Photos transferring OFF of iphone 4

I've been trying to "delete" some photos off my Iphone to no avail. I've tried importing them from my iphone to my apple MacBook Pro, but they won't transfer---please help--what am I doing wrong??
Thanks
Mary

When you sync photos to your phone, iTunes "optimizes" these photos for display on your phone. I, obviously, have no idea what you did when you sized these photos yourself. Thus, I cannot say for certain that they were further reduced in resolution when you synced them to your phone. I was merely making you aware of how the photo sync process works. Regardless, if you want to recover these photos, you'll have to use third-party software to do so, as Apple makes no provision to recover them. The photo sync is one way: Computer to phone.

How to get photo albums off of iphone 4s with itunes

My computer has a virus so I hooked my iphone 4s to another computer with itunes. I need to get some photo albums off the iphone that I synced with the other computer but the only thing that comes up are the photo stream photos. My question is how can I get them off it is taking up space on icloud and I just don't want them anymore. please help.

Please explain to me what kind of photos end up outside the sandbox. Photos taken or saved with the phone are in the Camera Roll. Other photos on the iPhone would be synced via iTunes from the computer. Those pictures are already on the computer and can be removed from the phone via another sync. Importing the photos with import utility on the computer, like a digital camera is how to get the pictures. I'm not sure what these other photos are that you are referring to, or where they are coming from.

Deleting photo album off my iPhone 4s

Hello,
Is there a way to delete a photo album from my iphone 4s using my new MacBookPro?
You see the pictures where put on my iphone using my old PC. Since then I had to get rid of my PC and by a new mac computer.So the picture album on my iphone DOESNT EXIST on my new computer
Is there a way to delete still ?
thank you very much

When you sync to the new computer it will erase all the photos.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.
Did you fail to backup you computer?
You can e-mail the photos to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality

Getting photo albums off my iphone 4s I have Windows 7 which I have down loaded to

just cant seem to figure out how to get photos off my phone I have no more room and it says i have 4000 photos and cant do anything more (syncing)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was no workaround in iOS 7 if Find My iPhone can't be turned off on the phone. I thought that was the whole purpose of the change, to keep thieves from restoring a stolen phone.
I'm confused.
Thanks.

Getting a Photo Album off my iPhone

I have an album on my iPhone (iOS5) containing photos and videos. The photos are not in my camera roll. I want to get the photos off my phone (where they are preventing iCloud sync because the videos are so big) and onto my computer for storage. However, when connecting to my Mac, I can't find the photo album to sync - either via iTunes, or via iPhoto ('09 for Mac)?
(Generally, I'm deeply confused about how photos and photo albums are meant to sync with Mac applications. It all works fine on the iOS device and iPhoto for iOS, but when you need to remove them and sync to Mac it all gets much more difficult...)

Hey GeorgeClarke!
I have an article for you that will help you address this situation:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.

Getting photo's off an iPhone that won't charge?

The other day I woke up to find my iPhone 4s, which is just over a year old, hadn't charged overnight. I've tried everything and I won't charge and has run out of battery so pretty useless. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get photos and things off it, because i'd be a bit annoyed if I lost it all!
Cheers

Hello Gus Graham,
It sounds like your phone is not charging when connected to the USB cable that came with the phone. I recommend the steps in the following article named:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have an iphone 3 that was synced awhile back.All was fine,now I need space on the phone & cannot get a picture file with 344 photos off the phone. I've tried not checking any folders to sync

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

How do I take photo's and video's off my iPhone without using iPhoto? It keeps crashing and to update I need to remove my photos-a catch 22??

How do I take the photo's and video's off my iPhone?... if 'iPhoto' on my mac keeps continually crashing and now refuses to open…?
I need to do this to update my apple software in iTunes, so that I can rid the bugs on my phone and take photo's again.
Is there another way to take the photos/videos off my iPhone and onto the mac? and also to delete them off the phone after I have put them on my hard drive?
It use to be as simple as find, drag and drop into a folder on my old pc. This should be much simpler, any advice or direction extremely welcome……?

Hi Iphotofandango,
There is an alternative to using iPhoto for transferring photos from an iOS device. You can use Image Capture, which will allow you to transfer photos easily. Image Capture is a tool already on your Mac. The following article may help:
Image Capture: Transfer images and other items from your device
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.
For more information about connecting and using your device, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Take care,

I have a new MacAir and need to import existing photo albums from my iPhone 4s

I have had my MacAir replaced and now need to get my existing photo albums off my iphone 4s. It allows me to import exising "new" photos from my camera role but these are not what i want. I did a 9 country Europe trip and I don't want to lose them

Hi foxifoodie,
Unfortunately, those photos live in your iPhoto Library which was on your previous MacBook Air. Did you, by any chance back them up to a disk or flash drive? If not, have you consulted someone at the Apple Genius bar about recovering any of them, or using the Migration Assistant to get them moved over to your new MacBook Air?
I'm not familiar with any way to upload photos (other than the new ones) to your Mac from your iPhone.
IF WE HAVE SOME HEAVY HITTERS OUT THERE THAT KNOW A WAY TO HELP FOXIFOODIE OUT, PLEASE CHIME IN!!!
Otherwise, foxifoodie, I would talk to the Apple folks to see if there is any way to get these back for you! (Worst case - have them all printed out so you at least have a hard copy! Then, possibly have a good photo service put them on disk for you so you can upload them to your new MacBook Air?
Good Luck!
Cheers,
GB

Can I transfer photos from my Mac Photos application to my iPhone 5?

If it is possible, am I able to transfer the photos I have on my mac's Photos Application to my iPhone 5?
- I tried to select 'Photos' from the iTunes 'sync photos' menu but I am unable to.
- When I tried to use the iCloud Photo Library method (which I thought would be convenient IOT save space) not all photos transferred to my iPhone.
Any tips? I tried searching for an answer but I guess because the Photos app is new there isn't much ?s about it... Thanks for any help

That's where you're going to have problems. You'll have to check the manual for you phone for information on how to transfer the contacts to the SIM.
The big problem is the fact that the 4S uses a Micro-SIM, NOT a standard SIM. In order to put it in the phone, you would have to cut it to size, which could well destroy it if you're not lucky.

Photo sync issues with iPhone 3GS

My wife is having two problems with photos on the iPhone.
The first problem she is having is some photos that she wants on the iPhone will not sync because "The iPhone cannot display them". The photos are in JPG format, and she has several other JPGs on the iPhone.
Which leads us to the second problem. When she syncs the iPhone with iTunes she gets duplicate photos on the iPhone. Also, they cannot be deleted as there is no trash icon when she browses them.
Her phone is a 1 day old 16 GB 3GS, using a Win XP machine (iTunes 8.2.1.6)
Any help is appreciated as she is very frustrated by this.
Thanks,
-Seth

Photos transferred from the computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process are selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Photos transferred via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPhone, and are removed from the iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process - the same for music and video. Photos transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted by the iPhone. Photos captured by the iPhone - photos in the iPhone's camera roll can be deleted by the iPhone.
Not sure about the photos that will not transfer problem - I've never had a problem transferring any photos from my Mac, which are all jpeg format.

HT201269 ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud.

I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

How do I delete a photo album off of my iPhone 5 when the photo album is from another computer. I can't delete it btw!

If you select a single photo on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your previous computer should be erased first.
