Trouble with transferring Photos from iPhone to MacBook...

Hi. I might be missing something really basic here but can someone tell me what exact steps need to be taken so that photos taken on my iPad/iPhone, will automatically appear on my MacBook. Thanks!

Assuming that you are referring to the photo stream feature of iCloud, then photo stream needs to be turned on in the iCloud settings on both devices (system preferences on the Mac). In addition to this, you need the most recent version of iPhoto, along with the iPhoto photo stream plug-in, all of which should be available via software update, assuming that you already have iPhoto 9 or better.

  • I have a problem with transfering photos from iPad to MacBook Air, how do I go about doing that?

    Photos from iPad to MacBook Air, I am currently trying to use my USB cord to transfer photos, but how?

    You can only import photos in the camera roll, not synced photos. So I assume that you want to transfer the photos that you shot with the iPad camera. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture on the MBA.
    Just connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two apps. Your iPad should appear under the devices heading in the left sidebar of the app. Click on the iPad name just like you do when you sync with iTunes and the camera roll photos should appear in the window on the right.

  • Help transferring photos from iPhone to macbook

    when i switched from the 4s to 5s i transferred all of the pictures from the 4s onto a windows laptop, then transferred the pictures from the laptop onto the 5s. now my 5s is almost out of storage, and i was wondering if it was possible to transfer the old pictures onto my macbook and then delete that album from the phone. also the album of pictures from the computer doesn't have the delete option when you go to edit albums.

    If you still have the windows laptop your best option is to get the photos from there. If the only copies of the 4s photos that you have are now on the 5s (placed there by using iTunes to sync from the Windows computer) then you will either need to email them to yourself or use 3rd party software such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php to salvage them from the 5s.
    Once you have safely recovered the 4s photos that were transferred to the 5s via iTunes sync, you can remove them from the 5s by syncing with iTunes using the following instructions from iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support . Note that if the original computer isn't available you may first need to sync a few new photos from your current computer using iTunes and then sync again to delete them using the following instructions.
    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.

  • 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.

Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

    even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
    What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
    And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
    Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
    What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
    Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

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

    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.

  • Transferring Photos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro via Wi-fi or Bluetooth?

    Can it be possible to transfer photos from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or apps from the app store?

    You may want to take a look at DropBox instead. Details here:

  • 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 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??????

  • 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 synchronise photos from iphone to macbook

    I recently got a MacBook Pro.
    How can I synchronise my photos from iPhone 4s to my MacBook, without deleting first on iPhone, as suggested by iTunes?
    thanks

    You can import photos from an iPhone to a MacBook using the following instructions (note that iTunes is not involved) and you can either leave the photos on the phone after the import or you can delete them from the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    iTunes can be used to move photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    Where in iTunes are you seeing a suggestion to delete photos? (Exact wording may help, if possible)
