Downloading photos from iPhone to computer

Please can anyone advise me how to download the images taken on my iPhone camera to my laptop?

iPhoto is the way to go here.
But when I want to use just one (or not that many) photos from my library on the go and cant sync my iPhone right away, I always send the photo to myself per email. A little low tech, but it does the trick. This way sharing or using photos on other peoples computers works just fine.

  • Can not download photos from iphone to computer or mobile me

    i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer thru itunes at all i went to the local at&t store but instead they convinced me that buying mobile me would automatically sync my photos and still havent figured that out please help so frusturated..............

    Hi, Kortiz - I think your question was -"i havent been able to download my pictures from my iphone to my computer . . . please help so frusturated.............. "
    Excuse the babble as this is written quickly but I too just was setting up my iPhone 3GS with to get test photos I shot today onto my MAC computer, and I was "frusturated" TOO! I have a deep knowledge of Apple products, a MobileMe acct and I own Aperture, a wonderfully powerful program (expensive also, but also have APPL stock, so I balance that with positive returns) - but spent way over an hour trying to sleuth it out - only then turned to the internet to find others were in the same position.
    I am a die-hard Apple Supporter, but finding a way to transfer 30 photos was far from intuitive, (I think I could only email-upload 5 at a time) and interestingly the "manual" as well as a "Dummies" book someone leant me as a joke do not address the process properly - they focus on a process to upload TO your iPhone - as does the answer from k8 below - why is this?! The answer was that you have to have an updated version of iPhoto or Aperture and figure it out from there (not obvious either), but even Aperture took more steps than were needed for what SHOULD be a simple transfer to the folder of your choice.
    There is no doubt that Apple wants us all to spend a lot of time around the iTunes money machine (again, fine with me, bought stock when it was $17+ share) but why do iPhone "DEVICES" show up only in iTunes and not as part of a transparent system functionality? Most cameras and flash memory just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from a DEVICE to a PHOTO folder (or any other folder for that matter).
    WHY have the design and engineering teams made it so convoluted for some of these issues when they have thought out FAR more complex actions so elegantly?
    So, here are some questions I have in return if any APPLE techs are out there - (as I have not received a non "hedgy" answer from anyone of the "genius" employees)
    The iPhone does not come up on the desktop as a "DEVICE"
    iPhoto therefore cannot "IMPORT" the photos.
    Wouldn't this make sence based on the "way" we do other actions on the MAC (or eek -PC)?
    Someone in this forum answered " iTunes doesn't transfer photos from the camera roll to your computer. Get them as you would from any digital camera. "
    Q: Why not use ONE program to deal with receipt from as well as transfer to the base computer?
    Q: "Get them as you would from any digital camera" I WISH!!! Why do even SONY cameras just pop up as a folder on the Macintosh desktop allowing a SIMPLE "drag and Drop" copy from device to PHOTO folder?
    AND WHY SHOULD THIS STATEMENT BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE?:
    "iTunes will only sync photos from your computer to the photo album on your phone. The previous post covers that."
    Q: Although we have learned since the early OSX days Apple no longer makes things to purely benefit the user without putting profits first and drawing continuing blood or cash second for the long term (just an observance) how can this issue be part of the grand plan for world domination? Isn't there some elegant behind the scenes way of allowing downloads as well as uploads from iTunes without leaving it?
    Best, Tom

  • How to download photos from iPhone to computer?

    Thanks for your help.

    If you mean Camera Roll (pics taken with iphone), then you import them the same way you would from any digital camera (e.g. camera and scanner wizard, photoshop, iphoto aperture, etc.).
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    If you mean photo gallery (photos synced to iphone from your computer), then you can't. You can e-mail them to yourself (reduced quality pics).

  • How do I download photos from iPhone 4 to Samsung laptop.

    How do I download photos from iPhone 4 to Samsung laptop.

    What version of Windows? In Windows 7 an iPhone shows up as a digital camera in the Computer section of the Start menu and you can import the photos from there. I'm not sure if it is the same in Windows 8 but it wouldn't hurt to check.

  • Transferring photos from iPhone to computer

    I have never had a problem with getting my photos onto my computer untill now. I want my photos on my computer but when I plug my USB in it does nothing. Usually I get an option to transfer or copy my photos. But now even when it is plugged in it does not give me that option. HELP! I want my photos on my computer!

    As I have already specified earlier, my iPhone 3G is not syncing with my computer/ itune. Tried the option of Downloading photos from iphone directly by default "Windows picture & fax viewer". This programme can only fetch the photos from camera roll - but abruptly stops and exits without warning while attempting to delete photos from the phone - It seen that iphone has some kind of firewall that do not allow any programme to delete any thing from it's directory. One of my freinds has suggested to "Jailbreak" my phone - I did not like his idea to tamper with my expensive camera. Kindly help.

  • Trouble downloading photos from iPhone to iMac.  Error message says I need to free up space on Startup Disc

    After clicking "Download," the iMac seems to download photos from iPhone.  Eventually, I get message that I need to free up space on Startup Disc by deleting files.  What to do?

    You are in a very dangerous situation and you need to fix it now.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • Missing iphoto pics after downloading photos from iphone

    I downloaded photos from iphone to iphoto and now the only photos that appear in the iphoto library are the ones I just downloaded from the iphone, not any of the earlier ones. There is only one iphoto library to open.  I was able to get all of the earlier photos back by option clicking the library but now the ones from iphoto are missing, despite there only being one iphoto library to open.  How do I unite them?

    This is likely the case.  The only time I see double libraries is when I "Show package contents".  Then there is a "library" (which has all the pics) and a library.photo and a library6.photo.  Both look exactly the same as the real photo library but neither can be opened. 
    I can retake the pictures - it's only 20 or so now and recent too - I just wish I knew what had happened so that it wouldn't happen again!
    Thanks for all of the help!

  • How to download music from iphone to computer

    How do I download music from iphone to computer/itunes

    Wjosten ... sorry to push in to this discussion ... but I have a related music question ... and thought you might be able to answer.
    I know iOS does not enable audio files to be attached to text messages.  I assume this is to prevent illegal sharing of songs.  But who is actually saying 'no.'   Is it the music owners (studios and publishers) who fear they will lose control of copyrighted songs (a la Napster)?  Or is it Apple protecting the iTunes business.  Or both.  I wouldn't blame either ... they are just protecting their IP.  I'm just curious.  I wonder if the music companies suddenly decided to allow some kind of music file sharing via text messages ... would Apple (and Google) go along and enable such sharing on smartphones and devices ??

    As stated above, you're only able to sync photos taken with the iPhone's camera.
    I'm not sure if that application works flawlessly with the iPhone. Try using Scanner and Camera Wizard. It seems to work well on Win XP. Go to the Start menu> All Programs> Accessories> Scanner and Camera Wizard.

  • Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Yeah, I have this problem too.  Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
    Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad.  Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad.  I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
    But that's a terrible workaround.  I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.
