How do I transfer photos from my iPhone 4S directly to an external drive?

Hi.  I can't figure out how to transfer my photos from my iPhone 4S to an external drive without first putting them into iPhoto.  I have zero space on my computer and am now out of storage on my phone too.  I can't see my phone under Devices in Finder and I also don't seem to have the Application Image Capture.  These are all the suggestions that I've read elsewhere in other posts, but nothing has been helpful.
Please let me know if you have done this before or know what to do. 
Thanks

You can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
Click Options.
Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
Click OK.
Click Download All.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do i transfer photos from my iphone to icloud to free up space?

    How do I transfer photos from my iphone to the icloud so I can free up space?

    You can't use iCloud to store your photos in order to free up space on your phone.  The only photos in iCloud other than the ones stored in your backup are photo stream photos.   And when you use photo stream your photo stream photos will still be stored on your phone.  In other words, you can't post your photos in iCloud and view them from there without having them stored on your phone.  There are many other photo hosting services that provide this (such as Flikr, Smugmug, Picassa and others).

  • How do we transfer photos from our iPhone to our larger 32g iPad mini while travelling?

    How do we transfer photos from our iPhone to our larger capacity iPad while travelling ?
    ANY INFO please,

    One way would be via a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com  One advantage of that is that it claims to be able to transfer via Bluetooth so if you wouldn't have to find free wi-fi or use a lot of cellular data while traveling. PhotoSync seems to have a good reputation but there are probably other similar 3rd party apps.

  • How do I transfer photos from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 3 via Bluetooth?

    I want to transfer photos from my iPhone 4 that is still running on iOS6, to my iPad 3gen that's running on iOS7. How do I do it? Do I need to download an app to facilitate the transfer and if so, which is the best app to use?

    Carolyn,
    Once again, I see you're giving out false information. Please refrain from replying to threads where you do not know the answer. It doesn't help anyone.
    Photos CAN be transferred between iOS devices via Bluetooth. There are dozens of apps in the AppStore for doing just that. Just search the AppStore for "bluetooth photo" to find them.
