iPhoto does not seem to recognize iPhone 5?

Does it show in the finder? In iTunes?

LN

also having this problem between new iphone 5 and 2012 macbook pro. just updated the firmware, OS, and iPhoto on the pro and all the sudden iphoto wont recognize my iphone, but itunes does just fine. photo stream gets my pics onto my macbook but not videos! i need the videos to transfer and havent found a way.

Same problem here. My iPhone 3GS was seen automatically by iPhoto but my new iPhone 5 is not seen. The latest and greates of iPhoto and OS X 10.7 is installed on a Macbook pro

Hey Guys,

So I was having the same issue. iPhone 5 on iPhoto. iPhone wouldnt come up on iPhoto on a new MBA (less than a week old), or even iTunes 11! So after reading many forums and trying many things this finally did the job:

Quit all your applications, turn off the mac and deselect the button that says reopen windows when log back in so that is not ticked:

Then restart the computer. Your iPhone should now come back on iPhoto as visible when you relaunch iPhoto or iTunes and reconnect it.

Hope this helps you guys, it would of saved me hours had I read this sooner.

This didn't work for me, but I found a fix that did. Go to disk utilities, repair disk permissions, then reconnect the iPhone. Good luck!

Repair disk permissions worked for me too. Thanks!

I had this problem today and tried all fixes which didn't work, I changed my cord from a (possibly cheap china lead) to another and it opened Iphoto as per normal and i could copy my pics.

Running Disk Utility and then Repair Disk Permissions worked for me as well - thanks!

This definitely did not work for me. Any other ideas?

I also have this problem, and doing that disk utility thing did not help....any other ideas? I've been having this problem for quite awhile now...

Close both iTunes and iPhoto. Go to your system preferences, then in the sharing section, make sure that your computer name is the same as the one you had when you first configured your iPhone. Then go to your library, preferences and delete the iTunes plist file and iPhoto plist file. Restart your computer and everything should be OK.

This worked for me too. Apple is going downhill.

This is such a Windows-esque problem & solution!
