Q: Photos on Mac is not detecting and importing photos on iPhone
I have a mac running El Capitan and an iPhone 6S with 9.0.2. I have photos on the iPhone that I have taken this past week. When I plug in the iPhone to the mac and launch iTunes and photos I can see the iPhone icon in photos but the import photos but the "imported selected" and "Import all" tabs are grey not blue.
this was not a problem yesterday with Yosemite.

the solution that works for me is I plug in my iPhone to my iMac and then do a soft reset(restart) on the iPhone hold the home button and top right lock button uuntil you se the apple logo. After this the photos show up in iPhoto with the import/(delete after import) buttons highlighted in blue.
