How to import pictures synced on another computer into a macbook?

I previously had a Sony computer and that was where I synced everything. That computer stopped working and I cant access my stored data from that computer. I had backed up the information on my iphone though. I recently got a macbook and I want to back up the pictures from my iphone to my macbook but the albums don't show up on my computer. Help! I searched everywhere and i couldn't find anything that worked!

Assuming that you are referring to pictures that you placed on the phone by using iTunes to sync them from a computer, you will either need to use the Share icon (bottom left when viewing the picture) to send them via text or email or you will need a 3rd party app such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/
If the pictures originated from a camera then went to the computer and then to the phone note that there will be a loss of quality. If you have a backup of the computer that would be a better route to go.

    We currently do not offer batch downloading.
    so, if you don't like to manually ctrl-click 'Download picture', I would give the sharer a call to send you the folder of pics to you by mail ...............
    btw: question is little related to iMovie/video editing, isn't it

  • How to important "sent mail" from another account into Mail?

    I wasn't sure where to put this question because of the way this forum is organized.
    Anyway, here is my problem:
    I woke up thinking I may have forgotten to send an important e-mail yesterday. I thought, "No problem, I won't have to drive all the way to work. I'll just set up Mail on my iMac to use the e-mail account I use at work." It's an SBCGlobal account, so I found most of the information I needed about the mail servers and POP and IMAP and all that stuff that could be termed in a lot more user-friendly language so I don't have a conniption fit trying to figure out what it is I'm doing.
    I finally managed to get it set up to where all of the messages from the inboxes were imported into my Mail app. One big problem: I need to look at the *sent* mail, and if I didn't send the e-mail I thought I needed to, I need to access attachments that I sent to others.
    So how do I important the sent folder from my work e-mail account into Mail?

    I wouldn't doubt it. I work at a small church so we don't have much funding, but we're switching to Gmail. I found an older, unedited print copy of what I was supposed to send and made alterations to that and e-mailed it to the people who needed it. The other thing I was supposed to e-mail isn't essential, I suppose, as it's Sunday's bulletin and everyone will be picking one up tomorrow when they come to church anyway. It's just that I'm fairly new at the position, I love everyone at the church and with whom I work, and I want to do everything right 100% of the time to please them because I'm very Type A. I've been really getting a hang of my job, but it seems there's always one thing that I screw up. I guess I'll get better with experience. And hopefully switching to Gmail, if I do this again, I can just access everything from home.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • I have a new computer and my ipod is already synced to another computer ad when i try to sync my ipod to my new computer, it asked me to erase and sync my ipod what do i do with my pictures?

    i bought my new computer and i downloaded some new music on my computer and i had an ipod that was already synced to another computer. i just want to know how to get my pictures back when i erase and sync my ipod.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.The iPod will then include photos taken by or saved to the iPod.
    - You can also transfer them to the comouter by:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    - If you synced photos synced fro the first computer yu will need a program like TouchCopoy or PhoneView to get then from the iPod to the computer.  You have to do that before the restore discussed above.

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year.  Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one.  How can I correct this?

    Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted.  I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad.  How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

  • How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

    When you plug in the iPad iTunes will want to restore it/wipe it, so if you do not have the apps in your iTunes then you can copy the apps from the iPad to iTunes when plugged in by right clicking the iPad and selecting "transfer purchased..." which copies the purchases into iTunes.
    However as iTunes will only sync to 1 iTunes, it will then want to wipe your iPad, so you need to make sure you have everything in your iTunes that you want back on your iPad.
    This is to stop people taking their iOS device to a friends and then taking their paid songs/video/apps.
    If you still do not have all of the apps in iTunes, you can either download the Apps via the iTunes store or try and find an application that lets you sync from the computer to the iPad and via versa in place of iTunes.

  • My iTunes is suddenly saying both my iPod & iPhone are synced with another computer, which they have not been.

    I recently lost all of the music from my laptop's hard drive, and therefore from i-Tunes.  I still have all of my music on my iPhone (3GS) (and a smaller version on my iPod Touch (3)), however when I try to sync them iTunes says the devices are synced with another computer & the only options I have is to erase the iPhone/iPod & sync with the very little music that has been able to be recovered back into iTunes, or to transfer the purchases.  I have checked the computer is authorised for my iTunes account, and have transferred the purchases back.  I really don't want to have to reload my CDs on when they are all on other devices.
    Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly not recognising devices it did previously, and how I get it to recognise them again?  And most importantly, how I can transfer the music on my iPhone/iPod back into the laptop's iTunes?

    The music was accidentally deleted as I was cleaning up my SafeSync account (like a Cloud) & I unwittingly deleted My Documents & My Music from my hard drive as I did so - these are the only files that were affected.  So no catastrophic issue apart from me not knowing what I'm doing.
    And IT guy performed a recovery for me but was only able to retrieve about 10% of my documents and only 45 songs of the 1700 or so I had.  There is no up to date back up of my computer - trust me I've learnt a lesson there.
    Since then iTunes doesn't recognise my devices as being synced to that computer, but there is no other computer for them to be synced to so I don't understand how this happened or how to fix it.  I understand that my devices aren't back ups, but it seems stupid to lose the 1700 songs I have on my iPhone.  I have transferred the purchases, but the majority of them are songs I've loaded from CDs & obviously it would be a very time consuming process to try to reload all of them - obviously something I would like to avoid if possible.

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

    My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

    Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
    If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.
