Q: Transfer photos from iPhone directly to an external HD?
HEllo guys,
question for the experts on here...2 years back made the huge mistake of buying the macbook air with flash storage, and in one iphone backup and some itunes music the hd was almost full to the brim. now i cant even make a back up of my phone through itunes because of lack of storage. Last night i managed to back up my iphone directly to my externalHD with some help from these forums... after that( and deleting The old back ups off my computer to try and save space) i tried to import all of my photos from my iphone into iphoto (10,000+ photos) with the hope that once they were on my computer, i would be able to back them up onto my external Hd. However when i tried importing them to my computer i kept getting an "error could not import photo" a quarter of the way through. I also tried to import it to my external hd by holding option when i booted the iphoto app, and creating a new library linked to my external hd, but got the same error right around the same time it was importing. My question is, is there any way to just directly import the files from the iphone onto my external HD without having to use iphoto??
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2
