IPhoto won't upload pictures from iPhone

I'm having trouble uploading photos from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto on my MacBook. When I connect my phone to the computer, iPhoto doesn't automatically open like it use to. However, if I manually open iPhoto it recongnizes that my phone is connected. When I click on my device it shows that there are no pictures to import, when infact, there are. The last time I uploaded photos from my phone to my computer was at the end of December. I believe there has been at least one or two updates to the iPhone since. Could that have something to do with it? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.1 since writing my post, and that seemed to fix the problem. Thank you!

Iphoto won't upload pictures from iphone anymore

Hi there, whilst I was uploading my photos from my iphone to iphoto, my macbook battery died (eventhough it said 35 mins left-but that's a different story!) when i reconnected everything iphoto won't let me upload - it keeps saying 'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.' No pictures are actually in iphoto from the upload when the battery died so I don't know why it keeps saying this. I tried using Image capture but this didn't work either...Can someone help please?

I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.1 since writing my post, and that seemed to fix the problem. Thank you!

My iPhoto won't upload pictures to Facebook...

My iPhoto won't upload pictures to Facebook. It lets me hit share and even choose the album I want to put them in. But when I click share the photos never show up on Facebook. Help?

Estou tentando há dias compartilhar fotos do iphoto para o facebook e não consigo, já desistalei várias vezes os dois aplicativos e não resolve. Acredito que depois da atualização do app facebook gerou esse conflito, como posso resolver isso?

Issues uploading pictures from iPhone to iPhoto

I am currently trying to upload pictures i recently took on my phone to iphoto. I have about 1000 pictures on my phone but when i try to import on iphoto only about 400 show up. Similarly, when i am trying to post pictures from my phone to apps such as Instagram my "all photos" tab only shows the same 400 pictures. These two issues are clearly related.
Thanks,
Adam

Remember only those taken in the last 30 days will show up in iPhoto under the My Photo Stream. Do you have your iPhoto iCloud preferences set to import the My Photo Stream photos into the library?
If so then you should have an Event for each month titled like this:

IPhoto won't import photos from iPhone

Hi - using a MBP 2.2, Leopard, iLife 08 and an 8gb iPhone. iPhoto used to import photos from the iPhone no problem - now it won't import it at all. Says it's an unreadable file (though a normal jpg).
What gives? Same issue trying to import two jpg's rec'd via email (and dragged to my desktop).
Any suggestions?

I have this problem now. I have MacOS 10.5.1, iPhoto '08, and iPhone running 1.1.2.
In my "camera roll" on the iPhone are 260 photos, all the pics I have taken since I got the phone. I imported some of them weeks ago with no problems into iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't import anything from the iPhone.
iPhoto does know there are photos on the phone, because there is set of blank thumbnail squares that I can select to import. When I look at the photo info, I can see the file name, size, date, but all the other info is missing or incorrect. It doesn't have camera maker or model. Most worrying though is the height and width of the pictures are zero.
I am thinking that there is some cache file on the phone that got corrupted somehow. Resetting to factory settings might help, but I really don't want to lose all the photos that I took from the holidays.
I've tried the above suggestions and no avail: logged out and into the .Mac account; powered down the phone; reset the iSync history (interestingly, iSync does not recognize my phone when I do a device scan).
I did try removing some stuff to make room, but still no dice.

Upload pictures from iphone to iweb

After taking picture on iphone, i have 3 choices, Use As Wallpaper, ?Email Photo, Assign to Contact. In the iweb advertisement it shows 4 choices. The forth being to upload to iWeb. How do I get the new choice added to phone? And also how do I view my iWeb gallery from phone?

phunsuch,
Was your .Mac account setup on the iPhone using the .Mac presets, or was it synced over?
In order to have the send to web gallery option you must have an active .Mac account, and iPhoto '08 installed, and have created a web gallery that allows you to upload via email.
This article discusses it in more detail:

Hope this helps,

Being slightly pedantic Nathan that isn't 100% true, though I understand where you are coming from. I have the web gallery option showing on my phone, even though I don't have iPhoto '08. I know (cos I've tried) that I can't actually upload to it due to my lack of iPhoto '08, but the option is showing on my phone, and that's what the OP was missing on his. Not trying to confuse, just trying to work out why our apparently identical set-ups are showing different things.

Upload pictures from iphone to pc

is their any way to upload pictures I've taken from my iphone to my computer?, or am i going to have to email all of my pictures to myself and then save them on to my pc.

If the computer recognizes your iphone connected, you can go into my computer, double click on the iphone and you should be able to view the pictures you have taken with your iphone.
You can click on the events tab and set an action for the computer to perform when a camera is connected.

