Iphoto doesn't detect iphone

Hi guys, this is my problem.
I have snow leopard, Iphoto 8.1 and i just did the upgrade to 3.1 os on my iphone 3g.
Since yesterday i realize that when i plug my iphone iphoto is not opening as before and is not detecting the iphone either..
if i open itunes the iphone shows fine and i can sync.. i need iphoto to see my iphone.
I want to save my new family pictures on iphoto before i do anything... i can't loose this pics.
what could be the problem here.???? help.

I have the fix.
I can report after much testing that the issue is absolutely related to photos that were saved from e-mail to the camera roll. Why, I have no idea, but that's it. Couldn't get my iPhone 3GS to launch iPhoto or be recognized in iPhoto or Image Capture until I deleted photos that I saved from email. Then it was fine. Strange bug that didn't start until 3.1, but that's clearly it.
So, here's all you do.
1. Go to the camera roll and delete any photo you didn't shoot with the camera. Anything you saved from e-mail, screenshots, etc. If you need them, email them to yourself or something.
2. Unplug the iPhone from USB after those photos are erased.
3. Replug in the iPhone. It should launch iPhoto normally and be seen in Image Capture.
Please let me know if that does the trick or if it doesn't, but I'm 99.9 percent sure it will.

Computer doesn't detect iPhone

I have a 1st gen iPhone and when I plug it into my computer, it doesn't detect it. I know the USB works because the phone is charging. What can I do to get my computer to recognize the device?
I am using a desktop Mac with OS 10.5.7 and iTunes is v 8.2.1.
If you need other info, let me know.

Try re-installing itunes on top of the current itunes (do not un-install itunes).

IPhoto doesn't recognize iPhone

Hi everybody,
I have a really annoying problem with my iPhone here.
When it is connected to my Mac, and I open iPhoto, it doesn't show up in the list of devices and that means I cannot sync my photos taken with the iPhone anymore.
I tried rebooting (Mac and iPhone) and resetting the iPhone, but nothing seemed to work.
Is there anyone out there with the same problem or a good solution ?
Thanks !
P.S.: I use 10.5.6 on my Mac and iPhoto 8.0.1

Mac iTunes doesn't detect iPhone 5

No response at all when connect to MacBook Air
MacBook Air 2012 Yosemite 10.10 All updates installed iPhone 5 with iOS8.1.2 installed

I'm in a very embarrassing situation because I tried to restore my iPhone with no backup. The restoration failed and I thought maybe that was because iTunes was not up to date. I updated iTunes and now iTunes doesn't respond to the connection. Also my iPhone doesn't boot anymore. It tells me to connect it to iTunes and I can't.

IPhoto doesn't recognise iPhone

This is contrary to what most are experiencing!
I have some photos on my 3G iPhone and cannot get them into iPhoto (08). I have tried turning off the auto-sync with iTunes. I've toggled the auto-import in iPhoto. It worked last week! All I can think of is that there was an iLife update and this has somehow done something to it
Any ideas?

same here for me.....last week it worked now with the update....it will not see any photos I have taken on my iphone...the iphone shows up in iphoto...but does not sync anymore....help!!!

IPhoto '11 not detecting iPhone 4 as device

I've tried "Connecting Camera opens..." switching between iPhoto and image capture, I've tried using iPhone explorer, I've tried restarting my phone, my computer, iPhoto and Image Capture all to NO avail. Is there any way to get iPhoto 9.4.2 to recognize my iPhone running iOS 6.0.1?

Reset the Phone.

