Still having troubles transferring fotos from droid to iMac Intel

I have an LG Optimus Elite Android phone (version 2.3.7) and in the past, have been able to hook it up to my iMac Desktop and transfer the phone's photos to the iPhoto on my Mac.
Occasionally I've encountered troubles, but somehow I've always gotten it to work--thanks to advice I've received here.   In the past few days, however, it has not worked.
I've done all the things that have been suggested in the past--check Mass Storage, check USB debugging, etc.   But I still cannot get the Android icon to appear on my desktop.
When things go according to plan, it looks like this:  1) I hook my Droid to my Mac; 2) the Droid icon appears on my desktop; and 3) iPhoto automatically opens and begins downloading all the photos from the phone.  But after I do 1 now, neither 2 nor 3 happen.
Can anyone help?  Thanks!

I figured it out.

  • Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.

    Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software.  Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file.  So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes)  I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
    My original post is as follows:
    Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
    I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony? 

    Auto Correct:
    As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
    CDDB Update:
    Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
    Music Deletion:
    iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
    Library Update:
    This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
    It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
    The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
    WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
    ...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

    I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

    Make sure your device iOS is updated:

  • Having trouble transferring music from old PowerBook to new iMac

    I'm having trouble transferring my iTunes music from my old PowerBook to my new iMac.  Trying to follow the online instructions by using an external hard drive to transfer from one to another.

    Hi Skingz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is the external hard drive that you are working with formatted for Mac OS Extended Journaled?   Is there enough space on it?  
    The process is the same regardless of the operating system you are using:
    OS X Mountain Lion: View information about your disk
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11086
    Formatting erases the contents of the external drive so be cautious.  Also this process is for any application, not just Aperture:
    Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3509
    Try the steps in the article again.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    If you are still not able to copy the library to your new computer this way, then the alternative approach would be to copy the music folder from your old computer to the external drive, and then add the music folder to your new, empty iTunes library on the iMac.   You'll have to recreate your playlists, etc, but at least you will have the music.

  • Having troubles transferring photos from my Iphone 4s to my computer

    I can't transfer photos/videos from my iphone 4s to my computer since the computer won't recognize the phone as I plug it in. I tried to install new drivers but only tells me that all my drivers are up to date. I cant recall having this problem until I switched to Windows 7. I also tried reading these forums and others for a solution but I have this far been unable to find one. Is there anyone else out there having this problem?
    I also seem to have exactly the same problem with transferring photos from my digital camera.

    Hello there Philipfromswe.!     Philipfromswe
    Thanks for replying to my question! You mentioned that it might be a problem with my computer, what do you mean by that? Is it the hardware, i.e loose cables and such or is it the software that you refering to?
    Great suggestion that I should use Dropbox to transfer my pictures. I already have Dropbox and I have used it to make copies. The problem is that I find the app troublesome to use and I much rather prefer that I can acess the photos as I did before.
    I will continue to try to find an solution to my connectivity problems but I appreaciate your advice!

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • Trouble transferring photos from PC to iMac with OS Lion

    The Apple store transferred my photos from my PC (with Vista OS) to my new iMac (with OS Lion), but the transfer wasn't successful.  Apple care is trying to help, but thousands of my PC photos are not showing up in iPhoto.  I have never used a Mac before.  So everything is new to me.

    Welcome to the Mac platform.  If they transferred all the photos were you able to see them in iPhoto at the Apple store?  You can migrate your data from you PC by following the information on this link, http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/  Also after you get that problem solved take a look at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/

  • Trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes.

    I'm having trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes. My computer is authorized, but I get - Some of the purchased items on the (user name) ipad could not be transfered to your itunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.

    If those apps were purchased with a different Apple ID and iTunes account that would be a reason why you get that message.

  • I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

    I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

    The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

    Was the content purchased from iTunes?  If not, it will not transfer.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:

    Were all those apps purchased using the same Apple ID and password you are using on your iPhone 5?  Is that the same Apple ID and password you used on your iPhone 4?  Is it the same that you use in iTunes on your computer?
