Iphoto not detecting iphone

I plug in my iPhone 4S to iphoto, but it does not detect my phone. Well, it detects it as a camera, but then no photos show up to import.

And do you have unimported photos in the camera roll on it?

IPhoto not detecting iPhone and iPad

I'm using iPhoto 08, ver 7.1.5 (378).
I've been using it with my iPhone 3GS and iPad with no problems until last night.
But starting from this morning, iPhoto would NOT detect any of my devices.
I've tried some tips from the forum -- restarting the system, deleting images from emails in my iPhone, taking picture with my iPhone and reconnect to my Mac. Noe of them worked.
Any help?

Yes you are right, I found image capture app on applications folder, looks like it is an alternative to iPhoto app, however when I connect my devices and open the app I am getting a message "no camera or scanner is connected" so look like whatever is causing the problem for iPhoto also blocks image capture, that app also does not recognise my devices, is there any other way I can transfer photos?? Or what might be the problem for this iPhoto \ image capture issue??
By the way I just realised even iTunes is not detecting my devices now, so I will try a restart after I finish downloading some stuff, meanwhile please let me know if any solutions.
P.S: Is APPLE paying you guys to bombard negative comments?? Almost like once negative comments are detected you guys jump on it, I understand the fanaticism however I am facing a problem that clearly prevents me to upload my photos to my MAC and I am complaing abut it, i believe i have the right to do that as a consumer.
Not sure why you guys take the neative comments and complaints so serious.

IPhoto not detecting iPhone 3gs

1. iPhoto isn't detecting my iPhone so i can't get my photos off the phone onto my computer.
2. read previous discussion about deleting pictures off iPhone from emails or web that were saved to it. did that and still no love.
3. in previous discussion it told me to open image capture and tell prefs to look for iPhoto when plugging in a camera.
(a.) there is not a "prefs" drop down on image capture shrug
I know this is probably something really simple. would be quite appreciative of the help.
thanks for listening.

You're welcome.
With the OS X and iPhoto version you are using, the option you mentioned is available at iPhoto > Preferences under the General tab. Under the General tab at "Connecting Camera Opens" is where you can select No Application, iPhoto, or Image Capture. This is for automatically launching your selected application only when a digital camera is connected. This does not automatically import photos - this launches the selected application only if not launched when a digital camera is connected. This has nothing to do with your iPhone not being detected as a digital camera by iPhoto.
3,273 photos? Wow, and you've never imported any of these photos by iPhoto - this is the first time you've tried doing this? That is a lot of photos. As with any other digital camera, photos captured by your iPhone should be imported on a regular basis for a number of reasons - with this being one of them. This also increases your iPhone's backup time with iTunes, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for extracting these photos from your iPhone's backup on your Mac. I'll check for some and report back unless someone here beats me to it.
If you are able to extract these photos from your iPhone's backup on your computer, I suggest restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup and in the future import photos captured by your iPhone on a regular basis - once a week at least followed by deleting the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete. iPhoto includes this option after importing photos from any digital camera.
If I want any of the photos I recently imported followed by being deleted from the Camera Roll available on my iPhone for viewing, I add the photos to a new iPhoto album in iPhoto. I select this album under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.
I'll check for some 3rd party utilities that allow for extracting photos from your iPhone's backup.

Hello HungryHoover,
It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

Itunes 10.6.3 not detecting IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 after mac updated to OSX 10.6.3

Sorry about the crazy long title. I updated my Mac 2 nights ago to OSX 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) and now Itunes 10.6.3 is not detecting my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 when I plug it in. The phone still chirps when I plug it into the USB port. I can still get photos and video from the IPhone in IPhoto. How can I get my IPhone to sync with ITunes again? Any suggestions would be apprciated! Thanks!

Thank You! I just updated to OS X 10.6.8 and now my IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 will sync with ITunes 10.6.3. . I must be lucky as I did not update my ITunes to 10.7. I'm not even sure how I would do that? Do I have to buy it? When I tell my ITunes to chck for updates it says there is no update. Thanks again varjak paw! :-)

Have literally tried everything and iTunes will not detect iPhone

Just bought a new macbook and am having some serious issues with iTunes.... My iPhone was detected the first time i plugged it in, but now it will not detect it. As soon as i plug my phone in, iPhoto pops up but iTunes does not. When i open iTunes, my phone does not show up. I have done all the troubleshooting, restarted both phone and laptop, re-installed iTunes (when i did this, it worked again for one time, then when removed and re-connected it failed to detect it again)
Everytime i plug it in it charges, but iTunes will not find my phone. someone please either help me or shoot me because its driving me INSANE!!!!!!! i followed every step that apple says to do and have also looked at other peoples answers and nothing is fixing this!!!
thanks in advance

try if the suggestions in this thread work for you: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11434988&#11434988.

