IPhoto not accepting photos from iPhone IOS7

I have not been able to copy photos from my iPhone 4S to my macbook 1,1 (OSX 10.6.8) since I installed IOS7.0 on the phone. "file is in an unrecognizable format" and it's JPG.

Export: File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Copy: Use iPhoto Library Manager
But best to rebuild the library:
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.

Delete photos in iphoto not deleting photos from iphone

I import photos into IPhoto. Then when Iphoto asked to delete imported photos I click yes however they don't actually delete?
The next time I try to import photos they are all there.
I went into Itunes to check if my photos were synced and they are not. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you remove applications from iTunes, they aren't deleted in any device apart from the PC or Mac. That's caused because iCloud doesn't sync removed apps, but it syncs installed apps if you have activated Automatic Downloads. That's the reason why your apps may appear in all your computers and devices when you download one. You can remove the applications

IPhoto 8.1.2 will not accept photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

To begin with I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro and messed up somewhere in the installation process.
I have an iMac
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
With OS X 10.6.8
iPhoto 8.1.2
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
and a 13" MacBook Pro
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Modle Identifier: MacBookPro 9.2
With OS X 10.9.3
AND 2 copies of iPhoto (8.1.2 & 9.5.1) as listed in System Information, which apparently copied over when I copied to MacBook Pro from Time Capsule.
     1. I copied photos from MacBook to the iMac (using a 8 GB Thumb drive) but I was not successful.
          I believe I deleted the photo library on the iMac and tried to copy it back from the MacBook.
     2. When I try to Open iPhoto I get an alert: You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
     You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Question 1. How can I return to the original iPhoto program on my iMac?( I have the original iLife DVD).
Question 2. How can I restore and/or salvage the photos presently on my MacBook Pro and install them on my iMac?

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Iphoto is not importing photos from iPhone 4 automatically

My iPhone use to auto upload all my pictures to iPhoto. Since both the updates I havent uploaded any new ones, and tonight i tried to. No such luck. Even tried to use preview which didnt work. Also the trick where you delete the com.apple name thing isnt their, only one that reads iwork.pages.plist. HELP!

No version of iPhoto ever imported anything from anywhere automatically. I'm not sure how Preview fits into this. Can you try explain again?

Iphoto 6 not accepting photos from another iphoto 6 user

encountered an odd issue here.......got a CD with jpg photos from my sister who has the same iphoto 6 program.
1) iPhoto 6 starts up fine, no issues
2) when I insert the disk from my sister I get an error message "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
3) After the error message, my iPhoto program shuts down
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you sure there are no updates for iPhoto 6 waiting for you to install?
Run software update and be sure.

Iphoto stopped importing photos from iphone 6.

All of a sudden, iPhoto 9.2.3 stopped importing photos from my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2). It says "All photos have already been imported" which they have not. I still have photos in Camera Roll which iPhoto did not import. At the same time, I started receiving this message which I plug my iPhone into the computer, "This accessory may not be supported." Can anyone recommend how to return the iPhone and iPhoto to normal? Sending photos via email to the computer wastes time.

IPhoto wont import photos from iphone

I'm trying to import photos from my 32GB iPhone 3 into iphoto on my macbook pro. This is the first time I've had this difficulty. The curious thing is it did import 4 photo & 2 movie img files. After about an hour waiting while it processes 188 images it lists the jpg images and says they are unreadable. But they are viewable on the iphone and I can see the ones I email. What might be going wrong here? Any ideas appreciated.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Iphoto not showing thumbnails from iphone

I have an iPhone 4S with latest software update 6.1.1.
Mac mini on OSX 10.6.8
iPhoto '09 v 8.1.2
My iPhone appears in iPhoto, but the photo thumbnails do not...just dotted lines where the thumbnails should be. And there's no ability to edit or import.
Did the latest iPhone software update cause this? Any other ideas?

Can not download photos from iphone to computer or mobile me

i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer thru itunes at all i went to the local at&t store but instead they convinced me that buying mobile me would automatically sync my photos and still havent figured that out please help so frusturated..............

