How do I transfer pics I've taken on my iPhone to my MacBook?/Backing Up

Hello,
How do I download pics I've taken on my iPhone to my Macbook Pro? I want to download those pics to Facebook, for example. I seem to be able to email the pics from the phone but that's all.
Also, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop via USB, it no longer shows the device in left menu and doesn't seem to automatically download new pics. Something must have gotten turned off that I'm unaware of.
Would also like some info on backing up iPhone and MacBook. Someone told me to upgrade to latest operating system to make use of the Cloud properly for the laptop. I'm new to Apple and need more education, though I love both of my devices immensely.
The iPhone backs up to the Cloud it seems but I seem to have to do that manually. I would like both my iPhone and laptop to back up automatically if possible because I don't want to lose any information. What do you suggest? To be safe would you suggest the Cloud and an external back up device as well?
Thanks,
Susan

Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. With a Mac, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
Also, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop via USB, it no longer shows the device in left menu and doesn't seem to automatically download new pics. Something must have gotten turned off that I'm unaware of.
In iTunes?
iTunes has never handled the import of photos/videos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll. Check this link if your iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes when connected to your Mac.

  • How to i transfer pics from my iMac to my iPhone 6 plus

    Can it be done? i have a boat load of pics i want on my iPhone

    If you also sync your phone on that same iMac, connect the phone and once the sync completes, select your device (iPhone) and click on Photos to the upper right. There you will see the options to sync from iPhoto or a folder. Hopefully you can take it from there.

  • How do I transfer an audio book purchased on my iphone to my MacBook?

    I have the same Apple ID for both devices. When I go to iTunes on the labtop I can locate the same audio book but it appears as though I am purchasing it again. My understanding is that I can share my iTunes content across 3 devices. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Napa Mac User

    You should be able to go to purchases in iTunes and download it from there. There is also a setting for automatically downloading purchases made on other devices: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

  • How can i transfer pics

    How could I transfer pics in camera roll and albums to my pc.?
    I already tried the steps to improt photos, BUT i only was able to transfer the pics in camera roll!!!!!!!  How can i transfer the other 2 albums from phone to pc?

    You will have to get them from the backup of your old computer. As has been said several times already in this thread, EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA ROLL, PHOTO SYNC FOR PHOTO ALBUMS IS ONE WAY ONLY, FROM COMPUTER TO IPHONE. What part of this do you not understand?
    There are commercial programs that run on your computer that can copy the photos in the albums to your computer. They are not endorsed by Apple, and they are not free. However, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the one in the iPhone the quality will not be as good as the originals, because iTunes compresses and shrinks photos when transferring them to the iPhone.

  • How do I transfer pics from my iphone 4 to desk computer?

    How do I transfer pics from iPhone 4 to desk computer?

    You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
    Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
    Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
    Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
    When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
    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.
    If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, 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.
    If you have Aperture, you can use it to import your photos. See the Aperture User Guide for more information.

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
    Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
    You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
    If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
    If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
    Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.

    got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

    Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
    You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.
