Hello someone,

I have connected my iphone via USB onto my Mac desktop and want to download all of the photos from the phone onto iphoto.

I have managed to do this for 800 photos without a problem, but them iphoto does not pick up the remaining 4,500 photos.

Please can you let me know what to do.

I followed a similar question and in the instructions it said: Photos, iphoto library, right click, delet ipod cache...

But I couldnt find the ipod cache.

Thanks for your help!!

Can you access the material with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)?

Some of them might have been edited on the iphone (not anywhere else), but definitely not all 4000 photos..

Images that have been edited are no longer in the Camera Roll. How to get those from your Phone to the Mac depends on the app you used to edit them.

Try import them in batches. One or more files is clogging up the transfer, try and weed them out.
