How can i transfer my photos from my phone directly onto an external hard drive?

My desktop is full on my macbook pro, so how can i download my photos from my old iphone 3 onto an external hardrive, without putting them on iphoto?

1. Start Image Capture on your MacBook. It may be in LaunchPad under "Other" or you can start it via Spotlight (Command + space bar).
2. Connect your phone to the MacBook. If iPhoto starts automatically, quit iPhoto.
3. At the bottom of the Image Capture window where it says Import To, select Other and then navigate to your external drive.

  • How can I move the photos I have in iPhoto to an external hard drive and use that as my library?

    I bought a new Mac Pro.  My old computers main drive is so bloated that I need to reduce it's size.  I want to move my photos, music and movies to an external hard drive and have iPhoto, iTunes, and iMove access them there.
    How do I do that so it work?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    There are similar options for iMovie and iTunes, but best to check their forums for details.
    Regards

  • How can I recover my files from a My Book Essential 3TB external hard drive?

    The hard drive was no longer showing up on the desktop or Disk Utility even after changing cables and power supplies. So I tried another remedy and took out the hard drive of the Western Digital case and put it in a Rosewill external case. Still no luck. The only thing that shows up on the Disk Utility is what I assume is probably the external case itself but it doesn't detect the hard drive. Are the files recoverable? Will a program like DiskWarrior work? I am a little irked by the price especially if it will not work for my situation. Please help! Thank you!

    How can I transfer some photos from PE11 to be saved on my new IPad? I know I can use Adobe Revel but that relies on an Internet connection. The person I wish to show the photos do not have internet connection.

    You forgot to disconnect your ipod from your icloud account.  (Also from the itunes account?  Otherwise the friend will be buying things on your dime.)
    You need to do this on the ipod:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  The friend can then log in using their account if they wish.

    I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
    what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
    The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
    The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export  --  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive
