Aperture not recognizing iPhone 3GS as a camera?

I decided to pull my iPhone photos into Aperture. However, some of the photos show correct camera metadata as being from my 3GS, but others show "unknown camera".
There appears to be no rhyme nor reason, i.e. the first photo I took with my phone shows the correct metadata, whereas most others (randomly) do not.
Any ideas?

Upon further testing, it looks like maybe the photos I took with "Camera Genius", a third party camera app don't save the camera model as part of the metadata. Looks like only the photos taken with the actual Apple camera app will log the camera as an iPhone.
So, question #2. How can I change the camera/model metadata (painlessly please ) of those that are "unknown"?

  • Aperture Not Recognizing iPhone Jpegs

    Has anyone else had a problem with Aperture having issues with jpegs from iPhones while having no problems with jpegs out of other cameras?
    The problem is characterized by selected jpegs turning back and displaying a triangle with exclamation mark and  words declaring that the image is an unsupported format. It also appears to affect some (but not all) iPhone images at time of import leading to the inability to import batches of images from the iPhone while having no problems with either RAW or jpegs from my Panasonic GH2
    This problem has happened to me twice now and the only solution that works is rebuilding the Aperture Library.
    I find it strange that it affects iPhone images only and wonder if this is a known Aperture issue or not.

  • Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

    Hello,
    I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.
    Thank you very much.

  • PC not recognizing iphone as a digital camera

    I am having the same issue with not being able to transfer my pics and video from my iphone onto my pc. I have read the many solutions posted in this forum but none have help me. I am able to sync to itunes but does not show up as a camera that is plugged into my pc. I have tried running the scanner/camera wizard but does not recognize my iphone as a camera.
    Any solutions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    So the device appears in iTunes? This could be a serious issue with your OS or even your USB drivers or ports. Something that AppleCare may have limited support in regards as it could be isolated to a Microsoft referral if you're using a Windows machine.
    *Determine the following:*
    Do you have any Webcam software installed? Such as Logitec Webcam software? If so, uninstall it then test.
    *Follow these steps for Windows:*
    Restart the machine, test.
    Open Device Manager, see the device is appearing in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section.
    Update the USB drivers, test.
    Try a new Windows user account (make it an admin account), test to see if it's User Specific or System-Wide, test.
    Try another computer, see if it's appearing as a USB device, if it is, contact your vendor or manufacturer.

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS on Windows 7

    Hi guys, I knew it is an old topic. I just want to know if there was a solution to this sucking problem.
    The problem is that the iTunes simply doesn't recognize my iPhone while the Windows does. The related services runs well and the iPhone was recognized as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in the device manager.
    btw. I'm not an Apple fan nor do I like the philosophy of Apple. I didn't want to buy an iPhone for myself. But unfortunately I received one as a gift. And now I have to bother you guys and waste my time on it:(
    But anyhow thank you if you can help me.

  • MBP not recognizing IPhone 3gs

    Today and yesterday I have been unable to get my computer to recognize my IPhone. I have seen several topics on what to do if it is a windows computer, but I do not have windows. I have a MBP running OS X(10.6.4), I have iTunes 9.2 and I have upgraded my phone to OS 4. It has been several weeks since I upgrade and I have not had any issues until today and yesterday. As recently as Friday I have had my phone plugged into my computer and it was working fine. However, now when I plug it in, it does not charge and it also does not recognize in iTunes. However, when I use the same cable to plug into the wall it charges fine, and if I dock my phone in my alarm clock it will also charge fine.
    Thanks for any replies.

    There's not much else we can do on this forum then. I'd suggest making an appointment at an Apple store & taking your phone & computer, the geniuses should be able to sort this out. Make sure you backup your phone & all important data on your computer BEFORE you go.

  • Aperture Not Recognizing Duplicates When Importing From iPhone. PhotoStream is Involved.

