How to import photo library from iPhone?

Hello everyone,

I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.

I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?

Thanks,
Beto.

MacBook Pro 13" MB991, Mac OS X (10.6.1), iPhone 3G OS 3.1.2

Does the phone show up in the Source (or left hand) pane in iPhoto?

WHat happens when you click on it?

And as this is more of an iPhone query, have you posted on the iPhone forum?

When I click on it, it shows the pictures taken with the iPhone only, and not the others.

I have no problem importing thigns from iPhone to Windows, that's why I posted here. Will try over there, thanks.

Do you use iTunes to sync them to the phone on Windows? Have you tried the same on the Mac?

iPhone is not designed for this. No support for importing from the Photo Library, only designed to import pix you took on the camera.

You can look at PhoneView, which will pull photos from the Photo Library. HOWEVER, these will be down-sized low-res photos, not high-quality originals. You'd be MUCH better off using a USB drive to copy the photos from the PC and transfer them to the Mac.
