transfer pictures from iPhone 5 to Mac

None of your photos will transfer when synced. You must treat the phone as a digital camera, and import the photos into your favorite photo management app as you would with any other digital camera. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Can anyone help me? I am NOT a tech whizz, but oh so frustrated. On my iphone5, I have 5,900 photos in photo stream in addition to camera roll, last 12 months and untitled album. I want them all OFF MY PHONE. Most of them are on my MAC book pro (although I don't understand why all are not there). I cannot take a photo because "not enough storage". I just want these photos off my phone. Can anyone offer the easiest way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. This Apple tip should cover all of your questions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Post back if you have any additional questions or issues.

HI guys can anyone tell that how to set a password on the iphotos on iphone5s

Sorry, there is no way to set a separate passcode on photos. I believe there are some 3rd party photo apps in the App Store that have this capability.

I find iPhoto to be cumbersome, and use iFunBox (application for Mac) to manage my iPhone photos. You just connect your iPhone to your Mac, run iFunBox, and then you go to the "Camera" folder listed in the application. From there you can manage your photos and videos, delete them, create folders, copy them to your Mac, or open them in any application for editing. Its sort of like using your iPhone as a hard drive. You can even copy photos from your Mac onto your iPhone.

BTW, some people in this thread are being mean to other people. That's not nice. Stop it.

This post is a year old.

Information, like a spring rain, is refreshing and new.

Use your lighting cable to hook your iPhone to your mac, and then it should automatically open iPhoto and iTunes to sync and store your photos!

Yes that sounds simple and I have done that easily in the past with Iphone 4. I just got a new Iphone 5 and plugged it into my computer and nothing happens. In Iphoto it shows my phone and when I click it nothing happens, and no photos from my phone are showing.

it's a great, simple app for transferring pics wirelessly to your mac

i use it every day

1. Connect your iPhone 5 to your computer. iPhoto should automatically open its import window and show your iPhone's images and videos.

If iPhoto doesn't open, you need to turn the option on.

2. Click Import All. Or if you want to import specific items, select those images and videos, then click Import Selected. After your photos import, a dialog will ask you if you want to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll.

3. Choose Delete Photos or Keep Photos. If you delete photos after you import them, you can reduce the size of your Camera Roll and improve backup and restore times. If you want to import the photos to additional computers, keep your photos.

Then you can transfer photos from Mac to iPhone or back.

pos.

If you don't want to run iPhoto just for that, and you're happy looking at the files at a slightly lower level, then TunesGo Retro (Mac) is useful.

It shows the Photo Album of the device as a digital camera (DCIM) directory so you can see all the files, then copy to/from your Mac.

There's a Windows version too, which has proved useful in the past.

what got stuck up your butt?
