Transfer photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto on Mac

Sometimes my photos automatically transfer from the iphone to iphoto - or maybe I am doing something to cause it because I am playing around with it. But it generally takes hours. I want to do this quickly. Can you tell me how?

Connect iPhone to Mac. Start iPhoto on the Mac. Select your phone in iPhoto and copy your pictures to the Mac.

Cannot transfer photos from iPhone into iPhoto 9

So I was transferring vacation pictures and had no problem uploading pictures from my memory card into iPhoto but when I plugged in my iPhone and clicked 'import selected', a box came up saying "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library". Does anyone know whats going on and how I fix this problem? I have uploaded photos from my iPhone many times before this and have never had a problem.

And it's iphoto '09. I'm not quite sure what that means though. Do you mean on the hard drive? Sorry, not super computer savy.

Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help you.

Transfer photos from iPhone to mac without iPhoto / image capture and preview doesn't see device

Hello. I'd like to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I read (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083) that iPhoto is the standard application for that; I'd like to do without. I read that image capture (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8954/copy-photos-off-iphone-without-iph oto) or even Preview (http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/10/transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer/) could help. Neither of them see my iPhone although cable connected and iTunes does. So my question is two: If Preview and Image Capture are ineed supposed to, why don't they? And is there any other way?
Thanks

I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
Have a good luck!

Did you look in iTunes?

Transfer Photos from iPhone back to MAC

Need to get photos from iPhone back to my MAC - they are not iPhone photos. They were installed from iPhoto then hard drive crashed and pictures were lost. Now would like to get them back from iPhone. Can this be done?

This is not possible by default with an iPhone.
Keep in mind that photos transferred from a computer to an iPhone are optimized for viewing on an iPhone. If possible by some other means, the original resolution of the photos would be lost.
This is why maintaining a backup of the important data on your computer's hard drive is so very important. It isn't a matter of if, but when your computer's hard drive has a partial or complete failure.

Today I cannot transfer photos from iPhone to Mac; yesterday I could; What is wrong?

Today I cannot transfer photos from Iphone to Mac; yesterday I could; what is wrong? Used Image Capture but today it says no camera is connected; but it is.
Totally confused. Thanks for any help!

Yes I did; From another post I noticed the reply about email photos sometimes interferring; deleted those and will now try again. Any other suggestions if that doesn't work?
Thanks for the speedy reply!

How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:
Save photos to your computer

How to transfer photos from iphone to itunes windows 7

How do I transfer/sync my photos from my iphone 4s to my PC running windows 7. Then I would also like to erase 95% of the photos on my iphone and keep a few, yet I want to keep all of the pictures on my Windows7 PC hard drive.
Thank you!

vibosoft iPhone/ipad/ipod to computer transfer program would be the best iOS backup app which can easily backp or transfer photos from iPhone to windows 7 computer.
There is no doubt that Vibosoft is a good transfer proglam, here is another method
Step by step toturial on How to transfer photos from iphone to Mac:
1.Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
2.Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
3.When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.

Backup photos from iphone to iphoto with face recognision

I recently changed my harddisk on my macbook pro, fresh installed os x, updated to mountain lion.
I know most ppl would say I can transfer my data from time-machine, which I could. But my previous disk was backedup from my old old mac, 5 years ago, there is a lot crap on it which I don't want, etc.
Anyway. so I have the new system, and installed ilife. Then here is an issue:
- you can import all your photos from iphone to iphoto without problem,
- but all the face recognition and locations(for each album) defined on my iphone are't imported
So my questions is: how?
Also, it would be very handy if we can import apps from iphone to itunes? If you can, not sure how?

I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge. I am using Photoshop CS6. Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
And here is a Forum thread related to Aperture-to-Bridge

Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC:
On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer, but there’s two ways to go about this:
Plugin your iPhone to the computer without iTunes running
Wait for a popup asking you what you want to do with the device
Select “View Content”
Find your photos through the folders that are displayed
Copy in Windows as usual
If your iPhone is already plugged into your PC, you can try this method:
Plugin your iPhone to your PC
Open “My Computer”
Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
Open iPhone to find your Photos
Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/paste them into the desired location on your PC

How to transfer photo from iphone 4s to my computer with the same quality?

How to transfer photo from iphone 4s to my computer with win7 OS.

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed restore instead of sync. Now it's deleted my latest photos taken a week ago. Is there a way to get back those photos via backup somehow?

I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?
