Ok so EVERYONE I know is having issues with uploading their pictures to iphoto, it comes up with this annoying error mid-upload, this is what you do to remedy that
- Quit iPhoto
- Open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app)
- In the search window at the top right, search for PTPCamera
- Click on PTPCamera in the list of results to highlight it
- Click on Quit Process (the red stop sign icon in the upper left of Activity Monitor)
- Choose “Quit”
- If you don’t already see “Image Capture Extension” in the list, search for it in the search box. Click on “Image Capture Extension” in the list of results to highlight it
- Choose “Quit”
- Go to Macintosh HD > System > Library > Image Capture > Devices and open PTPCamera.app back up
- Unplug and re-plug the iPhone 4. iPhoto should open, if you’ve set it to do so when a camera is plugged in. Otherwise, open it. You should see your media available for import from the iPhone 4 when you click on the iPhone 4 in the devices list.
That'll do it!
