cannot transfer photos to my computer from my phone

I have not had any updates available for my iphoto for a long time. I now cannot transfer photos to my computer from my phone. This has just started to happen. The phone does not show up in iphotos when I plug it in to the computer. I take lots of photos and this is frustrating to me. Any ideas?

In Photos 4.0 on macOS 10.14.2 Mojave the iPhone will appear in the "Devices" section of the sidebar, after you have unlock the iPhone, once it has been plugged into a USB port.


And you should upgrade iTunes as well, if you have not done so for quite some time. Downloading by USB requires a current version of iTunes to be installed, so you can confirm on the iPhone to trust this Mac.
