How does iPhoto import pictures from iPhone photo stream?

Sorry for so basic a question, but I thought I understood how this was working (in iOS 7 and this version of iPhoto 9.6) But now, in Yosemite, and iOS 8, I am not sure what is occurring.
My intent is to take pictures on the phone, and when I cable-sync with my iMac, I want to d/l and keep all of the new photos permanently in iPhoto. I have then gone to Image Capture, brought down a 2nd backup copy, and deleted them off the phone. This would leave me with an empty Camera Roll, but with 1,000 recent photos available on my phone, via the Photo Stream.
I've used iPhoto for years, and have a large number of pictures there. Recently, with the advent of the Photo Stream, I'm automatically getting Events added (and added to) like November Photo Stream in iPhoto, which has worked fine.
However, the last few times in iPhoto, I'm getting random photos showing up as unsynced... ones which should have been brought in previously. And today when I went to clear the photos off the phone in Image Capture it told me I had 2,400 pictures.
If someone could give me (or point me to) a primer on how this is now supposed to behave, I'd appreciate it. I'm afraid that Apple is structuring all of this toward iCloud-photo storage when they release Photos, and that will not work for me. I need to keep my pictures locally, although the Stream has been handy. I need to be sure I'm doing this in a reasonable way... the method I'm using doesn't seem to be working very well. Thanks again, for all advice.

If you go to the Photo App, then select photo stream, you can delete any of them by selecting the edit button and tapping on them. A delete button or trash can should appear. Excuse me for being a little vague...ive been on iOS 7 for a while now...

How do I get my photos in photo stream onto my pc?

There are a few of options:
Set up iCloud on your PC, sign into your account and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html (requires Vista SP2 or higher);
Save them to your camera roll on your iOS device, then import them to your PC using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
On your iOS device you can add them to a shared stream with the public website option enabled and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here:http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99. This option will give you a link to view your shared photos on the web from your computer browser.

Connect to two devices with the supplied lightning/USB cable and ITunes will launch on your Mac .
In the left hand pane your iPhone name will show up under devices.
Click on this to open the IPhone control panel in the main iTunes browser window.
At the top you will see a series of radio buttons
Summary Info Apps Music Movies TV Shows Books Photos
Click on Photos
Put tick on sync photos with iPhoto (Default you can also choose Aperture if you buy this)
In the panel below you can choose to sync All libraries or Selected events- this opens an inspector panel displaying the folders as they appear in iPhoto (Aperture) with tick boxes to select differing collections/images
Now click the apply button in the bottom right corner and your choosen images sync with to your iPhone.

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 can I import pictures from my computer to iTunes without losing my iPhone pictures?

Hey
I'm wondering how I can import pictures from iTunes to my iPhone. I have taken pictures with a camera, not my iPhone camera. And I got the pictures on my computer, just don't know how to import them to my itunes and then to my iPhone. And I also don't want to lose all my iPhone pictures in my camera roll when I do this.
Thanks

Camera Roll is the folder on your iPhone which kept all the photos taken from your iPhone Camera or Photos received and saved from your email attachments. They will remain in that folder until you delete them. You may, however, import these photos to your Computer if you want to.
Refer to this article:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Now the other way round, if you want your Photos from your Computer(whether it's taken from other Digital camera or photos already on your computer) to be transferred to iPhone, you have to sync them over like I mentioned in the first reply.

"Import GPS from iPhone photos" does not work with iPhone 4

I have not been able to get A3's "Import GPS from iPhone photos" to work with my iPhone 4, I get an empty list of photos. A3 is able to import photos from iPhoto 4 without any problems but I'm not able to get the GPS data.
I'm not sure if it is an iPhone 4 or iOS4 issue, I tried my old iPhone 2G and "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is working fine.

Where are you seeing this "Import GPS from iPhone" option?? I just tried importing a picture directly from my iPhone ,and it correctly had its place marked on the Places map. Am I misunderstanding what you all are trying to do??

How do i get pictures from iphone to mac?

If you want your photos to end up in iPhoto, just do a normal sync. If you don't want to use iPhoto, or if you just want to put your phone photos in a normal visible folder on the desktop, luckily when you plug in the iPhone a Mac sees it like a camera or card reader. This means the iPhone will show up in common applications that have an import-from-camera feature. I've copied photos off my iPhone using Apple Image Capture, PhoneView, and Adobe Lightroom, for example.

If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

i can't tell if my question is the same, or slightly different, but this thread seems closest to my question so i will ask it here so as to not duplicate:
on my iphone 6 i have icloud photos beta on. in iphoto on my computer, i have photostream on, but auto import off. so, the only thing i have for photo stream photos is "icloud" under the shared heading.
when i delete a photo from the icloud section in photo, it does not delete it from the photos beta app in beta.icloud.com. if i had auto import turned on, i would think this would be normal functioning with respect to the actual events that get imported, but since i have it turned off and am working with photostream itself i would have thought it would delete from the photos app on the website when i delete it from the stream in iphoto.
similarly, deleting a photo from the photos app on the icloud website does not delete it from the iphoto photostream if i had already opened iphoto and thus the album had already been updated (though if i delete the photo from the beta website before opening iphoto, it won't show up in iphoto since it was deleted from photostream before iphoto updated from photostream).
so, as it stands - my iphoto only sort of syncs with photostream. is everyone experiencing this? i'll be honest - i still don't get the new icloud drive and photos, so maybe the issue i am having is exactly what the photos app for osx is intended to correct when it comes out next year. or am i just wrong in how i think the syncing is supposed to function?

Another ooption is to use a neat little gadget called an i-Flashdrive.
It can be used to transfer pictures between IOS devices. I recently got one from Amazon and it allows me to quickly and conveniently transfer pictures between my partner's and my iPhones and iPads.

One way is to import them to your computer first as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Then sync the selected photos to the other device using iTunes as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
An easier way, that I haven't tried is via iCloud: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.