ITunes freezes / will not open / will not sync / will not detect Iphone

I am having numerous problems with iTunes. A few days ago iTunes began to freeze after opening, or not open at all. If it did open, it would not detect my iphone and would freeze when I plugged it in.
After reviewing these forums, I completely un-installed and re-installed iTunes, Quicktime, all the Apple Support applications, and Bonjour. I had to do this several times. I also ran anti-virus software, registry error software, disk-error checking software, with no results. I also ran a system restore to a date when iTunes was working. Eventually I got to a point where iTunes would open somewhat reliably, although slowly. However it would still not detect my iPhone, would often freeze after I connected my iPhone. Additionally, all of my audio files (music and podcasts) would not be detected by iTunes, and their associated libraries would show as empty, however the files were in the correct location on my hard drive.
I do not know what to do from this point...I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes upwards of a dozen times now, that can not be the problem. To the best of my knowledge, this problem began happening at random; I did not install any new software or make any changes to my system immediately prior to these problems occurring. Right now, after another re-install I am back to a point where I can't even get iTunes to open. Any help would be appreciated.
My System info:
Computer: Asus Notebook UL50VT/UL50Vg Series
OS: Windows 7 Home premium
iTunes version: iTunes 10.1.1 for Windows 64-bit
iPhone: 4.2.1
Please Help!
Thank you

Try this open your music app and access the store from there first, once done then you can go to the iTunes store app, try it and see if it works

ITunes V12.1.2.27 on Windows 8 does not detect iPhone 6 with IOS v8.3

Hello there,
It all began when I installed the latest IOS 8.3 and iTunes V12.1.2.27. iTunes simply does not detect my iPhone 6 any longer, but it does detect my old iPod mini. Everything used to be working just fine until the software update was done.
I've run thru all the steps on the Apple support page and spent over an hour on the phone with customer support. Checked the Apple mobile device driver, deinstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes, changed connecting cables etc etc. Nothing works!!
Help!
LES

exact same issue. And I can be TOTALLY sure it is related to the update since I was at the birthday party of my little nephew taking photo and everything were just fine. Then my brother asked me if I had already updated my iPhone. I said no and then I updated it while I was still there. From the moment the phone ended the update, I ended taking photos... The update screwed the camera focus mechanism somehow. I'm trying to downgrade to 8.1.3 and see if it will be back to normal. In this case it is a software issue, otherwise it will be a hardware failure caused by the update. I'm dowloading 8.1.3 ipsw right now.

IPhone DFU trouble: iTunes not detecting iPhone

I've just picked up a replacement iPhone 4 after experiencing faults with my previous handset. I went through the process of backing up my phone from my last iTunes sync, and was then prompted to update the firmware to 4.3.[whateverTheLatestVersionIs]. For whatever reason, that firmware update failed; there was an error code, but I wasn't switched on enough to note it down a the time (I know, I know...).
iTunes would no longer detect the phone, and the phone was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. So, I followed instructions to put the phone into DFU mode; this worked to a point - a Windows notification balloon popped up saying that Windows had detected an iPhone in DFU mode - so far so good. However, iTunes did not detect the phone. I have cycled in and out of DFU mode, restarted iTunes, restarted my machine and even shouted at the iPhone, but I've had no luck in getting iTunes to detect it.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd get myself to a Genius Bar if I could, but won't be able to before I go away for a long weekend tomorrow night; I'd like to have my phone working for this if possible...
Can anyone help?
Setup:
iPhone 4
iTunes 10.4.0.80
Windows XP Professional, SP3

Incidentally, the Windows balloon no longer pops up when I cycle in and out of DFU mode (although I am sure that I am managing to cycle in and out of DFU mode..)

Itunes not detect iphones

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
iPhone 3GS
As the title says, I cannot get this itunes to detect my ******* iphone and its been a week and no help. I'd appreciated it if people would not copy paste a garbage link on troubleshooting because I TRIED THEM ALL AND NONE WORKS.
Tried reinstalling everything apple, tried updating my iphone using another computer, tried updating driver (but it wont because its already updated!), tried restarting the service (apple mobile) but it wont restart once I stop it because it says "the apple mobile device service on local computer started and the stopped."
Who do I have to call with a very angry voice to get this **** to work? I tried everything, I am tired... someone for the love of god help.
PS,
Don't say its my firewall / anti virus because ITS NOT, it has been working for the longest time ever with them and it even detects my 120GB iPod but not my iPhone or my brothers iTouch.

I managed to update the driver but now I cannot see the ipod under My Computer OR itunes

Computer is not detecting iPhone 5. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. Still nothing.

Please help! My computer will not detect my iPhone nor will iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and still nothing. I did notice that under device manager there is no apple mobile device folder. I don't know what to do from here. Please help!

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 Start on number five. If you are using a windows computer, you will most likely have to update the "USB device Driver" then iTunes will recognize your device.

Itunes not detecting iphones but detecting ipod

I have re-installed iTunes on Windows XP but it does not detect any of two iPhones 4, but it does detect my iPod. The camera wizard does, howver, detect both iPhones as cameras. Apart from re-installing iTunes I have also stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service and following up on another lead on the web deleted Bonjour, but still no iPhone detection.
