Uploading photos without syncing

How can I upload photos from my sister's older iphone to my Macbook without them syncing with one another?

Thanks for your reply.  I'm worried that if I merely connect the iphone to my computer (without doing anything else), it is going to begin the sync process and hence either wipe out the music and photo data on her phone (or on my computer).

    the ability to have different folders for example? or to be able to import/sync/whatever from more then one folder on my (windows xp) computer? this is really annoying...
    why also do the subfolders in my playlists on itunes dissapear on my 32 gig touch? i am really tired of waiding thru all my kids playlists (spoken aduio books for car trips etc) and my wifes xmass collections everytime i want to switch up some music! on itunes i just put them in subfolders for each person...
    syncing is a pain, especially since i havent figured how to sync in what direction! (do i loose tunes when i save to ipod vrs computer when i alter both playlists independantly?)
    while im ranting....grin

  • Streaming Photos Without SYNCing ????

    I would like to STREAM photos from my iMac to the Aplle TV without SYNC them.
    In other words I do not want them stored on the Apple TV.
    Someone told me I had to "pair" my Apple TV to my iMac for streaming.
    I do believe that yesterday I was 'streaming' a movie to the ATV, or at least I was playing it as it was SYNCing.
    Thanks fort he help!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    If you have syncing enabled then you need to sync photos in order to stream them, you can of course turn syncing off and just stream everything including photos, but I'm not sure this is what you want to do.
    There is one other alternative, it's a little messy and for mac users only and that's to have a second user account on your mac and have itunes as a stream only library within it and have a shared photo library between the two user accounts.

  • AppleTV screensaver playing my photos (without sync)

    After the Leopard upgrade I found that I can stream photos (vs having to sync them as it was before)- which is great (don't have to constantly update what albums get sync'd, etc.). Trouble now is that I can't find an option to play any of MY photos in screensaver mode (and when music is playing) on the Apple TV, etc (It just plays the "canned Apple stock photos that live on the Apple TV's drive). If I sync the Apple TV to my Mac (and it's iTunes) then I can't stream photos. Ideas?

    I found that the only way to stream photos is to choose to sync only a few photos and then disable syncing in iTunes, then for whatever reason, all of my photos are available to stream. Go figure...

  • Can't upload photos through Sync

    I can no longer download the photos on my iphone to my imac.  It is no longer an option during the sync.  I can't download anything from phone to computer.  Only computer to phone.  I cannot even view my photos through iTunes.  I don't know what to do. 

    Import your photos to iPhoto on your Mac ===> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?viewlocale=en_US
    Once your photos are imported, you can then sync them from your computer to your iPhone through iTunes

  • How can you upload photos to FaceBook from iPhoto without using the sync where is deleted in iPhoto it will be deleted in FaceBook

    How can you upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook without having the sync where if you delete from iPhoto you delete

    I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.

  • Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

    The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
    At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
    I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

    Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

  • How do I upload photos from my PC to my ipad without deleting the photos already on my ipad?

    How do I upload photos from my PC to my ipad without deleting the photos already on my ipad???

    The iTUnes sync syncs the contents of a folder you choose. ANd it handles only one folder at a time.
    What I did to keep things straight, was to make a separate folder inside the 'my photos' part of my computer. Then put in that folder copies of things I wanted on my iPad. I could then add/remove from that folder as the mood struck and since everything in there was a copy I wouldn't lose any. (you would add/remove from the folder, then do a sync to allow iTunes to update that folder on  your iPad to match the folder on your PC)
    Another way, to get away from maintaining a folder, if you don't have a ton of photos, just e-mail them to yourself, save them from that e-mail. Keep them on the iPad as long as you like, then you can delete them as you wish. Photos that are synced onto the iPad must be synced off (as in removed from that folder then a sync performed to remove them)
    E-mailing the photos to yourself gives you more flexibility in managing them on the iPad.

  • Photos uploaded to iPad sync to PC .iThmb files...how change setting?

    I'm surprised that I couldn't find a prior post about this. I bought the adapter that let's you upload photos directly to iPad (which I like a lot - can view/thin/email pics from the road). But when you sync to a PC laptop, it uploads them into my docs as iThmb files. Anyone know if there is either a settings solution to change import type...or software app that will convert a selection of ithmb files jpeg? I don't care about opening them in ithmb and don't want to convert file at a time. someone hipper than me must know how to do this

    An .ithmb file is the format used to store pictures on an iPod. There are several applications that can open .ithmb files such as File Juicer and Keith's iPod Photo Reader

    my iphone's memory is near capacity from photo albums sync'ed with my mac and I haven't found out how to delete select albums to free up memory without wiping the iphone.  Any suggestions??

    You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

  • How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

    I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

    This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
    In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
    Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
    Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.

  • Deleting Photos on ipad without syncing to itunes

    I have an ipad, I have pics that were synced from a computer which crash and I do not have any more - how do I delete those images from my ipad -

    You cannot delete those photos without removing them using iTunes or unless you totally erase the iPad using Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.

  • Is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work.  The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page.  Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin. 
    They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one.  This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app.  Thanks anyway for your help.

  • Can I download photos from my sons iPhone to my computer, without "syncing"/

    My son got a new iPhone and gave me his old phone to sell(iPhone 4)
    He did not back up his iPhone photos onto his new phone.
    Is there a way I can "copy" these photos and email them back to him?
    Can I "sync" his phone to my computer to get the photos, without messing up my iPhone status?
    He does not live nearby
    Paul

    You are using a Mac?  If so, use Image Capture to download the images.  It will treat the phone as if it was just a camera.  We do this to download photo taken from our iPhone to our computer that runs a version of iTunes that does not support the camera (and we don't use iPhoto).  The 7 year old Image Capture still works with an iPhone4s.

  • Upload photo to Facebook without tags

    As topic title, how can I did it?
    Message was edited by: Hyper-Summer

    As best I understand it the whole concept is to keep iPhoto and facebook in sync - so if I understand your question the only way to upload photos with no tags is to not have them tagged in iPhoto
