How to Download Photos from iPhone

When I was using iTunes on my Windows XP computer, the photos from Camera Roll on my iPhone were automatically downloaded by iTunes in a specific folder on my computer. Now, on my Mac this does not happen automatically any longer and I have no clue how to manually download the photos from Camera Roll either. How could I have the photos downloaded, ideally automatically, from the iPhone on my Mac? Thank you.

MBP 15", 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD @7200rpm, Mac OS X (10.6.2), IPhone 3G, v.3.1.2

You need to use iPhoto on your Mac for photos.
Open iPhoto and you should see your iPhone when it is connected.
You can then click on the iPhone in iPhoto and it will let you import the photos.

See. So it's not automatic anymore, like it used to be in Windows. Correct?

It is automatic if you go to your iPhoto prefs>General>Connecting camera opens .......

Yes.. that is the best option using Mac, the IPhoto will help you to manage all your photos in IMac, easily and accurate to document all them.

With PC that is not possible and always depends if the USB port wants to recognize or not the IPhone. Then you have to start to test in all the ports. Sometimes that desperate me.

Now with IMac and OS and IPhoto you have all what you need to move your Photos between IPhone and Mac.
