Importing photos from iPhone into iPhoto

For some reason, I cannot seem to get iPhoto to recognize my iPhone anymore. I just need to pull photos of iPhone camera into iPhoto so I can make a book. Any suggestions? Thanks.

See my answer to your duplicate post in the iPhoto 6 forum

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • IPhoto 11 (9.3.1) Q: howto delete already imported Photos from iPhone with iPhoto?

    Steps:
    a) i startet iPhoto
    b) choose device iphone
    c) marked some phots
    d) clicked on import selected photos
    e) delete photos after import: NO
    f) photos imported to iphoto library

    Q: how i can delete some of this already imported Photos from iPhone with iPhoto?
    PS:
    i know there is the "Image Capture" app. but i like to do this with iPhoto, because i see there the already imported photos which i can delete safely from iphone.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Viewing and Importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto'09

    Since updating to IOS 5.1, I am unable to view or import photos from my iPhone 4 in iPhoto'09 on my iMac running OS X, v 10.6.8. Can anyone help?

    Your question is probably better suited for the iPhoto forum for iLife applications. This forum is for the iPhoto application for iOS (iPhoto on your iPhone or iPad).
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
    If you repost your question there, it might be helpful to let everyone know exactly what has gone wrong. Does your iPhone not appear in the list of Devices? Does it appear but no pictures are available? It seems it used to work before you updated your iPhone to iOS 5.1... Have you run the Software Update on your Mac to make sure your copy of iPhoto is up-to-date? I have iPhoto '09 8.1.2. and I can import pictures I've taken with my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) into iPhoto but I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion).

  • Can't import photos from iphone to iphoto

    I have an iphone 5 and so does my wife. We have an iMac with iphoto version 9.5.1. We have imported photos from our phones to iphoto many times without any problems. After we both updated our phones to iOS 8.1 iphoto will not recognize that our phones are connected to the computer. Finder also does not show that our phones are connected. iTunes still opens automatically and sync's with our phones, but I can't get any photos off our phones.
    I have read several posts in the community and nothing has worked so far.
    I do not see how to find my phone, or any other device, in the preferences in iphoto. iphoto does not automatically open any more when we connect our phones to the computer, but the preferences shows that iphoto should open any time a camera device is connected to the computer.
    Any ideas?

    Hi ..
    You can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder to import photos from iOS devices to iPhoto.

    iOS devices are not recognized by the Finder.

  • Import photos from iphone to iphoto

    I've been able to easily import photos from my iphone to iphoto by connecting my phone to the computer via USB cable.  However, it does not seem to be working.  I have the older version of iphoto (I believe it's version 9), and when I connect my phone it is not automatically asking if I want to import.  I've checked my preferences in iphoto, and have it set to open when a mobile device is connected.  When reading other posts similar to this issue it seems that there is a "device" section over to the left, which I do not have in my iphoto.  I know the USB cable is working because I can see my phone is connected to my itunes on my computer.  I would like to take my photos off my phone to free up some space.  Thanks!

    Hello bbb34vball,
    Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

  • Importing movies from iPhone into iPhoto

    Hi,
    I hope someone can explain me the following:
    - imported videos from my iphone into iphoto
    - in the events the videos are shown BUT the picture shown for the video isn't from that video & when i open the video to play it shows the correct video (i know     this as the events are organized per day and the picture shown for the movie is actually a picture from another event)
    Anyone has an idea or did I do something wrong.
    Thanks

    Sounds more like you need to rebuild the thumbnails.
    Back Up and then try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • 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)

  • Importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro very slow

    It's taking the best part of thirty minutes to import the photos from my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) into iPhoto (version 9.4.3) using my MacBook Pro (10.8.2). I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto databse which didn't have any positive effect to the process. I've got 8000 photos in iPhoto and 1700 on the iPhone. I'm doing the import everyday so there's usually not more than 20-30 photos to import, any idea why it is taking so long and what I can do to speed it up?

    How full is your system drive? Can it be that you are running out of disk space?
    Has it always been this slow to import from your iPhone, or only recently?
    If it is a recent problem, what has changed lately? Have you installed, uninstalled, or updated any software?

  • 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.
