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.
Have a good luck!

    Check the iPhoto preferences:
    From the main menu bar:  iPhoto > Preferences > General:
         "Connecting camera opens"  : Set this option to  "iPhoto".
    If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone to MacBook

    Hello:
    The hard drive on my MacBook crashed two weeks ago and I have replaced it. Most important loss was the entire iPhoto library that I had not backed up. Much of that, however, is on my iPhone, and I want to know the most efficient method of transferring those photos to my MacBook. Is there a method OTHER than emailing almost 8 thousand images? I posted a similar question re: iTunes purchases from iPhone to MacBook and the solution was simple. Will that be the case with the photos?
    Many thanks, in advance.

    transferring photos fom iphone to macbook

    Import using iPhoto. Use Photo Stream if you have iCloud enabled on both devices, otherwise it will need to be plugged in. If plugging in, open iPhoto and click on the iPhone under DEVICES. Click the photos you want to put on the Mac, then click Import.

  • Transferring photos from iphone to Macbook via WIFI (not photostream)?

    Hi,
    I enabled my iPhone for wireless transfer, and I see it in iTunes as soon as I am in my homeWIFI.
    I don't use iCloud.
    Now, how can I transfer the pictures I made on my phone wirelessly on my Macbook? I don't find the solution, as the iPhone doesn't show up in iPhoto?
    Do I still have to connect with a cable in order to do that?! then the whole WIFI syncing is kinda useless...
    Cheers

    You need iCloud enabled and iPhoto 9.2, it's called Photo Stream, to do what you want.

  • What's the simplest way to transfer photos from iPhone to MacBook

    Since AirDrop evidently is worthless, how do you quickly move pictures from your iPhone (or iPad) to you computer?  I've used various services like DropBox and DeskConnect, even email.  Is there something built in to the OS that would let me do this really quickly?

    Fair enough answer but that's not what I'm looking for.  Needs to be wireless (wifi or bluetooth) for my needs.  And, I know you can use Image Capture (I use ot for scanning quite often) but to clarify, I'm not about to wait for iPhoto to open while my photo stream syncs over iCloud.  I'm looking for a 10 second process, not 5 minutes.
    I really wish DeskConnect was built in to the operating system, like AirDrop is for Apple Devices.  Also wish I could use bluetooth or adhoc wifi for file transfers.

    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
