I can't sync my iPhone 4 photos with my deck top. It all just stoped working. When trying to sync photos I get the following message:
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.
What do I need to do to get the syncing process back to normal?

Hi there obywon!
I have an article for you that can help you find some other ways to import those pictures from your iPhone onto your computer. You should try a couple of different programs that would import the photos into your computer. This first article can tell you the different programs that you will want to try when attempting to import photos:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

If you are still having issues with importing those photos, you will want to see this article for next steps on resolving this issue:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto says it cannot import my photos because there was a problem downloading an image, how do I fix this?

Hello! So I have a Sandisk class 10 memory card and whenever I try to import photos onto iPhoto from the memory card it says "IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". I have a Macbook Air and IPhoto 9.5.1.. I've tried a lot of what other people say on other questions like this and it still won't work! I've tried using image capture, creating a new library, and creating a new user to see if it worked there. I have enough space for the photos, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help, Thanks!

I had that happen a couple of times because even though the camera displayed the picture there was a problem with the way it was saved to the chip - and that caused problems with all pictures after it.
My version of IPhoto (ILIFE09) does show where the error occurs on direct import from the camera -- on the camera deleting the first picture where the error occurred allowed import of the others. Once it was the first picture, once in the middle.
Problem happened when I took a second picture before the first one was 100% finished saving.

Iphone import issue: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image

I keep getting the error message above everytime I try to import from iPhone. 1 photo comes through and the rest are blank images on the import screen. Anyone know what I can do?

What is the exact message? What format are the videos?
I would try importing smaller groups of photos and then import smaller groups of videos - there is a good chance tha the problem is a large video or a video format problem but that is just a guess at this point
