Can't See iPhone camera roll in iPhoto

I've recently taken a couple of photos on my iPhone 4S, plugged it into my Mac and opened iPhoto so I can import them to my Mac, but I they're not appearing.
Can't find any solutions to this anywhere.
Anyone know the issue?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    You cannot see photos backed up in iCloud on your computer.
    Camera Roll photos backed up to iCloud are still in your Camera Roll on your iPhone.
    You need to regularly sync the photos to your computer. (then you can see them on your computer).
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    then delete them from your Camera Roll.
    You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Weird issues between iPhone Camera Roll and iPhoto?!?!?

    I just noticed when opening Photos and then my Camera Roll of pics taken with my 3G that there is a large black irregular shape area covering the top 2 rows of pics and part of the third row as well. I have exited and returned to the app, shut down and restarted my iPhone and no change. If I tap in the black area (don't know what I'm tapping) it will bring up whatever photo is actually there, but there is no way to see it in the thumbnail preview screen because of the black overlay. If I connect the iPhone to my Macbook and open iPhoto, it seems to see that there are photos in my Camera Roll, but they are all blank and iPhoto thinks there are 32 photos there but there is not that many because I have deleted some of them :-O Clicking on a blank photo does not bring up the actual photo, just nothing happens.
    So, to try and remedy this I manually deleted all the photos from my Camera Roll on the iPhone, so there were NO PHOTOS in the Camera Roll and then did a sync with my MacBook. iPhoto still thinks there are 32 photos and they are all blank placeholders like before! I tried to "import all" just to see what would happen and 4 were readable and the rest were "unreadable files". I said to delete all the photos after importing but it still lists 32 photos there. Even when the iPhone is disconnected, the iPhone icon stays in iPhoto and I have to manually unmount it. So, there is total disconnect between what is actually on my Camera Roll on the iPhone and what is being seen by iPhoto. It's as though iPhoto is stuck in a particular point in time and can't get rid of some cache or memory of a previous iPhone Camera Roll state. Before updating to OS 3.0, whenever I unplugged the iPhone after a sync, the icon would disappear as a mounted drive in iPhoto so that has changed as well.
    I have no idea where to even begin trying to fix this problem. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.5 and not sure whether this is an iPhoto problem or iPhone problem or both?!?! Any feedback would be extremely appreciated!

    I'm having a similar issues. Every program on my Mac that is capable of acquiring images from a digital camera (iPhoto, Graphics Converter, Image Capture, etc.) thinks that my iPhone is mounted and that there are 77 pictures to download. It doesn't matter whether the phone is actually connected to the computer or not. I've even restored the iPhone to the factory state and it makes no difference. Thus, I believe the problem to be on the Mac itself. I don't know the details on how it works (could anyone enlighten me?) but I'm very surprised that multiple programs are having the same issue. Obviously, there is some layer that is between the actual device and the programs that use the device. That layer must be corrupted. But what is it, where is it, and how can I fix it?

  • My Computer doesn't see iPhone camera roll.

    Hey everyone!
    This is my first time posting here and I'm in a bit of a pickle so I hope someone can help me!!
    My problem: I have an iPhone 3G and I noticed that after upgrading to 3.0 and then 3.0.1 that My Computer (I run Vista) can't see my iPhone camera roll thus preventing me from copying any pictures to my hardrive. iTunes works fine - but I have to manually sync when the program is loaded. I've tried reloading everything, going back to older versions of both iTunes and the iPhone OS but with the same result - no iPhone icon in My Computer.
    Any suggestions???

    Might be driver problem. Try "update" the driver for Apple Iphone in Device Manager. Choose update then choose driver file from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
    If that's not working. Unplug your iPhone. Then try uninstall Apple Iphone driver from Device Manager. After that, reboot, and plug in your iPhone. Vista now should start install 'new hardware' driver. Voila.

  • HT201302 Why can't iTunes synchronize photos from my iPhone camera roll to iPhotos on my Mac?

