How come iPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore?

When I first got an iPhone I could sync it to iPhoto and take all the photos off.  Now iPhoto doesn't recognise my iPad or iPhone. Additionally I have overcapacity of 5 GB on my 64 GB iPhone, all because of my 30000 pictures.  Macbook Pro
Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your help, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, so the only option I have left, to my knowledge is to visit an Apple Store, physically, with my laptop and iPhone,

  • Help!  iPhoto doesn't recognize my camera anymore

    My Pentax Optio S4 has worked great for the last couple of years - when I plugged in the USB cable, iPhoto opened and all went well. Now all of a sudden nothing happens, and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera and neither does Image Capture. Did I inadvertantly DO something, or does anybody know what happened and how to get my seamless importing back?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Move the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and the "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" files from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash and reset the Image Capture preferences to recognize your camera.

  • IPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone

    When I plug my phone into my mac and open up iPhoto, it says it recognizes my brother's iPhone. It also says there are no pictures to import. I have an iPhone full of photos I'd like to import to my mac. I have used iPhoto on this mac before, but this is the first time this has happened to me. Any ideas?

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501 from
    HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.
    If that doesn't help: try use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)

  • Itunes and iphoto doesn't recognize my iphone.

    Normally when I plug my Iphone 4 into my MacBook, the itunes icon and iphoto icon always pop up, these last 2 days they haven't and when I manually open them my device isn't located. When pluging my iphone into the computer it also isn't charging. I have tried different charging cords that work when plugged into an outlet device so I know they are working. Not sure what to do?

    There are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

  • IPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s?

    I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac to import my photos, and iPhoto shows "Apple iPhone" as a device connected. My phone is named "gPhone" and is not listed. None of my pics are available to import.

    Just wanted to add, I had the same problem. For me, a hard reset of my iPhone 4S solved the problem.
    I didn't have to check the box you mentioned, and I'm curious why that would make a difference (though clearly that helped chaargers)? That box just seems to be for putting photos on your iPhone that are in your iPhoto library.

  • Iphoto doesn't recognize my library anymore

    Hi,
    While creating a slideshow with iPhoto, my macbook suddenly freezed completely. I had to turn off the power to be able to use it again.
    But now when starting iPhoto, I have to choose a library or create a new one. When I select my existing library and press Open, nothing happens.
    I used iPhoto Library Manager trying to fix it, but it doesn't fix my slideshow which I need. iPhoto Library Manager does show my slideshow though.
    How can I use iPhoto with my library again ?
    Using Mac OS X 10.9.4 with iPhoto 9.5.1.
    I already deleted a lock-file from the libraries' folder, but no change.
    Thanks in advance,
    Edwin

    2 different cases :
    1. not having a new library made : when I double-click with ⌥ + ⌘ in Finder, it still asks me to choose a library or create a new one
    2. having made a new library before .this is the new (empty) default library : Now when I double-click with ⌥ + ⌘ on the corrupted library, it asks me to repair. When I select Repair, it finished within a second an then starts importing photo's. I once let it finish, but the result was that I did not have my slideshow, but all my photo's in the new library.

  • My PC doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    Hello.
    Today I was updating from iOS 6 to iOS 7. Ok, I downloaded the new OS, extracted it and then a backup was made. After the backup, on iTunes, a message appears: Waiting for iPhone.... I waited something about 5 minutes, and when I look to my iPhone, I see this screen:
    Then, iTunes showed me an "Unknown Error" and by there, my PC doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore.
    And about my iPhone? Well... the above screen is still there.
    Someone has any idea to help me?

    I 'had' a problem with my computer not recognizing my iphone 4s when I plugged in the USB cord. Tried to find a solution on the internet but no luck as usual. It worked before, but not this time. Tried everything. Finally I tried the original cord that came with the phone. It WORKED! Must have to use an Apple cord with an Apple phone. I was using a generic cord to charge my iphone while on the laptop and it would charge fine. It probably just don't have a wire in it for 'data transfer'.

  • IPhoto won't recognize my iPhone

    hi hello, all of suddenly my iPhone 3GS will not appear in my iphones when i sync to my iMac. Now I can't retrieve any photo's I've taken. There was no preference changes, and I already tried Applications>Image Capture>Preferences>Camera:when a camera is connected, open:iPhoto. ..nothing
    Still iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone. What the heck happened?? and how to fix?
    Thanks for your time, James

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
    from HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.
    If that fails: try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.
    Whenever I plug my iPhone into my computer it starts to charge like normal but iTunes does not recognize it. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple (Downloading the latest iTunes version, reinstalling iTunes, updating the software on my phone, restarting my computer, etc). I've also looked at various tutorials on different websites that showed other methods. Among these methods were going into the control panel Device Manager or the Services program and taking certain steps within said programs. It seems I have tried everything under the sun to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and so far nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do which is why I've resorted to this. Anybody know what might be going on? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my computer with the latest iTunes installed as previously stated. I've also just installed iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and this has not changed anything. If anyone has any idea what is going on and would like to tell me how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you've gone through this article and made sure the Apple Mobile device service is installed and running, you should look at the security software on your computer.
    To make sure it isn't the security software, you can either follow the steps in the article below, or you could just uninstall it and test again. Then reinstall it again when you're done.

  • ITunes 11.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s with IOS 7 - phone is charging by iTunes doesn't see it.  Any suggestions?

    I upgraded my daughter's iMac to iTunes 11.1 and now it doesn't recognize her iPhone 4s.  The phone will charge and DropBox see's it but iTunes doesn't.  Any suggestions?  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the software so that doesn't work.  Thanks for any help!

    Hello jlgougeon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Best of luck,

  • My macbook doesn't recognize my iphone 5 and wont let me sync my music or apps in itunes

    My itunes 10.6.3 (25) in my macbook OS X doesn't recognize my iphone 5. So I can't sync my apps or music to my phone (although I was able to sync my photos and videos through iphoto) I rebooted both my phone and mac and switched connecting ports. Nothing.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried in different locations, does this happen everywhere. Have you tried a hard restart.

  • ITunes 10.2.1.1  doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

    iTunes 10.2.1.1  doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

    I recently installed IOS 4.3.2. and ITunes 10.2.2 on my 64 Bit Vista PC. Since upgrading the IOS on any of my devices, none of them are recognized in iTunes. The computer recognizes them in My Computer but not in iTunes. Apple support pointed me to http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US which directs you to uninstall/reinstall iTunes and all related programs. That has not solved the problem. The only guidance I have been given is from a tech at the Apple store who mentioned that there might be issues with the drivers in Vista. I have not been able to find any help with solving that issue. Does anybody have any thoughts.

  • ITunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. Please help

    iTunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. When I connect iPhone to laptop, iTunes sends me an alert:" This iPhone can't be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". This started right after I have upgraded iTunes from 10.5 to 10.5.1. Please help !

    Thanks for the hint ! I used the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
    3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
    Had to remove all Apple related softwares and utilities, and re-install all back. iTunes recognizes my phone now ! Cheers !
