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

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.

  • 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?

    I was having a pretty serious problem that started when I upgraded to iPhone 3.1. While iTunes recognized my iPhone, iPhoto didn't.
    And if I opened iPhoto, I couldn't see the camera. Same with Image Capture - it said no device detected. I know there was no problem in 3.0.
    Luckily, there are other ways to get the photos off the iPhone, and luckily iTunes recognizes the phone, but that of course is not the point.
    Good news is that I believe I found the fix. Click through and I'll see if I can explain it.
    For some reason, it has to do with photos saved to the camera roll that were not shot with the iPhone. In other words, photos saved from email or screenshots. I have no idea why that would be, but once I deleted the non-shot photos, iPhoto launched normally and all was right with the world.
    The problem is mentioned several times in the Apple support forums and everyone with it is running iPhone 3.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Restoring the iPhone, rebooting and repairing permissions from the Snow Leopard disc has no effect. The only fix I've found is my weird one.
    Anyone else seeing this problem? Anyone find a different fix? Please let me know in the comments or interact with me on Twitter or Facebook.
    Thanks and thanks for calling.

  • Transferring photos from IPhone to PC

    I am attempting to transfer photos from my IPhone to my PC and am having difficulties with pictures that I uploaded to the phone. All of the pics that were in my "Camera Roll" file transferred with no problems. However, the photos that are in two other "albums" will not transfer. My photo software does not recognize the existence of the other albums and therefore will not transfer the photos. I have tried emailing the photos and that doesn't work either. There are some photos on the phone that I don't have anywhere else (due to a computer crash some months ago) and I really want to be able to download them to my computer. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi i wonder if anyone is experiencing the same problems i am having transfereing photos from the 3Gs to a PC. I have plugged the cable in via the usb and the scanner and camera wizard pops up (sometimes), but when you open the advanced user tab there are no photos showing in the window. I have been on to Apple and they have no idea at precent why this is. My mate also has the same problem on a MAC and a PC running XP. The photos are there but i can get them off my phone to a file. ITunes picks up the phone no problem??????

  • HT201302 how do i backup photos from iPhone 5 to iMac, if my iPhone won't turn on

    how do i back up photos from iPhone 5 to iMac if my iPhone 5 will not turn on?

    If your iPhone will not turn on, then it's too late to perform a backup.  Backups must occur before catastrophes, as they cannot occur after a catastrophe.
    Of course, if you use Photo Stream or iCloud Photo Library, then your photos should already be on your Mac.

    You should ask in the Apple Forum. This has nothing to do with Adobe Reader, which only reads PDF files.

  • 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?

  • Transferring photos from iPhone to computer

    I have never had a problem with getting my photos onto my computer untill now. I want my photos on my computer but when I plug my USB in it does nothing. Usually I get an option to transfer or copy my photos. But now even when it is plugged in it does not give me that option. HELP! I want my photos on my computer!

    As I have already specified earlier, my iPhone 3G is not syncing with my computer/ itune. Tried the option of Downloading photos from iphone directly by default "Windows picture & fax viewer". This programme can only fetch the photos from camera roll - but abruptly stops and exits without warning while attempting to delete photos from the phone - It seen that iphone has some kind of firewall that do not allow any programme to delete any thing from it's directory. One of my freinds has suggested to "Jailbreak" my phone - I did not like his idea to tamper with my expensive camera. Kindly help.
