IPhone no longer recognized by iPhoto

Hi,
iPhoto no longer recognizes my iPhone when it's plugged in. The phone still shows up in iTunes.
Any ideas on "triggering" iPhoto to see the phone?
Thanks.

I recently have been having the same problems too, my iPhoto is not seeing my iPhone. iTunes, however, does.
As suggested, I've tried setting the AUTO-LOCK to NEVER on my iPhone, but it has not solved the problem.
I've also tried deleting any and all images that were emailed to me, MMS'd to me, or images I've downloaded from the internet, and still iPhoto does not recognize my iPhone.
I also tried using Aperture2, and Picassa to see if by those applications might possibly detect my iPhone, but unfortunately they do not either. Is it possible that there might be a conflict with photos taken by third party photo app's? For example, I recently downloaded an app called AutoStitch and Camera Zoom. I only ask because I keep seeing solutions offered up that image files that were not taken by the iPhone dedicated app might be what is keeping iPhoto from recognizing the iPhone. Just a thought?
Thanks.

Canon SX260HS no longer recognized by iPhoto

After upgrading to Mavericks my Canon SX260HS is no longer recognized by iPhoto. When plugged in to a USB port the system report shows the camera, but iPhoto does not mount the camera. The camera briefly displays "communication error" on its display. The SD card can be read by using a standalone card reader attached to another USB port. Looks like some change to the camera communications in Mavericks is at fault, but other than using a card reader I see no solution. Help?

Wow. You've answered nearly all the questions I was going to ask. What version QT are you running?
Try logging into another account on your Mac and see if the camera can be recognized there. If it is then there's an issue with your primary account. Also try booting into Safe Mode and again check to see if the camera can be seen in your primary account.
Booting into Safe Mode runs the File System Check (fsck) during the boot and only loads the basic minimum extensions, etc. needed by the system. See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X). Again this will see if there's something that you've added that is causing the problem.
A workaround until you find a solution is to use a card reader. IMO, it's the best way to upload from a camera.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Sony Cybershot No Longer Recognized in iPhoto

Just did a recent software update that my iBook let me know about this past Saturday. One of those updates I installed involved something to do with importing pictures from cameras. Now, my Sony camera is no longer recognized in iPhoto and I never had any complication with this before the update. Is there a way to reverse the installation of the upgrade or is there a soltuion?

This sounds more like a software problem than an iBook problem. You might try posting your question in the iPhoto forum where all the smart photographers hang out. They probably have experience in dealing with this sort of issue.
Good luck!

IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

Hi
My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Roland

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.

IPhone 5 is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes (OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5)

I am helping a friend with her new iPhone 5.
Issue is that it is recognized by iPhoto but not iTunes.
iPhone 5 16GB, iOS 6.1.4
OSX 10.6.8v1.1, iTunes 10.7, iPhoto 7.1.5
Computer: iMac C2D 2.4 GHz (Early 2008)(iMac8,1), 1 GB RAM,
History, recently updated in-place from 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.8v1.1 SL, just for the iPhone 5.
Installed iTunes 10.7 (as we do not like interface and loss of separate Playlist view in iTunes 11).
Noted that iPhone 5 stipulates that iTunes 10.7 or higher is required -- So should be OK there.
Initially iPhone was recognized by both iPhoto and iTunes. Then shortly later, iTunes did not see it anymore, was missing from iTunes Devices list.
Called Apple Support, agent walked us through removing iTunes and the iTunes Receipt packages.
Then Reinstalled iTunes 10.7. Ran Permissions Repair. Restarted computer.
Seemed all good, iTunes (10.7) saw and synced and updated the iPhone.
But Now, after two or three weeks, when user plugged in her iphone and ran iTunes, it did not show the iPhone at all, though iPhoto did start up and show pictures.
So the iMac computer sees the iPhone5 well enough to get picture data, but apparently not well enough for iTunes sync.
(she tends to use the wall charger and not plug it into the iMac very much at all).
In all other known respects, both the iPhone5 and the iMac C2D seem to function normally.
Any thoughts?
I looked at KB article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
And at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X).
And finally am thinking we may need to ALSO do the uninstall via: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (Remove Apple Mobile Device Service). But I have not visited with here to do that yet.........)
Any thoughts on best way to proceed?
Thanks.

Iphone no longer recognized in itunes

My iPhone is no longer recognized in iTunes. I can see it as a device in Windows, but it no longer appears in iTunes.

Well, after going thru the Apple fix of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (and all related products), it now recognizes the iPhone. Why is it I have to spend 2.5 hours going thru this process instead of Apple releasing only tested and proven products? The same thing happened with my first iPhone when I brought it home and installed it, it blew up Windows. I had to do a system restore. Look if you guys don't want to seriously support Windows, fine just say so. I'll move on to a Windows phone and be perfectly happy.
My first computer was an Apple 2+, but I got driven off by high pricing and limited software. Apple people like to make fun of Microsoft, but I haven't had these kind of problems with Windows since about Release 2.something.
I'm done screwing around with you guys. Call me if you ever start to act professionally and get it right.

