Iphone pics not transferring to iphoto on my mac

I have an Iphone 4 with iOS 6.1, I have a Mac OS X LION with 10.7.5.  Itunes 11.0.1. Iphoto 11'  9.4.2
Everything is up to date, iCloud is turned off.  I sync the phone, and when I open up Iphoto is says I have no pics to sync.  It will not let me see my photos at all.

You use PhotoStream
As posted above the instructions for setting up and using PhotoStream are in the links I provided - have you read them?
here are instructions for setting up iCloud on different systems -http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Here are FAQs and troubshooting links for iCloud -http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Once you have set PS up then you may want to click the bos in the iPhoto preferences to automatically imports photos form PS

    Sounds like you just updated your IOS.  Check the iTunes settings and confirm that nothing was changed:

  • How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were transferred from iPhoto to my phone?

    I recently transfered most of my photos from my iphone to iphoto on my macbook. A couple of days later I transfered some of them back onto my iphone, but now when i look at them on my iphone there is no way to delete them there. Ive tried everything but nothing works. I simply cannot delete photos on my iphone that were transfered there from iphoto.
    I thought apple was supposed to make things easier, but apparently not.

    Correct. You need to Un-sync them using your Computer.
    Basically do the opposite of what you did to get them on your Device.

  • 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.

  • IPhone now not appearing in iPhoto

    My iPhone has stopped appearing as a device in iPhoto when I connect it to my Mac.
    When I connect my phone it is supposed to launch iPhoto and then show any phone pics that can be transferred to iPhoto. Until this week this process has been happening without problem.
    I have updated to iOS Lion (OS X 10.7.2) for my Mac, and iOS 5.0 (9A334) for my iPhone 4, but this was done several weeks ago.
    My version of iPhoto is current.
    My phone does appear in iTunes when I connect to my Mac though.
    I have been through the Settings for iPhoto and my iPhone but cannot find a problem or cause for this to happen. Any ideas please???

    I'm glad it worked out for you. I went to the Apple store, they tried everything I already had, which didn't work for them either. Eventually, we signed out of my usual login on the computer, and went in as a guest. Checked that iPhoto recognized my iPhone as the guest user, which it did, signed out an back in as my regular sign in and voila, iPhoto then recognized my phone. Phew. I don't really want to delete the 1400 pictures I have on my camera. Hope this info might help someone.

  • 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.
    Regards

  • Import crashed - files not viewable in iPhoto but on Mac (not importable)

    Importing 220 photos from Kodak camera via printer/dock 6000. With 6 left to go it crashed. The photos ARE in a folder in iPhoto directory but do not appear in iPhoto. I tried importing from those folders but get message that they 'could not be imported (they may be an unrecognizable file type or may not contain valid data)". They are no longer on the camera so I can't re download them.

    That message is what you get if you try to import files that are already inside the iPhoto library; iPhoto won't do that. If the photos are there in iPhoto library/Originals, you can drag them to your desktop from the Finder. Be careful not to change anything else in Finder, since this is the most common cause of trouble with iPhoto. See if they open in Preview. If so, then within the iPhoto app you can Import them into iPhoto from the desktop.
    By the way, it's a good idea to not let iPhoto delete files from your camera, since this is an often reported problem. Better to let your camera reformat the card, both for safer uploading and for better camera card performance (so I've read).

  • Camera Roll pics not showing in iPhoto....

    Plus, I read somewhere here about deleting any pics in Camera Roll that I didn't take with the iPhone 3G, so I deleted the picture that normally shows on the iPhone when it wakes up and I still can't get my photos taken with the 3G to appear (as they always did until just now) in iPhoto 8x for importing. I don't think I did anything unusual to cause this problem, so don't know how to fix it. I will try repairing disk permissions just in case but can't imagine that will change things. Please...can someone help!?

    yes.....because someone had a similar problem (of iPhoto not importing from iPhone 3GS) that was solved by removing the wallpaper picture from the Camera Roll (hope I can get it back somehow!). It didn't import before I deleted the wallpaper pic and it doesn't import now. Strange....it always opened iPhoto and asked to import when I plugged in the iPhone before now.

  • Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

    My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

    Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

  • Shared Photo Stream pics not showing in iPhoto

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS6 and my wife has a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion and the latest version of iPhoto. 
    I created a shared photo stream on my iPhone and sent her the invitation to subscribe.  I also added about 6 photos to the photo stream.  On her mac, she accepts the invitation to the shared photo stream.  Now when she opens iPhoto she sees the photo stream itself but there are 0 pictures in it and even when I add more pictures she never sees them.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    On your device using iOS 6, try quitting and re-opening the Photos app:
    Quit Photos.
    From your Home screen, click your Home button twice. Your open applications should appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
    Scroll to find the Photos icon. Press the icon until the icons jiggle.
    Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Photos icon. The icon should disappear from the list.
    Tap the Home button again to return to normal operations.
    Also check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

  • IPhone does not open in iPhoto 08!

    Neither my previous iPhone 3GS og my iPhone 4 opens or mounts in iPhoto 08.
    Come on now please get it fixed!
    It only mounts after 5 minutes or so.

    Yes, I'm having the same issue in iPhoto '09. The iPhone 4 is very slow in showing up in iPhoto, regardless of whether the preference setting to open iPhoto upon connecting a camera is active or not. It can take minutes for the iPhone to show, but eventually it will show up in iPhoto. Connecting the phone to my Mac will cause iPhoto to open immediately, but the iPhone device will not show up in the iPhoto listing bar on the left for some time.
    Not sure if this is due to the number of images on the phone that I've already uploaded to iPhoto but not removed from the phone. Thus iPhoto has to take the time to discern which are "new" and which have already been shown (note the checkbox setting in bottom of iPhone images window that asks if you want to show photos already downloaded in iPhoto).

  • IPhoto pics not appearing in iphoto folder in finder

    Hi
    I'm unable to find my pics in the iphoto folder in Finder.  They are definitely in iPhoto but it as though the two are not in sync.  So when I want to upload a photo to my facebook profile, for instance, I can't find the photos in the iphoto folder that are on the iphoto software.  I think this is a recent development, possibly since I upgraded to Lion but I can't be sure.  I've definitely been able to access my pics via the Finder folder before.
    Help!
    Cheers!
    Steve

    What version of iPhoto did you have before upgrading to Lion?  Ever since iPhoto 8 the iPhoto library has been a closed Unix folder/package and we've not been able to open it in with the Finder.
    Yhe following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    iPhoto 11 has a Facebook option with which you can upload directly to FB.
