Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

My iPhone 4s is super slow to import photos into iPhoto???

As said in the title my iphone is extremely slow to import photos to iphoto and keeps importing the same photos even though they are already in iPhoto??? Whats going on?? Anyone know a fix to this??

I would expect nothing less. even importing videos from my standards camera takes a while...thats not the issue here.
importing 50 Photos can take 10 minutes with the iPhone. Meanwhile the same number of photos from a standard camera would take less than a minute.
Its either a problem with the iphone and slow transfer through the dock connector, or somethings up with how iPhoto imports from the iPhone.

Unable to import photos from iPhoto to Nano

Hi,
I'm trying to import some albums to my Nano but get a message saying iTunes will import my entire music library to my iPod before it will import photos -- this in spite of selecting manual update in the preferences.
This is a problem because my music library is about five times larger than the space available on my Nano.
Does anyone know a way to override the import entire library designation????
Thanks in advance.

You could try using the update option "automatically update selected playlists only". This allows you to create a playlist specifically for your iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used again. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your Nano (around 1800MB for a 2G). You can read more about playlists at these links:

Can't upgrade iPhone 3GS to ios4

My wife and I purchased 3GS iPhones shortly before the 4G was released. We both have identical Panasonic Toughbooks, mine is running Vista, and hers is running WinXP. Neither one of us can update from 3.1 to the latest 4.2 os.
We both have the latest version of iTunes. We both get the same error message, which is:
"The network connection time out
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later".
I am a moderately advanced computer user, not a newbie, but don't have a lot of experience with Apple products.
There is nothing wrong with our network connections that I can tell.
When I attempt to download the update iTunes indicates that it is downloading for five minutes--I have a download meter on my PC that indicates during this time that for those five minutes I am downloading at a rate of more than 5MB. Itunes indicates the download is complete and then shows the message "Processing file". After a couple of minutes we get the message above.
I've read through the support documents on the Apple website and made sure that the appropriate ports are open.
We are past the 90 period and thus ineligible for free support from Apple.
The apple store tells us we can make an appointment with a tech who will upgrade the phones for us, but the phones will be wiped clean of all contacts, address books, apps etc.
They assure us that once we sync up again to iTunes, all these things will be restored.
I have also read on some online forums that this upgrade may cause adverse reactions to my 3GS phone, such as slowing it down considerably.
Am I being unduly concerned about upgrading? Perhaps I would be better off leaving the phone as is with the older OS?
Any help is appreciated----AARGH!

Well I spoke too soon.
The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
+"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
+"Cannot Get Mail+
+THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.

After upgrade, unable to import photos to iPhoto

This message appears," This version of ilife software is not supported. ilife 08 or higher is required to sync pictures and video with iphoto." I have iphoto 11 so this shouldn't be a problem. I've been importing my video/photos for nearly a year with no problems.Thanks for your help.

Close iPhoto, open your iPhoto library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
Look inside the Auto Import folder for any files that might be there. If there are move them to the Desktop. Do not make any other changes. Launch iPhoto and see if the messages are gone.

Unable to import photos into iPhoto

Hi,
I just finished scanning/digitizing quite a number of color positive film (slide) images into JPEG and TIF files, and now I'm finding to my dismay that a great number of these files won't import into iPhoto. All of these photos show up as thumbnail images on my desktop, and they open fine in other programs like Photoshop. But while some photo files import just fine, some others of them generate an error message (..."may be an unknown format"... or something to this effect) when I try importing them, whether it be dragging and dropping into iPhoto, or importing via the "add to library" command. I have also tried duplicating them in Photoshop using the "save as" command, but upon importing I still get the same error message. It is not possible at this time to rescan any of these slides, and I am desperate to get the images into iPhoto. What can I do to get these images into iPhoto?
Frank G.

OK! I figured out the problem (file this under the category "Nobody warned me not to do this before, --and everyone probably already knows this but me.":
It turns out that all of the photos in question I was trying to import into iPhoto had a period (as in the punctuation mark) somewhere in the middle of the title of the file, as opposed to at the end of the file, followed by the letters denoting the type of file it was. For example: Grandma.Feb1952
Photoshop had no trouble opening these files in question. But it seems iPhoto called each of these photos "unreadable", because it interpreted every letter in the title of the file following the period to be part of the file name. Makes a whole lotta sense, --until it collides with my own presumption that because other programs like photoshop can handle a period within a document title, so could iPhoto. Anyway, as soon as I fixed the titles, I was able to drag them from their home folder on the desktop (even though their titles, along with all of the other titles scanned with that blasted ArcSoft PhotoStudio program I made the mistake of using, still weren't "illuminated") directly into the iPhoto library window and do a successful import.
So, to sum it up: wrong way to write a title when creating a photo file: grandma.feb1956 right: grandmafeb1956.tif also right: grandmafeb1956
By the way, your suggestion for copying and pasting the offending photos into new photoshop documents also worked, and illuminated each of the file names I did this for. But it took extra time to do each. I suppose I could make the process faster if I took the time to learn how to automate such a task. But that's another subject, for another forum.
Thanks so much for helping me figure out what was wrong here. Cheers!

How to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3

how to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3
I dont want to upgrade it to 4.0 yet.
Just up to 3.1.3 from 3.0.1
how can i do it.

That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4. You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=Downgrade+iPhone&objID=c201 &dateRange=last30days&userID=&numResults=30&rankBy=10001
This guide works for 3G but not 3GS, though there are some suggestions for 3GS users in there:

IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Klaus

I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

Upgrating from iPhone 3gs to ios4

Hey I am upgrating from iPhone 3gs to ios4 but I have noticed that the sim card are not the same . I am living in Lebanon middle east theirs isn t any micro sim card by the company but some friends told me that you can cut the old one to fit the ios4 is this true or theirs is another thing I have to do ?
Rami Saba

iOS4 is firmware update 4.0, which will be pre-installed on the iPhone 4 and will be available as a firmware update for the iPhone 3G and 3GS on 6/21.
The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card. I've seen some discussion about cutting a standard size SIM card down to the size of a micro-SIM card to be used with an iPad. If your carrier does not provide a micro-SIM card, they must not be an official carrier for the iPhone and if not, you have no other choice but to cut down a standard size SIM card to the size of a micro-SIM card.

I am unable to import photos from iPhone to Mac.

I am unable to import photos from iPhone to Mac. The most recently taken photos are not showing up on the screen ready to import as usual. Any thoughts as to why?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others. I have no idea what is that. I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