    Apple makes great software. Aperture is not some of it.
    Here's my setup:
    '11 MacBook Air OS X Lion
    Aperture 3.2.2
    iPhone 4 ios 5.0
    1.5 TB External Drive. Aperture Masters and Library reside there, separate from each other.
    I keep my photos in a structure such as: Aperture Masters > Year > Month > Date > original_photo_name
    I'm running into trouble with Aperture not recognizing what photos are duplicates when it comes time to import photos. My workflow is that I'll import photos every so often, leaving them on the iPhone, and delete them twice a year.
    ISSUE 1 (The Annoying One):
    Aperture is showing a lot of photos that have already been imported even if I select "Don't Import Duplicates". Aperture has done this for a long time. I know that when it comes time to importing them, it doesn't import the duplicates, but this is just a sign that something doesn't work very well. (Maybe it's because I switched to an iPhone 4S and then back. I synced all my photos, and then back again to my iPhone 4, so the sequential number of the photos remained intact. I don't think that's the problem though.). This is just a minor annoyance that shows that Apple can suck at software (remember MobileMe?).
    ISSUE 2 (The serious one):
    short version: Some photos on my iPhone won't sync to my Aperture library because it thinks they've been synced through PhotoStream. They are not in my Aperture Library or in my Aperture Masters in the filesystem. How can I fix this. What bloody file do I have to delete for Aperture to stop being confused?
    longer explanation: When iOS 5 came out, I was excited by PhotoStream. I had enabled it on my MBA, through iPhoto (I hadn't installed Aperture on it yet, as I was using an iMac to manage my Aperture Library). I believe it synced a bunch of photos from my iPhone, but then I stopped using it on my mac. Left it on on my iPhone. Installed Aperture. I initially enabled PhotoStream but swiftly disabled it once I was not sure how it would deal with photos being uploaded from my mac etc - just seemed like too much magic was going on. I then proceeded to sync my iPhone, not importing duplicates, and it synced a bunch of photos, but didn't sync some of them, displaying the following message:
    Any tips on how to fix this and be able to import those images would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. - I thought that iPhoto might be causing the problem. I checked there and there were some images imported through PhotoStream, but not some of the ones which were not imported on Aperture. Putting that another way: the iPhoto library accounted for some of the images that were not imported, but not all of them. I deleted the iPhoto Library and tried reimporting with Aperture. Still no luck.

    I have precisely the same problem. Very annoying. Worked fine with iPhoto, borked with Aperture 3.

  • My laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device. I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how

    Hi everyone,
    my laptop does not recognize my iPhone 3GS as a camera device anymore.
    I need to import my photos and videos and don't know how.
    The iPhone does charge when I plus it in the USB hub but it does not ask me to import the photos anymore
    and it also doesn't show it as a device when I click on the "computer" button where an SD card or an Usb stick would normally be displayed..
    I don't know what to do

    Thank you, randers4! I now plugged it directly into the ports of my laptop and it's still not recognized.
    Does the app Photosync work for more than a thousand photos or will this take me forever?
    Thanks a lot

  • Do I need to assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera

    Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
    NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
    Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
    ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
    I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
    ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.
    Thank You Very Much,

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

    I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

    Re: iTunes not recognizing iPhone 5 
    Feb 16, 2014 7:45 AM (in response to oryyx)
    Had this problem this morning.
    Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
    This morning had the problem,too.
    Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
    Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

    I had this exact same problem and just figured out how to fix it. I had to reload the driver on the iphone5 in order for itunes to recognize the device. Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

    Check first if your iTunes is up-to-date. If it's updated, try using a different cable or try plugging it to a different USB port.

  • My PC not recognizing iPhone

    My Pc not recognizing iPhone. I tryed a lot of ways but nothing help.

    If its anything like what my pc does from time to time... Is that when I plug in , Itunes "locks" up for a period of time followed by it finally "letting go" and then not seeing my iphone.  Granted, I use an Iphone 4 but none the less I'm assuming this is the issue you are having.
    What I do (cant take credit for this, learned from another user on these boards) is hold your home button and power button at the same time.  Let the iphone turn off and then turn it back on.  Plug it back in , and it should be seen.  If that does not work (does not always for me) try it when the usb cable plugged in.   One or the other usually does the trick for me.
    Good luck!
