Basic Syncing of iPhone Photos

This is going to seem like a no brainer, but I have few basic questions about how the iPhone syncs photos. (I have read the manual, but what I've read doesn't address my questions.)
#1. Out of the box, after having taken some photos with the iPhone, does a normal sync between the iPhone and iTunes place those photos on my Mac? If so, where are they placed? (For further clarification, I have not turned on "Sync Photos From" in iTunes.)
#2. If they are not synced to my Mac, is there a way to sync them to my Mac without using iPhoto?
#3. Is there a way to upload photos to my iPhone without using iPhoto?
Thanks

You're welcome.
I never synced photos to the iPhone when I purchased it, so if I don't use iPhoto iTunes hammers all my iPhone photos.
I responded to this copied from your previous post.
This is not something I want to do, so how do I go about uploading photos to my iPhone without wiping out all my existing photos on the iPhone.
If you haven't transferred any photos from your computer to the iPhone yet, there are no photos on your iPhone unless you've captured photos with your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone do not affect photos captured by your iPhone. These are separate.
Sorry but what does "iTunes hammers all my iPhone photos" mean?
So, since I've used Image Capture to copy the iPhone photos to my Mac, can I now place these photos in the 'sync' folder and sync the copied photos, and the photos I want to upload all at the same time?
Yes.
This is what I do with iPhoto. I import photos captured by the iPhone into iPhoto, and then erase the photos from the iPhone after the import process is completed. If I want any of these photos available on the iPhone for viewing, I place the chosen photos in an iPhoto Album that I transfer to the iPhone.
You can do the same thing but manually with created folders than contain the photos you want available on your iPhone. Place multiple folders that contain photos in a "parent" folder. Select the Parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

My iPhone was lost how can I sync my iphone photos to facebook.

I'm using iPhone4 IOS7. I lost my iphone but i was not able to set the settings to sync my iphone photos to facebook. My friend told me that I should set it
but i dont have any idea that time. I would like to ask if it is possible now to sync my iphone photos to facebook using online applications or anthing?, so that
whoever found my iphone and if he/shee took pictures i can able to see it on my facebook? PLEASE iphone community. I really need your help.
I already used Find my Iphone app but i cannot track it because it is offline.

The only way to track an iPhone is if you turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud before it was lost, then login to your iCloud account, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up. To show up it must be turned on and connected to the internet.
If the iPhone did not have protections invoked and someone found/stole it and restored to factory condition, and then activated with a different number, there is no way to track or find it.
If it has been stolen or lost you can report that to your carrier and see if they offer blacklisting...that will block it from ever being activated by another person.

LR mobile Sync of iPhone photos to LR desktop? Not sure if it is working....

I created a collection on my iPhone by importing all 3000 or so iPhone pictures. It is slooooooowly syncing to my desktop lightroom (5.5). Above the signature block in LR desktop there is a line that says "Syncing 72 photos." In the Collections section, there is a collection called "From Lr Mobile" that with a sub collection that shows 417 photos. That number is rising more slowly than the number above the signature block is rising. Neither number is close to the 3000 in the collection that was created by importing pictures on my iPhone.
I have been syncing for days. Is there a way to speed things up? Am I asking too much of LR mobile? I was thinking this maybe a useful way to get my iPhone photos archived directly into my desktop LR; not clear if that workflow will work.
Thanks.

Firefox 4 and later version have Sync built-in, no add-on is necessary. The "icon" in the Statusbar that was used by the extension is gone, but there is a Sync toolbar button sitting in the Customize Palette which you can place on a toolbar where you want it. Hover the cursor over the button to see the status of the Sync connection.<br />

Click the orange Firefox button and you can see the status of Sync, too. If Sync isn't setup, the app menu shows '''Set Up Sync...'''. Once Sync is setup and operational, that menu item will show either '''''Connect''''' if Sync isn't connected to the Sync server, or '''''Disconnect''''' when it is connected.

As the manual says, you should be importing all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Syncing Libary Iphone photos to Macbook

My macbook broke and i lost everything on it but it was backed up on my Iphone I have got everything back onto my laptop except my pictures! How do i get my picyures back to my laptop???

Sorry, you can't. You'll have to use 3rd party software like touchcopy or similar, this siftware is not supported by Apple.
Pictures synced to the phone are reduced in size and quality for optimized viewing on the phone. And only photos taken with the phone are part of your backup.

I want to move photos from iPhoto to my Iphone without syncing my iphone photos to my Mac

Hello,
I want to copy photos on my computer in iPhoto to my iphone without transfering the pictures on my phone to my computer. I believe that the syncing feature in itunes will download the photos into itunes as well as upload the photos I've selected. In summary:
Photos from computer to phone: Good
photos from phone to computer: Bad
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

I want to copy photos on my computer in iPhoto to my iphone without transfering the pictures on my phone to my computer.
Simple.
Once iPhoto opens, don't import anything..
Just quit the iPhoto application.
I believe that the syncing feature in itunes will download the photos into itunes
iTunes does not download photos from the phone or into iTunes.
iPhoto imports them if you tell it to.

