I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to a 4, and after restoring the 4 to the backup of my 3GS (5.0.1 if it means anything), I began to take pictures...much to my dismay, iPhoto on my iMac (10.6.8) would no longer recognize my iphone 4 as anything but a generic "iphone" and said there were no photos to import. I've also tried using Image Capture, and the same thing happens; iTunes, however, has no problem recognizing my iphone as MY iPhone and syncs without a hitch. What could be causing every other piece of mac software other than iTunes to not see my phone? My iPhoto is up to date (as is all my apple software).
Edit: Okay so this morning I downloaded a 200 mb security update for OS X, and I also discovered after a reboot of the phone, my icloud password needed reentering in settings>icloud. After these two changes, everything is working fine.
