how do i fix the "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported" error

Try the fix described in this support article:

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.

Thanks, this fixed the issue for me!

You sir are a genius.

Thanks - this also fixed my issue! Been struggling with this for like 2 years.

Hi--

I did htid but found nothing except "AutoImport"--shall I move that folder as described in your post?

Thanks, this fixed the error

"A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported"

Now I found the picture folder (it was disable in the Finder sidebar) and everything worked splendidly!

Thank you!

Thank you Terence, that worked for me!
