IPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s?

I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac to import my photos, and iPhoto shows "Apple iPhone" as a device connected. My phone is named "gPhone" and is not listed. None of my pics are available to import.

Just wanted to add, I had the same problem. For me, a hard reset of my iPhone 4S solved the problem.
I didn't have to check the box you mentioned, and I'm curious why that would make a difference (though clearly that helped chaargers)? That box just seems to be for putting photos on your iPhone that are in your iPhoto library.

  • 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,

  • IPhoto doesn't recognize my iPhone

    When I plug my phone into my mac and open up iPhoto, it says it recognizes my brother's iPhone. It also says there are no pictures to import. I have an iPhone full of photos I'd like to import to my mac. I have used iPhoto on this mac before, but this is the first time this has happened to me. Any ideas?

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501 from
    HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.
    If that doesn't help: try use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)

  • Itunes and iphoto doesn't recognize my iphone.

    Normally when I plug my Iphone 4 into my MacBook, the itunes icon and iphoto icon always pop up, these last 2 days they haven't and when I manually open them my device isn't located. When pluging my iphone into the computer it also isn't charging. I have tried different charging cords that work when plugged into an outlet device so I know they are working. Not sure what to do?

    There are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

  • My macbook doesn't recognize my iphone 5 and wont let me sync my music or apps in itunes

    My itunes 10.6.3 (25) in my macbook OS X doesn't recognize my iphone 5. So I can't sync my apps or music to my phone (although I was able to sync my photos and videos through iphoto) I rebooted both my phone and mac and switched connecting ports. Nothing.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried in different locations, does this happen everywhere. Have you tried a hard restart.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.
    Whenever I plug my iPhone into my computer it starts to charge like normal but iTunes does not recognize it. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple (Downloading the latest iTunes version, reinstalling iTunes, updating the software on my phone, restarting my computer, etc). I've also looked at various tutorials on different websites that showed other methods. Among these methods were going into the control panel Device Manager or the Services program and taking certain steps within said programs. It seems I have tried everything under the sun to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and so far nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do which is why I've resorted to this. Anybody know what might be going on? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my computer with the latest iTunes installed as previously stated. I've also just installed iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and this has not changed anything. If anyone has any idea what is going on and would like to tell me how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you've gone through this article and made sure the Apple Mobile device service is installed and running, you should look at the security software on your computer.
    To make sure it isn't the security software, you can either follow the steps in the article below, or you could just uninstall it and test again. Then reinstall it again when you're done.

    I upgraded my daughter's iMac to iTunes 11.1 and now it doesn't recognize her iPhone 4s.  The phone will charge and DropBox see's it but iTunes doesn't.  Any suggestions?  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the software so that doesn't work.  Thanks for any help!

    Hello jlgougeon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I just installed update version 11.1.4.62.  Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.  My wife just installed the same version with the same result.  The problem is clearly a problem with itunes.  What's wrong with itunes?

    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.

  • I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

    I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G

    Like the title says, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 3G. What can I do? I have already done the troubleshooting, like dowloaded the newest version of iTunes and Mac OS, started again the computer and so on, but it doesn't help me at all. Is iPhone 3G too old for recognizening, beacuse it can't be updated to iOS 6? Please help me! Thank you.

  • ITunes 10.2.1.1  doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

    iTunes 10.2.1.1  doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

    I recently installed IOS 4.3.2. and ITunes 10.2.2 on my 64 Bit Vista PC. Since upgrading the IOS on any of my devices, none of them are recognized in iTunes. The computer recognizes them in My Computer but not in iTunes. Apple support pointed me to http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US which directs you to uninstall/reinstall iTunes and all related programs. That has not solved the problem. The only guidance I have been given is from a tech at the Apple store who mentioned that there might be issues with the drivers in Vista. I have not been able to find any help with solving that issue. Does anybody have any thoughts.

    iTunes 10.5.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) Laptop OS Windows XP. When I connect iPhone to laptop, iTunes sends me an alert:" This iPhone can't be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". This started right after I have upgraded iTunes from 10.5 to 10.5.1. Please help !

    Thanks for the hint ! I used the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
    3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
    Had to remove all Apple related softwares and utilities, and re-install all back. iTunes recognizes my phone now ! Cheers !
