Cant import my photos on pc

hi I'm having trouble syncing my iPhone 4 to PC running windows 7. Since updating to the latest version of iTunes and updating to ios5 I cant import my photos when I plug in my iPhone it says in iTunes that it is syncing and it goes through the 8 steps showed in the status bar in iTunes including the importing photos stage. but my photos are still not appearing on my computer. before the update when I plugged in the phone windows popped up a window importing photos and would do it automatically . I would  appreciate any help as this is driving me up the wall!!!! again thanks in advance

I would caution against "always do" and leave it uncheced. Otherwise when you connect iPod etc device it may not - did not for me - show up in iTunes anymore. That is more of a warning.
I would though consider backup, uncheck all the content you do sync, and resetting. And then sych media content back - one at a time, until you have it the way you need to.
Maybe even remove aside the iTunes backup data and do a fresh backup iPod to iTunes first.

  • I am using lightroom 4 and i cant import my photos because their paths contains blackslashes (499)

    i am using lightroom 4 and i cant import my photos because their paths contains blackslashes (499)
    can yotell me what is this and why its doing this and how i can fix it

    Does the path contain a backslash. If so, change it.   It would help to show the path you are trying to import from.  You could try changing the file handling setting in Preferences to the second setting where backslash is considered illegal and is replaced.  Its probably better to just not use these characters anyway.

  • HT201302 I cant import my photos

    My computer was stolen, along with all my documents. The only photos I have left are on my phone, they are not pictures I have taken with my iphone, but photos that I had uploaded onto my phone from my computer before it was stolen. My phone is being replaced and I am trying to copy the photos from my old phone onto my new computer. iphoto and imagecapture only are copying the photos I have taken with my phone, and do not recongize the old photos on my phone. How can I access these photos to copy them on my new MacBook Pro?

  • Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

    Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
    First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
    I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
    What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
    I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
    I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
    I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • I want to restore my photos from icloud i had ipod touch .. Thats stolen right now so i bought i pod mini but cant get my photo back by using icloud i can get apps back thats not important i could find apps the important was my photos :(

    Hello there i had i pod touch .. Thats stolen and i had many photo on that device so i bought an ipad mini now but i cant get my photos backk i only can restore my apps .. That is not important cus i could download them again the important is getting back my photos i tryed every thing and still couldnt get the photos back only i getting the aps .. Any help :-s ?

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • Cant import photos from EOS400D after upgrading on Lightroom 1.2

    Hi,
    After I upgrade my Lightroom to version 1.2 I cant import photos from my Canon EOS 400D.
    If I go File Import from device... this option is grayed and cant be chose.
    If I click on Import button on Library panel, window with EOD 400D button shows but after I click on it, message No photos were found to import shows.
    Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Richard,
    I've checked my Preferences. On Import tab checkbox beside Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photoswas unchecked. If checked result is same, Lightroom imports only jpeg's.
    Any other suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Bojan

    What version of iPhoto?
    Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

    Hey Bakak,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you keep getting a message to authorize your computer when trying to transfer applications to your iPhone. Here is an article on things that may cause this. I suspect that the section "Authorize using the correct account name" may be most relevant. It is possible that you have multiple Apple IDs and iTunes accounts.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

  • Hello, failing miserably here,  cant import nef files from aperture 3.1.2 to iphone 4.  I am syncing with the projects and smart albums and I am only able to sync the jogs and psd's   Anyone out there to aid this frustrated photographer??

    See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after.  As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

  • How do i remove a last import pictures without importing more photos?

    How do i remove photos from a last import, i cant delete it off my iphone4s and i cant do anymore imports!

    There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

  • I am unable to import new photos in iPhoto 11. Perhaps I should just reinstall from iLife disk? Will it affect my photos in any way?

    Hello,
    I have iPhoto 11 installed on my MacBook. I am now unable to import new photos using USB or by plugging the camera directly into the laptop. Never had that probem before with this camera. Perhaps just reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disk?

    Hello Terence,
    Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
    If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?
    Regards,
    Tom
