Cant export photos from Iphone to Iphoto?

Never an issue until recently. Always just plugged the Iphone into my MacBook and Iphoto would automatically import new photos taken on my Iphone and ask if I wanted to import. Now I cant seem to get any response. I can sync my phone normally, I can put new events etc from the computer to the phone but not the other way. When I click the "import" in Iphoto my Iphone is not an option.

This means your iPhone is no longer recognized by iPhoto at all when connected when your iPhone includes photos in the Camera Roll. Does your iPhone's Camera Roll include any photos saved from a received email or from a website? If so, this has been attributed to causing this problem and I'm not sure why. I haven't experienced the same yet and I've saved some photos from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS.
If you have any photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll that were not captured by your iPhone, email these photos to yourself for access with the Mail.app on your Mac followed by deleting the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll. The photos can be saved from the received message with the Mail.app on your Mac into iPhoto.
Check if this resolves it.

Exporting photos from iPhone to iPhoto before syncing

GOAL: I'd like my iPhone to be sync'd with my iPhoto albums & carry some of my favourite photos on my Phone but not take up too much memory. That way. I can check the boxes for which albums I want to put on my iPhone, but iPhoto will be the master copy. Make sense?
DILEMA: Some of the photos on my iPhone haven't been imported into iPhoto (for whatever reason - don't ask because I'm not 100% sure) and I don't want to lose them, but;
a) when I open iTunes and I can't 'see' the same folders as I can on my iPhone (apart from the camera roll) - so I can't move/copy/ export the remainder
b) the option to sync iPhone using iPhoto means overwriting with my iPhoto library
c) MobileMe has no 'multiple' upload function
d) iPhoto has no import from iPhone function
I get the hunch that this functionality might be something to do with copyright infringement (cool) but it's not allowing me to move/copy photos that I took & own the copyright to (uncool)...
Either I'm missing something or the Genius watching the support topics just got a raise for suggesting a new feature of iPhoto. If any of this makes sense and I'm missing a trick, please post something to put me out of my misery peeps!
Please & Thank You as always,
J

Photos sync from iPhoto to the iPhone via iTunes, with the sole exception of pics that are taken on the iPhone itself - those go into the camera roll and can be transferred from the iPhone to iPhoto. But, photos in any album in the iPhone Photos app (not the camera roll, but albums) must have come from iPhoto.
If you sync the iPhone to a new computer, iTunes-managed media content (music, videos, apps, and pics from iPhoto) put on by the old computer is replaced by content from the new computer. You mention a backup - do you mean a backup of the iPhone? If so, iTunes media content is not backed up (pics in the Camera Roll are, but no other pics). See this kbase article about iPhone backups.
So, it sounds like you did not transfer your full iPhoto library from your PowerBook to your iMac. If that's the case, you should do that (using an external hard drive, or Firewire target disk mode, etc.) then sync the pics to the iPhone from the iMac.
It is possible to extract the pics from the iPhone using 3rd party software (e.g. TouchCopy, google it) - but, remember that pics are 'optimized' during transfer to the iPhone. Optimizes means reduced to 2 megapixel images, so if you get them from the iPhone you can never recover the original high resolution images - thus, the best solution is to get them from the PowerBook.

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.

Can't finish importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

I have about 2,000 pictures in my iPhone 4.
When I try to import my photos from iPhone to iPhoto Library, it stops importing after about 250 photos. Keeps saying 1,489 remaining(something like that) photos and the picture image on your iPhoto stops or freeze there. (Normally you can see what's importing into your iPhoto)
Tried rebooting the MacPro Tower and iPhone. My computer is up to date.
I was not sure if I had corrupted photo images, so I deleted bunch of photos around where iPhoto would stall.
I have no idea what's going on. Could someone please help me?
Thanks,

Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files to the Desktop and import from there.
Regards

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed restore instead of sync. Now it's deleted my latest photos taken a week ago. Is there a way to get back those photos via backup somehow?

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?

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.

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.
Cheers

Sync Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

Why I can't sync photos from iPhone to iPhoto? Both iPhoto and Image Capture only read 26 photos (and it cannot be import too) when I have hundreds in the Iphone.

Yes, it's all in 'camera roll' folder.. And iPhoto only shows 26 boxes that ready to be import, but when I clicked 'Import All' it said that 'error in sync'

Backup photos from iphone to iphoto with face recognision

I recently changed my harddisk on my macbook pro, fresh installed os x, updated to mountain lion.
I know most ppl would say I can transfer my data from time-machine, which I could. But my previous disk was backedup from my old old mac, 5 years ago, there is a lot crap on it which I don't want, etc.
Anyway. so I have the new system, and installed ilife. Then here is an issue:
- you can import all your photos from iphone to iphoto without problem,
- but all the face recognition and locations(for each album) defined on my iphone are't imported
So my questions is: how?
Also, it would be very handy if we can import apps from iphone to itunes? If you can, not sure how?

I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

Cant email photos from iPhone 3G

This is a fairly recent problem for me but I am unable to email photos from my iPhone (either photo's synced from iPhoto or those taken on phone itself). Its a 3G phone and is running firmware 2.1. I'm not able to upload photos using the photo uploader feature in the Facebook app either.
After doing some research and some tests, I noticed that I can accomplish these tasks if I'm connected to a WiFi network or if I'm using EDGE (ie, 3G turned off) but NOT when I'm on the 3G netowrk. The error I'm getting is something about the message could not be sent and it ends up in my outbox. I have two email accounts set up on the phone, one a Yahoo account, the other a corporate email account. The same error occurs using either account.
I cant think of anything I've done to change the phone recently other than add a couple of seemingly unrelated Apps from the App Store (e.g., iTV, Grocery IQ, Pandora).
Any thoughts?

Had a guy at the Genius Bar at the local Apple store look at the phone yesterday. He swapped SIM cards and was able to send photos so it would seem that its a SIM card issue. He mentioned that they're starting to see odd problems here and there related to the 3G network which coincidentally or no was apparently fully rolled out recently here in So Cal. So now I need to go to an AT&T store to get a new card...hopefully that will do the trick.
