iPhoto stopped importing from all sources. It used to work perfectly.
I tried 3 iPhones (4 and 4S) and 2 cameras (Nikon and Sony); to no avail.
I am updated in terms of OS and iPhoto; I run Lion on a new Mac Air.
Any ideas????
Thanks

What happems when you try?
absolutely nothing
on the left side where iPhoto used to display the connected phones/cameras nothing shows up
Can you access the material via Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)
No, the capture image app does not see anything. The only way I managed to get pictures off teh cameras is by removing theSD card and inserting it in the MAC. Of course that does not work on the iPhone :-(
Well that pretty much points the finger at the USB port or the cable, no?
That is exactly what I though so I used another cable (borrowed from a friend and it was working on his MAC) and changed USB port (the port that I use connecting to Ethernet and that works well).
again no results.
(by the way the cable I use for the cameras is different to the cable I use for the iPhones)
Of course I restarted the MAC and I also ploayed around the sequence:
- start iPhoto first
- Insert USB first
- make sure iTunes is on
- make sure iTunes os off
and a permutation of the above
I have the exact same problem. No show in either iPhoto og Imaga Capture.
I've:
Restarted and reset everything. Including my brain. No worky
Tried 3 different USB cables. No worky
Deleted iPod Photo Cache from iPhoto package. No worky
Restored iPhone. No worky
Re-installed iPhoto. No Worky
Search the ENTIRE web. No worky-aroundy
Never before not been able to fix a thing like this.. It's driving me insane.
No show in either iPhoto og Imaga Capture.
So that eliminates iPhoto as the issue - is this an iPhone (if so try resetting it - and/or posting in the iPhone forum) or a camera (if so then get a card reader and use it - once your photos are safely on your computer and backedup use yoru camera to reformat your camera mamory card

Hi Larry,
Thanks for taking the time and sorry about the lack of info.
I am running:
MacOSX Mavericks 10.9 (MacBookPro 2.5 i5). iOS7 (7.0.4) - iPhone5, iPhoto (9.5) & iTunes (11.1.3). Everything should be up to date.
I've reset the phone and even restored it.
iPhoto has been re-installed as well, even though I'm not sure if that has any effect at all, since all the files stays in the "pictures/iphoto" folder. Maybe I could copy my masters and sorting, then delete and re-install? Do you by any chance know which files precisely?
No show in either iPhoto og Imaga Capture.
again since the issues is the same in two different applications that points to the source - not the application - or to the OS
Post in the iPhone forum or reinstall the OS = there is a way to do that easily according to Old Toad's posts - I have not personally tested doing the OS restore

I had this same problem
iPhoto 9.4.3
iPhone 5 v.7.0.4
I was lucky by turning the iPhone off (holding the power button down until the shut off slider appears) while the iPhone was plugged into the iMac. When I powered the iPhone back up, iPhoto recognized the device and I was able to download my recent photos in the customary manner.
Try repairing disk permissions - fixed my problem
iPhoto does not import from iPhone
