Transferring Photo Albums from Iphone 3Gs to IMac?

Hey All,
I have an Iphone 3Gs, that was synced with my laptop. That died, so I bought an IMac, and am trying to find out if there is any way I can get my old photo albums off my iphone onto my IMac? I know how to do it from pictures that i take on the phone, but didn't know if there was any way to save the old pictures I have???
Thank you x

You will need a third party recovery software tool (lots available) to be able to extract them but it can be done.
Just bear in mind that the images on the phone are NOT the originals but are compressed reduced size versions for the iPhone screen.
Google is your friend for the tool.

  • Unable to transfer "Notes" and photo album from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4

    I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS (old phone) to iPhone 4 (new phone) and used iTunes to backup all data from the old phone.
    When setting up the new phone for the first time I selected "restore from current device" option and all the data transferred properly to the new phone.  But I get "No Signal" since the old and new phones are different carriers.  So I tried to use iCloud instead.  This time I do get proper signal with the new carrier but only  telephone "Contacts" and applications were transferred not any of the "Notes" or photo album.

    In your iPhone 3GS, go to Settings>iCloud and turn ON notes and Photo Stream. Now go to Storage&Backup and hit "Back Up Now". Now your stuffs will be on iCloud. Just use iCloud on your iPhone 4 to get them onto your device

  • Transferring photo albums from iPhone to new laptop help?

    My old computer crashed all my data is not recoverable. I have some phone albums on iPhone 5 that I want to download to a new computer, but I can't get them to show up in iTunes or iPhoto when I sync my phone. The only images that download are the ones from the camera roll. Any suggestions on how I could save these images?
    Thank you.

    Photos outside the camera roll can only be transferred to the computer if you use 3rd party software, like Touchcopy for example, just to name one of the many a search will bring up.

  • HT2498 How do I import Photo Library from iPhone 3GS to Mac Pro? Unable to see photos when USB cable connected???

  • How do I delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    What is the easiest way to delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    Depends on the album and how it got there.
    If it is an album that you sync'd to the device, you would remove it the same way - by hooking up the device to sync, de-selecting the album in the Photos profile screen, and then syncing the device
    If it is an album you created, you would need to manually delete the album itself by clicking on Edit from the main display and then clicking on the minus sign to delete the album. This does not delete the photos in the album, however. If you want the photos deleted, you have to select them and then delete them manually.
    Camera Roll photos will ask if you want to delete them when you import the Camera Roll to a computer.
    Photo Stream photos are either deleted manually, or you can turn off Photo Stream altogether to remove Photo Stream from your device.
    Cheers,

    As soon as you sync your phone to a different computer & put a check in the box to sync photos under the photos tap in iTunes, then hit the apply/sync button, all of these photos will be erased from your phone.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • How do I copy or sync a photo album from iPhone to iMac (copying album not camera roll)

    Is there a way to copy or sync specific pictures just from a photo album from my iPhone (5s) to my iMac?
    I don't want to have to select each & every one again from my camera roll when I've already taken the time to organize the photos I want to an album on my iphone.
    I usually sync photos to my work PC where I know it only shows the entire camera roll.
    Now I'm trying to sync to my wife's iMac, but again it would be nice to be able to select the specific album I want and not have to go through my entire (3000+ pics) camera roll

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How to remove photo album from IPhone 5

    I copied a photo album from my PC to my IPhone (for a slideshow at a funeral).  The photos did not originate on the IPhone.  Now I want to remove this photo album, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.  The Iphone does not appear to allow for removal, and the album does not appear in ITunes on my PC.
    The Settings>General>Usage tab allows me to delete all of my music, thus allowing me to reinstall what I want, but this feature isn't available for photos.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    An excerpt from this support document: iTunes: Syncing photos
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

    If you put those albums on your device by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync. This time deselect those albums from the Photos tab in iTunes on your computer then click on Sync or Apply.

