Transfer photos from iPhone 5 to external drive?

I have a lot of photos on my iPhone 5 and a MacBook Air with not much space left.
Is there a way to transfer photos from my phone directly to an external hard drive? Or must I import them first and then transfer?
Thanks

Use image capture and then select "import to..." and when choose the "other" option then select your hard drive and choose where to store them then import and they'll go straight to your external.

  • 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:

    Step by step toturial on How to transfer photos from iphone to Mac:
    1.Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
    2.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.
    3.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.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone to Macbook - as files (not iPhoto)?

    Hi -
    I haven't backed up iPhone in awhile, and will be using a "new" Mac to sync.
    Really do not wish to hose the photos (or contact info) by making a mistake.
    Is there a way to xfer photos from iPhone to Mac hard drive without using iPhoto?
    Also, any tips or links re avoiding any data loss when xfering from iphone to hd - welcome.
    Thanks so much, in advance!

    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.

    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

  • 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
