iPhone not showing up in iPhoto

Suddenly and out of the blue, my iPhone doesn't show up anymore in iPhoto, so I can't get my photos off the camera :-/

I've not changed anything that I can think of so I don't get why it suddenly doesn't work anymore. I couldn't find support on this issue so I'm asking here 🙂

MabBook Pro 17" + iPhone 3G 16GB, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Thanks for all the great posts guys.

I fixed it by deleting images off my phone until suddenly I hit the image which was causing the problem, either it was corrupt or the file name was freaking everything out somehow. I had to delete about 20 images before I got to the culprit image and then suddenly my iPhone is working as normal again with iPhoto etc.

You can access and copy over your camera roll quickly (even with the Free version)

For me the iPhone shows in DiskAid when it has a supposed "corrupt image" conflict with iPhoto.

I had this problem + my iPhone was also disconnected from the iTunes after some time: iPhone was not showing anywhere on the computer, however it was syncronizing itself forever... After reading these messages, I could pinpoint the problem to the scanned photos (in jpg) I just had added to iPhoto. After removing them, all seems to be fine. Now I only don't know which scanned photo is the culprit, or all of them.
