    Are they in an album in iPhoto? If that is where put them, then, when you hook up your new device to iTunes, click on the Photos option, select "Sync Photos", then select the photos you want to sync to your new phone, and sync.

     

    Cheers,

    Do you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, on your device? If you do, then all of your photos are housed and "sync'd" via iCloud. I am not aware of any way for you to move an iPhoto Album onto your device if you are using iCloud Beta Library.

     

    However, I shall put a bat call out to léonie, our resident iPhoto, Aperture, and iCloud Photo Library (and how to make them all play nicely) expert.

     

    Hopefully, léonie will be able to get back to you shortly!

    but when i hook up new device to itunes, and click on Photos, there is no option to Sync Photos.

    What are you seeing, when you click on Photos?  Is there an error message? What does it say?

    Which version of iTunes are you running?

    but when i hook up new device to itunes, and click on Photos, there is no option to Sync Photos.

    Just to be sure- where are you clicking on "Photos"?

    Are you doing it as described here?  Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support

     

    1. Open iTunes and connect your device.
    2. Locate and click on your device.
    3. Click the Photos tab.
    4. Click the box next to "Sync Photos from."

    If your photos are in an app, such as iPhoto or Aperture, follow these steps.If your photos are in a folder or folders, follow these steps.

    If your photos are in an app

    1. Choose the application you want to sync photos from in the pop-up menu.
    2. Choose to sync all photos or selected photos.
    3. Select "Include videos" to sync videos stored in that same app.
    4. Click Apply.
