Iphoto not seeing iPhone4S

iPhoto not seeing camera roll on iphone 4S. Have turned on Photo Stream because when iPhone is plugged into iMac, it no longer shows up as a device in iPhoto. How do I get the pics from phone to iPhoto. It will show any pictures taken after enabling PhotoStream on my phone, but not pictures on "camera roll."

Have turned on Photo Stream because when iPhone is plugged into iMac
If you have iCloud enabled there's no need to connect the iPhone to the iMac. Photos, apps, music, etc syncs via your Wi-Fi network.
Try switching Photo Stream off then back on in Settings > iCloud then reset your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And restart your iMac.

IPhoto Not Seeing, Not Auto Launching with Either Canon PowerShot

Suddenly iPhoto on my MacBook Pro does not see and does not automatically download images from Canon S5 IS nor from my PowerShot A640.
I reinstalled iLife '08 but that made no difference.
Just to check, iPhoto saw and uploaded as normal from a Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 (different cable but same USB on the computer end of it.)
To check the Canon cables, I tried the cable that came with the S5 and the one that came with my PowerShot A640. Neither cable works.
Also, when I connect the cable, it disables the scroll wheel, i.e. camera will not scroll through photos stored in it.

Hi David. This is a post I made in early Dec. Hope it helps. Best regards.
Hi discussions. This is just an answer to a problem I was having and might be helpful to anyone having iPhoto camera connection problems. First off, I have four apple computers; three running 10.4.11 and one, a new 2.8ghz MacBook Pro, running 10.5.5. The Canon 750 Elph is two months old. From the beginning it has connected to my desktop DP 2.5ghz G5 PPc, my 12" 1.5ghz G4 Powerbook (both running 10.4.11) and now the MacBook Pro. It would not connect to my wife's 17" 1.33ghz G4 Powerbook running 10.4.11. System Prefs identified the Elph connected to the usb high speed bus so I knew that the usb ports were operational. Image Capture stated; No camera connected. As always, all updates had been performed and permissions run. I trashed iPhoto '08 along with its prefs and all iPhoto receipts. I then reinstalled iPhoto '08 and ran permissions. Still no connection. It was time for Apple Discussions. I followed a thread from some weeks ago to try rebuilding the iPhoto library. I saved and rebuilt. No connection. My apologies for not remembering the user in the thread who stated that a reinstall of the last OSX combo update might do the trick. He was speaking of the 10.5.5 combo update so I figured it should be the same for the 10.4.11 combo. I did not know that you could install an update over the existing OS which has already been updated. I am always learning. BINGO! The Elph connected immediately. Thanks to APPLE DISCUSSIONS, I still have a bit of hair left and a wife who loves me. I hope maybe this post will save the hair of someone else.

IPhoto not seeing migrated photos

I recently purchased a used MacBook Pro after my old iBook crashed. I was able to save all my files on an external hard drive, and the migration went smoothly. However, iPhoto has not recognized the iPhoto files I brought over from the ex. hard drive. At first all the iPhoto files showed a red circle and were locked. I updated the permissions on these and the red circles are gone, but iPhoto still does not see the files. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you migrate the photos over? The correct way is to copy the iPhoto Library folder/package from the Pictures folder on the old Mac to the Pictures folder on the new Mac, launch iPhoto and let it convert the library to the new format if needed. Is that what you did?

Iphoto not "seeing" most recent photos from my camera

When I connect my camera to iphoto, it does not see the most recent 27 pictures. They are visible on my camera, but when prompted to import, iphoto only sees the previously imported photos and asks if I want to import duplicates. WTHeck?

Launch Image Capture and see if it can recognize those photos and download them to a folder on the Desktop.
What camera do you have and does it have a removable memory card? If it does connect it to your Mac via a card reader (your iMac may have one in its side) and copy the photos from the card to a folder on the Desktop. Once you have the photos there and can confirm that they can be read (user Preview to view them) put the memory card back in the camera and reformat it with the camera. Take some test shots and try importing into iPhoto again.

IPhoto not seeing camera, only in my account

Hello all, I had recently started having a problem with our old Sony camera where when I plugged it in it would launch iPhoto, and that was it. It did show up as a mass storage device, but iPhoto wouldn't import unless I did it manually. I figured it was the camera, as it had other issues from being dropped.
So today I bought a new Canon PowerShot A590. So I plug that in and... same thing. So I try Image capture, and that doesn't see it either. So I install the Canon software, and that works.
Then I tried my wife's iBook running Tiger, and both iPhoto and Image Capture saw the camera. So then I went back to my G4 and logged in as root, which I only use for trouble shooting. iPhoto launched and saw thew camera and asked to import the photos. I tried repairing permission, deleting pref files, etc, to no avail. Also, since the Canon doesn't mount, I can't do a manual import.
Anyone have any ideas?

