how to unlock iPhone 6 to upload to iphoto

This happened to me when I installed the latest OS update to my iPhone 6. The phone will now no longer connect to iPhoto or iTunes on my MacBook Pro because its operating system is not compatible with the new iPhone OS. My MacBook Pro has Mad OS X 10.7.5; the computer's OS must be at least 10.9 or higher. So my only option is to have Apple upgrade the computer to that or to the current state-of-the-art OS, Sierra.

The only other solution is to e-mail the photos to yourself, then drop & drag them into iPhoto. Not the end of the world, to be sure, but this should not have happened. Apple should have provided a way to override that aspect of the new iPhone software and permit users to continue transferring photos directly into the computer.

Frankly, I think this reflects very badly on Apple, a company I have come to trust. Apple should not keep pushing owners to upgrade their devices without first explaining what the effects of that will be. Had I known this new iPhone 6 OS would have created this problem, I would not have bothered upgrading it. Now I can no longer store my iPhone photos in my computer and will have to delete them once the iPhone's storage capacity is reached. I can't even email them to myself because the iPhone says they are too large a file and I should put them in a dropbox.

Thx. I wuz wondering why I can't upload like I used to!! 😠 I did alll those things too !! Did they reply to have any resolution to this problem?? 😕lmk. Have a safe nite 🙂

No, they didn't, other than installing the new Sierra OS on my MacBook.

However, I think my post above was a bit inaccurate and confusing. I can email the photos to myself, then drag them from the email message into iPhoto on my MacBook. I was able to send quite a few photos at a time in an email too, so that really solved the problem for me. I just can't do it the old way by connecting the phone to the computer with the USB cable.

I will not install any more OS updates on my iPhone!

I am happy with my Apple products, but this is the same sort of problem we had with each edition of Microsoft Windows before switching to Apple. It wasn't very long before your computer was "out of date" because it wouldn't run the most recent software. Hence, you needed a new computer, which both Microsoft and Apple would love to sell you. Eventually, I may have to buy a new MacBook, but the one I have is only 3 1/2 years old and works fine. It has held up so much better than any Windows PC I ever had. I would NEVER go back to Microsoft Windows.

Hope this helps.

thx i understood wat u wrote. Ohhh wellll I guess I gotta do da same as U. Have a safe day much aLOHa'z.

Is it hard to update computer? I have tons of pictures so the email option won't work. I also have external hard drive. Ugh. Help

I have now found that I can email the photos to myself from my iPhone 6, and include many photos in each email. I then open the email on my computer and simply drag the photos from the email message directly into iPhoto. At first I thought it wasn't working or that it would only take one photo per email, but you actually have to wait a few seconds for all the photos to load into the email. Once they appear in the message part of the email, you can fill in your own email address in the "TO" block and send them. It should work.

Turn off passcode usage on phone and then try again. That worked for me.

Err comes up on iPhoto when I try to down load poto's from my new iPhone 6 the err said you must unlock the device to import them

Did you ever get it to work? Mines been doing the same thing an I can't upload any photos because of a password thing. My phone doesn't have a passcode to open it and I'm logged into iTunes also.

Thanks!!! you helped me out too!

If you can try to Bluetooth your photos to your mac....