Uploading pictures from iPhone to macbook pro.

hello, I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong here. But how do I upload pictures that I have taken with my iPhone onto my computer?
Thanks again for all the help.

You're MBP may not be set up to automatically launch iPhoto when the iPhone (or a digital camera) is connected. If you have iLife '08, the setting for that is in iPhoto Preferences. If you have iLife '06, the setting is in Applications > Image Capture > Preferences.

How do I upload pictures from iphone 5c and iPhoto for editing in photoshop elements 12 please?

I used to be able to edit all my iphoto pictures in PSE10. I set the advanced section of preferences in iphoto to edit in PSE. Since installing Photoshop Elements 12, I cannot get the transfer into PSE of the photos (unedited and unreduced) to work.
The general preferences only give a camera the options of connecting to iphoto, aperture, image capture, or, no application. Assuming my phone is a camera for editing purposes, I would like to give it the option of connecting to PSE 12.
Also, I would like to import my photos from the iphone 5C into PSE12 for editing. There is an import action in PSE12 which does not seem to work with the imac and iphone.
In addition, my email application is greyed out in the general preferences; I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
How can I change the settings in 'general' and 'advanced' preferences to work for me, Please?
Thanks

Check to see if the iPhone is a remove able drive then go thru folders looking for dcim folder that holds the pics on the iPhone

IPhoto won't import videos from iPhone 6 Plus

I'm trying to import the videos from my iPhone 6 Plus into iPhoto (9.6.1). iPhoto acts like it's about to import but it gets to the end and says it can't import the videos from the iPhone because they are in an unrecognized format (.MOV)
I've never had an issue in the past, any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm using a brand new iMac with Yosemite (10.10.2) and iPhone 6 Plus.
Thanks!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

IPhoto won't import pictures from CD-R.

The CD's were made on the first model of the dome 15 " G4 iMac combo drive to free up space on the 60G hard drive quite a few years ago. At the time I checked and the photo's came up from all the CD's in iPhoto. I now have a iMac 23" with an i3 processor, 1TB hard drive with 700G free space left. Latest version of software. It just says preparing for import, and the activity bar comes up. A couple of times iPhoto has just quit after about 10 minutes, and the last time it went on for about 20 mins with no sign of progressing ( the CDs can only hold 700MB).
I would appreciate any ideas on how I can get access to these family photos, I have 5 CD's worth!
Thanks
Best wishes Amer

Hi Terence, I must admit I didn't have a clue how the photo's were saved - I just used the iPhoto help advice available at the time. What confused me was that my old iMac did just import direct from the disks. I now know that having followed Larry's advice, they were saved as an iPhoto library because that is the title that came up for the folder in Finder. Thanks for getting involved.
Best wishes Amer

ICloud Photo Library won't upload pics from iPhone

Hi all,
So I think it might have been with the 8.3 update, but for some reason any new pics taken on my iPhone will not upload to my iCloud Photo Library. I've tried turning off/on iCloud Photo Library, syncing with my computer, etc. but nothing has helped. Anyone else struggling with this/have a solution getting your pics to sync between devices? Thanks!

I have the same issue. These are my findings so far:

I will be updating that post as I discover more.

Went from Mountain Lion to Yosemite on 2009 MacBook Pro. Safari now randomly shuts down; Word doesn't work properly; iPhoto will not upload pics from iPhone; EVERYTHING is horribly slow. How to I go back to Mountain Lion?

Is there a way to go back to Mountain Lion after updating to Yosemite? Yosemite has caused nothing but problems in multiple programs. Mountain Lion ran fine. Not sure why I even updated. I am NOT a computer guru so instructions I have read for the many Yosemite fixes blow my mind. Should I be taking my MacBook Pro to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store (2 hours away)? I have been a Mac user and lover for many years and am SO frustrated and disappointed in all of it right now. Please advise on what a non-tech frustrated Mac user can do.

Technically, you can downgrade if you have the following:
Your computer must be elligible to run Mountain Lion. If your computer came with Mavericks or Yosemite out of the box, you can forget it.
You need an already existing Mountain Lion installer file. If you still have that somewhere, for example in your Applications folder, or anywhere else, it's usable- note that it needs to be originally downloaded with your own Apple ID and password. If you made a Mountain Lion USB installer or DVD back then that would work too. If your Time Machine back-ups go back to the days of Mountain Lion or Lion you could check your Applications folder from inside Time Machine and restore it to your computer.
To not have data loss you need a Time Machine back-up that goes back to when you were still running Mountain Lion. Please note that this will revert your data to exactly the date that you choose. If you installed Mavericks 2 months ago, you will loose 2 months worth of data.

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.
