    transfer photes from iphone to mac using icloud ?

    Connect the iPhone to your Mac and launch iPhoto.  It will detect the photos and indicate those that are not already in the library so you can import them.
    Be careful in letting iPhoto delete the photos from the iPhone.  It's best to delete them manually from the iPhone so you have more control over what gets deleted.
    Once you have your iPhone and iPhoto setup with Photo Stream to automatically import all new photos taken with your iPhone it'll be a seamless transfer:

  • Is there a way to make a video call from my iPhone 4 to a non apple phone? Also is it possible to transfer pics using bluetooth from iPhone to other company mobiles? Its a great phone but sometimes I feel struck inside it.

    Is there a way to make a video call from my iPhone 4 to a non apple phone? Also is it possible to transfer pics using bluetooth from iPhone to other company mobiles? Its a great phone but sometimes I feel struck inside it.

    You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
    Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.

  • How can I use Imessage from Iphone to mac?

    Hello
    I am a new user for the awesome new feature Imessage
    And I have a question: how can I send a message to an IPad or IPod or Mac or IPhone from IPhone and Mac?
    Thanks

    To send from the iPhone to the mac or Ipad you need an email address to send to, instead of a phone number.
    on the iPad or mac you need to setup Messages. I do not have mesages on the mac and do not have an iPad but I have set it up on my iPod Touch and I assume it is similar.
    Settings>Messages>
    > iMessage > ON
    > Send Read Reveipts > ON or OFF your choice
    > Received At > [email protected]
    Enter your valid email address in the "Received At" field.
    As long as the email is valid it should work, and I assume you will need a different email for the iPad and Mac.

  • I'd like to use video from iPhone to iMac using airplay

    Hi!
    Sometimes I watch interner video on my iPhone 5.
    Please help me to understand the following:
    IS IT POSSIBLR TO WATCH THE SAME VIEOS USING AIRPLAY FROM IPHONE TO IMAC?
    Thanks in advance

    Not by design though I think there are 3rd party apps that may allow this.
    For example:

    Never tried it - there may be a demo - let us know if it works.

  • How to import bookmarks from iPhone to Mac using iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to import bookmarks from an iPhone onto my desktop (iMac)? All of our bookmarks were accidentally deleted from our mini mac, which then deleted them from our desktop with iCloud. My wife has all the bookmarks on her phone but we can't figure out how to sync them. The only info we could find was to click the info button on iTunes and then sync, but there is no info button. Any help?

    If you have OS X 10.9 Mavericks, then at this time there is no direct syncing of bookmarks, contacts nor calendar items between a Mac and an iOS device. All synching is done via iCloud. If there's another way to transfer your bookmarks from the iPhone to your Mac, I'm not aware of it, unless there's a third-party browser for the iPhone that could import the bookmarks from Safari and then transfer them by some other method. But if you set your wife's iPhone up to your iCloud account, that should then sync.
    Regards.

  • How to use imessage from my ipod and have it come up as my phone number, not my email?

    how do i get it to use my phone number and not my email?

    If you have an iPhone with Messages enabled, on your iPod touch open Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and tick your phone number and unmark your email address. Doing this, you will send and receive messages from your phone number, so you will get the same messages as on your iPhone at the same time

  • How do I upload photos from iPhone to Mac using Photos

    I have photos on my iPhone that I wish to upload to my iMac and then share using Skype. How do I do that now that my iPhoto library has been converted to Photos?
    (1) I do not want to send my photos via iCloud
    (2) I do not want to copy any photos from my iMac to my iPhone.
    Why did this get so complicated? Why can't I drag and drop?
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

    See the instructions quoted below from Photos help https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
    Import photos from a camera or iOS device
    Connect a camera, iPad, iPhone, or other iOS device to your computer with a USB cable.
    Make sure the camera or device is turned on and the camera is set to the correct mode for importing photos.For information on which mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera. If your camera has a “sleep” mode, make sure it’s disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download.
    Open Photos (if it isn’t already open), then click Import in the toolbar.Note: The Import button only appears when a camera or storage device is connected.Photos displays all the photos and videos on the device. You can choose to import a selection of photos or all the new photos on the device.
    Do one of the following:
    Import all new photos: Click Import All New Photos.
    Import a selection of photos: Click the photos you want to import, then click Import Selected.
    If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.Photos imports your photos. To cancel importing, click Stop Import.
    When all photos have been imported, disconnect the camera or device from your computer.
    Imported photos appear in the Last Import album in Albums view.
    If you have photos taken with a film camera, you can import them into Photos by converting them to digital files (using the Image Capture app and a home scanner). After importing the digital files into Photos, you can edit them and add them to albums and projects, just as you can any other digital photos. You can also use the Image Capture app to set Photos to open automatically whenever you connect your camera. For more information, open Image Capture in the Applications folder, then choose Help > Image Capture Help.
    Tip: You can change the date and time of scanned images in Photos; select the image and choose Image > Adjust Date and Time.

  • How do i move music from iphone to mac?

    Our mac does not have our full library (from our old PC), our iphones do.  when I turned on the "library sharing" it deleted the songs off our PC and the library now matches our mac. However, our Iphones have all of our songs. How can we export those songs back to the mac/pc?

  • Can you use facetime from cellular iPhone to wifi iPad Mini?

    I've noticed I can connect from my iPhone 4S to an iPad Mini when we are both using wifi.
    Howver, I cannot connect to the iPad when I am using cellular only (no wifi) on the iPhone (the iPad is wifi only).
    I can connect to other iPhones when we both use cellular, so I know it's not an issue due to a carrier restriction of my cellular use (Verizon).
    Is there an incompatiblity between using facetime from a cellular device to a wifi-only device? I would have though Apple would have a bridge between internet and cellular data for this.
    Thanks

    This is copied from the Apple iOS features website.
    *FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Sometimes I find the "small print" to be even more confusing, but the way that I interpret this is that you have to go cellular to cellular. Cellular to WiFi doesn't work. It does seem to make sense, if you are sending the "message" or trying to connect over cellular, the person on the other end would need to pick up the "message" via cellular since it was sent that way by you.

  • When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

    When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
    If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

    This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
    Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume)  or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

    No, because there is no Facetime app for Windows.  You would need to use something that is available for Windows like Skype.

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?
