What's the simplest way to transfer photos from iPhone to MacBook

Since AirDrop evidently is worthless, how do you quickly move pictures from your iPhone (or iPad) to you computer?  I've used various services like DropBox and DeskConnect, even email.  Is there something built in to the OS that would let me do this really quickly?

Fair enough answer but that's not what I'm looking for.  Needs to be wireless (wifi or bluetooth) for my needs.  And, I know you can use Image Capture (I use ot for scanning quite often) but to clarify, I'm not about to wait for iPhoto to open while my photo stream syncs over iCloud.  I'm looking for a 10 second process, not 5 minutes.
I really wish DeskConnect was built in to the operating system, like AirDrop is for Apple Devices.  Also wish I could use bluetooth or adhoc wifi for file transfers.

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • What's the easiest way to transfer photos from PC to ipad?  I've tried using itunes, but adding more photos erases photos already loaded.  Help!

    How to transfer photos from PC to ipad without erasing photos already loaded.  The only option I find in itunes is to synch, which only transfers into one album on the ipad.  I'm sure I'm just missing an easy step.  Transferring photos from PC to android is a snap, can't be this hard with ipad.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • What is the easiest way to send photos from my PC to my Ipad?

    What is the easiest way to send photos from my PC (Windows 7, Live photo gallery)_ to my Ipad2

    I would use DropBox if you want to transfer your whole photo library.  The iPad is set up to make it very difficult to transfer content off of it.  This is to protect copyrighted materials and prevent file sharing.
    Make sure you have the latest copy of DropBox on your iPad and it will automatically upload all your photos and videos to the Camera Uploads folder on DropBox.  Keep in mind this may take a long time to get them all uploaded, especially if you have a lot of videos and a slow WiFi connection.  It won't work over 3G / 4G must be a Wifi connection.  Once they are uploaded to Dropbox it is simply a matter of then downloading them to the place you want to download them to.

    What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?
    I'm doing role reversal with these two.  The newer imac is becoming our business computer, the older one will be our personal computer from now on until it gives out.  For the record, I have Carbonite on the business unit.  Should be a no-brainer, right?  (Which is precisely why I'm asking!)
    Thanks for whatever timely and accurate advise you may have.

    Thanks. I stumbled across migration assistant later that afternoon in a google search. Just finished using it today to do the deed. Appreciate your quick response!

  • What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
    iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
    iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

    What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
