iPhoto does not import a photo

Every time I open iPhoto it tells me that a photo is not imported into the library, and it asks me if I want to import it. Unfortunately, even if I choose the option "yes" when I open the software again it makes me the same question. If I instead choose the option "no" it tells me that "The picture was placed in the folder / Users / _______ / Pictures / iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_3."

Checking that folder it is empty.

How can I fix it?

How can I find the photos that iPhoto can not import? I want to delete it!!

Thank you very much

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.

Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.

Start iPhoto. Does that help?

If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
