IPhoto doesn't recognise my iPhone or iPad
When I first got an iPhone I could sync it to iPhoto and take all the photos off. Now iPhoto doesn't recognise my iPad or iPhone. I've deleted caches. I have spent hours on this and its getting me no where.
Just to be clear, are you asking a question about iPhoto for the Mac or the iPhoto.app on your iPhone or iPad? This forum is specifically for the iPhoto.app for iOS that's running on your iPad or iPhone. You might want to post your question in the iLife/iPhoto fourm here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
Be sure and let everyone there know which version of iPhoto you're running.

How come iPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore?
When I first got an iPhone I could sync it to iPhoto and take all the photos off. Now iPhoto doesn't recognise my iPad or iPhone. Additionally I have overcapacity of 5 GB on my 64 GB iPhone, all because of my 30000 pictures. Macbook Pro
Thank you!Thanks a lot for your help, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, so the only option I have left, to my knowledge is to visit an Apple Store, physically, with my laptop and iPhone,

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.
So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

hy, does anyone know why my computer doesn't recognise my iphone? I can't seem to make it see the personal hot spot any suggestions? thanks
Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected. -
I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?
As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
Hope this helps. -

When click itunes a message says: AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe - Entry Point Not Found ... and it still doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.
Hello ckkeith65
If you are having issues with AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe then you would need to uninstall iTunes and its associated software in the order listed in the article below and then reinstall iTunes, as it is part of the installer file.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Windows doesn't recognise my iphone 4s, but it will see my wife's iphone 4s
Hi
I am having trouble with my iphone 4s. Basically I plug it into my PC and the computer makes the noise that it has been connected but it does not recognise the device.
It does not appear in any way in device manager, nor does it start the autostart thing, or anything.
However, if i plug my wifes iphone 4s into the PC (exactly the same phone, we got them at the same time), then the PC does recognise her phone and it appears in the My Computer list.
Because of that I think that it is a problem with the phone and not the computer. The computer happily recognises the second iphone, but not my one.
I cannot think of anything different on my phone than my wifes apart from a few silly game apps and the fact that I have wifi turned on in my phone and connected to my home wifi, while my wife doesnt have wifi on. However, when I turn wifi off (and restart the phone even) it still does not connect.
I don't have any photo's at all in my iphone, so it can't be the problem with 'foreign pictures' that people talk about. I do have some video's in there, but they are all in my itunes too (which also doesn't recognise my phone).
I am on
iphone iOS 5.1.1
Windows 7 (64 bit)
I am completely stumped. I am hoping that I won't have to completely wipe my iphone to factory settings (and have to write out all my numbers by hand in case the itunes backup doesnt work).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
PharYou don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck! -
I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly. I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad. I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc. I tried diagnostics to no avail. The diagnostic didn't recognize either device. As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple mobile device service, That didn't work either. My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem. She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
Until now, itunes has been totally reliable. I am convinced the problem is with itunes. Where do I go from here?I resolved the issue by doing the following:
1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
2. Uninstall bonjour.
3. Reboot.
4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
It worked. When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video. -
ITunes doesn't recognise my iPhone but my PC does
I've just updated iTunes but when I connect my iPhone 3GS, iTunes doesn't recognise it but my laptop does. Does anyone know why and what to do to correct it?
Typical, no one has answered your question.
It happened to me & now again. Last time I found my computer had a virus & after I connect up to ITunes it was working slower then the next time I connected ITunes wouldnt reconise my phone, then the nes time I did it the computer or ITunes shut down my phone & I couldnt turn it on.
My solution: Either roll back or reformat your computer. -
I hate the new iTunes, I can't find anything and can't delete music from my iPhone4S. I can't find my iPhone or iPad when I plug them into my computer and I now have a whole lot of stuff I don't want on my phone. I have relaxation music on my iPad (for work) and other music on my iPhone. The new iTunes has now put everything on my iPhone and I can't get it off. I've disabled Match from my iPad to prevent the wrong music from appearing. Help please someone, I'm going insane.
In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it look and behave more like previous versions. Then connect your phone, click on it's name on the left side, go to the Music tab and make sure you haven't selected Sync your entire library. You may want to check the songs in your library that you want on your phone, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and select Sync only checked songs and videos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. This should transfer only the checked songs and remove the rest.

My iTunes doesn't recognise my iPhone 4S
I hae tried everything and my iTunes still doesn't recognise it. I have uninstalled and re-installed my iTunes numerous times. Please does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could resolve this?! My computer recognises it but iTunes just freezes up and starts goign very slowly, then sometimes my phone is recognised but it tells me to go to the summary tab and restore factory setting, but as soon as I click "ok", my phone disappears from iTunes and it doesn't recognise it anymore, then other times it just doesn't show up at all. Any tips?!
Try plugging into another usb port