IPhone no longer recognized as a drive on my Windows machine

When I connect my iPhone to my computer, the standard window/dialog no longer appears, asking me what I want to do (Open this folder for viewing, etc.). The iPhone is no longer recognized as a drive on my computer. Consequently, I can no longer browse the iPhone's photos folder as a regular Windows drive.
I opened the Device Manager and Apple iPhone appears in the Portable Devices section with the error message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged."
However, when I connect the iPhone to my computer, iTunes starts up normally and begins syncing the iPhone. I just want to regain the ability to browse my iPhone's photos folder the way I used to.
I've reinstalled iTunes, but that hasn't helped.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Are there any suggestions/solutions out there?
Thanks in advance.

To copy photos from the Camera Roll start your photo capture software on your computer. Does that application recognize your iPhone as a camera? Is so you're good to go for copying the photos to your computer.

My Canon EOS is no longer recognized by iPhoto.

I have been using my Canon EOS with my iMac OSX Version 10.8.5 and recently iPhoto stopped recognizing it. I am unable to download photos. I have to copy them from the memory card. At the same time, Dropbox is recognizing them and a window pops up when I plug in my camera and turn it on, asking me if I want to upload to Dropbox.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I get my Canon EOS recognized by iPhoto again?
Thank you.

Get the photos off of the card and then reformat it using the camera's format command and try again

Canon Powershot S2 IS no longer recognized by iPhoto

I have been unable to get iPhoto to import photos from my Canon S2 IS since the upgrade to 6.0.5. I have tried some suggestions from another thread -- running the 10.4.8 updater again as well as the iPhoto 6.0.5 updater again. Repaired permissions. Restarted of course. Reformatted memory card in camera. Tried different USB ports and cables.
I really don't believe the camera itself is the problem as it does appear on my husband's PowerBook (also running 10.4.8 and iPhoto 6.0.5).
Oh, and the Canon Image Browser is also not seeing the camera, but it does appear in the system profiler.
I'm at my wits end!!! Help? Please?
Thanks.

IPhone no longer recognized after installing iTunes 9.2

Hi there. I have an original iPhone, a Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.11, and everything was working perfectly until I updated iTunes to 9.2. Now when I connect by iPhone to the computer literally nothing happens. The phone does not show up. It does not open iPhoto or iTunes. I have restarted my computer several times, reset the phone several times, and still nothing. I am planning to buy the new iPhone as soon as it is available, but in the meanwhile I am really concerned about not being able to sync to iTunes. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks.

I'm running OSX 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro (a couple of years old) ... and my (original) iPhone is recognized just fine by the new iTunes 9. I too am anxiously awaiting arrival of my iPhone 4 ... and got the same kind of shipment information as other folks described on the iPad; i.e. being shipped direct from China via Hong Kong. I sure hope they've got the bugs worked out of that process since the iPad 3G fiasco. I was also amused (NOT!) by "additional information" in the shipping-email I got from Apple. Basically it says that if there is a delay in activating the phone via iTunes, "trust us" that Apple and AT&T will be working to get it activated as quickly as possible and will send out an email when it is activated --- in other words "don't call us, we'll call you".
David Brooks during his commentary last night on The News Hour made some comments about how business processes are really starting to break down in this country. I couldn't agree more. Last Thursday's mess was inexcusable! You'd think that the huge (and incredibly profitable) corporations like (BP), Apple, and AT&T would spend as much time and effort and money to get their processes in as good a shape as their products! Urrrrrr! Let's hope that the iPhone enrollment process goes better.

IPhone no longer recognized by PC, won't show up in itunes

I've had my iPhone for months and it always worked and synced perfectly with my HP computer running XP. Last night out of the blue when I plugged it into the usb 2.0 port I always use, it stopped recognizing it. It gives me a message that there's an unknown device and shortly after that the device has malfunctioned. I know the iPhone is fine because when I plug it into my notebook it recognizes it and tries to sync right away. I tried different ports, shut down and restarted the computer a half dozen times, reinstalled itunes 8.0.1.11, gone into the device manager and removed the unknown device and tried again but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

are you using a usb hub ?
i had similar problem but then relized my usb 2.0 hub was acting up (belkin 4 port) when my printer wouldnt work
had to unplug power and disconnected from computer and let it rest
so far so good
hope this helps

IPhone no longer recognized by Lightroom

It seems that (after updating to the latest iTunes?) I can no longer import photos from the iPhone into Lightroom, as I was able to before. Does anybody have the same issue and/or a way to fix this ?
Some things I tried:
- Image Capture does not see the iPhone.
- I cannot say "sync with folder" as it would erase the 300 pics I still have not imported into Lightroom

I answered my own question: restoring the iPhone solves the problem.

When I connect iPhone 4S in iMac, photos and videos can be imported through iPhoto, as usual. But, if I change the user account, iPhone no longer appears in iPhoto! If I return to the first account, iPhone simply doesn't appears in iPhoto also. Any idea?

Some more information:
- I have iPhoto '11 and, in iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1;
- I started having this issue about 2 months ago, but I can't associate it with any changes or updates;
- with iTunes, the behaviour is absolutely normal...

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

IPhone no longer shows in iPhoto to import photos after 9.2 and iOS 5 updates

For some reason my iPhone 4S doesn't show in iPhoto to import photos. Oddly, iPhoto will launch when I plug into sync, but the phone does not show. Also, the phone doesn't show in the Image Capture application.

Same problem but I noticed that plugging my iphone or ipad in will launch iphoto and the device will show up on the left and new photos from the device will display. However, the devices don't show up on the left if iphoto is already running when when I plug them in. It's an easy workaround to turn iphoto off before plugging the device in but it's not the way it was before upgrading to IOS5 and 9.2.
