Transferring Photos from iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

IPhone is not visible in iPhoto so I am not able to transfer my iPhone pics to iPhoto.
It used to work fine until 3-4 weeks ago!
Can anyone help me resolve this
I have reinstalled iTunes and iPhoto and Rebooted my MacBook Pro 15''

I was having a pretty serious problem that started when I upgraded to iPhone 3.1. While iTunes recognized my iPhone, iPhoto didn't.
And if I opened iPhoto, I couldn't see the camera. Same with Image Capture - it said no device detected. I know there was no problem in 3.0.
Luckily, there are other ways to get the photos off the iPhone, and luckily iTunes recognizes the phone, but that of course is not the point.
Good news is that I believe I found the fix. Click through and I'll see if I can explain it.
For some reason, it has to do with photos saved to the camera roll that were not shot with the iPhone. In other words, photos saved from email or screenshots. I have no idea why that would be, but once I deleted the non-shot photos, iPhoto launched normally and all was right with the world.
The problem is mentioned several times in the Apple support forums and everyone with it is running iPhone 3.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Restoring the iPhone, rebooting and repairing permissions from the Snow Leopard disc has no effect. The only fix I've found is my weird one.
Anyone else seeing this problem? Anyone find a different fix? Please let me know in the comments or interact with me on Twitter or Facebook.
Thanks and thanks for calling.

  • Problems transferring photos from iphone to mac, iphoto says there is nothing to download...

    Hi, I need to transfer photos from iphone to mac. My mac can 'see' my iphone with iphoto open, but the box says there are no photos to download. Could anyone help me please? This has never been a problem before (it was fine about 2 weeks ago). I've tried turning both devices off and have spent a couple of hours trying to search for this problem on the internet. I can't remember when I updated to OS 7.1 but I guess that was recently; could this be the problem? Thank you so much.

    This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1
    Is your phone unlock when it is connected to your Mac?

    If there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone should also be detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, which means being detected by iPhoto or the Image Capture application for importing the photos.
    Since the iPhone does not support disk mode, it won't appear on your Desktop or via the Finder as a connected external drive.
    Does your iPhone's Camera Roll include any photos that were saved from a received email, from a website, or from an MMS?
    If so, this has been reported to cause problems for some with the iPhone being recognized as a digital camera. I haven't experienced the same, so I don't know what triggers this specifically.
    If your iPhone's Camera Roll includes such photos that you want to save, email these photos to yourself followed by saving the photos from the received email on your Mac. After emailing these photos, delete these photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • Transferring photos from IPhone to PC

    I am attempting to transfer photos from my IPhone to my PC and am having difficulties with pictures that I uploaded to the phone. All of the pics that were in my "Camera Roll" file transferred with no problems. However, the photos that are in two other "albums" will not transfer. My photo software does not recognize the existence of the other albums and therefore will not transfer the photos. I have tried emailing the photos and that doesn't work either. There are some photos on the phone that I don't have anywhere else (due to a computer crash some months ago) and I really want to be able to download them to my computer. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi i wonder if anyone is experiencing the same problems i am having transfereing photos from the 3Gs to a PC. I have plugged the cable in via the usb and the scanner and camera wizard pops up (sometimes), but when you open the advanced user tab there are no photos showing in the window. I have been on to Apple and they have no idea at precent why this is. My mate also has the same problem on a MAC and a PC running XP. The photos are there but i can get them off my phone to a file. ITunes picks up the phone no problem??????

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

  • How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

    How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

    Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
    If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

  • Reverse syncing from iPhone 3GS to iPhoto?

    I sync my iPhone to my MacBook with iPhoto 2009. I have no problems.
    Now the Mrs. wants to sync her iPhone 3GS to my MacBook.
    Here's my question:
    She already has a bunch of photo albums and video albums on her iPhone. They are NOT in the cameral roll, but are in various albums under "Photos" from when we synced her iPhone on her POS Windows Craptastic laptop.
    When I go to sync her phone to iPhoto 2009 via the MacBook's iTunes, a message comes up warning that syncing would delete the photos on her iPhone and replace them with photos from iPhoto.
    I want to keep the photos she has on her iPhone, preferably syncing them across into iPhoto on the MacBook. I'm afraid that if I sync her phone and photos to the MacBook, I will lose forever that which is already on her iPhone.
    Any ideas please?

    The sync process for photos from your computer to your iPhone is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported (the original resolution is reduced), which should remain on the computer used for transferring the photos from. Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    The iPhone does not support disk mode. It can't be used as an external flash drive for transferring data from one computer to another.
    Your Mrs. needs to transfer the photos from her PC to your Mac importing the photos into iPhoto. This can be done with an external hard drive or with a USB Flash drive or pen.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 3G to iPhoto

    I inherited an iPhone 3G from my son.  By inheriting, I mean he gave me the phone without an instruction manual on basic operation, plus with the iPhone 4GS now the craze, finding information about the 3G is pretty scarce.  What is the easiest way to transfer photos on the 3G to iphoto.  I have an iPod (80GB color display), which I sync my music files to by syncing it to my desktop.  Is transferring photos from the 3G toiPhoto done in the same way?

    Here's how to: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If you have a Mac
    You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
    Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
    Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
    Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
    When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.

  • How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

    iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

    As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
    you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
    Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
    BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will  disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.
