IPhoto will not recognize iPad mini

I have an iPad mini running iOS 6.1.3. I need to move pictures from that iPad to an iMac running OSx 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto on the iMac is not recognizing the iPad. iTunes does recognize it though. I have tried repairing permissions, as well as restarting both the iMac and the iPad. The iPad does have photo stream turned on as well as shared photo streams. I can not turn these options off or I will lose all my picture. Is there another way to get the photos off of the iPad? or Is there another way that I can get iPhoto to recognize the iPad?

Hello RedHots,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3195
Verify that there is a photo available to be imported:Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time (the screen should flash briefly). Manually open your photo-management software to determine if this software can recognize the device and import photos.
Try using the photo-management software built in to your computer's operating system:
Mac OS X: Open Image Capture (located in the Applications folder).
Check for software updates to your photo-management software.
Verify that iTunes and your iOS software are up to date. Download and install any updates that are available.
Check for and install any available operating system updates. (On Mac OS X, select Software Update from the Apple Menu. On a PC, run the Windows Update application.)
Try using a different computer to import your photos.
Email photos to yourself if you wish to keep them. Then, delete them from your device and reconnect the device to your computer.
Note: If you have a large number of these photos on your device, you may delete them from your device a few at a time and reconnect to the computer until the device is recognized.
Best of luck,
Mario

Itunes will not recognize ipad mini

Itunes will recognize and sync with my iphone, but will not recognize and sync with my ipad mini.

Did you just recently update iTunes? And are you using windows?
If so, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs, uninstall iTunes, apple mobile device support and apple application support. Then download and reinstall iTunes and see if that works.
If you're using a mac then it may be something else.

My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c

My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c, therefore I can't import any of my pictures.
I read that it could be the cable do I went out and bought another but it is still not working?
Neither itunes nor iphoto open when I plug in my phone, however when I open up itunes manually, it recognizes it. Any suggestions?

Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to USB. The iPhone will prompt you, if you trust this computer. Confirm that you trust it.
Then try again to import to Photos.
If "trust" was not the reason, try a different USB port on your computer.

Just started. iphoto will not recognize iphone as a camera

frustrated here. All of a sudden, IPhoto will not recognize my iPhone as a camera and therefore will not upload photos taken on the phone. No settings have been changed. Not sure what to do here.

Got any photos in your camera roll that were emailed to you or saved through safari? If so, try deleting them or emailing them to yourself & then deleting them from your camera roll. See if iphoto will then see your phone.

TS3988 I have no trouble with email but IPhoto will not recognize my server when I try to send a photo to a friend. Anyone else have this probelm ...a solution??? N

I can email but IPhoto does not recognize my server to enable me to send email photos. Any advice? N

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My PC does not recognize ipad mini as a drive

When I connect my ipad mini to my PC with the provided USB, my PC does not recognize my ipad mini as a hard drive. Under devices on my PC the ipad mini is identified as "Apple Mobile Device". The driver on my PC is "Apple mobile device USB driver". It states that it is working properly and there are no updates for the driver. How can I have my PC recognize the ipad mini as a hard drive?

You can't. It cannot be used as a disk drive. It is accessible through iTunes, only.

Itunes will not recognise ipad mini device

I Have installed the latest update for Itunes 11.1.3.8 on windows XP. i connect my new ipad and nothing happens. I have the lastest IOS on my new ipad. I deauthorised all devices as i had 5 thinking this was the problm. I cannot find how to authorise an ipad if it doesn't appear in itunes on the computer.
I cannot load all my movies onto my ipad and thats why i brought it in the first place. i am in strife here. Can anyone help me?

I have been able to get my device recognised on another computer. Interesting. I had to do a complete reinstall of iTunes I.e. Uninstall it then then reinstall it, I may have to try it again on the other computer so I reduce my authorised devices. I have screen lock on and this must be unlocked before I sync it with the computer. Now my problem will be this device authorisation of 5 devices. I have 2mini iPads that I want for different purposes. I have 2 ipads of different sizes I have 2 computers now each one recognises my minis I have a 4gb iPod nano to play music, and an 8gb iPod touch. I will have to think how I am going to use them.
2 computers, nano, iPod touch, 16gb iPad, 32gb iPad, 64gb iPad mini x 2. That's 8 devices. Of. Course my wife and I share them. We read the books and watch the movies we don't want too have to pay twice to buy the same book or movie, but I think we will need 2 accounts. I hope home sharing will work because that the only solution I can think of.

My Mac and/or iPhoto will not recognize my camera.

So I shot pics in RAW yesterday and when I hook my camera it is not recognized. This happened the other day also when I shot in RAW. What would be the problem?

