Q: How to get photos from iphone to computer

My wife has totally loaded up her iPhone with close to 3000 pictures and wants to get them into iPhoto so that she can delete them from the camera.  I have it set up right now to go to her computer but iPhoto has crashed 9 times and I hear grinding but no sign of getting new photos in.  I can recall that a digital camera produces an icon from which you can drag anything into a folder on the desktop.  Is there any way to do this on this camera as this download attempt is MASSIVE?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

    I have done the steps that should work, BUT....when I open iPhoto, it keeps grinding away going back and forth from the iPhone icon to the Events icon.  This goes on and on until it crashes and then I click re open and the sequence continues.  If there was a way to see the actual photos on the phone, I could select some, and then delete after importing.  As I said originally, I just wish I could just see an icon on the desktop like you do when hooking up the camera.  We are off for vacation next week and would like to download and delete all photos to free up some space.  Thanks for any help.

    I tried firing up iPhoto on my wife's CPU and then plugging the phone in to the USB port.  The phone icon shows up in the menu OK but says there is nothing there when there are 2000+ photos needing to be downloaded and deleted from the phone.  She has OS 10.6.8 on an iMac.  You can see the version of iPhoto as well below.  I would like to get these photos onto the CPU soon so I hope someone can help.  Thanks.
