Why is my iPhone not being recognized by iPhoto?

My wife and I have iPhone 4S. When we hooked up (via USB) our iPhones to the Mac, it used to launch iPhoto and we would then upload/delete those pictures. Now that we are doing this wirelessly, it does not automatically launch iPhoto. Only problem is that when we launch iPhoto, it recognizes my phone but not hers.
How to get this changed so she can upload her pictures?
Thanks,
Daniel

tried that: it only recognizes my phone. (this with her phone plugged into the computer, and my phone next to the computer).
This seems to be an iphoto issue: evry time we open iphoto, no matter who is trying to get their photos uploaded, it defaults to this page that asks if we want to upload MY photos from my phone. 48 photos. if you choose yes, it says there is an error, and that is where it goes back into this continuous loop... won't upload my photos, won't clear the errors. also tried to unhook my phone from iphoto - won't do it. we've tried rebooting as well.
just found out the other day my son tried to get his photos on the computer - same problem. it seems it's not so much that it won't recognize the other phones as it is that my phone is the ONLY phone it recognizes, and it seems to be stuck in this unbreakable loop of wanting to import these 48 photos...
any more ideas anyone?
thanks
Daniel

IPhone not being recognized (almost) by iTunes

Hi. I am trying to sync an iPhone (generation 2). When I connect it to my computer (Mac) I see the phone under the device list, but the iphone sync/tabs [summary, apps, etc] that are usually shown in the main window when a device is connected are not there. Instead, I see a generic grey "iPhone". This phone has been synced with this computer previously and the back-up files are still there under Device Preferences. The iPhone is being recognized by iPhoto, and the photos were successfully downloaded.
I also tried with my iPhone 3G, and that resulted is a successful sync, with all the expected tabs shown. So... I am guessing it is the iPhone 2. I also updated the itunes software a few days ago and I am thinking that the new version may not recognize the iOS 3.1.3 on the oler iPhone. If this is the case, how do I update the OS if I can't sync via my Mac?
Any advice would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks

Why why why is my password not being recognized, i JUST changed it yet again

Why is my password not being recognized? I've used the same password, successfuly for the past year. All of a sudden, it tell me my password is incorrect. So I change it. Write it down. Still not recognized. What is going on here? Thanks for ANY help.

Have you restarted your phone since resetting your password? I know it seems so simple, but it's just like when you update a computer and have to restart. It doesn't hurt to try

TS1567 iPhone not being recognized by Windows 8 or iTunes

My iPhone is not being recognized by my Windows 8 laptop, or itunes. I have used the original cable and a new one. Both cause the computer to ding when the phone connects, but i cant find the phone ANYWHERE. I have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Support Service. And restarted my laptop.

All needed drivers are installed when you install iTunes and QuickTime. Try to reinstall the Apple software again, as explained in this article:

IPhone not being recognized by iTunes

My iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes. I have iPhone original version with the latest software OS update. The phone was reset because of unrelated problems, and I need to connect to iTunes for it be operational! iTunes 9.1 on my computer... my iPad syncs with no problem but the iPhone is not even showing up as a device on the iMac or MacBook!
I have followed the steps on the Apple Support website, but the problem persists. What to do next?
thanks

Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.

Iphone not being recognized by Itunes so I cannot fix the songs with the red circles with squares in the middle

I have an Iphone 4s and i have two reocurring problems. So my first problem was after I had synced all my music most of the new songs and some old that never had a problem before had a red circle with a red square inside of it. I've gotten rid of it before but I dont even know how. I've read countless discussions and tried so many things that I dont even know what works. i figured it just fixed in time but there has to be an easier way that isnt so frustrating and annoying. So now my iphone isnt even being recognized. the apple mobile device is installed and running and has been stopped, started and restarted plenty of time. ive reset and restarted, reinstalled everything. my phone is charging, it just isnt being recognized by itunes or my pc. also in the device manager it isnt showing up. I am getting very close to smashing my iphone and switching to an android. everything is up to date and i also have tried to sync music on the first ipod touch that came out and even that isnt being recognized. I just want to get rid of the **** red circles and connect my iphone so i can sync it a million times in hopes that the red circles will just disappear. does anyone know why these red circles appear? Apple needs to get their stuff together and give us actual directions on how to fix this!!!! thank you for your help!!!

