iPhoto does not show last import

iPhoto does not show last import. When I try to re-import photos from a desktop file it says the photos are already in the iphoto library and cannot be imported. What do I do? I've already re-installed iPhoto 09 and run updates.

MacBook Pro: 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Are you saying that the last import is not showing in the last import section of the source pane or is not in the Events in the library window? If you do not see the event then your camera has the wrong date - look in the last import album and find the date and then go to that date in the events - it will be there - if you want you can then slelect the photos and use the adjust time and date command to fix it - check change original files

I checked the date through the images folder in the finder window... it was correct. These photos don't show up in events (library) or last import (recent).

The last import shows photos I imported about 2 weeks ago. The events screen shows a lot of untitled events but there are no photos in them and they all appear as a gray palm tree and sunset.

Hello tbai;

I appear to be having the same problem that you had in Oct. 2010; did you get your problem resolved? And if so, can you help me?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database (assuming iPhoto '11 - you do not give us any details at all)
