Hey All

Whenever I plug my iPhone into my Mac Mini it syncs with iTunes and AddressBook, iCal and Mail but iPhoto doesn't pop up anymore like it used to. Furthermore when I manually launch iPhoto it either doesn't see the iPhone at all or says there are no new photos to download even though there are.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and managed a fix? I don't think its an issue with my iPhone as when I sync with my MacBook iPhoto works as it should.

PS For anyone wondering how I got my iPhone to sync with two different Macs please realize that my MacBook is a clone of my Mac Mini.

Road Warrior: MacBook White 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo 2GB Ram 80GB HD.

I was able to get it to sync with iPhoto (6.0.2) twice, and since it does not come up... Checked every preference panel I can find, and no luck. I can push pictures down to the phone (sync in iTunes works) but I can't pull pictures from the phone to iPhoto.

So, I thought perhaps it was due to my having an old version of iPhoto, but I can't get a new version to download and install either...

This happened to me the other day. It took about 20 times of plugging/unplugging the phone (I think I may have even restarted the phone and/or computer) but eventually it did work for me.

So, in an effort to find a solution for my sync problems, I connected the iPhone to my IBM thinkpad (XP) and was able to download the images and save them (and then transfered them to the iMac). So, I thought, let's try "Restore" and see what happens. Basically, I had to re-enter my email info (passwords mainly) as well as WiFi info (ditto), and then wait while the sync occured (all the music and contacts). Also, all the emails were gone, and once the sync was over, it downloaded 300+ emails from my various accounts (PITA sorting that out again!).

And the sync still does not work right. Contacts in Address Book are not synced, as well as some iCal events. Took 5 pictures with the camera, and it does not recognize it in iPhoto either. UGH!!!