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Iphone not being recognized in i-tunes.

I plug my i-phone whith i-tunes running. Usually no problem and being recognized and synced. Over the past week, i-phone not recognized when I plug it in. what's happening ?
help

Same problem here, but Windows isnt even recognising the iphone. The iphone seems to be working perfectly and still charges when plugged in. I've reset it a few times in case that worked but no joy.
I updated itunes to v9.1.1.12 last night, but I don't think that is related as the iphone is also not appearing when plugged into my work laptop. Seems to suggest the problem's with the iphone.
Is this happening to anyone else, before or after ths update??

IPhone not being recognized by iTunes anymore

Howdy,
Like the subject line says. It use to auto recognize so I can sync, though the last time I synced was back in Dec 2007. But now it doesn't even recognize the device at all. itunes won't list it on the left hand menu, so I can't sync.
Not sure if it's the latest update to iTunes 7.6.1.9 that caused it.
Tried:
Swapping different USB ports. It only recognizes that there is a camera device attached.
Tried uninstalling the latest update and running an older version of iTunes I downloaded last Oct. But the old version won't start up because the library has already been updated to newer version.
Did a hard shutdown of my iPhone, and that doesn't work.
Tried charging iPhone to max and that didn't work.
Basically, nothing is working.
Any ideas? Not sure if it's the device or my computer, and I can't seem to find any way to reach customer support on this website... it's like a maze.
I'm using Windows XP. I'm about to pull my hair out!

Hello
Posted below is some troubleshooting that may possibly assist you today. Please be aware I am also posting what may have been done already. You can skip past this if needed. Simply posting it for others as well. If you have any other questions feel free to post back.
1. Go to Add/Remove Programs, Located in the control panel. And check and see if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is listed. It is usually located right above "Apple Software Update"
If it is not there. Then this is the reason iPhone stopped showing up. Please follow the next step below to possibly resolve this.
1 A - Uninstall the following programs in the following order if possible. Then reinstall iTunes 7.1.6.9 for Windows
* Remove Apple Mobile Device Support
* Remove Apple Software Update
* Remove Bonjour
* Remove any iPod Updater Programs
* Remove Quicktime
* Remove iTunes
-Reboot the computer, Then download and install iTunes 7.1.6.9
Once you have installed, Connect the iPhone, Wait and see if it shows up in iTunes. If it does not proceed below.
2. Go to Start- Run- type services.msc and press ok. The services window will launch.
Do you see Apple Mobile Device in the list? If so the Status should be started. If it is anything else please post back what it is.
You can usually right click on Apple Mobile Device, And tell it to start service if it was some how stopped. Once you start it and it stays started, Reconnect iPhone and see what happens.
If for some reason the service auto stops, This is sometimes caused by Security Software. Please disable or uninstall this software for testing, And see if it allows the service to be started.
If for some reason Apple Mobile Device says it is disabled. Then do the following
2 A - Right click on Apple Mobile Device, Select Properties, Look for Startup Type, Switch it to Automatic, and Apply settings, Then Start the service and press ok, Now test iPhone
3. Please test all USB Ports and see if any of them resolve iPhone not showing in iTunes, Also if possible connect iPhone to another PC to ensure it is not the iPhone itself. This will isolate it to something on the PC or iPhone
If possible disconnect any un-needed USB Devices.
If needed follow this article as well

A Solution for freeze at Connect to iTunes & iPhone not being recognized:-)

