IPhone doesn't show up on iphoto

How to solve IPhone doesn't show up on iphoto?

Some times If you plugged iPhone into the mac iphoto would open and it would import all photos not previosly imported. But now no matter what you do the iPhone just will not show up on iphoto although it shows up on iTunes and syncs smoothly as before...

1st.. check the settings in iPhoto > Preferences > General. If it already says Connecting camera opens: iPhoto, try changing it to something else then back again. If you did this to no avail... then

Maybe had a corrupt foto on your 3G that was preventing it from showing in iPhoto. You used a non Apple utility to delete the file. Afterwards, the 3G appeared as expected... but How to identify the corrupt photo?

Saved some photos received via email or MMS. Iphone would not show in iphoto. Once deleted all photos received by email or MMS on the phone, iphoto worked properly.

If we always had lots of photos received by email and never had a problem until now suddenly. Is there a programme which can identify the corrupted photographs?

Finally got around to doing what suggested. Here's what happened:

Created another user account. Fortunately iPhone appeared in iphoto there. Imported all the photos into iphoto and then to a folder on the desktop.

Then deleted originals on the iPhone. One photo refused to be imported and remained on the iPhone and deleted it manually - suspect that was the elusive delinquent. Then put the folder into shared user and then opened own user account and transferred it to my desktop. Now we shall have to laboriously transfer all the photos into iphoto.
