IPhoto stopped importing iPhone photos automatically, how to i change this?

so whenever i connected my iphone to my imac the photos i had would back up onto iphoto immediately but now they dont do it at all. How to i fix this? Could it have something to do with icloud?

Your situation really is confusing. Try moving the Originals folder you moved out of the Rescue folder back into the rescue folder. Then move the Rescue folder back into the pictures folder. The Rescue folder should now be as it was earlier. Launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, locate and select the Rescue folder. If it open OK and you have your library as it was before we started you can move the other library to the desktop. Then take the Originals folder out of that library folder and import into your Rescue library. That was you'll have all of the pictures in the library. But before you do, make a temp copy of the Rescue folder (select and type Command-D) just in case.

You question is a little Confusing...
Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
If so...
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
If not..
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

IPhoto looses imported iPhone photos

So I've looked around the board for similar issues, but nothing seems to fit exactly with my issue (or offer a resolution), so here goes...
Recently, whenever I try to import photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, an issue arrises in which the actual photo is missing (a large exclamation point takes its place). The thumbnail for the event/photo is present, and when I "Get Info" the picture, it even shows the correct name and GPS location. However, for the life of me, I can't seem to find the original photo. I have tried looking around in the iPhoto Library, but no folders or files exist. Any suggestions?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

My icloud ID on my iphone is incorrect how do I change this?

Several weeks ago I updated my Apple ID with a new e-mail address - this effectively cancelled the previous profile e-mail address. The settlings for iCloud on my Iphone 4 displays the old ID but I am not able to log in using the previous password nor can I change the id on the phone. I have read previous advice from the forum which appears to predate IOS7 but I can not delete the profile as it requires the password which is no longer valid.

Lots of views but no replies so I managed to figure it out for myself.
I created an apple ID using my old email address and selected a new password. Once I verified the email address I was then able to sucessfully log in to iCloud on my device with the newly selected password, I then deleted that profile from my handset and replaced it with my regular apple id.
Problem solved.

Why has iphoto stopped importing from iphone

Up til now iPhoto has always opened automatically when I connect my iPhone to my computer and started importing photos. In the last week it has stopped. I have looked at iPhoto preferences and iTunes preferences but can't find how to change settings. Can anyone help? Thanks

IMPORTANT READ THIS: disregard everything else i said about photostream because that is not your problem.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIMPLY SIGNOUT OF MAC ACCOUNT AND SING BACK IN AND PLUG YOUR IPHONE AGAIN
once you have done this iphoto will pop up to import photos. the problem was that you probably quit out of iphoto when it was triying to import iphone photos once. If you do this, as long as your sighned in to your mac account, iphoto wont pop up, no matter how many times you plug your iphone nto the mac.

I am unable to download all photos to computer. At a certain photo I get the following message: IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I go around this image

I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer. At a certain photo the following message appears: IPhoto cannot import your photos
because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

I'm having the same issue. i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone. problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
and I do apologize for hijacking.

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

HT1386 My Iphone has stopped importing new photos to my computer when I connect and does not show a photos option under the device when in itunes. I don't have any access to the photos except directly through the phone.

It seems after my latest upgrade that my phone has stopped importing new photos and vids when I link up to my computer. It always would ask me if I wanted to tag new photos and then would import to computer. Now it does not and when I am in Itunes the options under my device does not include photos so i can't even import them manually. Any ideas on what is up?

iTunes doesn't import photos from your device, in only syncs photos from your computer to your device.
You may need to adjust your autoplay settings as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 (except to enable digital camera notification, not disable it) in order to restore automatic prompts to import photos.

Hi I want to back up my photos from my iPhone 5. How can I do this? I have an iPad mini but cannot sync to an iPhone as iPad does not have USB port. Can you help please

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
