IPhone and iPhoto '09

Whenever my wife or I connect our iPhone 3G S' to either of MacBooks, iPhoto '09 automatically opens up showing our iPhones in the Device bar on the side asking if we want to import any photos we may have. Is there a way to turn this feature off?
Thank you.

Yes.
Go to preferences in iphoto and tell it to do nothing when a digital cameras is connected.
Of course iphoto will not open when any digital camera is connected.

IPhone photos not seen in iPhoto - iPhone and iPhoto out of sync

Normally when I connect my iPhone 3Gs to my iMac, iPhoto '08 opens and my iPhone is recognized and all photos on the phone are shown in iPhoto, ready for import. However, my iPhone and iPhoto now seem out of sync. Without my iPhone connected, I opened iPhoto and it shows my iPhone in the device list; instead of showing photo thumbnails on my iPhone, iPhoto displays empty boxes where the photos would ordinarily be. When I connect the iPhone, iPhoto continues to show the empty boxes, rather than the photos on my phone. When I try to import one of the "invisible" photos, I get an iPhoto error message: "The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)" How can I correct this behavior so that I can import iPhone photos again?

Try trash the following file
com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
from HD/Library/ Caches
and restart your mac.

Lost photos! aaaggh! (iPhoto 08). I disconnected my HDD temporarily when relocating.I synced my iphone and iPhoto it seems has rebuilt the library from the old copy

I have two ext HDD intended to ensure I don't lose my photos( iPhoto 08). I disconnected my HDD temporarily when relocating.
I then synced my iphone and iPhoto it seems has rebuilt the library from the old copy of the library (2011. I have Time Machine but I can't restore the last 3y photos as I guess Time machine does not back up the other HDD.
Any chance of finding my treasured photos somebody?

Sounds like you have another iPhoto library someplace - under no conditions would iPhoto revert a library to an older one - you just need to find and open the correct one
Depress and hold the option key, launch iPhoto and use the resulting select library to look st the libraries you have

My Wife's Photos are Driving me nuts!! Showing up on my iPhone and iPhoto

We both have 5s's she is still with IOS 7.x (whatever the latest/last was). My Laptop is a MBP circa 2007 Model A 1229. Currently using Yosemite. The issues I am having were present with all of Mavericks as well.
The problem is I cannot stop her photos from automatically coming to my iPhone and hence to my iPhoto. I can stop them if I turn off the features we both would like to use. My last guess is that some how I wound up with a "Subscription" to her photos.
I'm afraid the relevance of us both using one AppleID may be the culprit as well. There are aspects of using the same ID we like - such as Find My iPhone/Mac and being able to see each others location.
Back to the "Subscription" idea - I have no recall of accepting any invite from her nor can I find any evidence of a Subscription other than the problem I am having. For that matter I can't find a way to send an invite for troubleshooting purposes.
Does anyone have a first thought that could get me on my way here to resolve this? Thank you.

No, in order to sync the photo's the only thing you need is to be logged in on the same iCloud account you don't need to be on the same WiFi network.
I would recommend that your wife updates to iOS 8.1 and that you both login on a separate iCloud account. After that you both should join the same familysharing group (hence the update to iOS 8, it's a new function).
This way you both have your own account with your own private space, your own pictures, your own iMessages etc. but you can still see each others location, you can still retrieve each others iPhone in case it gets lost or stolen, you can still use each others purchased apps, ebooks, music, you still can schedule in a shared calendar, you can still share reminders (groceries perhaps?) and even share a photo album with photo's you both care about.
It's a win win situation.

As of iOS 8 there is really no need to share the same iCloud account, at least in my opinion.
Edit: logging out doesn't delete any photos from the cloud and the reason why your picture aren't send to her phone could be because you haven't activated synchronizing on your iPhone.

Iphoto deleted some pictures from both iphone and iphoto.

I marked some photos to import to iphoto. Iphoto asked if I wanted to delete these photos from iphone and i klicked yes.
Iphoto then deleted all of my photos from my iphone.

