Cannot transfer photos from iPhone into iPhoto 9

So I was transferring vacation pictures and had no problem uploading pictures from my memory card into iPhoto but when I plugged in my iPhone and clicked 'import selected', a box came up saying "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library". Does anyone know whats going on and how I fix this problem? I have uploaded photos from my iPhone many times before this and have never had a problem. 

And it's  iphoto '09.  I'm not quite sure what that means though.  Do you mean on the hard drive? Sorry, not super computer savy.

    I have detele the iPhoto cache from user/library/caches/com.apple.iPhoto but it made no difference.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.

  • TS3697 cannot transfer photos from iphone to pc tried everything

    cannot transfer photos from iphone 4s to pc tried everything including bump

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Cannot transfer photos from iphone 4s to windows pc XP no autoplay window

    Before i can transfer all my Photos and videos from iphone to pc but when i updated my itunes to version 10 no autoplay popped up window and my pc doesnt detect the portable device/iphone anymore.

    Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC:
    On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer, but there’s two ways to go about this:
    Plugin your iPhone to the computer without iTunes running
    Wait for a popup asking you what you want to do with the device
    Select “View Content”
    Find your photos through the folders that are displayed
    Copy in Windows as usual
    If your iPhone is already plugged into your PC, you can try this method:
    Plugin your iPhone to your PC
    Open “My Computer”
    Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
    Open iPhone to find your Photos
    Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/paste them into the desired location on your PC

  • Cannot import photos from iPhone into IMAC

    I receive an error message when I attempt to import the photos on my iPhone or my iPad into iPhotos.......the error messages states that I have "unreadable files".
    Can anyone help me?

    OK, So I found out that I can only import photos from my Camera Roll only. I did try to transfer the photos from my PC to my MAC using Migration Assistant. Both my PC and my MAC are on the same Network, but the two computers never connect. Anyone know how to remedy this?

  • Cannot import photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    For some reason I'm unable to download photos from my iPhone to IPhoto on my MacBook Pro.  iPhoto doesn't seem to recognize it as a device conected to the computer while iTunes does so it's not giving me the option to import them.  What the heck is going on and how can I import them into iPhoto?

    Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.

  • SL & permissions when importing photos from iPhone into iPhoto

    Got a weird one here.
    SL, iphoto '09, iphone os 3.
    Before SL, I could import photos from the iphone into a shared iphoto library and the default file permissions on uploaded photos would be read-only to all users, and so all users of the Mac could happily see all uploaded photos.
    However, since SL, the default permissions to all are No Access (changing the permissions on the underlying file sort this, but that's a tedious manual operation of course).
    Strangely though if I connect a digital camera then the default permissions for photos uploaded from that are read-only to all as desired. So it does look like an issue around the combo of SL and iPhone.
    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get the behaviour I want with SL?
    Thanks,
    Marlon

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Cannot upload photos from iPhone to iPhoto (NOT Camera Roll)

    I just came back from vacation and stored all the photos I took with my digital camera on my iPhone so I could clear out the camera and continue using it. I have ovr 1,000 pics and videos combined on my iPhone that I cannot seem to import onto iPhoto. I have no problem uploading to iPhoto the pics from my iPhone that I take using my iPhone but cannot figure out how to get the other pictures off. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    I just came back from vacation and stored all the photos I took with my digital camera on my iPhone so I could clear out the camera and continue using it.
    Also, if you stored them by syncing in iTunes, that was a bad idea. The pictures are downsized when they are synced to the phone, and all you can recover are low-res copies of the originals. The iPhone is NOT a good backup mechanism.
    If for some reason you have no access to the computer where you originally downloaded the photos from the camera, there are third-party programs that will recover (low-res, downsized) photos from the phone. Google PhoneView or TouchCopy.

  • Cannot upload photos from iphone to iphoto

    Since upgrading my Mac to OS Mavericks I have lost the facility of uploading photos from my iPhone to iPhoto.
    I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and my phone runs iOS7 with iCloud.
    Some advice has said refer to iPhoto Preferences and use the iCloud link there, but there is no iCloud link in my Preferences.  I have tried to upgrade iPhoto, but discovered that it is only possible through iLife and I don't need all of that.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Give this a try:

    This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
    Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

  • 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).

  • I can not import my photos from iphone into iPhoto

    hi,
    I've amassed around 18Gbs of photos and videos on my iphone and have never been able to import them!
    In the old iphoto it would start importing then stop (deleting photos imported so far) since upgrading to Lion I can't even see the iphone appear in iphoto.
    BTW I'm really trying to back the phone up so I can more to the iphone 5  - but that's failed (well I gave up after 6 hours!) so I thought I would import photos and speed up the backup process..
    Why is this so hard!
    Any tips?
    J

    Some suggestions:
    Restrart the Phone, if that fails reset the phone.
    Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)

  • Cannot import photos from iphone to iphoto after ios6 upgrade

    I upgraded to IOS6 a few days ago. Now iphoto does not start up automatically when I attach my phone.  When I open the app, my phone is not recognized and the "import photos" button is no where to be found.
    I've tried checking off photostream, unchecking photostream; changing the preferences to image capture; rebooting my phone.  I really need to get these photos off of my phone as it is full.  Please help!!!
    Thanks!
