How do I share pictures from my iphone to macbook?

I recently upgraded my macbook to run snow lion so that I could have pictures on iphone and other things synced automatically between the two devices. 
I thought it would start doing right away ... but has not.   What needs to be turned on?

You need to be running either Lion or Mountain Lion on the computer. Not sure which iOS you need on the iPhone, but if it has iCloud in the settings, then it's OK. Enable photostream in the iCloud preferences on both devices. On the computer, open iPhoto and go to iPhoto preferences. Select the photostream tab and enable photostream in it. You can also select automatic uploads and downloads there. Once enabled, you have 30 days after taking pictures on the iphone to open up iPhoto. When you open iPhoto, it will automatically import the pictures from photostream to iPhoto if you have that enabled, or you will have to do it manually if you don't.
Also, any photos new photos you put on the Mac from other sources can or will be uploaded to photostream which can be viewed on the iPhone.

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to use the Windows camera wizard or just copy them via windows explorer : photos to PC.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    If you mean photo stream then see the photo stream FAQ on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

    This is very vague.
    If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

    How do I move pictures from one iphone to another?

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.

    How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

    If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again.  They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

    How do I access pictures from my iPhone saved in iCloud in a computer so that I can see & delete some of them from iCloud to free up the free 5GB?.

    What Mac model do you have? What system version and iPhoto version are you running?  Do you meet these requirements:
    The following is for this Apple document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
    Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
    You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
    If you do then sign in to the same iCloud account that's on your iPhone on your Mac via the System/iCloud Preference pane as shown in this screenshot:
    Next setup iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane as shown in this screenshot:
    The photos on your iPhone must be in it's Photo Stream so make sure the iPhone has enabled Photo Stream as shown below:
    Now you can select a photo in the Photo Stream section of iPhoto and control-click on it to delete it:

    How can I download pictures from my IPhone to my IPad ? Thanks

    The iPhone should appear to the computer as any other digital camera would. Photos are not extracted using iTunes. You need to use your photo management program.
    Refer to your Windows user manual or help files.
