Photos Keeps Wanting to Import Photos Already Imported

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 with Photos 1.0 (209.52.0).
Every time I plug my iPhone 6 into my Mac, Photos wants to import certain photos that have already been imported. Seemingly, it's the same photos over and over that Photos wants to import again.
Is there a fix for this behavior?

Thanks for the responses, but never mind. I realized that I was actually importing them originally and then deleting them from iPhotos. I can do the same thing in Photos. No problem, then.

  • Photos keeps wanting to import iPhone pics that I *don't* want to import

    I have photos on my phone that I just don't want or need to import into Photos on my Mac. In iPhoto, once I told it that I didn't want to import a photo, iPhoto never asked about it again. In Photos, however, each time I connect my phone, it brings up the same pictures all over again, along with any new ones. So it's essentially asking me over and over to import the same photos that I don't WANT to import.
    I've looked in Settings (minimal as they are), but I can't find anything to tell it to ignore those pictures after the first time I say not to import them.
    Does anyone have any idea how to have those pictures just ignored by the new Photos app?

  • Iphoto keeps reimporting all photos on disk though i have selected hide photos already imported. this is new behaviour!

    I am trying to import a few new photos from a 8gb card but Iphoto keeps reloading all the files that I have already downloaded AGAIN! This is new behaviour! I have the box ticked to Hide photos already unloded but it is grayed out so couldn't unselect if I wanted to. I've looked at the directions and they seem to say NOT to select the files on the card and drag them into Iphoto. It is taking hours to reload files that are already there. Any ideas? Cheers.

    If this is new what  has recently changed?

    Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
    How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
    Linda

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
    Click to view full size
    look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away.  If there is no message  check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

  • How can i keep my iphoto imports and onedrive photos in the same place and synced to onedrive?

    I currently subscribe to Office365 and use OneDrive to sync all my docs and files from my old Windows PC to my Mac (OSX Mavericks).
    I have a tons of photos already on OneDrive and would like to so my PhotoSteam and also when I import photos or use iPhoto that it uses the OneDrive Photo folder/directory.
    Is this possible?
    As a new OSX users I am not sure how to do this, in Windows I would have just changed the directory of the Picture library but cannot see a way to do this on OSX.
    Any help and pointers (in as simple steps as possible!) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Yes it is possible but no you really, really don't want to do this if you're using iPhoto.
    You can't put an iPhoto Library on OneDrive. It's not a Directory, but a rather complex ecosystem of sql database, files, caches and metadata. Basically, you're trying to run a Mac database from a Windows disk and that's always going to cause problems. (as doing the reverse would too.)
    You can (in theory) run iPhoto with storing the files on OneDrive but don't. iPhoto has no tools to manage this set up properly, and you're only storing up issues for further down the road.

  • I don't want to import PHOTOS. I want to get only one into Lightroom for temporary work. How do I do this. (the photo is now in Photoshop Elements).

    Don't want to import all photos from my camera or anywhere else. I only want to work on one image then put it back into Elements. Please tell me how to do this and I would appreciate a detailed answer. Please do not be vague.

    Lightroom is not a file browser, It isn't anything like the organizer in Photoshop Elements. Lightroom uses a catalog, which is a database. That database keeps track of the location of images that have been imported, as well as all of the adjustments that you make to those images using Lightroom. The import process is a process of showing Lightroom where the images are located on your computer. You can't just open an image in Lightroom, make changes and then close it. Lightroom doesn't make changes to the original image. Your images are left in their pristine state. All the changes are stored in the catalog. And when it comes time to share an image that has been adjusted in Lightroom you need to export a copy that includes all of those changes. It's a different workflow, and one that you need to become accustomed to. I suggest that you watch a series of short tutorials that will help you understand more completely how Lightroom works.

  • How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    your question is not clear
    if you want to delete unimported photos you can not using iPhoto -image capture can and youcan do it on yoru IOS device or yoru camera
    If you want to import only select items and you have a current version of iPhoto then you select the ones you want and use the import selected cuttom
    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

    I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side.  How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

    First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
    BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

  • HT201302 Is there a way to select the photos you want to import instead of importing all of them?

    I don't want to import all of my photos, just a few. I even made an album of all the photos I want to import.

    The free Picasa program allow you to select which one to import as well as importing all. It all allows you to then delete the import photos from the device.

  • I am wanting to import photos  from my imac to my ipad.  the help page directed me to open the photo button under the device listing on itunes.  There is not a photo button and I am connected to the computer.  It does show buttons for books, movies, etc.

    I want to import photos from iphoto to my ipad.  The help button said to press the photo button under the device list.  There isn't a photo button shown.  Could it be hidden?

    If you connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side of iTunes (not on the left) there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders or albums/events to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • I have videos saved on my memory stick and I-photo however i want to import them into I-movie how do i convert them?

    I have videos saved on my memory stick and I-photo however i want to import them into I-movie how do i convert them?

    Hi,
    If you have the newest version of iPhoto and iMovie, you can access your iPhoto videos in iMovie directly.
    On your iMovie, after creating a new project, on the bottom left hand corner, expand your Hard Drive (Macintosh HD), and then click on "iPhoto Videos."
    You can use those clicps by dragging them right into your project on the upper left hand corner and use them.
    However, if the videos you took on your camera are not supported by iPhoto, then you'll need some third-party software to help you convert them.

    When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

    Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

  • My macbook pro isn't opening up iPhoto automatically when I plug my phone in. It used to automatically open up iPhoto and ask me if I wanted to import photos.

    When i plug in my iPhone to my macbook pro iPhoto doesn't open up and ask me if I want to import photos.  This process used to happen automatically.  It's like they are  not talking.  My iPhone does show up in iTunes though.

    Hi ez2bme63,
    The application that launches when a device such as your iPhone is connected is controlled in the iPhoto preferences. From the iPhoto menu > Preferences > General > Connecting camera opens: Select iPhoto. See this article for reference -
    iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer

  • I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my other phone

    I bought a new iphone and want to import my photos that were on my old iphone; hoping they are on the icloud somewhere

    I am assuming that if it was done at the Verizon store that it was an iCloud backup.
    On the phone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    When the phone reboots it will be back to factory. Go through the setup and when it asks if you want to setup as a new phone or from a backup, choose to restore from iCloud Backup.
    The screen will look like this:
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    If you are not sure if it is backed up and you have anything worth while on there now then you should backup before you start.
