How to share photos between macbook air and iphone5s

What is the easiest way to transfer photos from my iphone 5s to my macbook air, wirelessly.  I have wifi in the house and not really sure how to use the icloud.  Thoughts?  Thank you so much.

Hi there Braeth,
There are a couple of ways of accomplishing this. You can either sync them directly to your computer via iTunes, or use iCloud to sync your photos via PhotoStream. I have linked some resources below for how to get everything set up.

  • How to unsync messages between macbook air and my iPhone

    I started using the messages on my macbook air. Then I accidentally used the same Apple id for my Iphone. Now what ever messages I recieve on my macbook I also get on my phone. Is there a way I can unsync the two so that I can only get the messages on my macbook?

    Follow the instructions under the heading "How to unlink a phone number" on this page.

  • How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

    I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad.  I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • Can you give me some ideas on which to buy between macbook air and macbook pro?

         I am going to start another year in college very soon and I need a laptop to handle my school work or projects. I don't know what to choose between Macbook Air 13" (2013) and Macbook Pro 13" (RAM 8GB - Not Retina Display). Here are what I need to do on computer:
         - Long time surfing through the internet.
         - Social network : Facebook, Instagram, Line, Skype ....
         - Watching movies online (mayb more than 3-4 hours)
         - Typing documents or making slide shows.
         - A lot of documents, HD videos/movies, photos and music.
         - Using some graphic/plan design programs such as CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCad and so on. (Monthly but I still have to use it.)
         - Games are no needed cuz m not a gamer.
         That's all or maybe more, but I can't think of right now. My money is around 1500$. If you guys think I might need Air, should I configure it to match my expectations? I hope to having some good ideas from you. Thanks in advanced.

    Ive got BOTH the Pro and AIr youre interested in, for what YOU say you want, Id get the Air.
    Since you said you were only going to "some graphic/plan design programs", the Air is perfect for moderate Photo editing.
    and you said no games.
    Air has fewer parts, only one moving part (the fan), lite as an Ipad (almost) but a full powered computer.
    No HD heads to crash, fewer parts = simplicity = less to fault.  
    Runs cooler than anything else out there (which = durability).  Heat is a killer on a scale of 10X over that of accidents.
    Pack around a regular notebook around about 20 days, then an Air, .....after that the standard laptops stays at home.    
    Air is the only Mac that has Haswell, 802ac wifi, and incredible 12hr. batt life in 13" I5.
    Get the 13" much longer battery life, and the screen real estate is better, Ive owned both 11" and 13".     13" also has an SD card slot the 11" doesnt have.

    NAS storage, or networked together,  Airport Extreme
    with Airport Extreme, you can have an attached HD on the back that any MAC on the network can read / write to
    thats what I do, easy.
    attach a HD on the back of your Airport Extreme, put files, etc etc on it for any Mac or network to use / read / write to.
    Also I store movies on it that I can watch WIFI on my Macbook Air, or ipads
    what fun.

  • Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

    I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

    I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
    As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

  • Can i remotely share files between macbook pro and iMac

    Want to know if I can do remote file sharing between macbook pro and imac.

    Yes, absolutely. She can access her iMac from anywhere that has an Internet connection. If Screen Sharing is enabled, she can log in and use it as if she were seated at the iMac.
    Provided the iMac's router supports the Bonjour Sleep Proxy (obviously all Apple AirPort Base Stations do), the iMac can even be asleep, and BTMM will wake it upon the router receiving a request to access the iMac.
    The speed of her available Internet connection will be a limiting factor. Slower connections will be a bit laggy.
    Her iMac will appear in a Finder Sidebar, under "Shared".

  • Sharing content between macbook air and imac

    Hi there,
    I appreciate this is a naiive question but i want to share content from my imac to my macbook air (music and photos not on my stream). Everything (calendars etc.) is all synched up using the cloud but can I simply connect my macbook air to my imac and drag away?
    That seems too simple!

    If you want to share just a few gigabyte of data and aren't concerned about putting stuff in the cloud, consider DropBox. Or....
    1) Open System Preferences on both computers & select the Sharing tab
    2) In the left side of the dialog box there's a list of sharing services. Turn on File Sharing (I also use Screen Sharing which lets me control one Mac with the other. Convenient at times) In the top give each computer a meaningful name if you haven't already.
    3) Give the computer a minute or two and then from one computer (doesn't matter which) open a Finder window and look under the shared are of the sidebar. (You may need to turn on the shared devices in the Finder preferences)
    4) in the dialog box enter the user name and password for the computer you are trying to share not the computer you are logging in from.
    5) you'll get a window of your user directory and from there you can find the data you want to copy onto your computer. You can also copy data from the computer you are using onto the computer you are sharing.

  • Facetime between MacBook Air and iPad2 worked only one time, then hasn't worked since..

    My husband and I are trying to use Facetime since we are living apart this summer.  It worked once before I left town, but hasn't worked since then.
    I have a MacBook Air, OSX 10.6.7
    He has an iPad 2
    Both have Facetime set up.  We share the apple Id between the machines, but the apple id has been deleted as a contact email from the iPad. 
    The Air can call the iPad; but when my husband tried to accept the call, it just keeps saying "connecting" or something like this.  The call doesn't go thru.
    The iPad cannot seem to reach the Air (I don't see that the iPad has called me).
    I am often using a university wifi system, so i thought firewalling might be a problem, but my roommate doesn't have an issue with it for her facetime (she is using an iPad).
    Any ideas?

    Update:  Above roommate just tried Facetime with me (she has an iPad).  The exact same thing happened as with my husband...my call to her showed on her iPad but the call didn't connect.  Her call to me didn't even show up on my machine.  So, it appears to be an issue with my MacBook Air...

  • IMessage stopped syncing between MacBook Air and iPhone 5

    Hello,
    Until the weekend my iMessages synced between iphone and MacBook Air, but from Monday I have been sending and receiving iMessgaes from my phone which never arrive at the MacBook.  I didn't get the iOS upgrade till yesterday so it's not that, and haven't knowingly made any other changes over the weekend.  I've checked both setups and both are syncing using my phone number plus 3 email addresses.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix it please?

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Sign out on the iPhone
    Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

  • Airdrop Problem between Macbook Air and iPhone 5

    You can use "photostream" in iCloud, but the photos will only stay a certain period of time in the cloud.

    All other syncing and erasing of synced pictures has to go via iTunes, only photos taken with the iPod can be deleted inside the camera roll.
