How to resolve my iPhoto issue?

I have photos that I want to import to iPhoto from my iPhone. The first time I tried importing the photos, everything worked fine.
This is the second time I've tried doing it. When I connected my iPhone to my Mac, it said my phone was ___% charged. But nothing happened in iPhoto--none of my pictures came up on my screen.

How do I fix this the second time around?

Open iPhoto. If it doesn't automatically ask to download the photos, use the select device feature to find your phone. I've noticed that sometimes iPhoto connects automatically and other times it doesn't. Must be some type of glitch in the "open this app when iphone connected" preference.

  • Why can't my iPhoto see my iPhone? I'm trying to plug in my iPhone so I can import my photos on iPhoto but it doesn't show up… It just says 'Apple iPhone' and it doesn't show any photos. Not my acual iPhone name and it doesn't have any of my pictures… How can I get my acual iphone to show up on iPhoto so I can import my photos?
  • Why can't I load pictures onto my iphoto anymore? I have a mac by the way so last week i plugged my friend's iphone to my iphoto to transfer some pictures. I forgot to eject her phone and i just removed the chord from my computer and it says her device was still attached. Now I can't load pictures from my phone to my iphoto. My iphone doesn't show up on the list of devices connected on iphoto. What should I do? What should/can I do to connect my iphone to my iphoto so that I can load my pictures again?
  • Itunes not syncing iphoto pictures to iphone? So when i click sync on itunes, i want it to upload the photos from the albums i have selected in iphoto. However it is only syncing a fraction of the photos (194/450)? I have updated all my programs, and my iphone 5. I have deleted all photos from my iphone and reloaded, but still nothing. It seems no new photos are being uploaded to my phone anymore? Itunes is not recognising them, though they are there in iphoto?
  • Is it possible to transfer iphoto pictures to my iphone without using itunes? So my itunes is not an option to transfer anything on my phone because its not working currently. (They say I have to update it or something before i sync it.) That's a whole different problem. I just want to know if it's possible to get my pictures from Iphoto on my new iphone 4 with no itunes access.
