Q: how do I get to photo albums on my IOS devices to MAC

The photo file from my MAC was deleted somehow and all photos in their various albums were deleted.  Those albums were synced to my IOS devices but now I want to get those albums back on my MAC.  How do I do that?

    How did you sync the photos from your Mac to the iOS devices?

     

    If you synced the photos with iTunes to the iOS devices, do not enable iCloud Photo Library on the iOS devices until you copied the photos back.  That will erase all iTunes synced photos.

    You can send iTunes synced photos to your Mac using Mail, or use the Share menu to save them to the camera roll, and then you can download them using a USB connection.
