Trouble syncing photos on iphone 4s to macbook pro

My photos were syncing fine until I upgraded to snow leopard on my macbook.  now when I plug my iphone 4s in the photos do not sync.  when going into the iphone tab for photos, the only choice I have is to transfer photos from my macbook to my iphone, but i want it the other way around--iphone pics taken to macbook.
anyone had this problem and what did you do?  Thanks!

This has been the same since day one which did not change with Snow Leopard.
iTunes handles the transfer of photos from your computer to your iPhone. iTunes does not handle the import of photos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card and for photo storage and management on your Mac, you can use iPhoto for this. You can have iPhoto launch automatically when a digital camera is connected to your Mac including with the iPhone is connected when there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, but there is no automatic import option with iPhoto.

    How to transfer photos from iPhone 4s to MacBook Pro? The sync is not working. The software is upto date on both the phone as well as on the laptop. The 4s uses ios6 and laptop is Snow Lion (latest version).
    Please advise.

    Are you attempting to do this with iTunes? What you ask is a job for iPhoto. Did you try to import the photos to iPhoto?

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

    Can it be possible to transfer photos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or apps from the app store?

    You may want to take a look at DropBox instead. Details here:

    Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

    You don't. Subscribed calendars do not sync.
    Just subscribe to the same US Holiday calendar in iCal on your Mac.
    Subscribed calendars also not show at iCloud.com.

  • Gmail is not syncing on my iPhone 6 or macbook pro

    Gmail is not "loading" or "syncing" on my iPhone 6 or macbook pro
    I can access gmail through safari and I receive email from my other email accounts (that are not gmail)
    Internet connection is good
    I have reset, rebooted, deleted, the gmail account from both the macbook pro and iPhone, then added them back I've also reset the gmail password several times.
    Suggestions?

    I tried a few times like most of the users on this post without any luck syncing Iphone 6 IOS 8.1.2 with an old exchange server 2003 but now I sync EVERYTHING without any problems, and this steps are for my friends in the airport IT group (They know who they are, I appreciate their help always).
    BE SURE THAT EXCHANGE HAS IMAP4 up and running.
    The steps to configure:
    1. Delete any exchange account configured previously.
    2. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts and Calendar>Add Account>Exchange and add [email protected] and Password then Next.
    At first It wont find anything and goes to next screen where asks for
    3. Server: mail.domain.com, Leave domain is optional, Your User: user, Your Password: password. *****Then It says impossible to verify account***** but now you have the SAVE option. Touch on SAVE.
    4. ON on everything you want to SYNC and touch SAVE again.
    5. It says account added but now you have to reconfigure. NOW it appears the name EXCHANGE on Account inside Settings>Mail,Contacts and Calendar
    6. Touch on it and on the Exchange menu touch on Account>Advanced Settings> Here TURN OFF SSL. Then return back to ACCOUNT and OK. You are supposed to see the check marks on all boxes the Voilá Exchange is UP. If not RESTART your iphone. Tricky but it worked for me, hope work for you guys.

  • Syncing emails across iPhone, iPad and macbook pro

    Can you sync emails across iphone, ipad and macbook pro, so if you delete from one it deletes on all?  If you write an email on one it shows up on all?  If you store something in a folder or flad something it shows up on all?
    Thanks

    Syncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

  • The lastest iTunes upgrade broke my wireless syncing between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro

    iTunes was actually working before the latest update. Now I cannot wirelessly sync my phone to either my MacBook Pro or my PC.

