how to transfer photo album from iPhone to iMac?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
You can. With the phone plugged into your Mac and unlocked launch Image Capture. There you an select any photos on your phone and import it into your library, download to any selected folder on your hard drive or delete from the phone.
I'm just amazed a he fact that apple is developing face recognition but still hasn't fixed the basics. Why should I have to share files or photos across all devices (not safe) to be able to easily download them on my mac? I've spent over two hours trying to transfer a specific folder from my iPhone to my Mac.
Cannot understand why I can't quickly access any folder using my Mac unless it's shared to begin with.
I'm trying to transfer photos albums that I've set up on my iPhone 7S using software 11.2.1 to my Mac computer that is using Sierra 10.12.6 software. I cannot seem to access from my iTunes or my photo app. What do I need to do in order to transfer these photos to my Mac.
thanks,
There are a number of possibilities and what is best may vary depending on your requirements. Your post says macOS Sierra but your signature says Mountain Lion. I'm going to base the answer on macOS Sierra.
One of the easiest is to use iCloud Photo Library. With that, all of your photos will be on your phone, on your Mac and also viewable at iCloud.com. It is completely automatic once turned on. To turn it on in your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Options and put a check mark in front of iCloud Photo Library. On your phone go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn iCloud Photo Library on (and you may also want to turn on Optimize iPhone Storage on that same screen to reduce the storage space required on your phone.

Other methods include:
via USB cable: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
via 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com
via Photo Stream: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
via 3rd party services such as Dropbox
Several ways - options depend on undisclosed information - what OS do you have ( you state OS X 10.8.2 - is that correct?)? What photos software and version are you using? What exactly do you want to do? Keep the iPhone and the Mac synced? Imported selected photos form the iPhone to the Mac? Exactly what?
