iPhoto always asks to import photos on startup

Opening iPhoto, you always see an alert similar to the following:
  • "A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library folder that was not imported. Would you like to import it?"
Easy to fix.
  1. Open up finder and navigate to the "iPhoto Library" package
  2. Right click and choose "show package contents"
  3. Locate the "Recovered Photos" or "Import"
  4. Move it to your desktop
  5. Restart iPhoto
  6. Make sure your photos are still in iTunes
  7. Delete the "Recovered Photos" or "Import" that you placed on your desktop
Important: Be careful not to remove any other folders or items from the iPhoto Library folder. Doing so could cause your iPhoto library to become unreadable.
