Does anyone know how to fix my problem? I cannot import my photos from the Iphone to the computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera roll cannot be viewed or imported because the IPhone is locked with a passcode. My phone is unlocked. I tried everythin

So, you are indicating that the device is not displaying the Lock Screen, correct? Do you use Touch ID? If so, try putting your finger on the device to see if that is what it wants.

"Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone" cannot be viewed or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode."

Hi, all and thanks for reading.

I have a problem, and cannot get my photos off my iPhone, ... using iPhoto 08, on my Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I normally download my photo's in the iPhone 5, camera roll, using iPhoto 08, and usb plugged into MAC.

All of a sudden my iPhoto 08 is blocked by iPhone password.?

I get this message.

"Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone" cannot be viewed or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode."

"You must enter your passcode on the iPhone to view and import them."

I am thinking it may be since my new iphone update a few weeks ago ... I think ... but not sure.

Worked perfectly a few weeks ago, and pretty sure did not update any mac programs, just iPhone.

Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone" cannot be viewed in iPhoto, or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode.

So I unlock the iPhone, same message.

So I removed my iPhone lock. Restarted Mac, plugged in, opened iPhoto, and got the same message.

I read online numerous fixes, including the "trust a computer", but none work.

One was to open itunes. But when I open iTunes, I now ALSO get a message ... iTunes could not connect to the iPhone “iPhone” because an invalid response was received from the device.

Apple advice is to make sure I have the latest version, this is the problem, but I have the latest version. 11.4.

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a iPhone 5. … iPhoto 08. I cannot update to a newer system, or programs for numerous reasons. Please don't recommend.

Any help appreciated.

So, based on what you have written, your device not recognized in iTunes issue may be related to the iTunes version you are running (and the iOS version on your device).

Are you running iOS 10 on your device? If you are, then you must run iTunes 12.5 or higher in order to connect your phone to iTunes. And you need iOS 10.9 or later to do that.

iPhoto is the other issue. iOS 10 works with Photos but I'm not sure it will still work with iPhoto. Or, it could be that you simply need the updated OS X for any of it to work.

Your best bet is to update your OS X if you can to Mavericks or higher, then update iTunes to 12.5.1. With the later OS X, you will see the new Photos app, and your iPhoto Library will automatically import to Photos. You will still have those photos accessible in iPhoto as well, so you can go to the Preferences on either Photos or iPhoto and set that version up to do the import and then see how it goes.

Best of luck,

What iOS are you running on your iPhone, and what OS X or OS are you running on the computer?

I have a iPhone 5, and a Mac OS X 10.6.8, iPhoto 08, and iTunes 11.4.
I cannot update to a newer system, or programs for numerous reasons.

Sorry ... and I have a iPhone 5, 10.0.2

Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to be able to access your Photos Library with the updated iOS. You definitely cannot access your iTunes Library with it.

You can still back up your device to iCloud. And you can always re-download any of your iTunes purchases.

You might want to look into uploading your photos from your Mac and your phone to an archival cloud service like Dropbox or Flickr.

Sorry and best of luck, 😟

I suppose I could use dropbox, but I really would like to use iPhoto as it was so quick and easy.
Apple always does this to old Mac users, and programs ... VERY ANNOYING.

I would really to to resolve this issue, of iPhone to iPhoto.
Anyone got anything else?

Is your Mac unable to run a newer OS X? Because that is what will be required in order to do what you specifically are asking to do. OS X 10.6 is 5 releases behind the most recent OS X not including the new OSMac Sierra. Apple as well as Google among others no longer support Snow Leopard. So, it is just not going to be able to work with the latest and greatest changes on your iPhone or other interactive devices that require the OS to function.

Sorry, but if you cannot upgrade, then you are going to have to use a different alternative. Automatic import to Photos is not an option. I would have suggested that you could, alternatively, use iCloud Photo Sharing, but the level of your OS X doesn't even support iCloud, so that's out.

Best of luck,

Try restarting both your device and computer, remove the passcode on your device then try syncing it then you can restore the passcode.

B34STM0D, I had tried this, as stated I removed my iPhone lock. Restarted Mac, plugged in, opened iPhoto, and got the same message. I read online numerous fixes, including the "trust a computer", but none work.

Try Wondershare TunesGo, I downloaded this and it works, not only can I use this program, BUT FOR SOME REASON, my iPhoto does not ask for password and works, just like before.
