Iphoto 9.4.2 doesn't see photos on camera

There are six photos on my card, but iPhoto tells me there are none. It previously said there were 27 others that I had deleted. I have tried accessing the photos with my cable and with a card reader.

Can you see the image files on the card in the Finder when using a card reader? If so upload to a folder on the Desktop and then reformat the card in the camera. Then try again.

Iphoto on macbook pro doesn't see photos on iphone--how to move them off??

Hi,
I have an iphone 5S (updated to latest version of iOS) and a new macbook pro (retina), also updated. I have plugged my phone into iphoto (version 9.6) and it says all pictures are downloaded but there are over 1000 photos on my phone and 140 videos, too. How am i to bring these into iphoto if iphoto doesn't even see them???
Thanks,
A.

It should look like this:
But if you are seeing cloud icon beside the device name, you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone using your Mac. The delete button will be missing.
As to the number of photos and videos you are seeing on your iPhone.
In which albums do the photos and videos appear in the Photos.app on your iPhone?

Appletv doesn't see Photos app library, why?

After updating to the new Photos app from iPhoto my apple tv doesn't see my computer's photo library. iTunes doesn't see it either to choose which folders to share for home sharing.
Is this a drawback to the new Photos app?
Thanks

iTunes is up to date, I don't even see the Photos library in the pull down on the home sharing prompt. Is it because my photos library is on an external drive? iPhoto had no problem seeing this. Do I have to go back to iPhoto or will Apple week this?

IPhoto doesn't see photos from my iPhone

This problem just started happening a few weeks ago --
First, the hardware --
An older MacMini that is NOT upgraded to Lion because it is single core (and hence is not connected to iCloud)
iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1
iPhone 4S with OS5.01
Now, the problem --
iPhoto is not recognizing any new photos I take. The photos are on the phone in the camera roll and are uploading to photostream but that does me no good since I don't have iCloud on my computer (because I don't have Lion). And iPhoto is recognizing that my iPhone is connected via USB -- it just says there are no photos (new or old) on it. Image capture is the same -- sees the device but doesn't see the photos.
When did this start? I'm not sure -- either (a) when I upgraded from my 3GS, which was running OS5, to the 4S OR (b) when I upgraded the 4S to 5.01.
In any event, I really want to get my photos from my phone to iPhoto -- after all, one of the selling points of the 4S was how great the camera is. Well, if I can't download the photos to my computer, what good is it?
Help anyone?

Computer sees the iphone, it just doesn't see the photos. This happened once before and I spent more than an hour with tech support fixing it - a real pain..... I'm hoping there is a quicker fix.

IMovie doesn't see photos in my iPhoto events

I opened iMovie to work on a new project.
1. Can't see how to create a new iMovie event.
2. iMovie sees my iPhoto events but shows only a few photos in an event that has 200. What's up with that?

Don't know about #2, but to create a new event in an opened Library go to file menu and select new event. Also option N works.

Help, iphoto 4.0.3 doesn't see my pictures

I want to give someone my old G4 and I deleted something inadvertently trying to free up hard drive space. Now my iPhoto 4.0.3 doesn't work. Tekserve in NYC sold me iLife 09 to replace it, but that doesn't run on OSX 10.4.11. I tried to download iphoto 4.0.3, but am told that no versions of the program exist on my computer. When I click on iphoto and try to import pictures from my user/pictures folders, I can see the photos, but iPhoto doesn't recognize them. Any suggestions how to fix this? Or how to proceed? I'll buy another version if I can find one that will work on 10.4.11—if that's what it takes. Thanks.

welcome to the Apple user to user discussion forums
Now my iPhoto 4.0.3 doesn't work.
What does not work?
When I click on iphoto and try to import pictures from my user/pictures folders, I can see the photos, but iPhoto doesn't recognize them
you cna not import photos form the iphoto library into the iPhoto library
It sounds like your iPhoto program runs fine - is that tcorrect?
But you do not show any photos in your iPhoto library using iPhoto (do not use the finder to go into our iPhoto library) - is that what you are seeing (or not seeing as the case may be)?

Lightroom doesn't see photos on Canon EOS

I'm trying to import photos from a Canon EOS 30D into Lightroom 1.4.1 running on Vista.
When I click on Import I get the option of choosing the source -- either the Canon or a "choose files.." option. But when I click on the Canon I get a Warning message saying "No photos were found to import". If I select "choose files..." I can navigate to the Canon, but Lightroom doesn't see the files on the camera.
If I navigate to the camera using a My Computer window then I can find the files and drag them onto the PC and then import into Lightroom using the import from disk option. But it would be great if someone knew how to import them direct from the camera. Any ideas? Thanks!

2nd solution : as the EOS generally don't have mass storage mode, buy a card reader for a few bucks, and read your CF card in it.
It will be wayyyyyy faster and more convenient (battery drain, among other problems) than the camera/PC cable.

