How to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone4S

Hello guys,


I apologize if this is a stupid question, but - how do I put photos from my MacBookPro (OS X 10.5.8. Leopard) to iPhone 4S ?

How can I transfer files from one to another and back?


Do I need som app? Or is it much simpler to do?

I use PhotoSync available from the App store which seems to work really well and with the Mac App you can wirelessly transfer your photos direct into iPhoto completing the missing link for wireless syncing for me.

Then you just run iTunes to transfer your Mac photos to iPhone 4s and follow the steps below:

1) In Mac, create a folder with the photos you want to transfer.

2) In iTunes, press your device name and switch to the Photos tab in the right panel.

3) Choose the folder you just created.

4) Click the Apply button to start syncing photos from your Mac to your iPhone.

Besides, iPhoto is another way for you to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone 4s.

Firstly, how to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.

Connect the device to your Mac. Here are three ways:

1. Drag files or folders from the Finder to the Photos window.

2. Drag files or folders from the Finder to the Photos icon in the Dock.

3. In Photos, choose File > Import. Select the photos or videos you want and click Review for Import. If you selected multiple photos or videos, select the ones you want to import and click Import [number] Selected or Import All New Photos.

Secondly, how to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone 4s.

Connect iPhone 4s to your Mac, and open iTunes.

Choose your iPhone, click "Photo", select a folder, and then choose "Sync".

Important Note: When syncing photos from computer to iPhone or iPad with iTunes, you will lose all the previous photos stored in Photo Library.

Hope this can help you.