MY PREVIOUS MAC HARD DRIVE CRASHED. WHY CAN'T I SYNC MY IPHONE PHOTOS TO MY NEW MACBOOK?!?!?! SERIOUSLY. APPLE.

This is UNACCEPTABLE. When a computer hard drive crashes, you can't do anything about it. Now I have a ton of photos on my iphone that I just can't get off it when I want to sync it with my newly purchased Macbook Air.
This is one area where controlling everything end-to-end is too much. Let us get to the **** raw data files where we need too (like the Macbook allows you to do that). COME ON APPLE. SERIOUSLY, do a **** upgrade and fix this crap.

You can get your photos off your phone. If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly. For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

HT4890 how to sync my iphone photos to iCloud on Mac?

I recently started using my new IPhone5. I thought any pics I take will automatically upload to my iCloud that I can view on my MAC. Can anyone please tell me how I need to set this up? I thought my iCloud sync automatically with my MAC and IPhone5. Thank you.

The following is a rehash of what has been already mentioned but with screenshots:
On you phone enable Photo Stream in the iCloud preference pane:
On your Mac do the same in the System/iCloud preference pane:
And then in iPhoto enable Photo Stream in the Photo Stream preference pane:

I am having trouble syncing my iPhone: photos and music will not sync

I have upgraded to iOS5, I have a iPhone4. iCloud is all set up. Mac is upgraded to Lion. When I connect to iTunes, it allows me to click the sync button and appears to go through the process. When finished there are no photos or music that are set to sync.
I did try unclicking the sync music, then syncing and then reclicking the music - no avail.
Suggestions?

That didnt help. it keeps coming upwith this.....
iTunes cant verify the identity of the sever "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com"
thecertificate for this serverhas expired. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com" witch could put your confidential information at risk. would you like to connect to the server anyway?
what does this mean??

Is there a way to automatically sync my iPhone photos to my iPad and keep it there (not photo stream)

And then I would like to delete some pics from my iPhone but I want it to stay on iPad

Well first, you'd need to update your Mac to the current Mavericks release 10.9.4, and your iTunes needs to be version 11.2 or later. If you have not done those updates yet, then you won't see the sync options in iTunes.
Once you've done those updates, the sync options for local contact syncing should be where they always were prior to Mavericks initial release -- on the "Info" tab for your iPhone's sync options while connected to iTunes (locate and select your iPhone in the iTunes "sidebar" on the left side, then select the Info tab).

IPHOTO SYNCS 2 YEARS WORTH OF iPHONE PHOTOS EVERYTIME

Every time I sync my iPhone photos in iPhoto is syncs pretty much EVERYTHING!!! I have 20 copies of every photo. When I first connect it on the import screen it says it's syncing from 9/9/2008 to the current date. How can I change that so I quit having so many duplicates??

Bad news I'm afraid. iCloud only keeps the last 30 days of photos. Your device will keep some old iCloud photos around - up to 1000 photos - but those ones aren't actually on iCloud any more. It's one of my pet hates about iCloud Photostream, and it has caused a lot of people to lose data. It's a very bad design decision on Apple's part.
There are file recovery programs that might be able to recover the deleted photos from your handset, but I can't remember the names of any right now. Stop using the phone completely until you can run a file recovery program to maximise the number of photos it can restore. Preferably, switch it off completely.

Recovering iPhone photos after PC Sync

I just installed iTunes and tried syncing my iPhone photos to with PC.
Instead of copying photos to the PC, it did the reverse.
Any quick way to get these photos back via iCloud or other option.
(it looks like the iCloud photos folder was updated as well).

Syncing photos that were in the Camera Roll? Camera Roll photos don't sync, and a sync with iTunes would not remove them. A sync, if you have it checked in Photos in iTunes, should sync the photos on your computer to iTunes. If you had photos on the phone that were synced from another computer, those could have been deleted with a photo sync.
If you had the settings in your photo import utility on the PC set to automatically import photos and then delete from the source, it could have moved them from the iPhone. Windows sees the iPhone with photos on it like a digital camera and will import depending on your settings. Check your Pictures library and see if there is a folder dated today containing those pictures. But, iTunes does not do anything with pictures in the Camera Roll except back them up with the iPhone backup.

How do I sync my Iphone data to a recently bought PC with Windows 8?

Trying to sync my iPhone photos,videos, and music to my new HP Computer with Windows 8 but it keeps telling me if I sync that the iPhone will be erased and replaced with the data on the laptop (of which there is none). I used to own a Macbook pro but it got fried, that's the only other computer I believe the iPhone has synced to. I just want to take data from the phone and put it on the computer, not erase it. Thanks for the help.

I just want to take data from the phone and put it on the computer,
It doesn't work like that.
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....
