"From My Mac" album

Hey everyone,

I recently moved all my photos from my PC using a third party app called EaseUS MobiMover and after transferring almost 10,000 photos, it created some random album called "From MobiMover". I thought this is because it was a third party app but when I used iTunes, it said "From PC" and now it's super annoying to me. Here are all my issues with this.

  1. None of the photos are in the camera roll??
  2. The album isn't being deleted and when I use the third party app to delete it, I also lose the photos.
  3. I deleted all the photos from my Android device so I can't format my iPhone and use move to iOS

I don't use iCloud Photos because, again, 10,000 photos. It's almost 25GB of photos and videos.

There has to be a solution apple has released which isn't crazy public

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Sachit R.

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

Transferring Photos from iPhone to PC does not require any third party App.


Neither Apple nor Apple User Community is answerable on third party Apps.


Since all your photos are still in iPhone they can be easily transferred toy your Mac / PC.

  • Connect your iPhone to Mac / PC using cable provided by Apple.

For Mac: Use native Photos App and import.

For PC: Open Windows Explorer: Go to Network: Expand and look for your iPhone: Clcik and Drag all your photos to any folder in your PC
