Trying to import photos from iphone 4s to macbook and message shows saying photo is unrecognisable format

For some reason, now when i try to import photos to Iphoto from my iphone 4s a message pops up saying the file is an unrecognisable format. Anybody know how to change this??
Help!

Is it for one photo or for all photos?
Try using Image Capture rather than iPhoto, hopefully that fixes things.

  • How to transfer photos from iphone 4s to MacBook Pro

    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?

  • Trouble downloading photos from iPhone to iMac.  Error message says I need to free up space on Startup Disc

    After clicking "Download," the iMac seems to download photos from iPhone.  Eventually, I get message that I need to free up space on Startup Disc by deleting files.  What to do?

    You are in a very dangerous situation and you need to fix it now.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • I get an error message when trying to import pictures from iphone to iphoto(Imac)

    I get an error message trying to import photos from phone to imac. have 266 photos to get on my computer. how can i get these pictures off iphone onto my imac.?

    Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
    And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

  • I'm trying to move pictures from my PC to IPad and the directions say to click the ipad name which is on the left but mine appears on the right. Is this important?  I'm having trouble getting clear directions on how to move photos to ipad.

    When I'm trying to sync photos from PC to Ipad the directions say to Launch I tunes  and an icon will appear on the left side. Mine appears on the right side. In general the directions for moving photos to Ipad from computer are vague.  Shoud I make a special folder on my PC for the pictures I want to move before I even start? How do I keep from losing pictures I synced the last time?

    If you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the left-hand side bar via control-S on a PC. You should then be able to connect and select the iPad on that left-hand sidebar, and then use the Photos tab on the right-hand side to sync your photos to it.
    Synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so if you want the currently synced photos to remain on the iPad then you will need to include their folders in the next sync. I created a separate folder on my computer with sub-folders underneath it with the photos that I want on the iPad - I can select that folder on the Photos tab in iTunes, and the sub-folders then get their own albums on the iPad (if you have folders underneath those sub-folders then their photos will be included in the sub-folder's album i.e. you can't have albums within albums).

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhone 3GS to MacBook?

    Please, I need help!!!
    How can I transfer all the pics I have on my iphone 3g s to my macbook?!?!??!?!?!

    You can import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll only.
    With a Mac, this can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process (which are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library) cannot be imported by your computer or transferred in the opposite direction. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.

  • Imported shots from iPhone  ... after moving not showing "Places"

    Hi,
    I imported shots from my iPhone and it showed the places initially but IO had to move the library file for it and now the images display but the places do not... what did I do wrong.. Did I miss some data files that would not be in the library package?

    Are you using a Managed or Referenced library? (It's Managed unless you changed the default settings.) If you imported the photos they will have been stored in the iPhoto package (inside the Pictures folder). You should not move or rename anything in this package using the Finder (iPhoto depends on the structure that it creates there).
    When a photo is imported iPhoto reads the geodata and locates the photo. iPhoto does not read the geodata at any other time.
    Using this background information can you tell us a bit more about what you did and we'll try to figure out a solution for you.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported on any iPhone. To do so wirelessly, you need an app like this:

  • I am unable to download photos from iPhone 4, SD card and SLR camera to iPad 2 using apple accessories. It worked once and then never again. Any ideas ?

    I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.

    Plumchunks-
    The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit.  The kit consists of two adapters.  One has an SD card socket.  The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
    I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer.  If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
    One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I am trying to sync my wifes iphone on her macbook and every time we do this it reverts to her old iphone and erases all photos, contacts, emails etc. I seem to get in trouble each time i do this. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to update my wifes iphone5 to her macbook. The macbook already has her old iphone4s information. I would like to set up a new id for her so that I can keep all of the information on her phone and get rid of the old stuff on her macbook now. Is there an easy way to do this now. I have an account on my laptop and dont sync with my macbook so it doesnt really matter to me with my iphone5, but i would like to start fresh with hers. It seems like every time I go to sync it i get a message that there is already an account under that user name. Can i keep the same user name and start fresh with what is on her 5.

    Dear Jody..jone5
    Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
    Goodluck
