iPhoto problem

[jbrown]

Hi All,

A while back I was importing some pictures into iPhoto, and the import wasn't
completed - I can't remember why, maybe the drive / camera was disconnected or something.

Anyway, no bother as I didn't want the pictures anyway.

But the problem is that now when ever I open iPhoto, I get a dialogue box telling me that " 17 photos have been found in the iPhoto library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import the? No - Yes "

If I press 'no', then I can carry on - if I press 'yes' then iPhoto hangs ( due to looking for non-existent photos I guess ).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

cheers

Hi,

you could try to "overwrite" that import status.

Just import a random picture from Finder (or camera) into iPhoto. Maybe this will update the internal iPhoto import status.

Good thought! But sadly it didn't cure it.....

Hi,

I just found this thread at Apple's support site.

Hope this works.

Maybe have that camera plugged in when you choose yes.