  • Transferring 6,000 photos from iphone 3GS to iMac OS X 10.6

    i have finally purchased an iMac, haven't yet performed the 'switch' from my Windows XP desktop and haven't connected my iphone to the iMac yet since my Apple salesguy said everything would be erased from my phone if i did that without first bringing in both computers so they could do the transfer for me. But i want to transfer the photos from my iphone to my iMac NOW and not wait for everything to be transferred first....has anybody done this yet, and if so, did you lose everything on your iphone ? I don't want to synch my phone yet as i'm afraid i'll later get duplicate contacts and calendar info when i later do the switch from pc to imac. I also have MobileMe but not sure on the details of using it with my new imac if i haven't yet done the switch...again, don't want duplicates. Thanks for any help anybody can offer.

    There are some applications that let uses access the iPhone without having to go thru iTunes. You may have to set up iTunes to not sync when the phone is connected first.
    A couple of them are DiskAid, iPhone Explorer 2.005 and iPod Access Photo 1.7.1.
    If you have iTunes set to open when the iPhone is connected and sync automatically you might want to zip iTunes, delete the unzipped iTunes before connecting the iPhone.
    You did set up iTunes and iPhone to use the full sized image files and not a reduce version, right?

  • Transferring photos from Iphone 3GS to Imac

    Imac
    Snow Leopard 10.6.2
    Iphone 3GS latest firmware
    Can anyone tell me how to transfer photos from the Iphone to the Imac?
    I cannot see the Iphone connected in either finder or image capture!
    Connects fine with Itunes and I can send photos to the Iphone no problem.
    Any ideas brainiacs???
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    If there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone should also be detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer, which means being detected by iPhoto or the Image Capture application for importing the photos.
    Since the iPhone does not support disk mode, it won't appear on your Desktop or via the Finder as a connected external drive.
    Does your iPhone's Camera Roll include any photos that were saved from a received email, from a website, or from an MMS?
    If so, this has been reported to cause problems for some with the iPhone being recognized as a digital camera. I haven't experienced the same, so I don't know what triggers this specifically.
    If your iPhone's Camera Roll includes such photos that you want to save, email these photos to yourself followed by saving the photos from the received email on your Mac. After emailing these photos, delete these photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • How to download photos from iphone 3gs to iMac

    How do I download photos from my 3GS iPhone to my Mac? I have tried to let iPhoto do it but the phone never shows up as a device in the left column.

    First connect your iPhone 3GS to your Mac via the USB port, then open iPhoto if you see a label in the left panel that says Devices but no label for your iPhone point at the Device label a Show should appear to the right, click on Show. Note: your iPhone must be unlocked.

  • Copy photo albums from iphone

    I really need to copy all my photo albums to Imac and delete them from the iphone.

    @chamin, it's not that you're not apple-savvy...it's that these Apple administrators are not helping you. I realize it is a year since this thread has been active so it is probably too late for you, but since I had the same problem and NOBODY is posting a solution, I will post mine here to help the next person. Afterward, I will post my rant on this subject.
    SOLUTION:
    I installed Dropbox on the iPhone, and then went into dropbox, and selected Upload. It then threw me into the albums I wanted to upload. I had to check each individual photo, and then wait for Dropbox to sync via WiFi. After it did…I then went to the Mac, where I had installed Dropbox already, waited for it to sync, and moved the photos/videos from my Dropbox folder into a folder offline.
    (now stop here, unless you want to read my rant)
    VIOLA!!! I am now thinking WHY is there not a straightforward solution from Apple support, and WHY do people ignore the need to accomplish this task????
    There SHOULD be a way to do this using iTunes or a Mac computer. I am very disappointed at all the apple support forums where administrators are continually parroting the "the proper method of syncing photos/videos" and outright ignoring the actual situation that needs to be dealt with. Typical IT support snobbishness…always questioning "how come you want to do it that way…you should be doing it this way, blah blah blah". Take my example, and start to help by answering the user's questions and quit trying to defend the illogical nature of something.
    This is another reason I am a major promoter of PC, and heavily against any deployment of Macs. Although I love the iPhone because of its stability, iPhone users tend to use Macs…and I am in a working environment where there are so many people who want to use Mac instead of PC. I use a Mac every day to evaluate it from a support perspective, and I have detailed lengthy notes on the problems with using a Mac in the PC environment but nobody cares…because users don't care about knowing how a computer works. Once again, I had to figure out a workaround that Apple doesn't support. I actually should come forward and admit that Microsoft support administrators have pretty much the same arrogance and smudgeness.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??
