iphoto transfer of photos from iphone to iMac
I tried to export 1200 pics from iphone5 to iMac in iPhoto. photos seemed to transfer and I deleted from my phone at prompt. now i go in iphoto and these "new" event "folders" are empty. Where are my pics? I looked in icloud and I see 999 in "my photo stream" and most appear to be the pictures I was working with. How do I get them to my event "folders"? I am afraid my computer will sync with the cloud and I will loose my photos. Please advise.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3