IChat doesn't see my isight camera

My isight camera shows up as a connected firewire device on the system profiler, but ichat doesn't see a camera connected. Neither does the isight updater, when i try to run it. this is an old camera i used to used with an imac; been sitting in a drawer for years.

Welcome to Discussions, Wide Bob
Previous Discussions posts on the topic show that it is not unusual for people who store external iSights for long periods, particularly inside the plastic shipping case or in places like briefcases or desk drawers that move, to find that their iSight has stopped working and requires professional repair. (There are no user-serviceable parts inside iSight.) Based on these reports, I never put my iSight back in its case for transport or long storage without a fresh desiccant pack and some way to cushion the camera.
At this point, test your external iSight using the suggestions from this link:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
If you still want to use a webcam but nothing there helps you get your iSight working (with any Apple apps in any user account you test), I can offer two alternatives:
(1) A new Mac compatible webcam: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
(more details in User Tip: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211 )
- or -
(2) Check whether your external iSight can be repaired.
If you want to pursue service but do not have access to a local Apple Authorized Service Provider, see Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions:

IPhoto doesn't see photos in the library

Hope someone can help. The external hard drive holding my iPhoto library accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto. Now, iPhoto does not see any photos in it, even though that library shows up as a choice when I reconnect it. Finder shows there are hundreds of gigabytes of data in the file, so I know the photos are there (I hope). But every time I try to switch to that library, it doesn't show up in the left column like it used to, and iPhoto gives me the message -- to get started, connect a camera or import photos. How do I get iPhoto to see the pictures/files again?? I'm on iPhoto 9.6 with OS X Yosemite on a macbook pro. Thank you!!

Backup your iPhoto library and depress and hold the option and command keys and double click on the library on the EHD - keep the keys down until the first sid window comes up - rebuild your database

ITunes doesn't see photos from iPhoto

It used to work OK, but now when I connect the iPhone (3G), iTunes launches (iPhoto too), starts syncing (uploads all the music again!), but the photo section says that the albums I have selected do not contain any photos.
I deleted albums, created new albums (in iPhoto) rebuilt the library in iPhoto, but still no update in iTunes.
Both iTunes and iPhoto files/data are held on an external file server, but I can see all files in each application.
This seemed to start happening after a full reset of the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Adam

This could be a problem with the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto Library Folder. Quit iPhoto and remove the file from the iPhoto Library Folder, then launch iPhoto. It will recreate the file.
If that doesn't work:
Remove any non-ascii characters in Keywords, Album or Photo titles - basically anything that's not a- z and 0 - 9. This includes &.
If that doesn't work then read this thread

Iphoto 2.0.1 can't see photos in viewer window.

I have 6500 photos in a very sluggish iphoto.
I have tried creating new libraries to split up original library into separate years to speed things up, using Finder window as suggested in iPhoto Help, and using iPhoto Buddy. I have moved files across from one library to another in the Finder window but when opening up new library it says it contains no photos. Photos do exist in files in Finder and appear in Preview when double clicked in Finder window. Why can't iPhoto see them?
I then tried to import the photos back into original library and they can't be seen there either.
Help! This is driving me slightly crazy!

I have tried creating new libraries to split up original library into separate years to speed things up, using Finder window as suggested in iPhoto Help
I'm pretty confident that iPhoto Help did not suggest using a Finder window to split up your iPhoto library. Your iPhoto Library folder is the iPhoto database, and any changes made using the Finder would certainly corrupt the database (the results of which you are now experiencing).
You can create multiple iPhoto libraries (that IS described in iPhoto Help), but only one library can be in use at any one time. As Peter has mentioned, moving photos from one library to another requires an iPhoto export from one library, then an iPhoto import to the other (with a library switch in between, requiring an iPhoto restart). If you did anything else, then your iPhoto database is corrupt.
If you've actually pulled your library apart the way you've described, you might as well pull all the year folders out onto the desktop, trash the remaining iPhoto Library folder, and start iPhoto, letting it create a new library. ONce the iPhoto window is open (and empty), drag your year folders to the Albums panel of iPhoto to import them -- you'll lose whatever monthly organization you might have had.
Post back before you do anything if it looks like I've misunderstood what you've tried to do.

IPhoto doesn't see my photos

I was in middle of editing newly loaded photos, when the computer locked up. I had to shut it off to regain control. Since then iPhoto opens but doesn't see any photos in my libraries. Photos are still there, I can see them in finder and preview, but iPhoto shows zero photos. I have tried renaming library , creating new library, and opening different libraries, but iPhoto doesn't see photos in any of them. Any thoughts on how I can get back to my photos? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and iPhoto 2.0.1.

Have a look at this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042
It has details on how to rebuild iPhoto Libraries prior to v6 - including v4 and v2.
Of course, the best solution to your issues is to simply restore from your back up.

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

Look for a page that has a similar layout:
The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

Certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all.

certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all. Photos are from the same camera and should all be in the same format.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
