    Thanks for your fast reply.  I did indeed manage with iTunes and I have to say I still find it complicated to get all the right buttons lined up!  I 'knew' that iTunes should do it but it took me a lot of tries to press the right buttons at the right time and not switch on iCloud to take all my photos which exceeded my storage allowance.  So thank you for the reassurance.  Sometimes I believe my iTunes has buttons only for me that no one else in the world has!!!  Thanks again.

    Thanks for a quick reply.  I had sync issues with my mac generally and also with iCloud and very limited space so the iTunes method worked for me.  Being new to it all details and specific help is what I need.  Thanks.
