Photos are being imported to the photo library... nothing being importe

I am trying to to upload my photos from iPhone4 (6.1.3) to iMac with Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, but it's always the message "photos are being imported to the photo library" pop out without any photo being uploaded. (That forced me to force-quit iPhoto even when the phone is detached from iMac.)

Try the Image Capture application that comes with every Mac. It gives you a little more control over the import process.

    Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
    Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

  • There is a constant pop up message of "Photos are being imported to the photo library."

    I cannot close my iPhoto or import any new photos. There is a constant pop up message of "Photos are being imported to the photo library." However, I am NOT importing anything to the library. This is very frustrating.
    I cannot force quit. I even tried shutting down the computer manually. When my BRAND NEW IMAC starts back up, the same problem persists.
    I also tried re-importing photos from my camera and flip camera. My iPhoto will not allow an import because these non existent photos are being imported. HELP PLEASE!

    Force Quit iPhoto. It's under the Apple Menu.

  • I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

    I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
    I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

    Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

  • Why does my iphoto continue to say " photos are being imported to the photo library" every time I try to close? I have not been imported and this has been keeping me from closing for weeks.

    What Operating System are you running?

  • I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto.  I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  I do not know where the photos would be importing from.

    After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
    Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
    Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "Show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
    Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
    Then launch iPhoto again.
    If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.

  • I can't shut down or restart, it keeps saying Photos are being imported to the photo library"

    Hello
    I have a Imac. I can't shut down or restart. It keeps giving me a pop up "Photos are being imported to the photo library". I can't even quit iPhoto.

    If you open iPhoto again and it won't shut down normally force quit again and do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • A photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported???

    When i open iphoto i get a message saying "a photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported, would you like to import it?" I have tried what everyone is saying to do, but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents and i've looked all through that, still no import folder. Even though i click no i do not want the photo imported it still is stored on my external hard drive and every so often i have to go delete TONS of photos and when you click on the photo it doesn't even actually show up as anything.

    but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents
    You're looking at the iPhoto.app package. Those instructions are for the iPhoto Library package. That's in your Pictures Folder.

  • Photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported

    Whenever I start iPhoto, I get an error that says:
    5 Photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?
    http://www.fredmccann.com/error.png
    If I say no, the dialog goes away but you get it the next time you start iphoto. If I say yes, then iphoto tries to import something (I don't know what) and hangs. I've let it run for two hours and nothing ever gets imported. What's worse is that every time I try to let it import, it increments the number of pictures it thinks is missing. The first time it said 3 photos. I let it attempt an import and it froze. The next start it claimed there were 4. It's up to 5 now and I've figured out that letting it try to import whatever it thinks is missing is a bad idea.
    Has anyone seen this problem before? Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This Apple KB document may have the solution to your problem: Unimported photos found in Library when iPhoto is launched.
    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.

  • Photos  have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported

    Every time I open iPhoto 9 (version 8.0.3) I get the following message: "photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
    Whether I click "yes" or "no" (it doesn't matter) a "recovered photo" folder is created that contains six documents with long names, such as "8E7471DB-A316-4640-A4EE-98293772E434-269-000002802B328A1B". And even when they are "recovered", the very next time I open iPhoto I have to go through the same thing over again.
    I can't find where the originals are or why iPhoto keeps wanting to import these documents.

    I tried to right click the photo album icon in my library
    Is that referred to in an earlier post?
    Seems to me that the suggestion is to
    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.

  • 1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

    In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
    After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
    1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
    Would you like to import them?
    What does this mean?
    - nello

    I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
    Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
    For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
    Is there any way rejoin the original  (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

    Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto? 
    If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library.  From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
    And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?

    Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported.  Does anyone have 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
