Random photos missing when I sync iPhone to MacBook Pro

I have had this issue for at least the last few months: when I sync my iPhone 5 with my MacBook Pro in order to import all the photos I have recently taken on my phone into iPhoto, only a portion of the photos I have recently taken are available to import.
Right now I have 160 new photos on my camera roll. When I plugged it in 20 mins ago, iPhoto offers me to 'import 45 photos'. I unplugged it and plugged it in again. Now it's only asking if I want to import 21 photos. I've tried turning it off and on again.
All photos appear in my photo stream, but only a portion will import as a new event. It's very boring because I don't want to have to go through photo stream to find my photos, I'd much prefer them to come through as events that I can now sort.
I am using iPhoto version 9.6, and my iPhone 5 is on version 8.1.3
I cannot find a solution to this on the internet, I'm really hoping someone out there can help!

The first test indicates that the original library is the culprit and needs to be repaired. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
Redo the second test and see if you can upload all photos to a folder on then Desktop first.  If that's successful you can import them into the library.  iPhoto should detect any duplicates
and prevent their import.

  • Getting photos to iPad 1 and iPhone from macbook pro with icloud.

    Icloud seems fine - except my photos are not showing up on IPad 1 or iPhone.  Macbook pro is running Lion 10.7.2 and the other two devices have iOS 5.0.1.  I've checked all three have photos switched 'on' for icloud.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Its sunny here in Whitstable today!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you added any photos to Photostream on your macbook pro.

  • ITunes keeps taking new songs off my iPhone 4s when wirelessly synced with my MacBook Pro. How do I stop this??

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and whenever my phone is close enought to my computer to wirelessly sync, it takes all my new songs I just added within the last week off my iPhone and I have to connect it with the cord and sync it to get it all back. Why does it do this? I'm getting very annoyed at having to do this multiple times a day just to keep the new stuff I added on my phone..

  • Not able to sync iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro

    I have followed all the inforamtion that Apple has to do with syncing the ipad, iphone, Macbook Pro, but they don't seem to read each other by wi-fi. All of them work just fine on their own but not together. The ipad does sync somethings such as contacts, email etc. with my iphone but I cannot get them to share photos or videos I have taken.
    I have iphone 4s using the current OS updated
    I have iPad 2 using the current updated OS
    I have a Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 OS 10.9 Maverick all been updated
    I have enabled photo stream on all. Any ideas what may be wrong?
    Thanks- Todd

    All devices are on wifi and it has been several days since I took the photos/videos I want to share. I have done everything the way Apple says but the photos/videos are not sharing. I'm guessing I overlooked something... Not sure what.

  • Sync iPhone to MacBook Pro

    I recently bought an iPhone 5s and have been trying to sync it via bluetooth to my MacBook Pro but it refuses to do so..  My mac is running OS 10.6.8 and I suspect that is why I can't connect with the new iPhone that runs a newer OS.  Can you advise?

  • Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

    HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
    now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
    I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
    Please Help!

    You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
    I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

  • Updates all the photos (cameraroll) in iCloud or is it just photo stream when you sync? I have 5000 photos in the camera but only 800 in the stream and I would like to save them all. How to do?

    Plug your iPhone into your Mac and open iPhoto. Transfer the photos from the phone to your Mac.

  • I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

    Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
    I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
    Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
    Simplified version:
    -Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
    -When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
    -I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
    Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

    Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

    When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist?  IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists.  In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs.  In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.

    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
    If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
    You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order.
