Can I copy photos from my iPhone back onto my laptop?

I had a diaster occur. The hard drive on my laptop, that had almost 10 years worth of photo's, crashed and apparently cannot be retrieved from the hard drive. I have all these photo's on my iPhone and I cannot figure out how I can copy or download these back onto my laptop. Is it possible? The majority of these photo's were taken with a standard digital camera and there is some video too. Please help!

You had 10 year's worth of content that was important to you, and you never backed it up?
There is no official way to get photos off the iPhone short of emailing them. There are some 3rd party apps that will copy files off an iPhone (use Google), but remember that the photos are optimized for the iPhone and will have lower resolution than the original photos that you have lost.

  • How do I copy photos from my computer back onto my SD memory card?

    I have saved my photos from my camera SD memory card into iphoto. I then deleted the photos from my SD card. Now I want to copy some of these photos back onto the SD card. What are the steps to copy photos from my computer back onto my SD card? (One reason I want to do this is so I can play some of them on my digital photo frame).

    Select the photos in iPhoto and export them in the size you want for your frame to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export)
    Mount the card to the desktop (in your camera if it mounts - otherwise in a USB card reader) and drag the photos form the desktop folder to the card

    Mac OS X 10.7.3 supports iCloud:

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

  • How can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself

    how can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself, and I thought they would be in icloud but I can't find them

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.

  • I upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto?

    i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.

    I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
    Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit.

  • Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

    I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
    It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
    I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
    Please help, somebody.

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

    How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

    If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
    You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

  • I have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    i have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The photo sync is one way -  computer to iphone.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
