Best Way to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac

Okay, here's my situation.
I installed Snow Leopard and the installation window told me I had to change my volume scheme. Not knowing why the button to allow me to do this was grayed out, I called Apple. The woman I talked to had me boot from the Snow Leopard disc and perform that action. It worked, but what she had be do seemed to delete my hard drive. Because what did say "Macintosh HD" now said "Untitled 1".
I finished the installation and came to find out that hard drive files were gone.
Of course Apple can't be blamed, because I should've had my computer backed up. (Ehh. I'm still very angry though..)
Anyways, I found a nice program to transfer the music from my iPhone to my Mac, but not one single reliable to one to transfer photos.
HELP! I really need to get these photos (amount: 2,000+) on my computer so I can sync it.

I assume these photos are NOT in your camera roll, correct?
If that's the case:

Of course you realize that the photos you synced to your phone were "optimized" for viewing on the iphone & thus were reduced in size.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos from old laptop to new laptop?

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • 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!

    transfer photes from iphone to mac using icloud ?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac and launch iPhoto.  It will detect the photos and indicate those that are not already in the library so you can import them.
    Be careful in letting iPhoto delete the photos from the iPhone.  It's best to delete them manually from the iPhone so you have more control over what gets deleted.
    Once you have your iPhone and iPhoto setup with Photo Stream to automatically import all new photos taken with your iPhone it'll be a seamless transfer:

  • For windows users,  best way to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone

    I have a friend who just purchased new iphone and she'd like to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone.
    What is the best steps for her to take?
    She has a Windows machine.
    thanks in advance!!!

    Make sure iTunes is loaded on the PC
    If all she wants are photos, she has to have the photos on her PC, not just on the old phone.  The old iPhone backup doesn't save the actual photos, just the setting pointing to where the photos came from.
    If the photos are on her PC, your should be able to sync them to the new iPhone with the Photos tab in iTunes (after the new phone is plugged in).
    If the photos aren't on her computer, she can copy them from whatever computer has them (assuming she has access to it).

    Hi,
    It is annoying when we lost our contacts on iPhone. So many people want to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer in case of losing them.
    I have tested many programs to transfer my contacts from my iPhone to my computer. And I think a third party program - iPhone Contacts Backup can give you a satisfying answer. So here I recommend it to you.

  • Best way to transfer video between iphone and mac wirelessly?

    Please suggest me the best way to transfer files between mac and iphone wirelessly.Mainly for videos.

    If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

  • Best way to remove photos from iPhone camera roll

    what is the simplest method for removing a LOT of photos from my iPhone 5S camera roll. I am trying not to remove them one at a time.

    So, I am a bit confused.  But, thank you for being succinct.  I appreciate that very much!
    1.  I have imported them to Aperture; so they are on my iMac.
    2. What I do not exactly understand is your next instruction: "your computer should read your iphone as a camera, you can navigate to the folders that contain the picture in your camera roll and select all and delete."
    Could you walk me through that, please?  Just a tiny bit more explaining, and I think I will catch on!
    Many thanks!

  • Best way to organise photos on iphone and mac plus transferring question

    HI all
    sorry if this has been asked before. However what is the best way to set up photos i have taken on my iphone 4 on my iphone. At the moment all photos are in camera roll. Is it possible to set up different photo albums on my iphone?
    Also whats best way to keep the photos on my iphone and also transfer photos on my macbook pro to my iphone. As itunes only gives me a sync option and I believe that only puts certain photos from iphoto to my iphone and may replace photos that are on my iphone already. Also how to transfer photos on my macbook to my iphone. I am sorry if this is such a silly question. But hope someone can help and explain this to me.
    thanks in advance

    You need to import the photos in your camera roll to iPhoto. Treat the camera roll just like you'd treat any digital camera...temporary storage only. You cannot organize photos in the camera roll. Once in iPhoto, you can create various albums, copy whatever photos you want on your phone to these various albums, then select what albums/events you want to sync back to your phone in iTunes.

  • Transfer photos from iphone to mac

    why is it such a pain for a simple thing as transfering fotos from an iphone onto a mac device?
    the easiest solution that i give to my father who is a mac owner? put them on you windows laptop..
    but these are 2 apple devices i hear him say. why is it such a problem to copy paste them . I know there are different ways, to do that
    but apple products are made to be simple and easy to understand , an iphone (ios ) is a good example. yet transfering the fotos that eventually
    fill up the iphone mem to a mac mini or a macbook is not as straight forward as plug in the iphone, open the folder and copy the files from one place to another.
    if windows os can do it , why cant maverik ?

    You are presupposing a complication - you said "copy and paste."
    There are much, much simpler methods.  One that comes to mind is Photo Stream.  If you use Photo Stream, the photos from the iPhone would appear almost immediately on the Mac once the iPhone is in a WiFi area.
