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.

IPhone photos not seen by iPhoto

I have photos in my iPhone that I can view, but they do not appear in iPhoto when the phone is connected. iPhoto sees the iPhone, but the photos don't load. When I try to import all in iPhoto, I get an "Unreadable Files" message. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Shouldn't I be able to import from the iPhone into iPhoto?
Yes. You don't need to sync your iPhone with iTunes in order to do so and these are photos that were captured by the iPhone?
Which ILife version and iPhoto version do you have?
Have you tried using the Image Capture application which is located in your Applications folder? If this works to at least get these photos transferred from your iPhone to your Mac, then you should be able to import the photos into iPhoto which doesn't resolve the problem but you may need to do an iPhone Restore. Photos captured by the iPhone are now included with the iPhone's backup file that is created and updated by iTunes if needed just before the sync process but you don't want to depend on the iPhone's backup file for photos captured by the iPhone.

I am trying to sync iphone 5 to itunes but it says "iTunes could not connect to the iphone as an error occured while reading from the device " and the iphone is not seen on itunes........

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem.

IPhone 4S not seen by Win 7 PC

HI we have an iPhone 4s and we are trying to move the pictures to our PC running Win 7. All of our other iPod and IPod Touch devices come up fine and are seen by the PC as a portable device and also appear in iTunes. The iPhone 4S does not, it will charge but no USB storage connection and it does not appear in iTunes. I have looked in Device Manager and there are no references to any Apple Device under any item (USB controllers, Portable Devices etc). Apple Mobile Device Services are set to automatic, and are started. Everything looks like it should ecxept this iPhone is not seen as a USB device when connected. At a loss here and looking for suggestions. I have searched numerous forums but none work or even seem to go to the issue here which is that this iPhone does not connect via USB to a PC (I tried 2 different PCs with the same result) other than to charge. I have also changed the USB cables to no effect.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers

Hello
It sounds like you have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your end. Some of this you have done but checkout the articles below to see if there is anything you missed so you can get your pictures off your iPhone.

Can I transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?

I have taken my photos on my iPhone and broken them down into separate album folders. When I sync my iPhone to my laptop, it will transfer the pictures over, but not in the separate album folders I've created on my iPhone.
Can I somehow transfer my individual iPhone photo albums to my MacBook Pro and iPad?
Why won't the "Album Folders" transfer over? I know I can create separate folders directly on my laptop, but that doesn't help with transferring the folders from my iPhone over to my laptop or iPad.

The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

I am trying to get the music content on my Mac onto my iPhone. When I connect the devices, the computer does not seem to recognize the iPhone, i.e., on the open itunes window, the iPhone is not seen as a connected "device".

There is no way to trace the source of a saved photo.
You might have some luck if you search through the Safari web site history available via the Bookmark icon.

replacement iphone does not show up on itunes and I cannot sync

You can't have an iMac PPC (PowerPC) if you loaded Snow Leopard. iMac Intel are the only Macs that are compatible with 10.6. So the first thing wrong you are doing is posting in the wrong forum, or giving us misinformation.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out exactly what you are running. A G5 is a PowerPC. Intel is Intel.
Also look at the operating system in that window and update your profile.
What version of iTunes do you have?
Has the iPad ever shown before on this machine? Once we have your correct info, I'll ask a moderator move this thread.

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

I'm trying to back up my iphone from when I last backed up and it won't sync any of my songs. How do I sync it? Also, if I set up my phone as a new phone, will I lose all of my messages?

My 4S stopped automatically backing up at night when I updated to the new OS. I cannot manually force it to either. Possibly an issue with the new OS??