    I was really surprised about iTunes. It has option 'iPhone -> Photos -> Sync with iPhoto'. iTunes is so cool and can sync data through WI-FI so I am happy I don't need to plug-in iPhone to Mac with cable.
    But this option works only one way. So I can sync images from iPhoto to my iPhone, but can not do it other direction.
    I know I can do it with cable and iPhoto but it's stupid: use iTunes to copy data from Mac to iPhone and iPhoto to copy photos from iPhone to Mac. Furthermore iTunes is integrated with iPhoto and iTunes can talk to my iPhone without cable and internet just using WI-FI network.
    I know I can copy my photos using iCloud and My Photo Stream, but it's so complicated, it uses my traffic, it stores my personal data on external servers. I don't like it.
    I would be very happy if you can implement this feature. So I can go home and be sure my photos is already on my Mac cause I am using the same WI-FI network and it was copied by iTunes automatically.
    Kind Regards,

  • Why can I only see my Camera Roll when uploading photos?

    Trying to upload pictures to Facebook but when I click the camera I can only see the camera roll, can't see any of my albums.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you go to system preferences and then displays you'll get all the options for adjusting what you are asking for. I also use a TV for the same purpose you are describing. I find it works best to leave it in the manner you are describing. Mirroring just duplicates everything unless of course that is the effect you are going for. You can also adjust the positioning of the monitors in the relation to each other weather you want one on the left or right or which one to be the main and secondary. Then all you will need to do is swipe the media player onto the other monitor and then your main monitor will be free to use while you watch your videos on the other. Essentially, your desktop area will span your computer monitor and the TV screen you can also change the desktop image on both screens to different images they don't need to be the same. I watch a lot of TV shows I have in itunes. This way I can watch TV and still use my computers main monitor for the internet or whatever.

  • IPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported.

    iPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported as they are 'unrecognised format' although are jpg. 
    Aperture and Bridge can't import them either so deduce problem is with iPhone Camera or Camera Roll. 
    Can import files to my MacPro from my DSLR and compact cameras - to iPhoto, Aperture and Bridge whether Raw or JPG.
    iPhoto shows 221 imported photos and 357 un-imported photos as grey boxes.
    iPhone software current version.  Have tried restarting.
    Mac Pro using 10.6.8, 8GB Ram and masses of HD space - running very well.  Application software fully up-to-date.
    Ideas?
    Many thanks.

    I saw a process that seemed to work,  in Iphoto , uncheck the " hide photos already imported box" which revealed the unimported photos in the camera roll, then simply select them and import them.

  • How can I get the many photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad (no OS 7 on either) - thanks!

    How can I get all of the photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad3?  Both are running OS 5x and 6x.  Thank you -

    Hey David152,
    Thanks for the question. First, you’ll want to import the photos to your personal computer:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    After doing so, you can then sync the photos over to your iPad:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Also, you can enable Photo Stream so that new photos taken with your iPhone will automatically appear on your iPad. For more information regarding Photo Stream, see this resource:

  • How can i back my camera roll before updating my iphone 4 (version 4.3.3) to ios 6 or ios 5.1.1 ?

    hi there! i have an iphone 4 (version 4.3.3) and want to update to ios. I connected my phone to my laptop (for the irst time) and want to make sure i backed up my camera roll before proceeding to update. I transferred my apps to itunes but a window popped up later saying that there are a few apps that are not tranferred. Is there a menu on itunes where i can see what exactly is backed up, so as to proceed? I would be grateful if you could use some print screen.
    thank you in advance

    You need to import all the photos, in your camera roll, BEFORE you even think about updating your phone. The iPhone camera roll is NOT designed for photo storage. It should be used for temporary storage only, and your photos imported, on a regular basis, just like photos from any digital camera. If you don't do this, you risk losing ALL of your photos. If you want photos on your phone, sync them back to your phone.

    Once you've imported these photos, follow the directions here to update your phone:

    While the iPhone camera roll is included in the iPhone backup, if you rely on this, I guarantee you will eventually lose ALL of your photos...guaranteed.

    Known bug.  Quit the Camera App, double-tap the home key and delete Camera from the recent apps bar. Fire it up again, should be good.
