Whenever I hook up my iPhone, iPhoto opens up and I get the following messages. If i click thru them, everything is ok… until I unhook and hook my iPhone up again later. Except the iPhoto Library Recoved Photos_2 goes to _3, _4, and so on.

I cannot for the life of my figure out what this is trying to tell me or how to fix it. I'm a new Mac owner so if the answer is obvious, I apologize. Anyone have any ideas?

The messages are as follows. Clicking YES or NO results in the same thing.

"41 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them? (NO) (YES)"

"The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/myname/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos (OK)"

"41 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them? (NO) (YES)"

"The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/myname/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_2 (OK)"

What are your iTunes settings for photo import with the phone (attach the phone and in iTunes, select the phone on the left and then click the Photos tab)?

It is not set to sync.

I changed iPhoto to not auto-start when the iphone (or any camera) is plugged in.

When I open iPhoto by itself, I still get the errors below - so it's a problem when the iPhone is attached or not. Not sure if I made that clear earlier, but thats the way it currently is.

Right now, I go to open iPhoto, it gives me the errors (and iPhone is not plugged in).

It's odd. Not sure how to interpret the error iPhoto is giving me.

So it's not related to the phone. Try rebuilding the iPhoto library:

iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