    Hi, AppleJR.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to sync via Wi-Fi after updating iTunes. I would start with going through the troubleshooting steps outlined below. 
    Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
    Quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.Restart your network router
    Restart your home network router using the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds or more.
    Note: During this time, Internet services, such as a VoIP-based phone, won't work, and you may need to reset additional network devices.Check your network connection
    Make sure that your Wi-Fi network has an active Internet connection.
    Make sure that you connect your iOS devices and computer to the same network over Wi-Fi.
    Check for network configuration changes that may interfere with syncing:
    VPN configurations
    Extending the Wi-Fi network through multiple wireless access points or routers
    Guest networks or other security configurations that limit access between devices
    Routers that configure different networks for different frequencies such as 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
    Connecting the computer over Ethernet
    Wake up your computer and open iTunes. If your computer is asleep or iTunes isn't open, the device may not sync.
    Update your router. If you're using an AirPort or AirPort Time Capsule, you can learn more about firmware updates. If you're using a router from another manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ask about available updates.
    Check for network interference
    If you see performance issues when you sync over Wi-Fi, something may be causing wireless interference:
    Microwave ovens
    Cordless phones
    Physical barriers, such as metal walls or distance between your computer, base station, and iOS device
    Try the following to reduce network interference:
    Move your iOS device and computer closer to the Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove your iOS device from any case, stand, or attachment.
    Open Safari and try to load a webpage.
    Check firewall settings
    If you enabled a firewall on your router or computer, make sure that your computer and iOS device can communicate.
    Follow these steps to use the built-in firewall option with iTunes on your Mac.
    For third-party firewalls and security software, see the developer or manufacturer for assistance.
    Mac computers use port 123 to set the date and time automatically. Incorrect date and time on a computer or iOS device can cause connection issues. If you don't know if your router has a firewall or if the required ports are open, follow these steps:
    Enable Wi-Fi syncing for additional iOS devices on your network to see if they have the same issue. (See the previous steps to enable Wi-Fi syncing for additional devices.)
    Test your device on a different network. If the device works on another network, the issue may be your router or network configuration. Contact your router manufacturer or Internet service provider for additional troubleshooting.
    If you use another security or firewall software on your computer or router, you can troubleshoot security software issues, contact the manufacturer, or check the documentation to learn how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.

  • Having trouble with syncing calendars between iPhone 5s, iPad, MacBook Pro after changing apple id

    I signed out of an old apple id on my iPhone 5s and signed in with a current apple id.  Backed up my iPhone to the cloud.  After this, I lost the calendar information on my MacBook Pro (Phone and MacBook Pro used to have calendars that were synced).  I also signed in to an iPad with this current apple id.  I have checked the apple id that I am signed into on all 3 devices (iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro, iPad 2) and it is the same on all 3.  The phone has my calendar info.  The MacBook Pro and the iPad are blank, but they do communicate because I can send a test appointment and it will show up on the MacBook Pro and the iPad but not the phone.
    Contacts were not affected.  I have the contacts on all three devices. 
    I have gone thru most of the troubleshooting on the apple website.
    Help!

    I just tried and it says that it's not available But I do not have another Apple ID. "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." The only thing I did that started this nightmare was go into Apple ID and click edit for email and enter the new one. That's it. 
    Because your old AppleID is used used an you alternate email.
    Remove it as your alternate email.

  • I want to transfer my photos from iPhone to my macbook pro as I have done many times before but I pressed (don't trust instead of trust) accidentally and now can't access the photos at all on the computer.

    My phone is an iPhone 4
    computer is a macbook pro OS X 10.8.5
    When I plugged in the phone it asked me to unlock the phone with my password which I did.
    Then it asked if I trust the device and I accidentally pressed don't trust. On the computer ( iPhoto) it told me there were no photos on the phone)
    I tried unmounting the phone and retrying but get 0 photos now when there are many new ones.

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • ICal not syncing from existing iPhone to new macbook pro hard drive

    Hi everyone,
    Can anyone help? I have just had the Hard drive on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009) replaced and I have then restored all previous hard drive content and settings from my time machine. Everything transferred across with no problem except that when I came to sync my iPhone with my computer, everything else will sync except for iCal.
    iCal on my computer currently has the same calenders but with nothing in them. I want to be able to sync my iPhone calenders with my Macbook calenders so that the information gets transferred accross to my Macbook.
    I have tried adjusting the sync settings in itunes and I have tried backing up and restoring my iphone to see if I could force the computer into recognising my iPhone ical files but to no avail. I am now stuck and could really do with some advice.....
    Thanks
    SiBB

    Connect to the MacBook. It will ask you if you want to sync with the MacBook. It should then ask if you want to save what is on the iPad. Tell it yes, and it should do so. You should have your iPad apps backed up anyway, but I am pretty sure that you do not lose anything by transferring to another machine. The iPad does not care if it was a Mac or PC that it is synced with, it is not in either format. You do need to go and authorize your Macbook on your iTunes account.
    Besides there is a step by step instruction on [How to transfer or sync iPad contents to Mac|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/Howto_transfer_or_sync_iPad_contents_toMac].
    Hope it can do you a favor.

  • Syncing Notes between Iphone 3GS and Macbook Pro

    I've read all the forums I can about this, but can't seem to find the answer.
    I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
    However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
    I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    This forum is really for the MacBook Pro hardware, not for iPhone issues. I think the best place to ask this question is here:

    The issue is with configuring your iPhone. I personally gave up trying to make it work.
