Save pictures from iPhone 4 to MacBook pro

How do I save pictures/video taken on my iPhone to my computer? I have some items I really would like to have on the computer and do not want to have to email all of them.
Thanks

Actually, iPhoto is not part of OS X, it just comes free with all Macs, so everyone has it. I mention the difference only because lots of confused people bought the new OS Leopard or Snow Leopard and expect it to install the new iPhoto, and it doesn't.
But you can use Image Capture, which IS part of OS X. If you don't use iPhoto, and just want to get the pix in a folder where you want them instead of where iPhoto puts them, use Image Capture.
Basically, you import the pix off your phone the same way you would import the pix from any digital camera.

  • Uploading pictures from iPhone to macbook pro.

    hello, I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong here. But how do I upload pictures that I have taken with my iPhone onto my computer?
    Thanks again for all the help.

    You're MBP may not be set up to automatically launch iPhoto when the iPhone (or a digital camera) is connected. If you have iLife '08, the setting for that is in iPhoto Preferences. If you have iLife '06, the setting is in Applications > Image Capture > Preferences.

    Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes.  In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

  • HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

    File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

    Hi Brok25;
    Thanks for the question.  The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop.  Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
    Sending files to and from an older Mac
    If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
    On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
    Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
    On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
    Tips for sending files
    Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
    Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
    If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
    Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector 
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network. 
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector. 
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • Transfer MP4 audio recordings from iPhone to MacBook Pro

  • Transfer of Pictures from PC to MacBook Pro

    Two questions. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and successfully transferred pictures from our PC. Although photographs in IPhoto retain the dates on which they were originally taken, those in Pictures only have the date on which they were transferred, ie 'created', entirely unhelpful. How do I access the original date on which the photographs were taken, not available under Info?
    Second question, more complicated, duplication of photographs in IPhoto and Pictures: is there a simple way of merging them? We used to download pictures from IPhone onto our PC under date folders, without realising they were being duplicated. Identifical pictures appear in about 6 different folders - how I can I edit them without having to do so manually?
    Any help (not too technical) gratefully received.

    There is more than one date that can be associated with an image, and I think you're running into different programs displaying different dates. This is not a comprehensive list but:
    Capture date: Date and time the photo was recorded by the camera clock, stored in EXIF camera data.
    Created date: Date and time the photo was first saved to disk by photo software on a computer
    Modified date: Date and time the edited photo was last saved to disk by photo software on a computer
    Archived date: I'm not really sure but I see this in detailed photo information too.
    Furthermore, these dates can be stored in various additional date fields in other IPTC metadata sections, and various software might not write or read them in the same ways as other software.
    But what I think is going on in your case is that the iPhoto Info panel is displaying the Capture Date from the camera recorded EXIF data, but what you see in the Finder are the Created and Modified dates.
    If I'm right, then LexSchellings' column suggestion may not work because all you would get is the File Created date, not the camera recorded Capture Date. I do not know of a way to display camera EXIF capture date in the Finder. Generally, organizing photos using that data is done using a photo management app like iPhoto, Picasa, Apple Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, Media Pro, etc., not on the desktop.
    If you were able to view the Capture Date in Windows Explorer, then that's an advantage that Windows Explorer (the desktop) had over the Finder. I've seen other cases where the Finder couldn't do something Windows Explorer could, so I wouldn't be surprised.
    As far as the duplicates, I don't really know but I did a search at macupdate.com and you might want to check some of these utilities that can help resolve duplicates.
    MacUpdate search on "duplicate photo"
    macupdate.com is a great place to look for Mac software if you didn't find it in the Mac App Store.

  • Transferring music from iPhone to MacBook Pro

    I  just bought a new macbook pro and went to transfer my music from my iPhone to the new iTunes, and only half transferred. The other half are in the iTunes music section but are not highlighted. Help?

    The iphone is not a backup device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT5887 how to sharing data from iPhone to macbook pro using an airdrop?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot use AirDrop to transfer files between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a Mac. You can only use AirDrop to transfer files between two iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, or between two Macs. This is caused because AirDrop does not work in the same way in iOS and OS X.

  • Sync information from Iphone to Macbook Pro?

    Recently my Macbook pro was stolen from me and I just recently got a new one. My Iphone has all of my song's and what not's on it and I want to transfer them to m new Macbook. I know if I plug in my Iphone to my Macbook and it sync's it, I will lose everything. I don't want that, I want to sync all my song's from my phone to my laptop. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

    The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only, and the same for photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • Importing contacts from iPhone to MacBook Pro's address book

    Do I need to download and install iTunes onto my MacBook Pro, in order to transfer contacts from my iPhone into my MacBook Pro's address book? If I simply plug my iPhone into my MacBook Pro's USB port, is there a way to get it to sync to my address book? Or do I need to first install iTunes; as is the case for syncing to Outlook running under Windows?

    You need iTunes (it should already be on your MBP, though!).
    Also, if your goal is to transfer the contacts from the iPhone to the computer, you must have at least one new contact in the MBP's Address Book app. If it's empty, the contacts on the phone will be wiped. Create a new (dummy) contact, then sync the iPhone and you'll be prompted to Merge or Replace the data - choose the Merge option.
