I am a new Mac user...

Trying to see/ retrieve/ copy those photos taken from my iphone from my Mac Book. How ah?

Entire new learning curve for me... in Windows... the iphone wld simply show as a harddisk... haha...

Is there a new Mac User Group here? haha...
 

Plug in your iPhone to your Mac and iPhoto application will automatically run.
If not, click on iPhoto application. Then IMPORT your photos. Done. ;)
 

Import All in iPhotos, then when prompted, "Delete All".

Sync again via iTunes to get the photos imported back into your iPhone again.

Use the application "Preview" and you'll be able to import a list of photos from your iPhone to the desired destination in your Mac. ;)
 

Thanks everyone. Your advice works!

Question:

1) When i sync again and i want to delete those pics from Iphone from Preview/iphoto, can i do so?

2) I noticed that only photos were downloaded. Does it mean that i need to use imovie to download videos?

3) Can i create different albums on my iphone (i.e Portfolio Pictures) using Preview/iphoto?

Thanks! :)

alternatively, just email yourself... i'm too lazy to unplug my iphone cable from the mains, so i just email myself and download from computer :bsmilie:

Anyway, it allows user to select, parts of the long clip to send out. I had to break the clips into many emails... haha...
