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.
Regards
TD

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.
lsof -l +L -R -V | grep /

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.

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. How do I get it to proceed?

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 have been using iphoto 09 and am now unable to import photos from my camera. I get the message that they are being imported but after 10 minutes nothing has actually been imported.

I have just been trying to import photos from mine and my husbands cameras but nothing seems to be happening. I get the message to wait while they are being imported but after 10-15 minutes, nothing has been uploaded. I have always had updates downloaded when they become available and can't think what I may have done wrong.
I hope someone out there can give me some advice. My mac is running Snow Leopard and I love it.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Firefox add-on "Web Developer Toolbar" is a must have. Information > Display Div & Class details.

Another handy Firefox Add-on to add to your tool chest is called "Dust-Me Selectors."
http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/
"It extracts all the selectors from all the stylesheets on the page you're viewing, then analyzes that page to see which of those selectors are not used. The data is then stored so that when testing subsequent pages, selectors can be crossed off the list as they're encountered.
You can test pages individually, or spider an entire site, and you'll end up with a profile of which selectors are not used anywhere."

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Do you want to import it? Yes or No" Any suggestions?

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

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 switch-off the message "your plagins are very old" on the top of window ?

How delete (switch-off reminder) the message "your plagins are very old" on the top of window ?

Is there a reason you don't want to update your plugins? Specifically your Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader are VERY old and leaving gaping security holes in your computer. Updating them is fast and easy and will not just remove the message but will leave you more secure.

I get photos attached to Instant Messages, but despite good wifi connection, suddenly the photos won't load to full frame, any thoughts?

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

How can i transfer photos from my iPhone 4s o myimac iPhoto easily? i have been doing via message, however the photos are blurred once on the imac, thanks,

Hi.
How can i transfer photos from my iPhone 4s o myimac iPhoto easily? i have been doing via message, however the photos are blurred once on the imac.
thanks,

You can send photos from your iPhone via email, drag the photos from the email window to the desktop then open in iPhoto.
Open a photo on your iPhone then tap the share icon bottom left corner of your screen then tap Next then tap Mail. Send the photo to yourself.
Open Mail then control click the photo then click Open with then click iPhoto. If iPhoto is not available from the pop up menu click Other then navigate to the Applications folder then click iPhoto.

The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 5 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber,

Hello Everyone,
Suddnly stop merge replication. transaction cannot replicated from publiser to sunscriber.
I tried to set heartbeat_interval= 5 but still not working..
The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 5 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor
are still active.
What is the problem with merge replication and why this erroe comes..
any solution of this error or reconfigure merge replication?
please give me a solution

Run profiler on the subscriber to see what the merge agent is doing there. It is possible that there is some blocking that is causing the agent to hang. You might want to set the heartbeat to 10 or higher. The default is IIRC 5.
