Hi,

Id really really appreciate your help with an iphoto problem that has me pulling out my hair!

Every time i start up iphoto, i get a message saying- 102 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now?

If I click yes, i get a box up with huge list of file names that says- the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or they may not contain valid data) the list looks like this, with 102 files!
Users/Steph/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos2/13820121615958005d8d.jpg
/Users/Steph/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos2/1382922344b4fa199b6f.jpg

/Users/Steph/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos2/2174400378ca190627e_b.jpg


So I've tried deleting the folders called 'iPhoto Library Recovered Photos2' that i find trough searching my finder, which doesn't seem to do anything. I've also searched the individual file name (e.g. 13820121615958005d8d.jpg). when i do, it comes up with about 8 of the same photo, which when i send to trash i have to tell it to 'do it anyway' even though its locked or something, and when deleting form trash i need to hold down the command key whilst pressing empty. When i do this the number 102, goes down but not enough. for example if i delete 5 photos, the number may only go down by 2, when i start up iphoto again.

If i press no when asked to import the photos, i get a message saying- The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/Steph/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_3.
the end number goes up each time i say no. These folders are easy enough to delete, but its annoying getting the pop ups all the time!

Apologies for the long explanation, i hope you can help!

Many thanks in advance!
