IPhoto doesn't see new photos in iPhone

Trying to import new photos from my iPhone. iPhoto doesn't see them. I tried quitting both things, but still doesn't see them - now what?
Using iPhoto 9 - version 8.1.2
iPhone version 3.1.3

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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.

    Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.  I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing.  Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help.  Any ideas what I did to mess this up?

    I cannot deleted.  Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open.  Don't see how to shot it off.  Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after.  Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

  • 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

  • How to get iTunes to see new photos again

    Problem...
    iTunes and iLife media browser can't see any photos, albums & events I have added/edited in my iPhoto library since June 2012. Can't sync any new photos to iPhone/Pad/ATV as a result.
    mountain lion (10.8.1)
    iPhoto (9.3.2)
    aperture (3.3.2)
    I used to have separate iphoto and aperture librarys, but did a large import of Lightroom library (folders) to aperture library (vain attempt to simplify my life) and then started using that as my combined iPhoto/Aperture library. Didn't notice at the time be this is probably about the time new photos stopped syncing (also did mountain lion upgrade about this time).
    After various forum searches ive tried the following...
    Deleted iPod Photo Cache folder
    Using as iPhoto only library (Aperture library set to new blank library and stopped opeing in aperture).
    Rebuilt permissions from iPhoto.
    Rebuilt library from iPhoto.
    Any help please greatfully recieved, this is driving my nuts my Apple ecosystem is frozen in time?
    MCB

    Updated to Mac 10.8.2, iPhoto 9.4, Aperture 3.4
    Opened library in iPhoto - iPhoto tried to upgrade library and hung, assumed this after 2 hour wait and rainbow wheel (tried 2 times with force quit).
    Worried a lot.
    Opened library in Aperture - it opened fine and peformed the upgrade in about 20 seconds.
    Library also opens in iPhoto.
    I can now see my recent events and Photos if I set Sync photos from library to Aperture but not if set to iPhoto.
    Im thinking either its something to do with the size of library, iphot seems a lot worse than aperture in this regard or some config or metadata is just frozen in time for iPhoto. Seems like I have a partial solution and will experiment with creating new events etc. in both iPhoto and Aperture.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    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.

  • IPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import.  Any thoughts?

    iPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import.  Any thoughts?

    If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
    Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event".  That will take you to the event in event view.

  • ITunes doesn't see new added photos in iPhoto Album

    Hello:
    Am attempting to sync an iPhoto Album using iTunes on a iMac, 10.7.2 to an iP4 running iOS 5.1  Have successfully sync'ed this iPhoto Album to the iP4 for some time... Now, in iTunes, the number of photos in the Album does not agree with the count in iPhoto; iTunes does not see the photos I added in iPhoto today; so the sync doesn't put them on the phone. (Have used at least two methods to add these to the Album in iPhoto; it consistently shows them added and photo count incremented...)
    Any suggestions/help appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    OK...for anyone having this problem...  It seems that iMac/iPhoto may save image items with image extensions as "documents", not with a .jpg / image extension.  Even when I download them and use the "save as image..." menu choice.
    Sorry for pulling the trigger on this so quickly, but importing an image using "save as image" led me to believe that Mac OS and iPhoto would tag it as such...it may not...in spite of the fact that iPhoto displays it as an image and recognizes it.
    Regards.

  • IPhoto 11 won't import photo from iPhone 5 on new MBP

    Brand new MacBookPro out of box experience -- picked up the laptop yesterday.  Everything seems to work until I get to iPhoto (as usual).  Plugged in my iPhone 5 and tried to import photos.  Error -- Unreadable Files: 1   IMG_0434.JPG.   Ok...  Not sure what's wrong but when I go back to import photos there are now fewer to import.   Tried again.  Same error.  Even fewer photos to import again.  Tried to find the photo on the iPhone but despite the confusing array of presentation options there is no way to simply find one by file name.  And hence no way to delete the offending photo.  Or to import it. 
    Similarly there appear to be two movies to be imported but iPhoto reports "Error downloading image.  iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."  Not helpful.  And again no way to remove the offending files.  No way to find them on the iPhone.  No way to delete them through iPhoto.
    Oh, and is there still not any way to turn off the stupid events stuff?  This just causes more confusion for me when trying to enjoy my photos.  Alternatively can I import photos from my iPhone using another app and move them directly to the file system and eliminate iPhoto from my workflow altogether???

    Can you access these images and movies with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?

  • IPhoto '11 9.4.2 does not recognize new photos on iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1

    Today when i connected my iPhone 4 the iPhoto app does not recognize new photos from my photo library on my iPhone. Help! Thanx!

    Today, I did try something, i changed to a different USB port and connecting cable from my iPhone to my iMac and with iPhoto already open the photos were visible and i was able to download my newest iPhone photos to my iMac. I did this due to the fact that i had this same connectivity problem with the external back up device i use and when i switched that device to a Firewire cable (from a USB) i can now do external backups. Not sure if the issue is with the cable or the USB port, but this worked for me!

  • Photo browser doesn't show new photos loaded in iPhoto today

    I tried to find some photos in photo browser to attach to an email. The photos were in an iPhoto event I added today, but they didn't appear in that event via the photo browser in iMail.
    For background, I used a new SDHD card in my Nikon D80 and found my card reader didn't support the HD function of the card (I have loaded photos from this camera using the same card reader with an SD - not HD though- card for a year with no problem). Instead of using the card reader, I loaded the photos using a USB cable from my camera to my iMac, just as I had always done previously with the card reader. That is the only difference in loading today's photos from any other photos loaded previously
    So, I don't know why the photo browser didn't see the new photos and don't understand how loading them directly from the camera versus from a card reader should make a difference. Any ideas about the failure to find the photos via the photo browser even though they are there in the event in iPhoto. Please help!

    Unfortunately, it did not. I had tried that several times, and today when I rebooted I thought it might be resolved. I also checked the number of pics in iPhoto and Photo Browser, and the numbers do not match (more pics in iPhoto than Photo Browser by the number I added to iPhoto yesterday).
    I also checked for any software updates, but didn't find any. I am current with all the Apple software updates that I get prompted to download.
    Any more suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Are these photos that are in your camera roll? If so, you don't use iTunes to import them. Read here:

  • IPhoto doesn't see my iPhone.

    I recently visited the Genius Bar. We moved all of my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external hard drive and now iPhoto doesn't recognize my phone when I try to sync it. How do I find my phone in iPhoto so that I can move pictures and videos off of it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Have you tired restarting the Phone? Resetting it?
