Thank you for the response I made a new folder and titled it I then selected all the images in I photo and dragged them in there and they went in I then ejected the flash drive and when I tried to view them in the folder I just made I get a window that says I photo can"t find the photo???
Thank you they do import into I photo and I can view them as long as I keep the flash drive in as soon as I remove it I cans see the images in I photo but as soon as click on one it say I photo can't find the volume please insert the disk I put the drive back in and I can view them all in I photo without importing them again
Try the built-in iPhoto maintenance:
Launch iPhoto while holding Option and Command. You'll see a window with a variety of choices. I would do each choice in the list, particularly the Repair Database.
If you have a lot of pictures, >10,000 or more, then that repair or rebuild can take quite a long time. (possibly several hours if you have never tried those maintenance options).

When you import in iPhoto, make sure you're not just dragging and dropping because that just adds it to your library instead of actually copying to your computer first before adding to your library.
What you want is to use the import function in the application itself.
