On each start up iPhoto creates 2 recovered photos folders with nothing in them

Every time i open the program it asks - would i "like to import 21 photos that have not been imported?", regardless of wether I click yes or no, it creates an empty "recovered photos" folder and tells me where it is located. I have to go through these commands each time I open iphoto. any fixes? there are no cards, cameras, or usb sticks connected.

Hi, i have the same issue. I have followed your instructions and iPhoto will now open without creating the two recovered photo's folders.
But when i open the " import " folder now on my desktop it has three folders in it, Data, Modified and Originals.
They have hundreds of folders, pretty much my whole photo collection and of course as soon as i place this folder back into package contents the problem reoccurs.
I have attached a screenshot of the iPhoto Library folder or " package contents "
Any advice on how to proceed would be gratefully received.

  • IPhoto imported/recovered photos error

    I am experiencing an error in that each time I open up iPhoto it tells me that i have 67 photos that were not imported during a previous occasion and it asks me whether i wish to import them now. If I click yes, nothing happens. If i click no, it says that the photos will be saved in a Recovered Photos folder in Pictures. The problem is that this Recovered Photos folders appears EVERY time, regardless of whether I click yes or no. And every time I open iPhoto I get exactly the same problem. If i open iPhoto 20 times, i will get 20 versions of the Recovered Photos folder - and none will have any photos in it.
    iPhoto Help tells me that this may have occurred if there had been a disruption whilst transferring photos at some stage and suggests moving the offending folder to the desktop then trying to open iPhoto again. I have tried this but NOTHING HELPS!
    Please can anyone suggest how to fix this, get around this or how to turn this feature off - it is driving me mad seeing this error message every single time, and having numerous versions of that folder turn up in my Pictures.
    Thanks in advance!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How to eliminate multiple invisible "Recovered Photos" folders?

    Background:
    OS 10.7.5
    MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    iPhoto 11 9.4.2
    iTunes 11.0.2 (26)
    15,258 photos
    When I go to sync any iDevice in iTunes 11, multiple "Recovered Photos" folders appear as folders in the "Albums" list.
    These folders "Recovered Photos," "Recovered Photos(1)," etc. do NOT appear in my iPhoto 11 Albums.
    At present they appear to cause no harm, but I'm one who believes that "where there's smoke, there's fire" in the "computers behaving weirdly" department, so I set about to find and eliminate these phantom folders.
    I tried all the "rebuild/restore" functions in iPhoto. This did not work.
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager 3.8.6 (have not paid to upgrade to 4) to rebuild the library. This resulted in the "Recovered Photos" folders all appearing in the iPhoto Albums list where they were deletable, but all my Keywords and Smart Albums had been wiped out.
    Any ideas on how to end up with a clean iPhoto library, complete with keywords, albums and smart albums preserved, but without these phantom folders, or is this library FUBAR?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You can use the free demo of iPLM 4 to rebuild the library.
    You can try the following:
    1 - close iPhoto.
    2 - open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder:
    3 - move the AlbumData.xml file to the Desktop.
    4 - lanuch iPhoto and check to see if there's any change.
    If that doesn't help you can move the file back into the package if there's any problem with the library.  If not then trash it.

  • Why do i always create recovered photos folder every time i start up iPhoto?

    Every time i open iPhoto '09 IO get a message that says, "74 ITEMS WERE FOUND IN IPHOTO LIBRARY THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IMPORTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO IMPORT NOW?" I have tried to import and also cancel and it keeps coming up.  What an annoyance!!  How do I remove this because it creates a recovered photo folder in my library each time... It has done this ever since I bought the program just didn't have time to ask for help! LOL

    Right Click - point to the iPhot  library (by default in your pictures folder) and click on the right mouse button (or control - click for a single button mouse - or two finger click for a default track pad

  • Recovered photos - how do I get them onto my computer?

