IPhoto not finding iphone

My iphoto is not finding my iphone and I also tried looking under image capture

Kayla,
For me the resolution required many steps in order.
iTunes, Image Capture, and iPhoto have all been quit.
My iPhone 3Gs is disconnected from the cable.
In ~/Library/Preferences, trashed are all com.apple.iPhoto... plists .
I also trashed all com.apple.Image_Capture... plists .
My iPhone 3Gs is turned off by holding the sleep/wake button on the top until I could slide the switch.
I turned the iPhone back on by holding the sleep/wake button on the top until the apple appears.
Finally, I plug the iPhone into the USB cable.
Happily, iPhoto launches with the iPhone appearing in the list of devices.
Upon launching Image Capture, I also see the iPhone there too.
FYI, this Macintosh is an intel Mac Pro running Lion, Mac OS 10.7.2. My iPhoto is version 8.1.2.
Cheers

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

I was downloading the new IOS and message could not find Iphone appears in Itunes window - Now my my phone is stuck with the power symbol and an arrow pointing to the Itunes symbol, I have tried turning off my phone and turning it back on but nothing seems to work

So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again.

IPad does not find iphone hotspot

I have iPhone 4S and an iPad2 WiFi both running iOS5.1
I use the iPhone hotspot function to get the iPad on the internett when not at home. This workes great, I had to type inn the WiFi password the first time i connected the iPad, later the iPad connects without having to type the password.
Since iOS 5.1 the iPad sometimes have problems finding the iPhone hotspot. I turn on the "shared internet" function of the iPhone, open the smartcover on the iPad, but it does not connect (the two attached rings does not appear). If I go to Settings>WiFi on the iPad, the iPhone WiFi hotspot does not show up, the iPad just keeps searching. Then after a little while, the iPad suddently connect, ususally after I open Safari or Mail or something on the iPad. If I then close the smartcover, and leave the iPhone hotspot on, reopen the iPad smart cover, again the iPad does not seem to find the WiFi hotspot. I have to turn the hotspot function off/on on the iPhone, and then after a little while it works. When first connected,everything works OK.
Is this a problem with iOS 5.1?

Just going to the hotspot screen on the iPhone puts it in host mode where it's easy for the iPad to find it.
You lose some speed due to bandwidth bottleneck of Bluetooth, but I found bluetooth tethering had fewer headaches and was more persistent.

Just updated to ios 5 and now my computer can not find iphone or ipad

after I updated my iphone 4 and both of my ipad 2s to ios 5 and my computer no longer finds them. They used to show up as devices with removable storage, but now they dont show up anymore. does anyone have a fix for this? any help would be appreciated

correction to my last remark....... resetting my iphone worked, now it show up as digital camera again. However resetting the ipad 2s didnt do anything. I dont know if this is an ipad2 thing or not. My original ipad1 showed up on my pc (before i sat on it and broke it) but both of my ipad2s dont show up. am I screwed?

IPhoto Not Deleting iPhone Camera Pictures

When I connect my iPhone to my Mac, iPhoto launches and offers to import the pictures for me. (I want this behavior). It then asks what to do with duplicates, and I tell it don't import duplicates. After the photos have been imported, it offers to delete the photos on my iPhone...I tell it "Yes"...but it doesn't delete them.
Do I have to delete camera roll photos manually on my iPhone?

