IPhone no longer shows up in iPhoto after iTunes update

I took some photos with my iPhone 3G today. iPhoto launched when I attached the iPhone (USB) but it no longer appears in the sidebar and so I cannot download the photos. It worked perfectly 3 days ago. The only system change is that I updated iTunes and iMovie yesterday. There is a possibility that iTunes has disrupted things. The iPhone appears in the iTunes sidebar

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete 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.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • HT204406 Since going over to icloud, my iphone no longer shows as a device in itunes and I can no longer sync the phone with the macbook

    Since changing to icloud, my iphone is no longer recognised in itunes and does not show as a device nor can I sync it to my Macbook.
    Any suggestions please

    Nothing has changed that would affect the way the iPad is recognized in iTunes. Here is the link to Apple's support article on this issue.

    You probably have done all of these steps except for....
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier only: Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    Here is another troubleshooting article that might help.

  • My iphone no longer shows up in "devices" on itunes...

    ...when I plug it in, so I cannot sync it.  What to do?

    You enter the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then either turn on iTunes Match, download a previously purchased item from the iTunes or App store apps, or turn on Automatic Downloads.  However, once a device is associated with an ID in this way it cannot be associated with a different ID until 90 days has passed.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

  • TS1363 iPod doesn't show up on computer after iTunes update.

    Less then a month and it was working just fine.  Did the new download for iTunes and now the iPod won't work.  The computer will not see it and the  message telling me that a iPod is there but ... I can't remember...  I have waisted the whole day using every option on every page ever listed on this thing.  If I can't get a fix other then what I have already tried, I will take it back to the store, get my money back and buy a different product.  I was warned not to buy Apple, I thought that I was safe as this was made more then a year ago and is still listed on most lists as one of the best.   WRONG!

    there are a million posts about this SAME issue. A LOT of people's crashed right around thanksgiving, or whenever itunes 6 came, some people on the discussions page have found fixes but they don't work for everybody... if you are using a PC and not an iMac then ur going to have to go through a lot of steps. Whereas if you buy an iMac (which ipods just so happen to be compatible with) then ur not going to have too many problems. COINCIDENCE???

  • Recently viewed iPhone photos no longer showing up in iPhoto. How can I retrieve them? Their disappearance might be due to a software update I was promoted to do.

    Recent photos from my iPhone no longer appear in my iPhoto library, or at least I can't find them. I just looked at them in iPhoto yesterday or the day before. Baffling. Photos from my other device (camera) do show up okay, although the "Last 12 months" folder does not show anything more recent that August. The only thing I can think of that has changed is that I accepted a prompt for a software upgrade for my macbook earlier today. It might have had something in it that affected iPhoto (?). I have an EHD backup via time machine. Not sure how to get individual photos off of that, however.
    Any ideas re. causes or solutions? Some precious photos in that missing batch.
    thanks!

    View > Sort Photos.... and all the options under this are grayed out.
    Is this the menu path you wanted me to follow?

  • IPhone 4 not showing up in iPhoto

    Hello All - I recently got a new iMac and a new iPhone 4 so it's been difficult for me to troubleshoot this problem. I got my iphone 4 to show up in iPhoto yesterday but I don't know how, it just popped up after awhile. [I opened iPhoto with phone plugged in, opened iphoto with phone unplugged, unplugged phone with iphoto in, etc. - I tried all options].
    Anyone else having this problem?? All my specs are included in my profile. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    I had a similar problem on my 2009 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2, iPhone 4S and iPhone '11 (both of which had the most recent updates as at the time of this post): my iPhone was appearing and working correctly in iTunes, but was not appearing in iPhoto or Image Capture. I had >1000 photos on the camera roll, including some saved from Safari and emails etc.
    The following fix worked for me: unplugged external monitor. Voila. That's it. So, in troubleshooting this problem, I recommend that others try unplugging _all_ other peripherals before connecting their iPhone.

  • IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

    Hi there,
    For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
    Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)
    Regards, Malcolm

    now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
    If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

  • IPhone no longer shows up as a hard disk for photo transfer

    When I used to plug in my iPhone it would show up in the My Computer page as an external disk. If I clicked through the folders I could easily move pics from my phone to the computer. I had already shut off the auto open feature of the program select.
    Not sure why my iPhone no longer shows up. It shows up fine with iTunes

    Greetings,
    The iPhone won't work as an external disk, never has, by default. It will show up in iTunes, it is supposed to there, but not on your desktop.
    Are you thinking of an iPod Touch, maybe? Maybe you have a phone that was tampered with, maybe?
    There are third party apps that might do what you are talking about.
    Cheers,

  • Trying got update iPhoto after OS update - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.???

    Trying got update iPhoto after OS update - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    With Yosemite you need to update to iPhoto 9.6.
    The error message means, that iPhoto has not been associated with your AppleID. You do not say, which iPhoto version you are trying to update from.
    Associating iPhoto with your AppleID should have happened, when you bought the computer with iPhoto preinstalled with MacOS X Lion or later or with the Mavericks upgrade, if your Mac came with SnowLeopard. Try, if you can "accept" iPhoto now:
    Sign into the AppStore with your AppleID
    Open the "Purchased" tab. Do you see iPhoto with an "Accept" button?
    Accepting associates your Apple ID with the preinstalled iPhoto. It should move iPhoto from the "Accept" portion of the App Store to the "Purchased" tab. After that, you should be able to update iPhoto from the Updates tab of the AppStore. If you do you not see the update there, try to buy iPhoto. iPhoto may show for free, so you do not have to pay again.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, otherwise you cannot buy it again. But do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    After you update iPhoto, your iPhoto Library will need upgrading. Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you open iPhoto the first time after updating.

    Not unless you saved a copy of the old iPhoto Library. Otherwise, you can't go back.

  • IPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

    iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

    Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
    To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
    1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
    2. go to  (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
    3. disable Voice Dial
    4. go back and disable Siri
    hope this could help you!!

  • Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.
