Restoring photos from my iphone to my iMac

Unfortunatley i just broke my iphone 5, i was unable to turn the phone back on, so i was wondering how i can restore my pictures from my iphone to my iMac? I tried following the directions on apple's website but they are not working for me. I am running the most updated version of OS X mountain lion.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2 or better. Therefore you cannot use iCloud to transfer your photos to your MacBook. You will need to transfer your photos by connecting your phone to iTunes and syncing in the usual way.

  • How do I transfer photos from our iPhones to our iMac (10.8.3)

    We would like to transfer photos from our iPhones to our iMac (10.8.3). What is the best method to do this and have these photos end up in our iPhoto library?

    Not sure what the problem could be especially if the iPhone is showing up in iPhoto. You are sure the imaages are in the Camera Roll and not in an album you made?
    If so you can try opening Image Capture and see if that sees the images.

  • Do I have to have iPhoto to get my photos from my iPhone to my iMac?

    Do I need to have iPhoto to transfer photos from my iPhone to my iMac? I use Photoshop and Lightroom and have not been using iPhoto.

    No. You can also use Image Capture included in OS X. Picasa can also be used.

    Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

  • I can't upload photos from my iPhone to my iMac

    Every time I try and upload photos from my iPhone 4s to iPhoto, it goes about halfway and then "quits unexpectedly".  Any suggestions? 

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Connect your iPhone  and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • HT1296 How do I get photos from my iPhone to my iMac ??

    When I plug my iPhone into the computer it comes up in iTunes but I don't know how to get the photos from my iPhone on to the computer ??

    As the manual explains, pics taken with iphone are imported to your computer the same as from any other digital camera. Itunes has nothing to do with it.

  • Restore contacts from the iPhone to our iMac?

    Recently the hard drive in our iMac crashed and needed replacements.  We want to restore the contacts from the iPhone.  How do we make that happen?

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you would have to enter a unique contact in your computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge.

  • How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

    How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac?  I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone!  I don't want all those pictures on my phone.  Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

    Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes.  Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached).  Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.

  • I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

  • I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work

    I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
    thank you

    If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
    Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
    Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
    Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

  • I accidentally lost my photos from my iphone as I was trying to sync into my mac.  I accidentally clicked restore.  Any suggestions on how I can get my photos back?

    Hello,
    I accidentally clicked restore when I was trying to sync my photos from my iphone to my mac computer.  I lost them all and it made me sick.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I might be able to retrieve them? I was up until 4am trying to figure this out.
    Thanks!!!
    Kelly

    If you restored the iPhone then the photos are gone. Sorry.
    Next time you take photos on your iPhone, transfer them to your Mac as soon as it's convenient.

  • How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

    How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

    Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
    If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

  • How do I get photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac

    Anyone know how to transfer photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or Aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac?

    Thx.  I thought that was what the various manuals were telling me to do but it wasn't working.  Your confirmation was useful in that it prompted me to double check (again) my usb connection (in its highly inconvenient location in the back of my iMac).  Voila.  "Always suspect operator error."
