were missing from both the events section and the last import showed nothing.  I also looked in the Trash for the deleted photos, and that was empty too..
    Now the photos are reappearing in PhotoSteam, all be it very slowly... I cant seem to find the orginals anywhere... I have tried to reoganise the events by ascending and descending to see if they are hiding... but I am unable to see any evidence of them.
    Can anyone help.  My computer is about 1 week old, however I did take all the photos from my Mac Notebook, which I think has taken some dodge

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • How to delete empty Last Import albums on Ipad2

    This is both a question and a partial solution to anyone who has found empty Last Import albums on their Ipad2 after upgrading to IOS 5.1.  I ended up with three Last Import albums on my Ipad under the Photos App after the upgrade to 5.1 and Iphoto app.
    I could not delete them no matter what I tried.  Even turned off Photo sync in Itunes and had it remove all photos from the Ipad and the empty folders are still there.
    I ended up trying a round about way of getting rid of the empties.  I reasoned that the Camera Connection kit had created this mess and maybe it could fix it.
    Solution:   (Only practical with a few empty folders)
    Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
    Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad.  Import the images but keep them on the card.
    Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.
    Delete photos from Iphoto.
    Repeat several times and you should notice that each time one more Last Import album vanishes from the Ipad.
    Hope this helps someone else with this problem and Apple comes out with a better solution to this.

    I found a solution! I added a comment over on the shimworld blog (http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/how-to-remove-empty-photo-import-event s-on-your-ipad-2/#comment-18392), I'll repost it here:
    I ran into this same issue on my new iPad(3rd gen) after upgrading from iPad 2, I had a few hundred empty events(it took at least 30s of scrolling as fast as I could to reach the bottom). I use the camera connection kit as well as the EyeFI app to import photos constantly so it was a bit of a mess. I’m doing a road trip to SF area soon and needed space for new photos so I need to figure something out. After a bunch of digging around on the internet and looking into tools from my earlier jailbreaking days, I found a solution to do a full reset on the Photos.app. This does NOT require a jailbreak!
    First I imported all photos to my mac using Image Capture. Then I turned off iCloud’s PhotoStream, turned off photo syncing in iTunes and let a the iPad do a full sync and backup. Next I ran DiskAid and deleted the photo related folders under the File System -> Media area(see below). This removed EVERYTHING from the Photos.app. Then I rebooted the iPad. The Photos.app was empty just like on a new device! I snapped a couple pics with the camera and it created the camera roll, I turned PhotoStream back on, synced some photos from iTunes. Everything seems to be working great now, just like new!
    BEWARE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL PHOTOS STORED ON YOUR DEVICE in Photos.app!!! MAKE A BACKUP!!!!
    Connect iOS device with USB and fire up DiskAid. In DiskAid click File System, then click Media. READ WARNING and accept.
    Delete these folders:
    PhotoData (this has all the photos, database, etc synced from iTunes)
    DCIM (this is the camera roll)
    Photos (I think this is just the data to determine which iTunes library its synced with)
    PhotoStreamsData (iCloud Photo Stream data)
    Reboot iPad(probably not required but doesn’t hurt)
    Enjoy a fully reset Photos.app!
    DiskAid: I used v5.12 on my Mac Mini(10.7.3)

  • Photo library shows multiple "Last Import" albums after upgrade

    Following my upgrade to IOS6, the photo library now shows 3 blank Last Import albums, the ones created when you use the camera import connector. I tried to reset photo syncs to correct the problem, but they still remain.
    Having imported an event, one of the 3 Last Import albums is now populated with pictures. The issue remains that there is the clutter of the two blank ones which seem to linger and probably will always be there unless there is some way to reset this.
    So the question is, has anyone else seen this issue and how can it be corrected. I have not seen any other similar postings on this problem.

    And then I finally located the answer and although a bit of a pain, this corrected the problem.
    Solution:   (Only practical with a few empty folders)
    Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
    Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad.  Import the images but keep them on the card.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • Why can't i see my last import!? i just imported them and now they don't show up it was about 1500 pictures and now i'm afraid i've lost them. any one experience this?

    Please help me find my last import! i just erased everything on my iphone because it came up as imported and now it doesnt appear under the last import tab!

  • My import wizard won't work

    My import wizard won't work, when it goes to the selection, I select to import from internet explorer, hit next and it just sits there and does nothing.

    Let's start with your wireless router. I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • IPhoto constantly flips back to Last Import folder

    When viewing photos in iPhoto v9.4.2 (710.42), no matter which folder I'm in, my view arbitrarily switches back to "Last Import".
    Any reason why?  Any way to fix this?
    Thanks
    Annoyed...

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does do the following: Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If the problem isn't replicated in the new library then your current library is the culprit. In that case  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • AE won't reset, light is steady yellow, flashes green every so often

    My AE won't reset... I've tried soft, hard, and factory default resets. All it does is come back on with a steady yellow light that eventually turns green for a second, then goes back to steady yellow forever. If i let it sit unplugged for a long time, I can get it to do a reset, but once i restart it after changing the settings, it starts the problem all over again.
    Anybody got a clue???

    Marc, I can't give you any firm advice except to carry around the MagSafe adapter with you for a while.
    If the battery charge percentage isn't dropping while you are using the computer plugged in, it seems the computer is properly running off the power adapter.
    The display of percentage charge may or may not be correct. It's possible that all is OK and that the battery is good and can be recharged. Remember that a battery is a disposable item, with a finite number of charge cycles. You can check the capacity of the battery from About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Power.
    The only way you are going to find out for sure is to run the computer off battery power, perhaps with another calibration cycle.
    If you subsequently find that the battery, after being discharged, won't charge then there's a problem. Time to call Apple.

  • Dates with scrolling and Last Import

    There are two features that I liked in iPhoto that I'm not seeing in Aperture 3. One is that when scrolling through my photos, in iPhoto the date of the pictures currently visible would show up, which was very nice for figuring out where you were in the photo stream. The other is that one of the "smart albums" in iPhoto was "last import"; is there a way to create a "last import" album in A3? I thought that "sessions" would be the answer, but it looks like that creates an album for a specific date.
    Thanks.

    The date HUD-while-scrolling is a nice feature in iPhoto. Aperture doesn't have it. You can group Projects while browsing the Project view by year (click the grouping icon on the tool strip). I missed this too when I moved my Library from iPhoto, but not having it hasn't slowed me at all.

    Yep. Also not in Aperture. Two work-arounds. Select the one which gets you closest to what you want.
    - Make a Smart Album which filters by "In the last 1/2/4 day/week/month". Do this by adding the Rule "Date→Is in the last→1→Week". You can specify a different number and duration unit. Note that this goes by the date of the photo, not the date of the import.
    - Add "Import Session" to your List view metadata. Once it is added, you can click the column to sort by "Import Session" or select "Import Session" from the drop-down list. Once added, you can return to Browser view. That's been useful for me, and is the closest I've been able to get to "Last Import".

  • Import new photos into iphoto, browser not seeing recent "last import"

    I use several web based applications that ask to upload photos. I go into browse and iphoto and for some reason it won't pull the last imported photos - it is as if the browser is caching the old events and last import. When I exit FireFox and iPhoto and restart my machine it will see them. I must be missing a plug in or something - any ideas?????
