Odd problem with iPhoto always seeing my iPhone as connected when not

I have started having a problem with iPhoto8. When it starts it always goes to the import photos screen and has a couple dozen icons (with no image) and filenames to import from my iPhone. The problem is my iPhone is not connected. It shows up as mounted on the left side of iPhoto. I can right click and unmount it and it goes away, but next time I restart iPhoto it is there again. If I try and click Import all it goes through the motions and asks to delete the originals, I select yes. Then it displays an error dialog with all the filenames listed saying they are corrupt or blank (which I would expect because my phone is not connected).
Does anyone know why it thinks my phone is connected when it is not or what to do?

Do you have wifi sync enabled for those devices?
Select the device, click the Summary tab.
If it is enabled, there's no need to eject the device, even with the cable plugged in.

Why does itunes always show my iphone as connected when it is not

When I plug in one of our Apple devices to sync to our home computer, etc., iTunes shows the device I want to sync, but it also always shows my iphone as plugged in too. (At the top where it says Devices). Not a big deal, but is there a way to remove this instead of always hitting the eject button?

What is the problem with IPhoto ´11 when I am uploading a photobook to apple store, there is always an error. Anyone ???

What is the problem with IPhoto ´11 when I am uploading a photobook to apple store, there is always an error. Anyone ???
evrything is right wite my appleID.

First try to create a pdf file of the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it.
If you are unsuccessful in creating the pdf file then boot into Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode and try again. If that works you can continue and order the book while in Safe Mode.
Be sure to keep the pdf file of the book to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

     Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
     Thnks!
     Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

Problems with iPhoto 11.1.4 after update

iPhoto automatically upgraded to 11.1.4 on February 1st, since when I have not been able to access my iPhoto libraries. I had upgraded to "Mavericks" from 10.6 in November 2013 and then installed the compatible version of Microsoft Office and have been using both Office and iPhoto since then, so I conclude that (a) it is not an old problem and (b) it is not a "cross-contamination" problem.
On starting iPhoto, the message appears that I do not have permission to access the library or that the disk is locked. Since I created the library under my user-id, I find it difficult to believe that I do not have permission, and I have checked (4 or more times) that the disk is not locked.
A further message then told me that I needed to use the 'library updater', which I downloaded and ran. I am still unable to access the library.
I have not "sync'd" my iPad nor my iPhone since then, as I am concerned that this could endanger the photographs downloaded from my MacBook.
Does anyone know of a problem with iPhoto 11.1.4 and older libraries which have been progressively updated (from pre-2009 through "Snow Leopard")?

The problem was not with the location - which had not changed - of the library but with the library itself.
I checked similar queries / issues and found an app "iPhoto Library Manager" which HAS solved the problem and, when I install the non-free version (which I have now purchased), it will help me remove the hundreds of duplicates & multiples which have infiltrated my library since about 2007!
Thank you for your response - it showed that someone cared!

Problems with iPhoto 7.1

Hope someone may help me with this. I just downloaded the iLife update and the new iPhoto 7.1 (and of course Gargeband etc.) and by opening iPhoto it does load the library, but then some menu functions do not work. Preferences does not open, the slideshow button does not work. It only shows the busy icon and I'll have to do a force stop. The message reads: 'iPhoto not reponding'. Before the update I never had problems with iPhoto.
Thanks! Edward from the Netherlands

Edward:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The slideshow button will work but it's very, very, very slow. Try again and let it sit for a while. It sometimes takes up to 30 seconds to open fully. It's the same with the Preferences. The latest update has made it slow to open the first time. After that it seemed to work OK for me. Be sure to post your problems at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports the better.
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. 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.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

A lot of problems with Oracle BI SEE 11g

I have a lot of problems with Oracle BI SEE 11g
1. I upgraded my BI SEE 10 repository and can it openning in offline mode.
2. I can't deploy my upgraded repository in EM MW Control 11g - when i try to open Farm_bifoundation_domain->Business Intelligence->coreapplication, i get error "Stream closed
For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beggining with: Server Exception during PPR, #41".
Opening Logs by EM control doesn't work too.
in file middleware\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\AdminServer\logs\AdminServer.log i see this event:

Have you any ideas?
3. Ok, i taking sample repository and adding a new datasource in it:
Database: Oracle 8i
Connection pool:
Call interface OCI 8i/9i
Data source name:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (Host = oraapp) (Port = 1521) ) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MYSID) ) )
This settings are working fine in BI 10.
In BI 11g i get this funny error: "The connection has failed". I lost my time in attempts to connect to Oracle DB 8, but have not results. After that i hacked button "Query DBMS" at "Features" tab, pressed it and when get error "ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported.".
Therefore Oracle 8 DB as datasource not supported. Am i right?
4. In sample repository i added oracle DB 10 as datasource, then added two dual tables and their connection to all layers.
Now i open BI Answers, and trying to create report with one dummy column, Now i have this error:
Error
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

Does anyone solve this problem?

Turribeach, Thanks for you time.
1. It was not a question
3. Yes, i have read platforms, but not supported datasources. Now i see, that BI 11g support as datasource Oracle DB 9.2.0.7 or higher. I am sorry.
4. I'm using OCI connection type
Now i recreate Database in Physical schema and answers is showing report data for me! But only from one table, when i use columns from to tables from one datasource, i geting error:

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Problem with iPhoto 9.3.2: Any assistance or how to re-install?

Hi all,
I've got a problem with iPhoto 9.3.2 whereby upon startup, I get a spinning wheel which goes on forever (I've left the computer alone for 5 hrs and coming back, it's still spinning). Symptoms are it pulls up the Library with Events, Photos, Faces, even Albums. But I don't actually get any photos displayed on the right.
I've tried :-
1) reinstalling Mountain Lion
2) using Disk Utility Repair Permissions
3) Rebuilding thumbnails & library
4) Creating new library
5) starting up under a new user account (therefore not a problem with a config file in my homedir)
6) Starting iPhoto up in Safe Mode
Note during the spinning wheel, I can access the menu as such I can quit, import photos, etc.
It actually works (worked) under the following conditions :-
a) Until 31st July iPhoto 9.3.2 was working fine. I cannot remember what I did/installed/uninstalled/changed/deleted to cause it to have problems
b) I can get access to the very same library with Aperture with no problems at all (i.e. no library issues)
c) Photos will only display if I import a picture. Then all Events will appear. I can get into each event, I can even select the photo I imported and delete it. This is my current workaround to accessing photos in iPhoto. However I cannot switch to any of the albums I created. It will only display Events. Clicking on Photos, Faces, Places, and any of the Recent doesn't do anything.
So finally now is to try to re-install iPhoto 9.3.2. Can any one please let me know how I can do this? I've tried Option-Click on Purchases tab in the App Store but I get a greyed out INSTALLED in iPhoto. Similarly I found a link that provided the iPhoto9.3.2Update.dmg but in attempting to installing that, it tells me it can only be done via the App Store.
Any advice?
Cheers

@putnik, yes I believe the update came from that site.
@mende1, perfect! That was easy! I thought I had to clean out plist files from my home directory, etc. Upon deletion and reinstallation, iPhoto started working again!
Thank you so much!

Problem with iPhoto 7 import

Hi,
I find a big problem with iPhoto 7 and import !
I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
It is only in iPhoto.
If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...
Have you a solution?
Regards,

all my photos are in jpeg in high resolution
It is very important because if we want to produce an album we must send a high resolution, but they are only 1mo to 2mo by photo not 35mo...
iPhoto not import grayscale? ...
I you produce in RGB photos are biggers...
It is really a bad news
The problem I have some colors photos with this bug...