Hi, Kortiz - I think your question was -"i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer . . . please help so frusturated.............. "
Excuse the babble as this is written quickly but I too just was setting up my iPhone 3GS with to get test photos I shot today onto my MAC computer, and I was "frusturated" TOO! I have a deep knowledge of Apple products, a MobileMe acct and I own Aperture, a wonderfully powerful program (expensive also, but also have APPL stock, so I balance that with positive returns) - but spent way over an hour trying to sleuth it out - only then turned to the internet to find others were in the same position.
I am a die-hard Apple Supporter, but finding a way to transfer 30 photos was far from intuitive, (I think I could only email-upload 5 at a time) and interestingly the "manual" as well as a "Dummies" book someone leant me as a joke do not address the process properly - they focus on a process to upload TO your iPhone - as does the answer from k8 below - why is this?! The answer was that you have to have an updated version of iPhoto or Aperture and figure it out from there (not obvious either), but even Aperture took more steps than were needed for what SHOULD be a simple transfer to the folder of your choice.
There is no doubt that Apple wants us all to spend a lot of time around the iTunes money machine (again, fine with me, bought stock when it was $17+ share) but why do iPhone "DEVICES" show up only in iTunes and not as part of a transparent system functionality? Most cameras and flash memory just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from a DEVICE to a PHOTO folder (or any other folder for that matter).
WHY have the design and engineering teams made it so convoluted for some of these issues when they have thought out FAR more complex actions so elegantly?
So, here are some questions I have in return if any APPLE techs are out there - (as I have not received a non "hedgy" answer from anyone of the "genius" employees)
The iPhone does not come up on the desktop as a "DEVICE"
iPhoto therefore cannot "IMPORT" the photos.
Wouldn't this make sence based on the "way" we do other actions on the MAC (or eek -PC)?
Someone in this forum answered " iTunes doesn't transfer photos from the camera roll to your computer. Get them as you would from any digital camera. "
Q: Why not use ONE program to deal with receipt from as well as transfer to the base computer?
Q: "Get them as you would from any digital camera" I WISH!!! Why do even SONY cameras just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from device to PHOTO folder?
AND WHY SHOULD THIS STATEMENT BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE?:
"iTunes will only sync photos from your computer to the photo album on your phone. The previous post covers that."
Q: Although we have learned since the early OSX days Apple no longer makes things to purely benefit the user without putting profits first and drawing continuing blood or cash second for the long term (just an observance) how can this issue be part of the grand plan for world domination? Isn't there some elegant behind the scenes way of allowing downloads as well as uploads from iTunes without leaving it?
Best, Tom

IPhoto not getting photos from Sony Cybershot

I have a Sony Cybershot, maybe about a year or two old, and I am now having trouble downloading photos from it onto my Macbook.
When I used to connect the Cybershot via the USB, it would bring up a volume called NONAME, which would also show up in iPhoto. I could then download my photos from there. I tried several times to rename NONAME with a name that would indicate it was the camera, but was never able to.
A few months ago, TWO volumes called NONAME started showing up when I connected the camera. But they would both show up in iPhoto and I would just figure out which one was actually the camera, and get the pictures off it.
Now when I connect the Cybershot via the USB port, I get three volumes showing up on my desktop:
1. PMHOME, which says it is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT16), Capacity 22 MB, Available 21.6 MB, Used 315,392 bytes
2. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT12), Capacity 51.1 MB, Available 51 MB, Used 131,072 bytes
3. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT32), Capacity 31.68 GB, Available 31.48 GB, Used 199,426,048 bytes
The last one must be the camera, but I don't understand what the other two are.
Once the camera is connected, the Cybershot gives me the screen saying it is connecting via USB, and then a screen saying 'Power feed with the USB disconnected.' If I click Okay on that screen, the Cybershot will show me the pictures on my camera, and suddenly all three volumes will disappear from my desktop, and I get a message saying "Disk not ejected properly" on my desktop. During this time iPhoto will not have opened automatically; if I open it manually, it does not detect the presence of the camera. Nothing shows up under "devices."
Any advice on what on earth is going on and how to fix it? Thank you.

I guess I am not explaining myself well - although it seems pretty simple and straight forward
Your only choice is to reformat the card - this erases the contents so if you want the photos that are on it you have to get them off first - the options to do that are
Use image capture (in your aplications folder)
or use a card reader
or use the finder ( most Sony cameras mount to the finder an you can just drag photos off of them)
Or another computer
The other computer does not have to be at your house or even a Mac - it can be a PC or at an Apple store or at a friends house - but if you want the photos then you must get them somehow
and then you must reformat the card

How do I transfer contacts notes and photos from iPhone to new ipad

How do I transfer content from iPhone to iPad

Hi Sacha' !
Thank you for your answer to my ipad question.
I was able to transfer my contacts, notes, calendar . . . etc., once I connected to Yahoo.
The info you gave me would be good, except that I don't use iCloud as it filled up the free 5GB on my iPhone
and then kept asking me to "buy more storage".
One day I may try to utilize the cloud, but now that I seem to have all my info from my iPhone transferred to my new iPad
I think I am good.
Thanks again !
