iPhoto reimports photos from my iPhone over & over (i don't have an Import folder in my Library)
hi,
iphoto keeps trying to reimport the same photos from my iphone to my computer. right now it's trying to import 68 photos. If i click "don't import" and select the box "apply to all duplicates" it imports them anyway. i have up to 10 copies of some photos. also, iphoto sometimes reimports an entire set of photos (hundreds at a time) without asking if i want the duplicates imported. this is driving me insane.
i have seen others write about similar problems, and the fix was "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*."
I tried this. Unfortunately, i don't have a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'. Just one called Auto Import, which was empty.
i have a MBA, OS 10.6.8 and iPhoto 11 (though the problem existed with earlier versions of iPhoto too)
Please help before i have a cow.
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
