Transfer photos from iPhone 3G to iPhoto

I inherited an iPhone 3G from my son.  By inheriting, I mean he gave me the phone without an instruction manual on basic operation, plus with the iPhone 4GS now the craze, finding information about the 3G is pretty scarce.  What is the easiest way to transfer photos on the 3G to iphoto.  I have an iPod (80GB color display), which I sync my music files to by syncing it to my desktop.  Is transferring photos from the 3G toiPhoto done in the same way?

Here's how to: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If you have a Mac
You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.

  • TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM IPHONE 5 TO IPHOTO

    Is there another way to transfer photos taken from iPhone 5 to iPhoto other than having to connect to the computer directly with USB?
    Thanks

    Connect iPhone to Mac. Start iPhoto on the Mac. Select your phone in iPhoto and copy your pictures to the Mac.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto on Mac

    Sometimes my photos automatically transfer from the iphone to iphoto - or maybe I am doing something to cause it because I am playing around with it.  But it generally takes hours.  I want to do this quickly.  Can you tell me how?

    Connect iPhone to Mac. Start iPhoto on the Mac. Select your phone in iPhoto and copy your pictures to the Mac.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone to mac without iPhoto / image capture and preview doesn't see device

    Hello. I'd like to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I read (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083) that iPhoto is the standard application for that; I'd like to do without. I read that image capture (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8954/copy-photos-off-iphone-without-iph oto) or even Preview (http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/10/transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer/)  could help. Neither of them see my iPhone although cable connected and iTunes does. So my question is two: If Preview and Image Capture are ineed supposed to, why don't they? And is there any other way?
    Thanks

    I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
    Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
    Have a good luck!

  • How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

    iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

    As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
    you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
    Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
    BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will  disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

  • Problems transferring photos from iphone to mac, iphoto says there is nothing to download...

    Hi, I need to transfer photos from iphone to mac. My mac can 'see' my iphone with iphoto open, but the box says there are no photos to download. Could anyone help me please? This has never been a problem before (it was fine about 2 weeks ago). I've tried turning both devices off and have spent a couple of hours trying to search for this problem on the internet. I can't remember when I updated to OS 7.1 but I guess that was recently; could this be the problem? Thank you so much.

    This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1
    Is your phone unlock when it is connected to your Mac?

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:

    Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC:
    On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer, but there’s two ways to go about this:
    Plugin your iPhone to the computer without iTunes running
    Wait for a popup asking you what you want to do with the device
    Select “View Content”
    Find your photos through the folders that are displayed
    Copy in Windows as usual
    If your iPhone is already plugged into your PC, you can try this method:
    Plugin your iPhone to your PC
    Open “My Computer”
    Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
    Open iPhone to find your Photos
    Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/paste them into the desired location on your PC