Had a nightmare last night whilst updating my 3GS to IOS 4 on a vista PC, really thought I'd broken my phone, which refused to talk to iTunes or reboot. It just constantly displayed a USB plug with Connect to iTunes, Here's how I finally resolved it.
DFU MODE:
Step-by-Step
1. Turn the iPhone ON
2. CONNECT it to the computer with a DIRECT USB connection.
3. Make sure iTunes is open so you'll know when it enters DFU mode.
4. HOLD the Power/Sleep-Wake button AND the Home button for 10 seconds.
5. RELEASE only the Power/Sleep-Wake button and continue to hold the Home button.
6. WAIT until iTunes recognizes the phone in DFU Restore mode (in Windows a bubble pops up saying it recognized new hardware "DFU Mode" or something to that effect)
The last step may take SOME TIME, 60 seconds or so.
The screen should be OFF (black), if you see the "Connect to iTunes" logo, START OVER.
It may take a few attempts to do the steps just right but it worked for me.
Failing that completely and I mean completely remove itunes and re-install then carry out the above. Details on how to completely remove iTunes here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Took a while but all's well now

P.S I didn't lose any iPhone content but had to restore my phone then update from iTunes which even after you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled it should find all your music etc again.

Have you attempted to connect iPhone to other USB Ports on your Mac?
Make sure you are not connecting the iPhone via a USB Hub, Mac keyboard, or using a USB extension cable.

IPhone not being recognized by iTunes, after 10.5 upgrade

I finally (!!) upgraded to Leopard and am now at 10.5.5. All has gone smoothly, with one exception. When I connect my iPhone via the provided USB cable, iTunes doesn't recognize it. iPhoto does, and the iPhone does charge while connected to the USB cable. I've tried both USB ports on my MBP, as well as the older style iPod cable and the newer generation iPhone cable. Also, my iPod DOES connect and is recognized by iTunes.
Help!

Any major jump requires purchase of the different version. Your cheapest alternative right now would be to get the Snow Leopard upgrade disc for $29. You do not need Leopard as an intermediate step. Just make sure your computer and your software are ready for it:
[Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs> - [note by +K Shaffer+|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12924036#12924036] : "Some early Intel-based Macs can't use Snow Leopard 10.6 installers;of those, the Core Duo (not 2 duo) were suspect and had issues." - and a [qualifier by +a brody+|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13028822#13028822]: "I think that refers to the ones without at least 1 GB of RAM."
A Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Application Compatibility List - [http://snowleopard.wikidot.com>
Another approach is to decide why you are upgrading. If there isn't some new feature you absolutely must have the cheapest alternative is simply to use the highest iTunes version for Tiger. iTunes 9.2.1 [http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056]
If it were me, I'd get Snow Leopard. Usually OS updates are $130 but for details not worth going into at this stage, you can use this opportunity to do an update much cheaper.

Definitive thread for iphone not being recognized in itunes in PCs

I have the problem many have mentioned that the iphone is not recognized by itunes at all.
I have tried completely uninstalling iTunes, quicktime, anything apple, and deleting the folders.
I have tried messing with the plugs, different USB ports.
I have seen the apple support page on this issue and tried everything, I have also seen the page about ipods having this problem which advised turning off power management on USB ports.
I have tried it all.
I know my phone and cables are probably fine because everything works perfectly on my desktop, which is configured the same as the problem computer (an HP laptop running XP Pro with all current updates except IE 7).
Please don't tell me to buy a mac, I didn't buy the iphone just to be forced into converting overnight to the apple religion.
I have read every thread about this issue and it seems everyone has solved their problem except me so I had to start a thread.
I haven't had the time to sit for Apple support on the phone yet but I will do that this weekend hopefully, can't imagine what the fix can be but I will report back here if I get it.
Any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated.
My laptop is just 2 years old and it does have USB 2.0.

