iPhoto not detecting Nokia phone after Snow Leopard upgrade
I've seen a few threads on Snow Leopard problems and after upgrading it took hours to get the iMac to talk to my HP printer. That's sorted but iPhoto will still not recognise my Nokia 5800. It doesn't mount in the list as a device, despite ditching and reinstalling Nokia Multimedia Transfer, killing off the cache and the iPhoto plist. I can use NMT to put pix and music on my phone but can't get them off the **** thing. Image Capture isn't seeing it either! iPhoto doesn't launch when I plug the phone in with USB the Mac wants to use Bluetooth but - guess what? - it still won't recognise it.
Everything worked fine before the SL upgrade ... wish I hadn't bl**dy bothered, it's more of a white elephant than a white leopard!
Update: I put the phone into Image Transfer mode (not recognised by NMT despite being on the phone!). It automatically launched iPhoto and after a few minutes it magically appeared in the devices list at last. I guess we'll have to see if Nokia get NMT sorted for true Mac compatibility sometime.
I too have found that my N95 is no longer seen by iPhoto since upgrading to SL. As you also point out, using other transfer modes sometimes makes iPhoto launch but then the phone suddenly disappears.
I'm having the same problem with iPhoto not recognising my N95 after the Snow Leopard upgrade.
I've managed to get photos off the N95 and into iPhoto by the following method:
Nokia MT > Tools and Settings > Open Device Browser
You can then search the image files stored on either the micro SD card or the phone's internal memory. Fiddly, but it works until Nokia can upgrade the plug-in or something.
