Actually now that I think about it — I have never been able to get iPhoto to work with the iPhone 5 right from day 1. And I did not buy the car charger until a couple weeks later. I’m suspicious that it’s the APPLE cables that don’t work… Try going and buying a $20 car charger adapter and use THAT cable to see if it makes iPhoto work.

Actually no, wait – I take that back – I don’t know which cable is which. They look slightly different though. Anyways hopefully this puts someone else on the right track.

In short – do not use 3rd party USB connector cables with the iPhone 5. Well, they appear to work for charging, but for whatever reason iPhoto doesn’t like them.

The above did not work for me. Mountain Lion + 6.0.2
HOWEVER I did figure it out like magic.

First, the above did not rebuild my iPhoto library. However I discovered holding down Command-Option-Shift while launching iPhoto presents you with several options for rebuilding the library. I chose the bottom one as it appear the most extreme.

It had no effect. I tried closing all top menu bar utilities one at a time.
No effect.

I tried flipping my connector cable the other direction. No effect.

I tried using a different connector cable for my iPhone 5. WORKED instantly.
Went back to 1st cable. DID NOT WORK.

Used 1st cable in other USB PORT (flipped ports) – DID NOT WORK.
Used 2nd cable in the opposite port – STILL WORKED.

It’s the USB cables.

Now. I don’t know which is which. Which was provided by Apple and which came with my car charger adapter pack – but one is clearly deficient.

You might try adding this to your solution above… thank you for getting me on the right track.!!! You don’t know how aggravating this has been.

Following these steps did not solve my problem. Still iPhoto shows no devices. I’m using Mountain Lion and IOS 6.0.1.

Thank you for providing this solution to a problem that it took me 6 hrs. of search through Apple discussion group and other websites without success.

Keep the good work and I suggest you might post a link in Apple Discussion to this.
