My iphoto keeps jumping back to last import

My iphoto keeps jumping back to last import, I am using photo's in a event and if I click on anything on my desk top it flips out fo the event I am in and jumps back to last import please help

Close iPhoto and open the iPhoto Library package as shown in this screenshot:
Look inside the Auto Import folder and move whatever you find to the Desktop.  Do not many any other changes.
Launch iPhoto and it should not jump back to the last import smart album.  If there are any image files that you moved to the Desktop that you want and are not in the library then reimport them.

  • 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.

  • My playlist keeps jumping back

    I will be listening to a playlist on my iPhone 4s for a few songs and then pause. A few hours later I will come back to the music App and press play, but it will start playback from the song that I started with last time. So I have to skip any number of songs to get back to where I left off on the playlist. It does this with playlists or when I listen to my entire library on shuffle. Sometimes it keeps jumping back to the same song, no matter how many times I've paused and restarted. Every once in a while it will remember where I left off, but 9 times out of 10 it does not. This is really annoying since I want to listen to the whole playlist, but have to keep skipping through songs to get back to where I was without having to listen to repeats. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem on my iPhone 5S, and it is annoying. There may be a fix, however. Go to the Control Center, it seems you can start your playlist where you left off. I'd prefer to be able to do it in Music.app, or at least to have a preference that lets me continue where I left off in the playlist.
    Another thing I noticed. When you add albums to a playlist, it seems the "add all songs" button is missing. That's kind of annoying when the album has lots of songs.

  • Timezone keeps jumping back to GMT??

    Hi,
    I live in Denmark and want to set my date/time-preferences accordingly - it's Central European Summer Time (CEST) +0200 UTC.
    I've set it to adjust time/date automatically to "Apple - Europe". But every time I choose "Copenhagen - Denmark" under "Timezone" and quit the preferences, the timezone keeps jumping back to "GMT".
    What can I do?
    This constant time-displacement of two hours is messing with my iCal and Mail time settings as well. So the problem is kind of urgent!
    I hope you can help me.
    Best Regards,
    Anders Bach, Denmark

    From lmacy:
    "Use the Finder's "Go to Folder..." command to open the /etc folder and drag the localtime folder to the trash. You will need to authenticate as an admin to do this. Then just open System Preferences and set Date and Time settings.
    It appears that this only happens in a migration to Leopard, but I can not be sure.

  • HT1430 iPad 3 keeps jumping back to home screen ...

    iPad 3 keeps jumping back to Home screen .

    Your apps are crashing. Try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they help at all.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Start with those two things and see if the apps quit crashing - or see if the crashes are less frequent.

  • My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

    My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words.  To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine.  I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything.  Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
    Advice?

    I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles.  I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine.  ***.

        Geo0319,
    Let's get you snapping those sports moments. Does any other camera mode stay on consistently or do you have to change it everytime. It sounds like it will allow you to take one photo and then it reverts back to normal.

  • Freeware that can jump back to last saved state.

    Hi, can anyone help me with this problem:
    Software that can save the system prefrences of the mac - and let anyone meddle around with them, change anything they like, etc. Then, you shut down the mac, and start it up and its back to normal - back to the last saved state.
    Or perhaps not necessarily shut down, but just has a 'jump back to last good state' option?
    In a shop that sells Apples they said they'd had trouble with people coming in and changing loads of things, and that if they can just jump back to when it's all good - then it'll solve their problem.
    One guy had heard of something- but didnt know the name and said it was freeware.
    Has anyone got any ideas! - Only found 'TinkerTool' so far, and that's not really it at all!
    Many many thanks, in advance.

    Yes, I'd thought about new user accounts and perhaps limiting the access customers have to play with the Macs.
    So, for instance they have an account that lets them change the resolution of the monitor, but not the passwords of the administrator.
    I wonder to what extent you can limit it to, which system prefrence panels they can change as a limited user, and which they cannot.
    Will go investigate, but thankyou for all replies so far!!

    Are you touching the Touchpad with your palms/hands while typing?
    Turn off the touchpad by pressing Fn+F9, or disable "Tapping" in the Advanced Touchpad Settings.

  • 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?????