I cannot find that itunes has made a copy before either.

First i imported my photos to iphoto 8.1.2 when it finished, asked me if i want to "delete them from the camara" i clicked yes and crashed while deleting photos (7,000) from my iphone and the photos disappeared from iphone and iphoto

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

No connection between iPhone and iPhoto

Hello,
this is my problem: connecting my iPhone to my Mac it doesen't react in the usual way anymore – nether iTunes nor iPhoto were launched automatically (which works without any problems a few days ago).
I've got no problem with the not-starting iTunes, because after starting it manually the iPhone is detected as it should. But in iPhoto my iPhone is not detected and no import message is shown even if I've taken new photos with the phone.
I've tried a lot of things: I've repaired my HD (with "First Aid") and deleted some preferences on my Mac. Also I've reset the preferences of my iPhone.
Further I tried to copy the iPhone's folder "DCIM" manually to my HD using the program "Phone View" – but this was canceled with an error message and the already copied files were deleted from my HD immediately.
Also the the system program "Image capture" seems not to be the reason – there's iPhoto selected to handle with digital cameras.
As I connected my iPhone to another Mac with iPhoto running, my iPhone was interestingly detected. But shows the message "No images to import" ...
Now I don't know what I should try more ... please help!
I would reset my iPhone COMPLETELY but I don't want to loose ANY of the token pictures on it. So what can I do? Is there any way to "rescue" them, e. g. by using the backup-file (how does it work)?
This may be important: I've updated the iPhone OS to version 3.1 and installed the app "PhotoGenius" (which I have deleted already).
Here are some information about my hard- and software:
- iPhone 3G S
- PowerMac G5 1,8 GHz Dual
- Mac OS X 10.5.8
- iTunes 9.1
- iPhoto '06 (which works before)
Please help!!
Thank you!
Michael

Try reinstalling iTunes (no need to uninstall, just download and install the current version). Also, check System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab to be sure the iTunes Helper app is there. Finally, you might need to remove and reinstall AMDS:

Location info lost between iPhone and iPhoto

On my iPhone, i go to photos -> places, and i get a map showing where my photos were taken. I import them into iPhoto, and go to "places", and I get a blank map and a message telling me how to add the location, or to "import photos with GPS information.
If I click on the "i" for information on any photo then it is blank.
1. Does iPhone 4 add GPS info to photos?
2. should this GPS info be imported into iPhoto?
3. If the answer to the previous 2 questions is "yes", any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers
Bert

Syncing Photos between iPhone and iPhoto

Two part question:
1) Is it required to launch iPhoto and import photos into the app or are they/can they be transferred just by syncing the phone in iTunes?
2) When I do sync with iPhoto, I often get duplicate photos which I previously imported into iPhoto but they get transferred back to my phone, so I now have the same photo multiple times. This is a annoying as you can imagine. How do I prevent this?
Thanks in advance.

1) Camera roll pics ( taken with iphone ) are NOT part of the itunes sync process at all. You import them as you would from any digital camera - iphoto for example.
2) If you do not delete the pics from iphone once you have imported them, then you may end up importing them twice.
You should regularly import pics from iphone, then you can organize them on your computer and sync whatever you like to iphone.
There is no reason to keep anything in the Camera Roll once you have imported them into your computer. As with everything else on your computer, you should always maintain a backup copy on an external drive, flash drive, cds,dvds,etc,

I imported edited pics from my iPhone and iPhoto ignored all modifications.

Yesterday I took photographs of images that I found at home. I simply edited them on my iPhone to remove the borders and it looked brilliant! However, when I imported the edited pics into iPhoto, all the changes were ignored. iPhoto showed the raw originals, not the edited ones. There was no way to change that. Why?? That was 2 hrs of wasted time on my weekend. Not very Apple-like...

