If I share a photo on airdrop from my Mac, how do I view it from my phone?

AirDrop on your Mac only communicates to other OS X devices (Macs).  It does not communicate to iPhone.
Similarly AirDrop on iPhone only communicates to other iOS devices.  It does not communicate to Macs.

    Did it...  When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it!  Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

  • HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

    How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Sometimes it's successful the second time.  You could also try restoring an older backup.  iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

    Hello Crosso10
    As long as you have iCloud Control Panel installed on your computer, they should show up in your Pictures folder under My Photo Stream.

  • How to upload photos and videos from Optimize Phone Storage mode.

    I switched to Optimize Phone Storage (instead of Download and Save Originals) in photo settings. I want to transfer all of my photos and videos from my phone to my macbook, but they don't show up when I plug in my phone. If I switch back to Download and Save, it looks like more space is used on my phone (so I assume it has downloaded the photos and videos that were being stored online), but they still don't show up when I plug my phone in!

    It allows you to copy the photos from a digital camera or iPhone to a folder on your Mac. You can see the photos on your device and select those you want to copy.
    If this works, you can use iPhoto to import the pictures from that folder afterwards.
    Transfer images, video clips, and MP3 sounds to your computer from many cameras and devices that contain a camera, such as your iPhone. Once you transfer the items, you can delete them from the device.
    Connect your device to your computer, then turn the device on.If the device is locked with a passcode, enter it.
    In Image Capture, select the device in the Devices list.
    Use the buttons at the bottom of the Image Capture window to view the thumbnails as a list or as icons to change the size of the thumbnails, or to rotate or delete images.
    From the Import To pop-up menu, choose where to save the images or which app to use to open the image.
    To import only some of the photos, select those photos, then click Import. To import all the photos, click Import All.Choose AutoImporter from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu to transfer images from a device to your computer whenever you connect it to your computer.
    Select “Delete after Import” to remove the items from the device after transferring them to your computer. You can also select individual items on your device, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

    i deleted a ton of photos and videos from my phone but it's still telling me iCloud won't back up because there is not enough storage available.  how do i get around this?

    The Storage space its referring to is on iCloud. How much iCloud space is left, and how much space is your iPhone using?
    iCloud storage space and the iPhone's physical storage space are 2 different things.

  • I just imported photos from my iPhone 4 and iPhoto crashed while finishing import and those photos are gone from my phone and computer

    I just tried to import photos form my iPhone 4 to iPhoto...it seemed to get all the way to the end and then iPhoto wasn't responding in the
    "finishing import" stage. I had already chosen (for the first time ever because I didn't trust it) to delete the photos from my phone. I seems to have imported some (though I can't find them) and deleted them from my iphone...so the import wasn't complete but there are photos missing from both my comp
    and the phone. CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND THEM?  I restarted my computer and then launched iPhoto holding down command and option buttons and chose to "rebuild library from automatic backup". I still can't find them.
    help?

    hi rosanne,

  • Dowloading photos useing Bluetooth from Cell phone

    I have a Samsung SCH a870, and would like to transfer pictures from onto a MacBook Pro using Bluetooth and iPhoto from a recent trip to Italy. The phone and Mac appeared to be paired and configured. Still iPhoto does not appear able to pick up the phone and transfer pics via Bluetooth.
    Device Name: SCH-A870
    Device Address: 00-17-e4-xx-xx-xx
    Device Type: Phone
    **Device Services: Voice Gateway, AUDIO Gateway, Dial-up Networking**
    Paired: Yes
    Configured: Yes
    Favorite: Yes
    Connected: No
    Device services list doesn't look promising. It's puzzling that the devices aren't listed as connected.
    Many thanks,
    John L

    John,
    I don't think you can directly import from your phone into iPhoto. You will need to put the phone photos into a folder somewhere (such as your desktop) and import that folder into iPhoto.
    However, that 'Not connected' item is not reassuring. You may have a problem similar to mine, with my LG phone. I can get photos FROM my Mac TO the phone, but not the other direction. They are obviously connected correctly, and I can 'send' images to the phone. When I try to 'get' the images from the phone, the connection is severed.
    From what I could tell on LG sites and one of the BlueTooth ones here, certain LG phones just won't transfer their images.
    The only way I have found to get photos from my cell phone is to email them to myself.

  • Help transferring photos and video from broke phone!!!!

    I have a Siii that was recently dropped in the toilet by my 2 year old. I am trying to get my pictures and video off of it. My screen doesn't let me swipe it. I have been using svoice to make calls and texts till my new devices comes in from Asurion. I have tried connecting it through usb on both my window laptop and mac. It will not read it. I tried Kies air but it won't pick up my device!!! If I can't do this can I take it in to get Verizon to pull all the photos and videos off of it?

        I know its frustrating having a phone get water damage Helpbrokenphone! I know it can be more frustrating not to be able to get pictures & videos from it. Ann154 gave a great tip! Its a good idea to let your phone sit in uncooked rice for a few hours, or even a day. Its best to remove back, battery, & SD card, place them all in rice separately. This could help, but its not guaranteed. Also, does the phone have a removable SD card with the media on it? If so, you may be able to retrieve it by putting into another phone, or PC to transfer data. Are you able to view any of your pictures on the phone? If so, you may be able to take into store to transfer, but its best to call local store to see if they can. For closest store, please select following link: http://bit.ly/3SdsA The phone number will also be provided so you can call ahead.

  • How do I check that my photos have synced from my phone to my mac air?

    I've not backed up my phone in ages so I backed it up and tried to sync a new playlist to it, then it came up saying "this iPhone is synced to another iTunes" and that I need to completely  erase my phone to be able to put one playlist on it.... I've had my mac over a year and my phone for maybe 9 months and it has never been plunged into another laptop or mac?
    Is there anyway of bypassing the "erase everything" button?
    I dont trust it because overtime this happens I lose a year of photos and all my music I've bought and its really annoying.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks xx

    Hello Fudge94,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand your concern for you photos when trying to sync or backup to your computer and you are given the prompt to erase your device. To ensure that your photos are stored in your Mac, please follow the instructions in the attached article to import your photos into iPhoto. This process does not use iTunes and will not erase your iPhone. You will be given to keep the photos on your iPhone or delete them after import, however. Please let me know if you have further questions about this process.

  • I want to sync  my photo and video from my phone

    I heard I have to go thru i-tunes to sync my photos from my camera since I wasn't set up on i-cloud before I took them. How exactly do I do this? Do I go to i-tunes on my i-pad first? Please advise. Thx!

    Hey there mark8!
    I have an article here for you that can describe the whole process. You will want to first import the photos into your computer. An article about that process can be found here:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Next, you will want to sync those items to a new device using the steps provided in this article:

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim
