Sync photos from iphone to itunes

I am trying to sync/import photos from my iphone to my brand new mac.
Once connected between my mac and my iphone on itunes, i am checking the box to synchronise photos.
before proceeding, I get a warning message saying that the photos on my iphone will be deleted (i have approx 2'000 ones there) and replaced by the ones on my new mac (i have none there). I understand that I will lose all my pictures, properly organized, on my iphone.
I want to do exactly the opposite : import the photos and photo libraries from the iphone to the mac.
How can I do this with iTunes ?

Using iTunes to transfer photos from your computer to the iPhone is optional. You can import photos from your phone to a computer and not sync any photos to the phone via iTunes if desired. It does not overwrite photos taken on the phone and left on the phone.
Each time you sync (if you choose to sync photos at all) it will set the synced photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes (i.e., it will add any new photos from the folders/albums you have chosen to sync, it will delete previously synced photos if you change the settings to no longer sync some folders/albums).
I'm not sure what it is that you are trying to do but you may want to consider using iCloud Photo Library. It allows you to automatically have all of your photos on your Mac, on your iPhone, and on iCloud. No iTunes required, no usb cable importing required. More information:

  • Syncing photos from iphone to itunes

    How do I sync the photos in my iphone photo albums, specifically camera roll, to my itunes library?
    when I am syncing other stuff between phone and I tunes, I check off photos also but it asks for a folder on my computer not my iphone

    You can import iPhone photos, like you would from any other camera, using the Scanner and Camera Wizard.

    You cannot transfer photos that you synced to your device from another computer. You can only transfer photos or videos that you took or saved on the device itself.

  • HT1296 how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

    how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

    I have the same issue. I've already read the iPhone user guide which didn't help.
    The user guide explains how to turn on Photo Sync in iTunes but no specifics of where the imported photos will be. I tried syncing a few times and I cannot find the photos on my PC.iTunes transferred all my PC photos *to* the phone, but not the other way around.
    I'd imagine they should be in the folder that is specified in iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • How do I sync photos from Iphone to Ipad?

    How can I sync photos from Iphone 4S to Ipad 4th generation?

    The only way is to sync to iTunes on a computer and then sync from iTunes to the other device, using USB.
    If you're thinking of using photo stream, that won't work now, since only photos taken AFTER each device was logged into photo stream will sync between them.  All older photos must be synced via a computer.
    The exception to this is if you use dropbox or some other service to act as the middleman.

  • HT4236 if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

    if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

    The transfer of photos from an iPhone to a Mac is an import. It is very similar to what happens when you move photos from any camera to the Mac (if you have ever done that). Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    The iTunes sync can move photos the other direction (Mac to iPhone). That "sync" works the same way each time you do it -- it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes photo page settings. Instructions for that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
    WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too?  I just turned photo stream on on my computer.  Thank you.  Liz

  • How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC?

    How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC? I just can't seem to figure it out. All I want to do is take the pictures i took with my iPhone camera and sync them to a folder on my PC (Windows Vista). Thanks for the help.

    I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

  • Sync Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    Why I can't sync photos from iPhone to iPhoto? Both iPhoto and Image Capture only read 26 photos (and it cannot be import too) when I have hundreds in the Iphone.

    Yes, it's all in 'camera roll' folder.. And iPhoto only shows 26 boxes that ready to be import, but when I clicked 'Import All' it said that 'error in sync'

    Pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  they are not part of the sync process at all.

    Directly not. Indeed, refer to photostream or use a computer to transfer photo's from and to devices.

    If you want to use your usb cable, you import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You transfer them from your Mac to your phone by selecting Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

    Correct. Just to give a bit more details. On the iPhone, photos you took with the phone and in the "Camera Roll" are like photos on any digital camera, they have to be taken off by YOU not with a sync. (see previous post as to how). Once off, then you can save there onto your computer where ever you want. If you want them to sync to your phone you save them in the folder you are syncing with the phone (all the other libraries on your phone that show up other than the Camera Roll).