I am sure I have all the latest software updates installed... Probably really gonna have to wait for "Photos.app"
If you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone in the Photos&Camera Settings, you can download the edited photos using the Photos (Beta) app on the iCloud web interface, at https://www.icloud.com/
The mobile devices with iOS 8 already support iCloud Photo Library. The only drawback will be, that you can no longer sync photos from your Mac to the iPhone using iTunes. You will have to upload using the web interface as well.

Issues with iPhone and iPhoto syncing

Having trouble adding photos from my iPhone5 to my iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. The photos are not showing up or syncing. iPhoto says there is an iPhone device but nothing. It worked before, last time I transferred photos as in March 2014 and there was no problem. Any suggestions?

Try lauch iTunes.
Then connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Then try import.

IPhone and iPhoto

I can't seem to find how to stop iPhoto from starting up every time I put my iPhone into the dock for syncing with my iMac. Anyone figure that out?

cumpsty,
There are two things you can do:
1) Import photos that you've taken on the iPhone to your computer and delete them off the iPhone. You can then sync them back to the iPhone if you would like them on there. iPhoto will only open automatically when there are pictures taken with the iPhone.
2) Change Image Capture preferences so that no program opens when you connect a camera. Please note, that this will change the behavior for all cameras connected to the computer, not just the iPhone. More information on Image Capture preferences can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Problem while Importing photos between my iPhone and iPhoto?

Dear all,
Actually this is not a new issue, but I just think now on how to fix it.
I've a Mac with iPhoto installed, and iPhone 4 with ios6 installed.
I've chosen a specific key photo for every album in iPhoto, after importing these albums to photo app in iPhone, it appears with a different key photo in events tab.
So, how to change the key photo in photo app in iPhone?
Or how to import photos from iPhoto to the photo app with the same key photo for each album?
Regards,
Abdelaal,

Sometimes it helps to remove the current "Importing" folder from the iPhoto library package.
See this post by LarryHN how to do it:

Plug in iphone and iphoto not working

when iphone is pluged in iphoto doesnt work ? sits nd spins

Hey Katherine,
WOW! For noob I think you've done a fantastic job.
It looks like you have an unclosed div tag somewhere. Running your site through a validator returns this:
Line 63, Column 62: Unclosed element div.
     <div id="primaryContainer" class="primaryContainer clearfix">
Could be the cause of your problem. One thing you can also try is adding a clearfix to #box6. Not sure if this'll work but give it a shot.
In your code, where you have:
<div id='box6' class='clearfix'>             <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GoLabotec" target="_blank" title="Facebook"> <img id='image8' src='img/facebook.png' class='image' /> </a>       <a href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=labotec" target="_blank" title="Twitter"> <img id='image9' src='img/twitter.png' class='image' /> </a>       <a href="http://labotec.com/?page_id=58" target="_blank" title="Contact"> <img id='image10' src='img/contact.png' class='image' /> </a>         </div>
Change it to:
<div id='box6' class='clearfix'>             <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GoLabotec" target="_blank" title="Facebook"> <img id='image8' src='img/facebook.png' class='image' /> </a>       <a href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=labotec" target="_blank" title="Twitter"> <img id='image9' src='img/twitter.png' class='image' /> </a>       <a href="http://labotec.com/?page_id=58" target="_blank" title="Contact"> <img id='image10' src='img/contact.png' class='image' /> </a><div class="clearfix"></div></div>

Iphone and iphoto syncing problems

Ive been importing my photos to my mac to clear up some space on my iphone, however every time my photos get moved on my mac, they somehow sync back onto my iphone as an album called "Events - From my mac" & "Last 12 months" which puts every photo i had just imported from my phone, back onto my phone. The problem is, these albums are 'un-deletable.' I initially thought it was my icloud but i turned off all my photo streams and what not so i dont think its that.. can anyone pls help me??! :-(

It could be that it is doing a sync from iTunes. Start iTunes with the phone connected, click on the phone under devices in the left pane of iTunes and then click on Photos in the list across the top and look to see what you have selected to sync. If you want to delete all of the synced albums on the phone, remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on that page and sync again; if you want to delete some, change the selection and sync again. Each time you sync via iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes.
