how to force close iPhoto?
I can't get iPhoto to close it keeps saying its downloading photos but its not?
Use Force Quit from the - menu in the upper left corner of your display to quit iPhoto.
If you cannot restart iPhoto after that and still tries to import,
- Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
- Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
- Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
- Then launch iPhoto again.
If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.
