How do I Transfer my photo albums on my iPhone 5 over to my Macbook Air?

When i connect my phone to my macbook air, the photos don't automatically sync, neither do the music, notes or contacts!? Is anybody else having the same problems as me or can anyone help mee?

A couple of comments:
1) Since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) contacts (and calendars) are no longer synced via connecting to a Mac. It used to be a part of a sync via iTunes but that is no longer the case. Contacts and calendars are now synced with a Mac via iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
2) Photo transfer from the phone to a Mac is not and has not previously been part of a sync and does not involve iTunes. That is an import: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and can either use iPhoto or Image Capture. One of them can be set to open automatically if your Mac is recognizing that a phone or camera has been attached. Is that not happening?
3) I can't tell from your post whether the issue is that either a) the Mac, iTunes, or both is simply not recognizing that you have connected your phone or b) the Mac recognizes it but an iTunes sync doesn't automatically start. If you start iTunes manually with the phone connected, does iTunes recognize it then?

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

  • How do I delete downloaded photo albums from my iPhone 4 if I don't have the original computer?

    My old computer crashed causing me to lose everything. I have a photo album on my iPhone that I would like to get rid of but i can't seem to figure out how to on my new computer. Is it possible to get rid of that album without factory resetting my phone and losing everything?

    Try this (not 100% sure it will work, though.)
    Transfer all your photos from the device to your computer:
    Then, do an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Erase all content & settings.
    Restore from the backup.

  • How do I transfer my pdf files from my ipad ibooks to my new macbook air?

    Is there anyone who might help me to transfer my pdf saved in my ipad 3 to my new macbook air? Thank you.

    It should transfer them all, I don't have as many as that on my devices but it's always copied them all.
    Where are you seeing the 103 e.g. if the iBooks app on Mavericks then are you looking at the List or All Books view or view Collections ?
    You could try disconnecting it and rebooting both your Mac and iPad and then retry it and see if they all then copy over.

  • How do I transfer ONE photo album & nothing else?

    I want to download one photo album from iPhoto without losing the music & videos I already have in my iPod. I don't want to touch anything else, just download ONE album, but it seems that my iPod will automatically (even tho I have chosen manual controls) take everything out of my iPod & replace it with my iTunes Library - which has changed. Do I have to have my iTunes Library & video library as I want it in my iTunes - which would take some amount of work! Really appreciate help here.

    hae you taken a look at this?

  • HT1229 How can you transfer the  photo library from  an iphone to a mac.

    I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc.  Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone.  The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.

  • HT4236 How can you create a photo Album on your iPhone and import that Album onto your computer (in my case a PC)?  It appears you can only sync from the computer to the iPhone, which is the opposite direction of what's desired in this case.

    It appears that sync'ingis pretty much one way, from the desktop to the device. If you create a folder on the desktop that is synced through iTunes with the iPhone, that folder appears as an Album in Pictures on the device.  But on the device you cannot add photos to that synced Album, so there is no way to use the desktop-based Album as an evolving target for new pictures on the phone, unless you do all the additions on the desktop software. 
    This really isn't "syncing".
    Further, if you create a new Album on the iPhone, it doesn't appear in the sync'ed folders on the desktop.
    The configuration for this discussion is iTunes 11 on Windows PC, iPhone 4S, and Windows Photo Gallery for picture editing on the PC.
    I'd like to have Albums and PC-based Picture Folders truly sync'ed.  Am I missing something or is this truly an iTunes Photo Sync'ing deficiency?

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • How do I get synced photo albums transferred from iphone to my mac?

    I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Macbook and now that I have replaced the drive I would like to recover the pictures on my iphone.
    I was able to get the camera roll photos using image capture but I am unable to get the photo albums that were synced from my previous iphoto library.  My iPhone 4S is jailbroken so I could go in via SSH but the problem is that I cannot even locate the photos.
    Is there a way to get those photos back onto my Macbook? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Macbook 3,1 OS 10.6.8
    iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 (jailbroken)

    The photos "synched" from a computer to your iPhone aren't really the original photos.  They're low resolution thumbnails suitable for display on the phone, but not practical for anything else.  If you didn't bother to save the original photos before replacing your computer's hard drive, your pictures are gone.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an external drive to my new macbook air?

    I have an 8 year old MacBook Pro that has a small hard drive.  So 8 years ago I put all my songs (35GB) on an external drive.  I just bought a MacBook Air that has 256 GB of space and would like to transfer all my songs, movies, etc. to it and stop using the old hard drive.  Can anyone help me with how to do this?  Thanks.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Music/ as the folder's path, and drag the entire iTunes library, including the database files, to it.
    Alternatively, you can drag the entire library to any location on the internal drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and choose it.
    If you only put the songs and not the database files on the external drive, drag it to the internal drive and from there to the library in the open iTunes application window.