I figured out that whole "iPhoto not seeing the iPhone" thing...

...for me, anyway.
Hopefully, it will work for others, as well.
To preface the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1029222
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1043884
To briefly summarize:
My iPhone syncs perfectly fine with iTunes. It DID with iPhoto. The last 60 or so photos, every time I try to sync, iPhoto either says "No items to import" or doesn't even see the iPhone at all (but, iTunes and ASP does).
The last couple days, iPhoto never showed it in the list to even tell me there's no photos to import.
So, I came across an idea whilst trying to go to sleep last night. I got the idea from when I was trying to get my massive photo library to work across the network with Connect360 (so I could stream my photos to my XBOX 360). After several emails with Nullriver, we couldn't come up with a solution... that is until, just for grins, I swapped out the library with a new one with just a couple photos. Then it worked fine.
So, my idea was that, for some reason, as the iPhone took on more photos, the less reliable it became when trying to sync to iPhoto, as was certainly the case in my situation. After too many photos, it just ceased recognition. I had 260 photos in my camera reel. This morning I deleted all but the last 80 I couldn't get to sync.
I plug it into my computer, and immediately, iPhoto pops up and asks if I want to import 80 items. I say, "Please, for the love of God." (It's a button in the debug menu
So, if you are having trouble, try deleting out a lot of the old, already synced photos... get your camera reel numbers down to when it actually worked.
Post here if it fixed your problem - or didn't...
Gigabit Ethernet G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10) Lots of RAM, HD Space, and Apple Lovin'

OK... So, just to make sure it's not my home machine, I plugged my iPhone into my Quad-Core 2.5ghz G5 at work.
Guess what happened?
iTunes popped up and tried to erase everything (Apple needs to fix the 'Automatically sync this iPhone' so that it stays machine independent - as in, if I plug it into my work machine just to harvest the power, I don't want to have to worry about quickly hitting the stop button - but, when I get home, I want my iPhone to automatically sync... but it won't, because it retains the work machine's setting, and vice versa)
iPhoto DIDN'T pop up. I manually opened iPhoto
(a tough task, I know), it SAW the iPhone, but said the usual "There are no items to import." Same thing with Image Capture (0).
So, and here's the kicker... I took 5 more photos...
I plugged it into the Quad-Core...
iTunes popped up fine.
iPhoto didn't.
It also didn't seem to 'see' the iPhone any more.
It's not in the Source list... where is it!
Image Capture only shows my Scanner and no longer the photo import dialog.
My total photos?
A whopping 171...
I'll let you know if it does this when I get home.
OK - nevermind.
I took another 7 photos.
I plugged it in.
Both iTunes and iPhoto popped up.
iPhoto asked if I wanted to import the 178 items.
I wonder if it's some kind of issue with the internal iPhone photo library and it's cataloging... or something.

IPhoto not seeing my pictures from iphone

When I plug my phone into the computer it says I have no pictures on my device when I do. This has never happened to me before. what is wrong. Do I have to reset something?

Details are critical
You post talks about photos - now you are talking about videos? WHich is it? And how are you transfering - WiFi sync or PhotoStream? PhotoStream as documented does not support video
Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream does not work with video.

IPhoto not seeing camera pictures

When hooking up my camera to my computer, iPhoto recognizes it but on the import screen displays "no photos to import." However the Sd card in the camera does in fact have pictures on it (413 to be exact). I've even tried importing the pictures via image capture but the "no pictures to import" prompt appears. Any ideas to help with offloading the pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

In iphoto my photos do no appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.

Help! In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested? If you did it properly you will get this window:
The second option is the one you want to run.

Something went wrong with iPad photo/Video import and now iPhoto on Mac does not see content.

I just connected my iPad (4.3.2) to my mac (10.5). It launched the synch process for photos and videos and everything went fine. I then clicked on one of the newly imported photos in iPhoto and it choked and ultimately closed the app and gave me message along the lines of "iPhoto quit Unexpectedly." I rebooted the machine and when it came up went to look in iPhoto and saw that the new photos/video were not there. They are still on the iPad (Fortunately!) However when I reconnect the iPad to the Mac it does not see any content to import. In essence it seems to think it did the import and is not aware that it lost the content.
There's a couple possible solutions I'm interested in. One, are the photos/video somewhere on the Mac and just need to be dug up? I nosed around a bit but found nothing. Then other solution would be is there some way to force iPhoto to reimport what's on the iPad, ignoring that it feels it's already done this?
Thanks,
Wil

Where did these photos come from to begin with? Did you import them from the iPad into iPhoto on your Mac? Is that what you are saying here?

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

This is a long shot but try this:
1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.