Iphoto doesn't recognize iphone or Ipad won't sync how can I fixt it?

my iphone and ipad stopped sync ing with iphoto

What version of iPhoto?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

IPhone hangs while syncing, iPhoto can't detect iPhone

Hello,
I am a first time poster (be gentle
My iPhone has worked perfectly since August. Last week i plug in to sync. It appears in the sidebar of iTunes. I press sync. Starts with "backing up iPhone" dialogue then progress bar in iTunes stops. Same time iphone lets out a tone. Spinning wheel starts on screen of iPhone. Another tone. The freezes.
If I disconnect from USB cable, the screen goes blank, then Apple symbol comes up. After a few minutes I am back to normal operation.
Additional info:
This also occurs if I just plug into a USB cable connected to another Mac to charge battery (rather than sync).
Also, I have iPhoto set as default app for pics and movies on iPhone. iPhoto does not recognize the iPhone when I plug it in via USB.
I would be keen to:
a) know if anybody else is having this problem.
b) get any suggestions as to what might be going on inside my iPhone to make it behave like this.
c) get any suggestions as to what steps I should take to fix this.
Any help much appreciated in advance,

AMAZING !!!!!
Thank you Wjosten. Thank you, thank you.
I have been to a Genius Bar with this....their suggestion, full reformat, reset, start again.
Never had such a quick response that works, and something so simple. Truly amazing and you are a real life saver.
Can you give details on why exactly photos downloaded from Safari would create this effect?
Mine are all gone now and I will avoid that practice until I know more
Again, many thanks. Very much appreciated!

Leopard doesn't detect iPhone

Since I installed Leopard on my MacBookPro, my computer no longer detects my iPhone. When I plug it in, it still charges through the computer, but it pops up an icon that says "No camera was found."
I can't sync anything. Please help me!
Jenny

I'll give you the same reply I gave you in your posted topic yesterday with the very same problem.
Download the current iTunes installation and reinstall it over the existing - no need to delete iTunes first.

I'd like to transfer the photos from iPhone to MacBook Air. My iPhoto used to detect my iPhone automatically, but it doesn't happen anymore. How could I fox this? Thanks for helping!

Check the iPhoto preferences:
From the main menu bar: iPhoto > Preferences > General:
"Connecting camera opens" : Set this option to "iPhoto".
If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPhoto won't detect my iPhone 3GS

Hello guys, I am having trouble syncing my photos on my iPhone to my Mac through iPhoto. I already deleted all the pictures that were not taken with my phone, I have already opened up image capture which still doesn't detect my iPhone (but it does detect my Nikon camera), I have tried restarting my computer as well as my iPhone and I also tried restarting my iPhone while it was plugged in to my Mac. iTunes detects my phone and iPhoto even opens up once I plug my phone in but it still doesn't show up as a device. Does anyone have any possible solutions that doesn't involve restoring my phone? Please help!
Thank you for your time.

Have you already confirmed your Mac as a trusted device? Try this:
Lauch iTunes.
Connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Now try again to import.

I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer.

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

IPhoto won't import photos, doesn't detect camera

I've never had a problem uploading pictures from either one of my Canon digital cameras. However, when I now connect either camera to my computer via a USB cord, the drive doesn't appear anywhere and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera, nor does it prompt me to import the photos. When I tried the Image Capture software, it told me that nothing was connected. The CF card is fine (it reads on a digital picture frame), and the USB connection is fine (it detected a video camera). I couldn't drag images from the camera to anywhere else, since the computer doesn't realize the camera is connected. (And yes, the camera is on and all camera settings are as they usually are.)
Any thoughts?

YES! Found a working work-around to import 168 photo's taken in Ecuador with my HP Photosmart M637.
FYI, my observations and found workaround
- Connecting camera -> iPhoto 8.1.1 starts up but doesn't display the connected camera to enable import
- Overnight -> iPhoto still doesn't display the connected camera
- Use Picasa.app (as suggested in this discussion (txs for that) -> configured OSX to start up Picasa, which indeed happened when connecting the camera but camera is not displayed to enable import
- Used ImageCapture vs 6.0 (as suggested in this discussion) -> YES! It shows my camera and enables import into iPhoto vs 8.1.1 which I have done so my urgent problem has been solved ...
I wish you a similar feeling
