My iphone 5 is not recognized by iphoto or image capture

How do you import photos from Iphone 5 camera roll to iphoto?

There is no list of supported cameras for JPEG - RAW support is here - OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
If any device shoots JPEG and looks like a standard camera on the USB bus then it is supported - some devices need special settings to look "right" - for example My Sony DLSR has several USB modes and only one works with iPhoto - read the camera manual or contact their support for information on settings that may be needed
If it has a removable memory card then use a card reader
It may be a simple as getting the photos off the card and then having the camera reformat the card (again read the camera manual or contact their support for info on how to use the camera)

Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

IPhoto and Image Capture does not see the iPhone as a camera

Whether I launch iPhoto or Image Capture, in both cases the iPhone is not recognized as a camera. I am running firmware 1.1.1. I am afraid up upgrade to 1.1.3 because I do not want to lose my pictures. This was working at one point, but now it is not. I have no problems syncing music and video content within iTunes. I recently used migration assistant to move my home folder to my new Mac Pro running leopard. I am not sure if this is when it stopped working. I also tried using the Tiger machine at work, but the same thing happens there as well in both apps. Is there anything anyone can suggest?

This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
"Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
The file in question is under your user folder.
I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

Iphone 5 not recognized on macbook

It does not show up in iTunes, finder, iphoto or image capture. The iPhone beeps when it's plugged in to the macbook (like it does when the charger is plugged in).
I tried restarting the phone, restarting the macbook, both USB ports. I don't sync it frequently, but I have sync'ed in numerous times before. It just stopped being recognized.

IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

Hello all,
I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
Thanks
Gina

Pictures not recognized by iPhoto

I have just installed Lion and iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.
Now, when I import pictures they are not recognized by iPhoto. I can see them i Finder.
At first the import seems to work: The import function runs and the event is created. (The name of the event is typed in by me as normally before starting the import).
But when I open the event the pictures aren’t there. When I restart iPhoto the event has disappeared.
Can anyone help?

I have solved the problem my self
Press the Command and Option key. Launch iPhoto while holding the two keys. A dialog box comes up. Put a check mark in “Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions”.

HT201302 iphone is not recognized as an accessible device by your windows 7 or 8 pc?

Despite the fact that itunes has no problems accessing the iphone nor does a 3rd party paid app like "iExplorer", the iphone is not recognized as a device by Windows (7 and 8). The support bulletin referenced is inadequate.

Hi James,
I'll give you steps so it'll be easy to read.
I suggest having your phone plugged into a working USB during this process.
1. Open up your Device Manager (run/use command line devmgmt.msc or look for it by sliding open your charm bar located on the right of your computer screen, selecting PC Info, and then on the left hand side of your PC Info window, click "Device Manager"
2. Once you are in your device manager, look at the above tab (It should say File, Action, View, and Help) and Click View. Click "Show Hidden Devices"
3. Look for "Portable Devices", and click it. There should be something similar or exact to "Apple iPhone".
4. Right click it, and select "Update Driver Software..."
5. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
7. Click "Show All Drivers", then click "Next"
8. Click "Have Disk"
9. Type in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
10. Click "Browse", there should be a file that says "usbaapl64" RIGHT click it and click "Install"
11. From there it should install. Open iTunes to make sure.
Please let me know if my directions are not clear enough, it took me some time to figure out what I was doing myself. I wish you the best!

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If the problem remains, update to 10.6.8 and repeat.

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas?

Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

Hello!
I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

pb35:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.
