Uploading photo's from my iPhone 4 to my Mac Mini?

have a Mac Mini & an iPhone 4. Before the recent software updates, I used to plug the phone into the mac & iPhoto would open & ask me if I wanted to upload my photos, before it went to iTunes.
Since the software updates, for the Mac & iOS5 on the phone I don't have this option anymore. iPhoto opens but it opens to the places map, not teh recent photos on my phone.  iPhoto doesn't even have the phone as an option to choose on the left hand side now
I haven't got iCloud to work on the mac yet, which is a seperate issue. I took a lot of photos at a special festival recently & the photo streaming was switched off.
How do I get the photo's off my phone & onto the mac please?
(I have recently converted from a PC user to the mac, so am completely useless with the mac still

Photos in PhotoStream can be imported from the cloud, however, the iCloud control panel for Windows requires Windows 7. You will either have to do as Ralph suggests, then import them using the USB cable as you would with any other camera, or upgrade the version of Windows you're running.

  • HT1229 How can you transfer the  photo library from  an iphone to a mac.

    I have a photo library on my iphone which was synced to the iphone from my pc.  Now I have a mac laptop and I cannot figure out how to get the photo library onto my mac from the phone.  The photo stream has transferred over but none of my other albums.

    If the photos are in your Camera Roll on the iPhone connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iPhoto and import directly into your library on the Mac.

    Hi all,
    I've set up a new email account on my iphone 5 and want this email account to be set up on my Mac mini aswell.  I have connected my iphone to my my mac as I thought it may sync automatically but it didn't.  I'm a new mac user and still getting to grips with it!   I've searched through the forums and haven't found the answer so far and so any help would be much appreciated!

    If you already have an iCloud account, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Make sure Mail is selected.
    On yor iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Mail is swtiched on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data between your Mac and your iPhone.

  • I have a problem with my iPhoto: I want to import my photo's from my iphone to my Mac, but the program of iPhoto stucs what to do?

    I can't go further with importing my photo'sfrom my iphone > Who can help me?

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Photo stream from 2 iPhones to 1 Mac

    My wife and I each have an iPhone using our own Apple IDs.  However, we only have 1 iPhoto library which is on our shared Mac under my Apple ID.  I don't want to create another iPhoto library and I wondered, is it possible to stream from our two phones to one iPhoto account using the Cloud?

    No, at least not yet. Maybe it'll be something to come along in an update.
    It's a little weird, on Windows you can sinc Photostream to a folder, but on the Mac you can only sinc to iPhoto or Aperture. If on a Mac you could sinc to a folder, then you could do that with one of the phones and have a simple Automator application automatically import those into your 1 iPhoto Library.

  • How to export a photo album from my iphone that was previously imported from another mac?

    Again, I'd like to export a photo album from my iphone to my mac. What is unique here is that the album was originally imported from another mac to my iphone. When I open iphoto on my mac it will import everything else but this particular album. It's from my old iphone that crashed but I was lucky enough to export the pics from my old phone to another mac and then import them to my new iphone. Great as that is, I'd still like to export them to my mac. HELP, thoughts, ideas

    Sync it to your new computer.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • Transfer digital photos from Olympus Stylus Tough to mac mini desktop - viewing

    How to view digital photos transferred from Olympus Stylus Tough to Mac Mini after duplicated to desktop?  Unable to locate.

    Olympus website FAQ:  I am aMac user. What software can I use to view my images and movies on my computer?
    The [ib] software bundled with this camera is not compatible with Macintosh operating systems. Mac users who wish to transfer their images and movies to a Mac for viewing, editing and sharing have two options:
    Connect the camera to the computer using the camera's bundled USB cable, and then manually transfer your files to the computer using standard copy/paste or drag and drop techniques. Once the files are on your computer, you can use any third-party application of your choice to view, edit and share them.After transferring data there is no efficient way to copy to a file.  The folder provides a "duplicate" option and then it "copies" items to "desktop" by default.
    ===============
    After I transfer the data the unnamed folder gives me the option to "duplicate".  When I do this the data, by default, "copies" to the desktop.
    I am unable to retrieve and locate the actual digital photos and videos, however.  I have tried transferring data before and was able to locate it in the folder,
    but this time I am not locating it.
    My O.S. would not allow me to install the Olympus software needed.

  • TS3195 I can upload photos and smaller size videos but when a video is 24 minutes long for instance, it doesn't upload at all from my iPhone to the PC. How do I upload these videos that are longer in length?

    Are you using any software to import videos? Did you tried Picasa or you just open your iPhone from My Computer?

    Hi all!
    I was trying to download my pictures from my iphone to my MAC for storage so that I can erase them off my iphone but could not find an easy

    them to my MAC? Am I asking for too much ? Can anyone help me?

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • I am trying to download my photos from my iphone to my mac-iphoto. It keeps trying but about halfway through it says there is an error with a photo therefore it wont download any of my pictures or videos.  It wont tell me which picture is the issue.

    I took a lot of pictures and video on my recent trip to Ireland.  Now I am trying to download the photos and videos from my iphone to my mac - iphoto.  I have tried 3 times and each time (at a different point) I get a message telling me that there was an error with one of my photos and it wont load the pictures.  Help!!

    Try using Image Capture to download to a folder on the Desktop.  If there's a damaged file on the iPhone that's preventing the download you can isolate it with Image Capture and then delete it from the iPhone.