When you plug it in, Windows should at least recognize it as the iPhone camera and ask what program you want to run. It displays a list, none of which are iTunes. Does this happen when you plug it in? At least that would eliminate the question of the cables and whether or not the computer itself sees it.
Now as to iTunes, it should be open when you connect. I know that helps to get it recognized. Also, the same issue I recall having was that I had not upgraded iTunes to 7.3.0 and it would not recognize it without that version.
Isn't there also something about Authorizing/Deauthorizing something under the Advanced section of iTunes? I've never understood this, but it must do something.

Trouble with my iPhone not being recognized as a camera...?

I'm trying to save the pictures taken with my iPhone to my PC running XP. But my computer doesn't seem to recognize that the iPhone is connected, but it is charging it and when I open iTunes I can sync it just fine. I looked in My Computer to see if it was listed there as a storage device, but it's not. I also went into Control Panel and opened Scanners and Cameras and tried to add it but of course it's not on the list of available cameras. I think my computer recognized it as a camera when I connected it the very first time, but I haven't seen it do that since. I've tried to read other posts but can't seem to get any real good answers, any PC people know what I can do ?

Why is my music disappearing all the time and why is my ipod not being recognized?

First off, I'm horrible with computers, so if anyone answers this could please use layman terms? Okay, so i put music from my flash drive onto itunes and when it was taking over 2 minutes for the drive to eject, I just yanked it out (I know, not the smartest thing to do). But then all my music disappeared. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but nothing happened. I then searched my music folders and found a file that was simply called itunes and had all my music in it. I copied and pasted it into itunes and all my music was back! Then I tried another flash drive with a couple songs on it and ejected it correctly this time.... but my music disappeared again. So i recopied and pasted the itunes music folder but I found that the music I tried to get from my flash drive wasn't on it.I tried to put music on from both flash drives again but the music got wiped again! I gave up on the flash drives and tired to fix itunes. In the control panel section where you can uninstall programs I clicked the repair option for itunes, hoping that would do something. It didn't. So by now, I've uninstalled then reinstalled itunes 3 or 4 times and can still get my music back from the itunes music folder but everytime I turn off or restert my computer the music goes all disappeary on me again. I have no Idea what is going on with itunes and I also can't sync my ipod. It isn't recognized by itunes and when I click on it in the devices section of the start menu, it shows a yellow triangle with an ! in it and when I left click it and select troubleshoot it says "Troubleshoot couldn't identify the problem". The ipod won't even charge when its plugged into the computer, it has to be plugged into a wallcharger. Please help!

Never mind, it somehow fixed itself. At least the itunes store did, but my ipod nano is still not able to sync.

IPod Nano 5th Gen Help: When I connect my iPod to my PC it seems to connect fine and show as normal until I load up itunes. Why is it suddenly not being recognized once my itunes is loaded?

Hello, I've been working at this for hours but have made little to no progress in fixing my issue.
So when I plug my ipod in via usb into my computer the autoplay starts and it connects as an iPod. I can see it when I open up "Computer" and everything seems to be running fine. I'm not getting any errors or anything.
However, the moment itunes starts up, whether it be manually started or starting automatically through the helper, my symbol for safely removing falls off of my screen and I can no longer see the ipod in "Computer". Though I may be able to see it in Printer and Devices.
I've already gone through several steps to try and fix it via support on this site. I've reinstalled itunes, I've gone into disk mode, I've reset the ipod, unplugged it and replugged it in. My last option is to restore to factory defaults. As much as I would love to do this to see if it works (as all my music is backed up on discs and my computer), I can't do so if it isn't showing in itunes due to the fact it can't detect the ipod or at least the kind of ipod. I've tried to find a 3rd party program that could do this but none of them offer the option. Note: The ipod itself works fine. I can listen to it and it'll charge just fine. It just won't recognize.
I'm running Windows 7 OS. iTunes is up-to-date.
If anyone knows how to fix it, the help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello BPeery,
I would go through ALL the steps here:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Let us know how it goes.
Hope this helps.
