Problem importing pictures from my Iphone 4s to Iphoto on my IMac

usually when I plug my Iphone 4S into my IMAC, Iphoto pops up and I can then import all of my photos with the option of deleting off my phone afterwards. But the past two days when I plug my phone in, it wont open iphoto automatically or upload my pics due to a problem uploading an image? also when I maunally open Iphoto I can click on the my iphone folder but instead of seeing pictures, all I can see are grey squares that represent my pics and videos...
please help!!!

Does Image Capture see your iPhone Photos correctly? Try, if you can import them using Image Capture.
If not, you will need to troubleshoot your iPhone.

What kind of media do you have in your camea roll? Only jpegs, or also raw images or videos that might be complicating matters?

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

HT201302 When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?

It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

Cant import photos from my iphone 4 to iphoto (8.1.2)

i can no longer import photos from my iphone 4 to iphoto (8.1.2). it freezes on "preparing to import" each time. Any suggestions?

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

IPhoto crashes when I attempt to import pictures from my iPhone

When I try to import photos from my iPhone, iPhoto crashes. It just freezes. I'm not sure what to do.

Because there's something wrong with the main library?
If there are a lot of videos then it might well take tim, as videos are larger files.
Back to the original library:
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 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. .

I just imported photos from my iPhone 4 and iPhoto crashed while finishing import and those photos are gone from my phone and computer

I just tried to import photos form my iPhone 4 to iPhoto...it seemed to get all the way to the end and then iPhoto wasn't responding in the
"finishing import" stage. I had already chosen (for the first time ever because I didn't trust it) to delete the photos from my phone. I seems to have imported some (though I can't find them) and deleted them from my iphone...so the import wasn't complete but there are photos missing from both my comp
and the phone. CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND THEM? I restarted my computer and then launched iPhoto holding down command and option buttons and chose to "rebuild library from automatic backup". I still can't find them.
help?

hi rosanne,
may i know where to find the modified folder? i have the same problem, unbelievable!
Thanks!

Please help! Problems importing pictures from iphoto

I'm making a slideshow of pictures of my family with iMovieHD. Everything was working great and I have about 7 minutes of video. I tried to import another picture from the media/photos area and now the photo shows up as horizontal lines of various colours. (Similar to the way a tv looks when not tuned into a channel properly). I tried importing the picture as a clip, and the same thing happened. This happens with ANY photo I try to add to the timeline now. I've restarted my computer and updated the software. Have I used up too much memory?

Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I tried following the instructions by inserting a still clip at the beginning of my movie. Unfortunately, the Kenburns clip that I want to insert still shows up as horizontal moving colour lines. I noticed that the article you suggested was geared towards iMovie 4 (not HD) and said the problem had vertical black and white lines (not coloured horizontal). I tried reimporting the picture, but the same problem still occurs. Any new picture that I want to insert into the timeline does this! What's wrong with my computer?

HT1766 I cannot import pictures from my Iphone to my mac

I am trying to import pictures of my daughter from my phone to my mac and i cannot get it to work. I am using image capture and when i try to import them it says "Import error. Error occured while importing". Could this be because they are jpeg files?

I cannot even use this web site, so whoever gets this question please help. I do not get a message asking me if I trust the site all I get is Photos in the Camera Roll of "Kennedy’s iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. I've tried re-booting. Please help. Thank you.

Problem importing pictures from camera with Elements Organizer

I am using Elements Organizer from Photoshop Elements 9 (Mac OS 10.6.8). Recently, the files imported from my camera are being stored on my hard drive with the permissions set so that only the owner of the files can read them. Previously, anyone could read them. I must have accidentally changed something in Elements Organizer.
How do I set things back to how they were so that everyone can read the files imported from the camera? Is there a way to reset the default settings for Elements Organizer?
I can get around this by setting the permissions for the folder of pictures from the Terminal window, but this requires that I remember to do so after each import.
Java Jay

You can use the app PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer while maintaining your folder structure.

How do you import pictures from an iPhone to a Mac?

I know you can import using iPhoto but I do not care for the applications one file approach. Meaning, importing via iPhoto just adds them to the overall library file, not individually where they can be easily moved around.
Typically, when I only had a PC, I just connected my iPhone and copied them straight from the device.
On the same note, is there a way to expand the iPhoto library to more than just one file? I would prefer no file at all, just a collection of individual pictures in my pictures folder. I know there is a way to keep your existing files in tact but it seems to double up on the HD space since iPhoto still wants it's own copy.
If I am not understanding the way iPhoto works or can be manipulated, please let me know. I am new to the application and Macs in general. I am coming from a PC mind set and still use them consistantly, moving files between computers on our home network.

Ah, I did not know about that application. Like I said, I am new to Macs. That's basically what I am looking for.
Am I correct that there is no way to have iPhoto maintain individual files when importing?
