iPhoto Recovered Photo Problem ???

Hi, each time I open iPhoto, it takes a while to open and I get the message "Recovered Photo_4", etc etc. Same message, the number changes 5, 6, etc.

What's the deal ? when it finally opens, the Recovered Photo folder is empty.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.7), iPhone 2.2 is AWESOME!!

This is one of the VERY few time that you should ever delete anything from your iPhoto library

quit iPhoto and go to your iPhoto library and right click (control click) on it - select show package contents and find the folder names import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop -- launch iPhoto and everything will be ok - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos in it you want, import them to iPhoto - then trash the folder and empty the trash

Thank you very much! The folders that were inside the "import" folder were empty.

Not atypical - but one in a while there are actual good photos in there 🙂

I'm not sure why this occurs occasionally but fortunately it is easy to solve
