Cant import pics in either iPhoto or Image Capture

[VoodooDaddy]

Ive read through EVERY thread I can find about this, done every possible fix anyone has suggested, and cannot get it to import. Image capture show 225 pics to import but wont import them. iPhoto wont show the iphone UNTIL I UNPLUG IT!!! Then when I plug it back in, it mounts the iphone again, and says "loading photos" to infinity. Nothing shows up.

Ive delete the preference files for iphoto and image capture, nothing. It has worked in the past. This is the first time Ive used it for a while though.

A restart couldn't hurt. I'm not saying it's a likely fix, but there's no reason not to try it.

Also if there's some way to restart an iPhone, you should try that too.

Ive repaired permissions, restarted my mac, restored my iphone, nothing seems to work.

Ok, here was my fix. My phone had been jailbroken in the past, and I had used an app called Screenshot. Before performing a restore on the phone I did not delete out a few screenshots I had taken with it. I assumed that restoring would delete everything that I had on there. But apparently not.

After trying everything else I had come across with no luck, I jailbroke my phone again, re-installed Screenshot to see if perhaps there were a few pictures left over that might somehow be causing the problems. Low and behold there were still 2 screenshots on the phone. Once I deleted both of those I could once again import with iPhoto and Image Capture.

Hope it helps.

It did!! :-) this fixed my import too, just navigate to the DCIM folder on your iphone and delete anything not named IMG*

Many thanks!

I was having trouble with my iPhone with no pics at all, even when I had taken pics! I finally restored my phone as a NEW phone. It worked! No problems at all. I would also mention: I had tried a restart, and also a restore to a backup. No success. Only a restore as a new phone. Now if I can get all my settings/favorites, etc. back in place!

This worked for me too (deleting any no IMG named files). Thank you.
