IPhoto does not recognize iPhone4/Does not download Camera Roll

I have tried to download my photos and videos from Camera Roll on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) into my iPhoto '09. It used to do it automatically a year ago, but now iPhoto does not respond when I plug in my phone through the USB connector cable.
1. I have tried this: http://leimobile.com/faq-how-to-fix-ios-5-photo-sync-issues/ by deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but iPhoto still does not respond when I plug my iPhone into my Mac.
2. I have tried Image Capture, but it did not recognize my iPhone 4 either. It does "download" the JPG files but the program stalls as it waits to detect a camera device.
3. I have turned off Photo Stream in my iPhone Settings menu.
Please help, because I need to have many photos from Camera Roll onto my computer for work... I am sending the important ones one by one through email!

Restarted my computer... iPhoto now recognizes my iPhone.

Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone.

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If i download a picture on on an app, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

Updated iTune to 10.3.1, not recognize iPhone4 anymore

updated iTune to 10.3.1, not recognize iPhone4 anymore. During update iTune, it popup TWICE the window of "software not certified by WindowsXP", ask for confirmation. I clicked "continue anyway". After iTune finishes update, the pc doesn't recognize iPhone4 anymore. I restarted PC, doesn't help. Anyone has the same issue here?

I have the same issue. My iPhone now shows up as Apple iPhone instead of the name I created initially.
This also means I can't sync my phone anymore.

When photo stream is supposed to be fixed?my photos is not going to photo stream from camera roll, so when this problem will be fixed by apple?

There is nothing wrong with Photostream. The "problem" is likely in the way you are using it.
In order for photos to be moved into Photostream, two things must happen. (1) you have to be connected to Wifi, and (2) you have to exit the Camera app. Unless both of those things happen, the photos will not be transferred to Photostream.
So, shut down your camera app, and connect to Wifi. Wait a while, and the photos you took with your iPhone should be transferred.

My Mac does not recognize that I have downloaded the newest version

I continue to get the error message that I cannot open a pages file until I download the newest version. I have downloaded the version. The apple store recognizes that I have downloaded the version and yet, pages will not open the files.
What next?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Old pc does not recognize 10.5 itunes download

sony vaio won't recognize the 10.5 download. win32.exe message comes up...any ideas?
many thanks

Easiest way is just download again, paying attention to which Windows version is checked. If the problem still occurs, may be from the version of Windows. What Windows are you using, by the way?

Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

Two problems:
1. Extemely slow charging:
- I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
- When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
- I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
- I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
- I have Vista 32bit
- I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
- I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
1. I get a message saying:
"Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
2. I get a message saying:
"Installing device driver software"
3. I get a message saying:
"Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
- I click on "check for a solution"
4. Then it tells me:
"Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:

My new Mac Pro will not recognize my old Canon video camera

My new Mac Pro will not recognize my old Canon video camera

We've used the 400 to 800 firewire cables with limited success in the past...dropped frames was the main problem. Only used them until the Sonnet FireWire PCIe Card came in to allow a 400 firewire.

ICloud not restoring my photos in the camera roll. HELP ! :(

Apparently I had to reset my iphone but before doing this I checked if my back up was updated with icloud and IT WAS!
After sucessfully completing the reset process I found out that all my stuff is back (contacts, notes, reminders etc.) EXCEPT the photos in my camera roll.
The pictures and videos were important, their backup was only on icloud :/
Then I reset my phone a few times again, choosing different backups each time but nothing helped!
I also checked my storage and backup options in settings to make sure there was a backup of my photos and it said "178 MB" next to the camera roll which means I should be able to get my photos back but instead the camera roll is empty :(
Now, I've tried everything and have failed.
Please Help ! It would be really appreciated.

Not sure if you still haven't fixed the problem by now. But the way I got round it was:
Going to the page where you can 'Erase all data and settings' etc (Settings>General>Reset)
And instead of pressing the button to erase literally everything, instead i pressed 'Reset AllSettings' instead, which takes you to the exact same Welcome setup thing (but the process is quicker coz it doesnt delete everything).
Then go through the steps as normal and try again, this time with a different restore point if you can.
Hopefully should do the trick.
I'm not sure if it worked becuase I used a different restore point, or becuase I Reset the settings and not everything. But it did the trick, and there all downloading now.
Good luck

HT201302 My phone uploaded ALL my pictures from my PC how do I delete pictures not in the photo stream or camera roll?

My ios4 uploaded ALL my pictures from my PC, and they aren't in the photo stream or camera roll and I cannot delete them from phone. Anyone have an idea how I can do that? Driving me nuts! Thank you!

If the pictures are synced to the device from iTunes, the only way to remove them is via iTunes.
Either delete the pictures from the folder selected to sync or stop syncing that folder.
Why are you incapable of doing this or what about it did not work?
If help is desired stop being vague in the responses.

Does the iPhone save photos in the camera roll uniquely in a serial order?

Hi there.
Just to be in the safe side, and for backup purposes I want to make sure whether the iPhone ALWAYS saves photos in the camera roll uniquely in a serial order or not.
In other words, If I copied the photos on my iPhone to my PC and then deleted them from my camera roll and later I had taken new ones, then:
Is it going to keep on naming my the new photos sequentially or is it going use the vacant numbers of the old ones. So that when backing up my photos again the new ones will replace the old ones?
Please, answer me.
Thanks.

They get a new unique number like img_XXXX.jpg

Not clear about My Photo Stream, Camera Roll, transfer into iMac.

When I transfer into iMac using wi-fi /iCloud, some of the photos are missing in Camera Roll (iPad) and iPhoto (iMac), usually the photos I want to keep, use and post.
They are there in Photo stream still. To get them I email them on or send to Facebook. Why?
