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'.
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.

  • 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.

    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

  • Same message every time I open iPhoto - "use iPhoto when you connect..."

    Every time I open iPhoto 6 (using a MacBook Pro) I am asked: "Do you want to use iPhoto when you connect your digital camera?" I respond "yes," only to be presented with the same question the next time I open the program. Any thoughts on why that might be and how I can stop it from asking (and remember that I want to use it with my camera)?
    MacBook Pro (Dual 2.0Ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the suggestion. I gave that a try, but no luck. Turns out, though, my main volume was corrupted--most likely related to running the public beta of Parallels Workstation (great software, but there's a reason they tell you not to run betas on production computers ). I repaired my drive using Disk Utility and that seems to have done the trick.

  • Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???

    Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???  My plug are asking me to re-register them too.  This is annoying.  Please help!!!!!

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

  • 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. 

  • Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

    Can anyone help me.  I have iPhoto 9.2 and  Mac OS X 10.7.2.
    Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
    I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem.  I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
    Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
    On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin".  Does this help with an answer?

    I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Every time I open iPhoto I get the loading cursor and nothing loads

    Every time I open iPhoto I get the loading cursor and nothing loads. I have tried to sync photos from my iPhone, from my iPad and nothing works. I do not want to restore my whole computer to a backed-up version because I have been using the other applications just fine. How do I restore just my iPhoto and not lose any pictures?

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager 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, 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 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?

  • 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*.

    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • ITunes Asks For My Password Every Time It Opens

    Running Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and iTunes 12.0.1.26
    Every time I open iTunes, it asks me for my password. It asks for it usually four times:
    -to enable automatic downloads (twice, not always in succession)
    - to enable iTunes Radio
    - And to enable downloads
    I've asked this before with no success and no solutions.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Like Jassy, this is a relatively new issue. I hate to say it, but it seemed to coincide with my Mavericks update. I doubt it's because of that, specifically, but it was around the same time. I really think it's some kind of Safari/iTunes issue.
    I actually don't understand what you mean by an active internet connection being the problem. I'm only on line when my Mac is turned on and (I assume) when I'm on email or browsing the web. I don't have any connections set up when I'm not actively on line. But even so, I don't know wh that would cause me to have to log in to iTunes (four times in rapid succession) every time I clear my browser history.
    That seems to be the one thing that causes it though - clearing my Safari History. If I don't clear it, iTunes doesn't require me to log back in. Only when I clear it does iTunes make me do those four log ins.
    Hope that helps clarify this. I'm not a real whiz at this.

  • Checks gapless playback on one album every time I open iTunes

    I bought an album on the iTunes music store.
    Every time I open iTunes, it checks this one album for gapless playback. Every Time! I've tried deleting it from the library and adding it again, but that doesn't help.
    What's weird though, is that we have 2 MBP's, each with their own iTunes library. But we share the files on a networked hard drive. This only happens on my computer, not the other one.
    Any suggestions?

    Please check you system if it is free of Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to CNET's download.com to download a free version of Malwarebyte. Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
    To start your computer in safe mode
    press and hold the F8 key. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again.
    On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter.
    Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
    When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.