Did you apply the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.2? If so the following may help:
"Source:http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8142169#8142169
Page Title: Apple - Support - Discussions - Can't import Canon RAW's (400D) to ...
Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7:26:47 PM
This might work (from Clem who figured it out):
Delete the file: System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle then (re)install the previous version.
Get the previous version here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawcompatibilityupdate21.htm l
Restart your computer. "
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IMAC, iMovie, iPhoto will not recognize iPhone, won't charge either

Hello All:
I just took some video with my iPhoto 3GS, and connected my iPhone to my iMac only to find that:
iPhone is not recognized by either iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie and what's more it won't charge. That is, my iMAC can't detect iPhone as a connected device. I went to the Apple support page and ran through all of the troubleshooting steps (except clean uninstall and reinstall of iTunes.)
As a control, I connected iPhone to my MacBook and all fine: it charges, iTunes recognizes it as a connected device, as do iPhoto and iMovie.
This is a new thing, as when I got the iPhone a month or so ago, I used my iMac to initialize it.
All software up to date, all USB ports on iMAC work, cable is fine.
The ONLY new software I have loaded since I last used iPhone and iMAC together is Snapz Pro X (trial), so I did a thorough (and I mean thorough) uninstall of that...no change.
I live in Spain, so my closest Genius Bar is London, and I'm not flying up with a 24"iMAC under my arm!
Any help?
Steve

Isn't it always the last place you look for something is where you'll find it?
Last night when I made the post I was just too tired to delete iTunes and go through the Libraries to scrub out the files.
This morning, with a Cappuccino I did it.
Reloaded a fresh copy of iTunes...all better now.
Perhaps Apple support on this topic should change "on rare occasions you will need to reinstall iTunes" to "you will need to reinstall".
Anyway, better now.
BTW: the reason all this happened is because I wanted to transfer iPhone videos to my Mac to work on them in iMovie. iMovie won't recognise the iPhone, but, Image Capture does!! Just offloaded the 10 vids from iPhone in .mov format. I'm good to go.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 will not recognize iPads

I recently upgraded to 10.6.3 and after completing the set up iTunes no longer recognizes either iPad devices. One iPad runs 5.1 and the other runs 4.3.3. However, my older iPods are recognized. Does anyone have experience with this situation and a solution? My intent is to further upgrade the OSX to Lion. Should I upgrade now and see if the issue is resolved or work the issue in the current OSX and then upgrade again after?
Thank you.

I completed the upgrade to 10.6.8 and still cannot seem to get iTunes to 1) Open when any device is plugged in 2) Recognize the 2 iPads or iPod Touch. I will recognize an older iPod Nano and a newer Nano.
When iPad 5.1 is plugged in PhotoShop opens. Any suggestions?

Iphoto will not recognize and import photos from camera.

Have a Kodak camera and never had any problems importing pictures from it directly to Iphoto until I upgraded My Imac to 10.6.8 Am using Iphoto 09 version 8.1.2. This is becoming quite a problem after searching for answers and seeing all the posts all over the place. I think it must be the Mac upgrade. Can't be the camera. Thanks for any help. I can get pics to Iphot but what a hassle.

While some issues have been reported with some Kodak camera's a more likely problem is the format of the memory card - get your photos off and reformat the card using the camera's format command you can also try renewing the iPhoto preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

IPhoto will not recognize itunes playlists

I have had this problem for a couple months now where iphoto slideshows and idvd, and imovie cannot find any of the itunes music playlists and the pop-up for slideshows just says "open itunes 6 or higher to populate list" but never does.
I recently upgraded to ilife 08 hoping that that would solve the issue but its still there. After reading some posts online i tried rebuilding my itunes library xml file many times, opened the apps in the correct order, repaired permissions deleted, threw away preference plist files, and even threw away and reinstalled several of the apps. None of them seemed to solve the issue. Anyone have any ideas to get the iapps to see itunes playlists again?? Please help

No, this is a purely diagnostic step. It tells us that both iTunes and iPhoto are okay, there's no need to re-install them and that the issue is somewhere in your main user account.
When the apps interact, iPhoto reads the iTunes xml file, and the problem is in there somewhere, so I would also be posting over there.
All my comments about the iTunes xml file are based on what I've learned about the iPhoto one. They may not necessarily apply.
Where is your iTunes Library? On your start up drive? On an external? If an external, what format is it?
Do you have any non-ascii characters in your mp3 metadata or tags (essentially, anything not a-z or 0-9)

IPhoto Does Not Recognize File

No search. I have a file that iPhoto will not recognize. I made a jpeg and tiff, and it will open in Preview and Photoshop, but not iPhoto. Says it doesn't exist, or is corrupt. Neither is true. Any help is appreciated.

Claude
Where is the file? Have you put it into the iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import pics from there - a sensible precaution against duplication.

TD
