Can't import photos from iphone 5 to my PC  very frustrating, ready to switch

I've sync the phone to my PC.  It indicated photos downloaded but I can't find them anywhere on itune or my picture library, icloud???  So frustrating.

Importing and syncing photos are two different things.
Your title says one thing your body of text something totally different.
iTunes: Syncing photos
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Can't import photos from iphone to iphoto

    I have an iphone 5 and so does my wife. We have an iMac with iphoto version 9.5.1. We have imported photos from our phones to iphoto many times without any problems. After we both updated our phones to iOS 8.1 iphoto will not recognize that our phones are connected to the computer. Finder also does not show that our phones are connected. iTunes still opens automatically and sync's with our phones, but I can't get any photos off our phones.
    I have read several posts in the community and nothing has worked so far.
    I do not see how to find my phone, or any other device, in the preferences in iphoto. iphoto does not automatically open any more when we connect our phones to the computer, but the preferences shows that iphoto should open any time a camera device is connected to the computer.
    Any ideas?

    Hi ..
    You can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder to import photos from iOS devices to iPhoto.

    iOS devices are not recognized by the Finder.

  • Iphoto can't import photos from iphone

    Trying to import photos from my iPhone 4s like I do all the time and get this message: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.
    What is the problem?

    OK got it working.  Quit iphoto twice.  Unplugged iphone, plugged back in and now it works.  Sheesh!

  • Can not import photos from iPhone

    I am no longer able to import photos from my iPhone 6+ with iPhoto. I get the error Unreadable Files. The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.

    That is for the eight pics I have on my iPhone.

    Amend to my post!
    I am having the problem with Yosemite 10.10.1 not 10.7.

  • Can't import photos from iPhone into iPhoto

    If i try to do a batch import, it says there's a problem downloading an image. If I try to import one image, it says the file is in an recognizable format. It's a jpg.
    Any ideas how I can get my photos and videos off my iPhone and why it won't import?

    When googling the error number, the second and last result (your post is the first) on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=946758&page=8 says :
    "Nevermind, I've tried using image capture and preview to import but i keep getting "The operation couldn't be completed.(com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error-9912.)"
    After doing some digging around i found this old (2006) response from the apple threads:
    REFRESH PHONE
    Hold down the power button and the home button until the Apple appears on the screen, then let go.
    REFRESH SYNC HISTORY
    Find iSync under Applications and Open it.
    On the top menu click on iSync and choose Preferences.
    Under the Advanced Section click on Reset Sync History. (It may appear as nothing happened, but something did in the background, the history was reset)
    Go ahead and close iSync and then try importing your photos with iPhoto again
    It worked like a charm"
    Resetting the Sync history on iSync and soft rebooting the iPhone surprisingly did it for me. I'm not sure it's an universal fix and it's quite cumbersome (I forgot I still had an iSync application on the mac).

  • Can we import photos from iphone to windows PC when Iphone is locked with passcode?

    Hello,
    I am using Iphone 5 running IOS 8.1.2.
    I recently connected my Iphone to my friends windows laptop to import the photos and videos.
    I observed a strange behaviour. I was able to import photos even when my Iphone was locked with passcode.
    Can anyone explain me why and when can this happen?
    I personally felt, when Iphone is locked with passcode import should not happen.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Best,
    Kuldeep

    A small edit to my above question.
    For importing photos I right clicked on my iphone in windows explorer and selected "Import photos and videos" contextual command.
    I didn't open it to see DCIM folder.
    Hope I receive some information on this.

  • After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

    After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

    If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
    killall iPhoto
    followed by the Return or Enter key
    It might take more than one go for it to take.
    Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down.  Reboot and try iPhoto again.

  • Can't import photos from iPhone

    I have a phantom iPhone. It's not connected to my Mac, but Lightroom and iPhoto still see it. Yet neither app can import the pictures from it anymore, even when the iPhone is really connected.
    I don't know when this started. I'm not much of an iPhone photographer, so I don't normally have pics to import from it. But I now it use to work.
    It has to be something about how the Mac sees the iPhone device. Something screwy there. Anyone have any input?
    I've tried restoring my iPhone, and I've also tried setting it up as a new iPhone from scratch rather than restoring the iPhone's backup. So far no luck. My photography apps don't even see the "new" iphone at this point, but continue to see the old iphone config (even when iPhone is not connected)
    I don't get image thumbnails in iPhoto anymore, which tells me that it's seeing a listing of pictures, but not seeing ACTUAL pictures....which seems normal. Anyway, anyone have any ideas?

    Have you tried rebooting the computer? A simple thing, but can sometimes clean up issues.

  • Can't import photos from Iphone to PC

    I was using Icloud until yesterday...suddenly the pics from the Iphone (photo streamer album) stopped to import to the PC (my picture)

    Try to uncheck the photostreap option in the application on your pc. Click use, and then recheck the box and click use. This works for me every time the iCloud app stops working.
    Not a fix for the bad software, but a workaround until Apple fixes the bug. Been this way since I started using iCloud.

  • Can imac import photos from iphone 6 without using usb?

    i have a mid-2010 imac running latest yosemite and an iphone 6 with ios 8.2.
    i'd like to transfer photos to the computer without connecting the usb cable.  can it be done?  seems bluetooth or airdrop should be the answer, but the devices seem reluctant to work together.

    Yes, it can be done with My Photo Stream.
    For this to happen you need to have iOS 8 on the iPhone and have
    iCloud Photo Library disabled. (Important).
    My Photo Stream enabled.
    iCloud Photo Sharing enabled.
    On your Mac the iPhoto iCloud preferences should be set to as shown in the following screenshot:
    The iPhone must be connected to the internet via WiFi. The Mac can be either WiFi or ethernet.  As each photo is taken by the iPhone it will be added to the My Photo Stream and imported into the Event for that month.

  • Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

    I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
    It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
    I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
    Please help, somebody.

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.
