Transfer of photos from iPhone to iPhoto

When I connected my iphone to my computer to download photos on iphoto, all  most all the photos appeared as black in iphoto.  I had deleted them from the iphone before I realized this.  How could the photos have been perfect on my iphone and now just be black photos.  Are the good ones irretrievable?

Thanks so much for your help Gail, some of the points you made helped me better understand iPhoto and icloud.  I ended up going to a store and getting help at the genius bar.  They could not figure out what had happened so they had to restore my phone from the cloud to the day before the problem started.  I lost a few minor things from 3 days (texts, photos) but got most of my "lost" photos restored back to my phone.  I have not yet imported them to my computer (a little chicken!).  I also signed up for one to one classes so I am going to spend some time learning more about iPhoto so I can better control my photos.
BTW something kind of weird - They restored my phone on Tuesday and it still says it is being restored.  I am sure it should be done by now!  It is plugged in and on wifi every night so not sure why it hasn't finished the process.  The only reason I am even aware of this (cuz the phone seems to be working fine) is that it says I have a software update to do and when I go to that window it says at the bottom "you can install this update when your iphone is finished restoring from the icloud backup."  I have another appointment next week so I figure I will deal with it then.
Thanks again for your help.  I appreciate that there are people like you out there helping to calm people like me when we panic!

    Check the iPhoto preferences:
    From the main menu bar:  iPhoto > Preferences > General:
         "Connecting camera opens"  : Set this option to  "iPhoto".
    If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Backup photos from iphone to iphoto with face recognision

    I recently changed my harddisk on my macbook pro, fresh installed os x, updated to mountain lion.
    I know most ppl would say I can transfer my data from time-machine, which I could. But my previous disk was backedup from my old old mac, 5 years ago, there is a lot crap on it which I don't want, etc.
    Anyway. so I have the new system, and installed ilife. Then here is an issue:
    - you can import all your photos from iphone to iphoto without problem,
    - but all the face recognition and locations(for each album) defined on my iphone are't imported
    So my questions is: how?
    Also, it would be very handy if we can import apps from iphone to itunes? If you can, not sure how?

    I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
    If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
    You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
    Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
    I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
    That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

  • How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

    How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

    You need to clarify what you are asking.
    An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
    So when you say:
    I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac.  There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
    It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac.

  • Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

    has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

    How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
    And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
    Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help you.

  • Can't finish importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    I have about 2,000 pictures in my iPhone 4.
    When I try to import my photos from iPhone to iPhoto Library, it stops importing after about 250 photos. Keeps saying 1,489 remaining(something like that) photos and the picture image on your iPhoto stops or freeze there. (Normally you can see what's importing into your iPhoto)
    Tried rebooting the MacPro Tower and iPhone. My computer is up to date.
    I was not sure if I had corrupted photo images, so I deleted bunch of photos around where iPhoto would stall.
    I have no idea what's going on. Could someone please help me?
    Thanks,

    Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files to the Desktop and import from there.
    Regards

  • I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed restore instead of sync. Now it's deleted my latest photos taken a week ago. Is there a way to get back those photos via backup somehow?

    I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?

    Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
    My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
    Any thoughts on this?

    PS:
    i know there is the "Image Capture" app. but i like to do this with iPhoto, because i see there the already imported photos which i can delete safely from iphone.

    You'll need to create a new, temporary library and import into that with the option to delete from your iPhone. Then delete the library and go back to your current library.

    I have detele the iPhoto cache from user/library/caches/com.apple.iPhoto but it made no difference.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.
    Cheers

    I want transfer photos from Iphone to laptop. The windows doensn't recognize de iphone im "computer" but the itunes does. How could I transfer the photos from IPhone?

    It should appear as a camera/scanner device in My Computer, or you can associate a phot app on the computer with it. If it doesn't appear there is probably a corrupt image in the Camera Roll or the Camera Roll is empty. You cannot transfer photos from the Photo app (transfer is one way only, computer to iPhone), only from the Camera Roll.
