Iphoto wont tranfer pictures from iphone

Using the factory cable did it for me. Why can't the wealthiest company in the world do better than this..... ugh.

so weird but this worked for me too. Thansk for the tip.

My Iphone doesnt even show up in I photo devices or importand I dont know why, I'd really love it if I didn't have to jailbreak or email my photos 5 at a time. Is there a way to upload photos from Iphone to I photo

It was a rather stupid thing which i noticed quite late. i tried changing cables, bluetooth off etc didn't work for me. Then i noticed a small lock icon in the folder i was importing the images to. i had by mistake locked the folder. Hence the app was unable to write to the folder. Removed the lock and it worked like a charm. Maybe thats why it worked for a user when he changed location to desktop.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, when I connect my iPod Touch 4g to my Mac via USB Dock cable, the iPod would sync to iTunes and iPhoto would show it attached, but showed (0) photos even though there were hundreds on my camera roll. After reading all the discussions about folks who got it to work by using a different dock/sync cable, I started fiddling with my cable. Unplugging and replugging the Dock cable (30 Pin) side from the iPod Touch itself did not help so I reached around behind my iMac and unplugged the USB side of my dock cable counted to 10 and then plugged it back in. Bingo! The iPod Touch now shows up with all the photos and movies visible in iPhoto and I was able to import them. I hope this helps someone else with the same issue.

Changing cables worked for me as well! So ridiculous!

This may be really late but look in applications for Image Capture. This solved my problem. I had 3082 pictures/movies. 1 was giving me a problem. But iPhoto '09 couldn't tell me which one.

Image Capture (I might add, built-in app) skipped the broken one and imported everything else. Also put it right into my iPhoto Library (that's a choice).

Thanks apple for having some really good software.

Here is what solved my wife's iphone to iphoto issue: There was a picture on her iPhone that was corrupt. Deleting the picture directly on the iphone (had to do this directly from camera roll instead of photo view) solved the issue. Now all photos are being imported again! Woohoo

By HD do you mean HDR? I am guessing that is the case. HD means High Definition and HDR means High Dynamic Range.

THANK YOUUUUUUU! This immediately fixed it!

Thanks for this tip, MQNBROSTV!! Have been going nuts all afternoon trying to download my photos - switching to a lower gague cable did the trick! Happy now...

BrianWE - how did you determine which photo on the phone was corrupt??

I was able to determine the corrupt photo while viewing photos in the camera roll.....all of a sudden 1 particular image would always start to load and then cause the camera roll app to quit. I then new the correct culprit to delete. Hope that helps you!

Using the USB cable that came with my phone worked to resolve this problem for me too.

I also was unable to upload any pictures from my cable, tried everything, and it was the cable!! Thank you!
