Problems transfering photos from my iPhone to my second mac

I have updated my iPhone 3G to the latest iOS on my MacBookPro running MacOS 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.3.1. That is all well. I thought this was no problem, since I want to use my MacBookPro as the backup for my phone from now on. But iTunes 10 will not upload the photos on my iPhone. I get a message telling me that all my photos will be erased if I choose to sync my phone with iPhoto on my new computer.
Up until now I have used my old G5 MacPro running MacOS 10.4.11 to backup and sync my phone with iTunes 9.2.1. It is not possible to update iTunes on the old G5, and the iPhone is no longer compatible.
So how do I get my photos from the iPhone to the harddrive of my new mac?

You cannot transfer photos that you synced to your iOS device from another computer. You can only transfer photos or videos that you took or saved on the iOS device.
You can transfer the photos from the iphone to itunes on the old computer and then transfer that file to a thumbdrive or even email them to yourself if you have that kind of time.
But, if your iphone is no longer compatible with your computer, then it will take some some maneuvering  of files. If you can attach your iphone to the computer and open the files in explorer or Finder, you might be able to move them to a thumbdrive that way.

  • Problem Transferring Photos from Old iPhone to new iPhone 5S

    The old iPhone was backed up via iTunes Backup on a Windows XP PC.  Most everything (apps, music, books) were copied to the 5S via iTunes, but only 1/2 the photos (approximately 700 of 1600).  But when attempting to restore from the backup, iTunes says there is not enough memory.  Further, unless de-selected, iTunes syncs photos from the My Pictures folder.
    The old phone shows 2.4 (of 16) gig of storage available.  The new 5S 3.4.
    So, is there a way to get all the pictures moved over, in iTunes, the Cloud or otherwise?  Can the photos on the old phone be synced to iTunes to then be synced to the 5S?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Import the photos from the Camera Roll on your old iPhone with your computer. You can place all photos in one folder on your computer or create multiple photo albums or folders for select photos.
    Under the Photos tab for your new iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the newly created folder or folders or photos that were imported from your old iPhone followed by a sync to transfer the photos from your computer to your new iPhone.

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • Problems transferring photos from iPhone to iMac

    I've recently bought an iMac and I can't transfer photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. When I attach the phone to the computer it isn't recognized as hardware in iPhoto. I used to be able to transfer from my phone to my old Macbook but that doesn't work now either.

    This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1

  • Having troubles transferring photos from my Iphone 4s to my computer

    I can't transfer photos/videos from my iphone 4s to my computer since the computer won't recognize the phone as I plug it in. I tried to install new drivers but only tells me that all my drivers are up to date. I cant recall having this problem until I switched to Windows 7. I also tried reading these forums and others for a solution but I have this far been unable to find one. Is there anyone else out there having this problem?
    I also seem to have exactly the same problem with transferring photos from my digital camera.

    Hello there Philipfromswe.!     Philipfromswe
    Thanks for replying to my question! You mentioned that it might be a problem with my computer, what do you mean by that? Is it the hardware, i.e loose cables and such or is it the software that you refering to?
    Great suggestion that I should use Dropbox to transfer my pictures. I already have Dropbox and I have used it to make copies. The problem is that I find the app troublesome to use and I much rather prefer that I can acess the photos as I did before.
    I will continue to try to find an solution to my connectivity problems but I appreaciate your advice!

    I want to transfer my photos from my Iphone to my pc. My computer recognizes the Iphone, but always says that he can't find any new photos on the Iphone. Eventhough there are hundreds of new photo's. Any help?

    Currently there's no way to get edited photos from an iPhone to a Mac except to email them to yourself.  With the introduction of the iCloud Photo Library then edited versions can be synced between devices.

  • How do I transfer photos from my iphone to my desktop Mac?

    Transfering photos from iphone 4 to my desktop mac?

    There are many ways. The easiest is to connect your iPhone to your Mac via the USB cable, start up iPhoto, and choose to "import all" from the iPhone.
    Another easy way is to use the Image Capture application. You can download the photos from your phone to any location on your Mac's drive. This is a good choice if you don't use iPhoto, don't have iPhoto, or have only a very old version of iPhoto.
    You can also get a free app such as WiFi Photo Transfer. Using that app, you can download any or all of the photos on your iPhone to any other device that has a web browser - even another iPhone.

  • Transferring photos from a USB flash drive to Mac Lion

    I managed to salvage some photos from my old Windows Vista laptop and get them onto a small flash drive, before my laptop pegged out.
    But when I plug it into the USB port on the Mac, I dont see any Icon and no recognition of it. 
    How do I find it and get the photos into Iphoto ? or is it not possible to transfer photos from a flash drive to a Mac ? 

    you open finder it's the dark blue and light blue 1/2 faces
    there you go to the usb drive and mark the photos and copy them to where you wish

  • Is there any way that I can delete photos from my iPhone by using my Mac?

    Is there any way that I can delete photos from my iPhone 4s by using iPhoto on my iMac (Mid 2011) using OS X Yosemite v10.10.2?  It seems it would be much more convenient to use my iMac to delete the photos from my iPhone or iPad, but I can't figure out how to do it.  Thanks for your consideration and help!
