Two ways:


1 - launch Image Capture, connect your iPhone to the iMac with the USB cable and upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop. Check to make sure the photos are safely in the folder on the desktop and then use Image Capture to delete the photos from your iPhone.


2 - if you're using iPhoto launch iPhoto, connect your iPhone to the iMac with the USB cable and import the photos into iPhoto. Next disconnect the iPhone and check to make sure the photos are safely in iPhoto by quitting iPhoto, reopening it and checking for the photos. Close iPhoto, launch Image Capture, connect the iPhone and use Image Capture to delete the photos from your iPhone.


NOTE: always verify that the photos are safely on the hard drive, either in iPhoto or the folder on the Desktop, before deleting from the iPhone.
