Can't sync videos from iPhone to iPhoto

Just bought a MacBook Pro. My daughter has sent me some videos from her iPhone to mine. When I try to sync from iPhone to iPhoto, the photos sync fine, but iPhoto doesn't see the videos, which are saved in the camera roll. Yes, I have checked "include videos" in the iTunes menu.
The funny thing is that on my old G4 PowerBook, iPhoto would see the videos and import them just fine.
What am I not doing?

iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

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.

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't import video from iphone

Hi all -
I shot some footage from my iPhone4 (yes, it'd fully updated) and this morning wanted to import into iPhoto took edit in iMovie and post online. However, upon plugging in my iPhone (to my iMac) and subsequent Sync'ing, iPhoto hangs when I'm importing the footage. It gets stuck on "Preparing to import..." and when I Force Quit, I see that iPhoto (is not responding").

Dang, let me translate that into English! (where's the Edit Message feature in this new interface?)

Presumably you mean 'Does not...'?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Can I download video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2

can I download video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2?

This what I've tried so far:
Downloaded photos from the iPhone to the computer. Videos and photos transferred without problem.
Plugged in the iPod Touch (2) and all photos synced just fine, but no video appeared.
While the iPod was connected I looked In the menu bar of iPhoto, when I chose movies, none were listed.
I cannot find an item listed in the settings menues that seem relevant.
I have emailed the movies successfully from the iPhone 4s.

I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

JordanFox,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
Regards.

You'll need to create a new, temporary library and import into that with the option to delete from your iPhone. Then delete the library and go back to your current library.

Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help you.

HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

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 I import photos from an old iPhoto library?

Can I import photos from an old iPhoto library on an external hard drive to my current iPhoto library? The icon on the hard drive appears greyed out when I try via Import.

Open the older library and export the Photos from it to the Finder (File -> Export) and switch to the new Library and import those.
Or, use iPhoto Library Manager to move the photos, plus all the versions and associated metadata to the new Library.

TD