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
1) If you have synched and transferred your iPhone camera roll photo's to your Mac and did not select the iPhoto option to delete the originals off the iPhone as part of transfer process, then you like me, now have two sets of photo's: the originals on the iPhone and the identical photos transferred into iPhoto.
2) As I took more iPhone photo's and did additional synchs/transfers to iPhoto, unless I choose to "delete originals" as part of the iPhoto transfer, I continued to have more and more images left on my iPhone. I was never able to clear out the camera roll once and for all.
3) Short of going one by one on the iPhone camera roll and deleting the images, what I now use is the Apple app, "*__Image Capture_*"
4) Attach your iPhone to your Mac as if you were going to synch. Go to your Apps folder, open the "Image Capture" app. After it loads you will see on the left hand side under Devices your iPhone listed.
5) Select your iPhone, and in the main image Capture window you will then see all the images currently on your iPhone camera roll. You can now select all or some and click the Delete button (Red Circle with a line thru it) at the bottom of the Image Capture screen. This will delete them from the iphone and clear your camera roll.
(NOTE: please make sure you have already transferred the images off your iPhone if you want to keep them, because as far as I know, once you delete them this way from your iPhone they are gone.)
6) As an additional option, you can if you so desire, opt to click on the "Delete after Import" box (lower right corner in the main Image Capture page). The means that all future transfers/synch of images from your iPhone to iPhoto will be deleted afterwards whether or not you say so in iPhoto transfer.
Hope this helps. It did for me, I was able to finally removed the 800 or so photo's I had left behind on my iPhone. My camera roll is clean now and the process works much better, at least for me.

Iphoto not reading iphone

All of a sudden iPhoto is not reading my iPhone. As a result I cannot download new images.
Any ideas?

Many people fix these issues simply by restarting the phone. Some require a reset.

Iphoto not recognizing iphone?

I cant get iphone to download photos not even an option in iphoto.

Same problem here, photo sync used to work fine, stopped all of a sudden. I wanted to sync before the 1.0.2 update just in case, and I had about 200 photos outstanding. Plugged in phone, not recognized in iPhoto or image capture. Rebooted mac (G5 dual), reset iPhone, plugged in again, nothing. There were a couple of timeouts on the USB bus in the log that looked suspicious.
I was now at the "grasping at straws" stage, so I grabbed the USB cable that was included in the iPhone box and tried that (I had been using the USB cable that came with an iPod). This was -really- grasping at straws and really hoping for magic, since the phone with the other cable was working fine syncing with iTunes....just not the photos.
So unplugged the old cable, used the new one, and it worked. Freaky. To double-verify, I went back to the iPod cable, and it also worked now. Double freaky.
So, who knows. But it might be worth a shot to try the original cable if you're using a different one. Switching USB ports maybe would help as well? Or just plug it in, leave it for a few seconds, and then unplug both ends of the cable and plug it back. Nothing makes much sense, but these activities apparently fixed it for me.

IPhoto not recognizing iPhone 5s

Photos on my iPhone 5s are not being imported to iPhoto. Device seemingly is not recognized.

You might need to reset and/or restore the iphone.
Here are a couple of articles from the iphone support website that might help out.

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.

HT4236 iPhoto not recognizing iPhone with too many photos.

I recently took a lot of pictures using my iPhone (about 15,000 cos I was doing a time lapse). Now when iPhoto & Image Capture will not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in; the phone still shows up in iTunes.
I hooked up another iPhone onto my Mac and it syncs fine. I also hooked up both phones onto a Windows PC, the other phone is working fine but I am unable to access the photos in the phone with 15,000 photos.
How can I get my photos off the phone?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Vista can not find iPhone drivres

Every time I try to install my iPhone's blue-tooth it does not work. Vista is always searching for the drivers and cant find it. So where can I download drivers for the iPhone 3G?
The following features don't work for my iPhone.
Bluetooth on iPhone will allow:
Stereo music headphones/speakers/etc
Telephone headsets and handsfree.

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.

Iphoto not syncing iphone

iPhoto is not recoginizing my iPhone when I sync it. Image Capture does not recognize it is connected either. But iTunes does recognize my phone. I am running Mavericks on my iMac and have upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my iPh

Terence - restarting phone didn't work.
Apologies, but i am not clear what you mean when you say "try reset it". Are you talking about the phone or iPhoto? and either way, not sure how to reset it. Thanks for your help.
BTW - just got the latest iPhoto update - version 9.5 (902.7). Thanks.
