iphoto library opens as one big thing and always recovers extra photos from somewhere...
I have a macbook pro running osx10.7.4 and iphoto 11. When I first got my mac six months ago, and synced my pictures for the first time, it gave me an error. It has been giving me the same error ever since 'I photo has discovered that some photos were not imported, do you want to import? If you check ok or no the same thing happens. It takes almost a whole minute to recover them and save them straight in the pictures folder. That is the first problem. It does this every time I open iphoto.
The second problem is: say I want to upload a picture to my blog or facebook. the site gives me a browser window to upload my .jpg. I go to pictures/iphoto library, to select a picture, but it doesn't let me select a picture. Instead (if it isn't grayed out competely, which it sometimes is, like if I am trying to insert a picture into Pages or Word,) if I click on it, it tries to upload the 184gig photo library into the one spot on my blog where I wanted the picture. So the only thing I can think of to do is get out of that, open iphoto independently, find the picture i want, save that to somewhere else, like the desktop, then close that, go back to the blog or fb go to the browser window and find the new file I just created and hit enter. WOW! That is how Mac makes things easier? Picasa worked fine for me before. Sometimes I miss windows--in weak moments...
I know there has to be an easier way, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is. On another thread before, I think I read that my operating system and the iphoto are slightly incompatible is why I get the first problem. I just figured the second problem was linked to the first, and that an update would fix them both, but it hasn't. Please help.