    Hi,
    My computer crashed and burned recently and all was recovered from DriveSavers. However - I have no idea how to get the recovered photos into my new computer - much less see them.
    How do I do this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Where are these recovered image files? Are then on CD's? They do have the jpg extension on them, right? If so, all you need to do is create a new iPhoto library and import them. Just don't put them inside the iPhoto Library folder to import. They must be outside that folder. If they are on CD, drag them from the CD to the Desktop - put them in a folder if not already in one on the CD. Then import the folder into iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Creating a photo gallery with photo download option

    Good morning,
    I need to create a page on my website where I can have a photo gallery WITH the option to download a photo, or the entire gallery. Can someone tell me, or point me to a video tutorial on how to do this?
    If you are familiar with SmugMug, or Zenfolio, they have that option where I can click to download the entire gallery or a single photo, and it downloads in the form of a zipped file.
    Can someone help me with this please?
    Thank you,
    Alex
    (I would use SmugMug or Zenfolio, but my volume does not justify the cost)

  • Creating flash photo gallery with Bridge

    This may not be the best way of creating a flash gallery but
    I thought I would try it since I'm new to this and it seems faster
    then editing all those photos.
    When I create the photo gallery using Adobe Bridge and then
    try to open the Flash Movie file to edit the movie it tells me
    "Cannot open a protected movie"
    Does this mean that I cannot edit the movie after Bridge
    creates it or is there a way around this?

  • Creating a photo book with captions

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 running on Windows. I have created a collection of photos that I want to have printed as an album. I want to maintain the captions and order that I have already set. My preference would be to do this on my desktop rather than uploading them to a service like Snapfish or Kodak Gallery (the upload process is nightmarish and it doesn't appear to maintain the captions). Any suggestions?
    Ideally I would like to find a templated tool that would allow me to import my collection with its captions. Then I would send it to Snapfish or Kodak Gallery or Lulu for printing. Maybe I've missed something, but all of those folks seem to want me to upload my photos and then template the book on their site, adding captions manually. This is nuts, particularly if I've already done the work to add captions in Photoshop Album.
    As a related question, is there some standard for tagging and captions for photos or does Photoshop Album use some proprietary method?

    I can see the caption when I upload the photo to Kodak Gallery, but it doesn't show up when I place it in the photo book. I have a question in to their support team but I still wonder if anyone has had any luck making photo books with the captions created in Photoshop Album Starter.
    And the bigger question is: what if I don't want to upload my photos? What if I'd rather make the book on my desktop? Is there any way to do that?

  • How do you create multiple photo folders or shows

    When I import photos they all go into the same album, photo library. How do I set up more albums? Even when I import from different folders on my MAC they go to the same album.
    Also how do I delete photos once they are on the iPod?
    Many Thanks,

    If you want to get the photos from your own folder structure instead of from iPhoto, create a main folder for all the photos you want to have on your iPod (your Photo Library) and create whatever folders inside it that you want. Select the main folder as the "Sync photos from" in iTunes and sync your iPod photos. The subfolders you create will appear on your iPod.

  • Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

    Hello, all. I've been creating an XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0 following a tutorial. I followed the instructions step-by-step but at the end I got the following error message instead:
    Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
    Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
    Looking forward to your suggestions!

    Check the folder structure
    Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
    trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

  • Problems creating Shutterfly Photo Book with PSE 9

    Has anyone run across this problem. Searched the forum here, and nothing has come up. Created a photo book using the Elements 9 organizer. Selected the order  button, it saved the files, transferred them, then opened a Shutterfly  window to complete the order. Single Image that Shutterfly would show  was the cover to center the title page image in a center cut space on  the cover. The image looked compressed and not centered. Exited the  program, re centered the image and selected order again. Same result,  image looked centered but compressed. Went to the Shutterfly website in make sure that images were not  compressed like that (since it saves your project under your profile).  Instead found that some pages were correct, and some (like the title  page) took an entire page that I made in Elements and compressed it into  a single frame of a three framed picture page, for example. The whole  project is a total mess! I'm just glad I looked on the Shutterfly site  before pressing the purchase button and paying $30 for a book to be  delivered looking like that! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I pretty much used all of the  prompts in elements to create the book, and since Shutterfly is supposed  to be seamlessly integrated into this, I thought it would work without  problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks,
    Dave

    Have seached this entire forum for help with this issues and there is nothing. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong??
    Thanks!
