Please provide a little more info.


Are you trying to transfer photos from your phone to iPhoto on your computer?

Or are you using iPhoto for iOS on your phone and can't see the photo albums visible in your Photos app?


First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Trying to access Photo Library to get these old pictures onto my computer. The folder doesn't appear anywhere I look thru iPhoto, Finder, iTunes, etc.


I've rebooted phone. This folder has never appeared. Wondering if due coming from iPhone 3, now on iPhone4 with recent Ver 6 upgrade.


I've even copied pix (individually since Apple can't figure out a Shift-Select function) into a new Album, but that album doesn't appear either. I've removed phone from computer and resynced with no success.


Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

To get the photos from your iPhoto Library on your Mobile device to the computer, add them to the Camera Roll, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkee26bc1f


Import photos to iPhoto or Aperture on your computer

  1. Tap a photo and tap User uploaded file.
  2. Tap Camera Roll.
  3. Confirm or change the photos you want to share:
    • Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    • Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
  4. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
  5. Open iPhoto or Aperture, and import your photos.
