I used my mac to delete picture from my iPhone and now it won't let me clear the deleted or import any photos form my iPhones. Every time i try to do anything it says import in progress when there isn't one going on. Any fix?

Use Force quit from the -menu in the upper left corner of your screen.

 > Force Quit


Then restart your Mac.


If the problem persists,


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.
