    This was exactly what I was looking for. You got to it on point unlike some useless blogs, that show some 20 steps that get you nowhere. Thank you for making this.

    Hi @Daniel, How can I transfer all the media to a Mac and at the same time delete it from the iPhone?

    • @NSTLgng
      @NSTLgng 10 місяців тому +9

      Exactly, that’s the whole fucking point… I want to get rid of storage. Ridiculous how apple makes you jump through hoops to clear storage.

    This gave me hope to use my iPhone again, the "Keep Original" options is what fixed it for me, currently the easiest way for windows users to import is to use the Windows 10 "Photos" app and import from device. This would usually always fail, but when I changed from Automatic to Keep Original, all of my imports, large or small, went flawlessly
    thank you so much for making this video

    @manalilovesmusic Рік тому +2

    This was great and to the point. I do have a couple questions. Please excuse me if they have already been answered, I am a NOOB here.
    1. Once the transfer is done from iphoto to mac, if I were to delete them from the iphone, I should still be able to access those photos from my mac, right since they are not part of icloud storage?
    2. If I were to transfer photos from Mac to an external drive, would I lose photo quality?
    Thanks in advance!

    Question: Once you have downloaded the pics which app would you then use to organize them, make albums, maybe do minor edits?

    Actually a legend. This method also helped me isolate corrupted video files that were the REAL reason holding up my import. After I found these 2 I could import normally on photos.

    Hi Daniel, thanks for this video! I still have 2 questions: 1. Is there also a way to find and delete duplicate photo's.video's from the phone automatically, so I don't download them twice? 2. If I first download photos from the phone, and then from Icloud, is there a way to not download pictures from Icloud that I have already have downloaded from the phone?

  • @zlatkobeatz
    @zlatkobeatz Рік тому +3

    Thank you very much Daniel!
    I used Windows & Android Phones for my whole life where it's just simply choosing the folder and drag & drop ... what can I say ... Apple is easy to use they said ... it's very intuitive they said ...
    I recorded some training clips and had 4k on and iCloud completely freezes with 4K Videos and doesn't do anything, so I have to watch tutorials by some Indian dudes who explain this stuff ... because it's so intuitive and simply easy to use 🤓 (after trying anything it's still stuck in sync mode and nothing happens)

    Asking this question for anyone who may need the answer. Like me. Although I could just go try it right now, lol. Does the actual cable/cord matter? Is a charging cord the same to transfer data? I remember there was a time they weren’t the same.

  • @ericknorpp8238
    @ericknorpp8238 Рік тому

    Awesome thanks, I have a quick question, My iPhone was stolen last week and right before I made a Back up through iTunes but had it stored to an external hard drive, My new iPhone has half the space the old one did and I already have it set up but would like to know if it is possible to some get the photos at least from that older stored data base with out having to restore my new iPhone from the older data base? Firstly because not everything I had there will even fit in my new phone, but also I do not want everything that was on the older iPhone, just want to try and save the pictures if that makes sense, I tried digging into the date base but all the files have a weird extension only and cannot be reviewed ... Thanks I would appreciate it if there is anyway to do that...

    I have an Iphone 13 Pro & Macbook Pro M1 2020

    I followed instructions but couldn't find what you recommended, so the woman I am dating went to Finder and typed Image capture. I opened Image Capture. I then created a folder on my Mac, opened the folder, and went back to the images shown on my iPhone. I went to edit, clicked select all, and then dragged and dropped all into the folder on my desktop.

Now I am transferring my 200GB worthy photos and videos from my iPhone to directly an external Hard disk since my Mac has also run out of storage :p

    Wow! Thanks man. I haven't physically downloaded photos to my mac with a cable since before Apple quit using iTunes for this. I spent ages trying to download all my images saved to the iCloud (over 30000), but as I have an older Mac, the Photos app won't sync with iCloud. The alternative was to log on to iCloud over the web and try and download though that...only 1000 photos at a time though. EVEN THEN...nothing at all would download at all. I hadn't known this new method to download photos with a cable until I came across your video. Life saver!!

    Thanks for the tutorial! I have never used Image Capture to transfer photos from devices previously. Just curious, why not use the built-in Apple Photos app? Also, what's the best way to keep the photos on my iPhone synced with my Mac? I can import from my iPhone, but doesn't seem like I can push from the Mac. Using the Finder > Device > Sync works, but then it shows up on my iPhone as "From my Mac" - not a native iPhone folder.

    I have a iPhone 13 Pro & a Fully loaded MackBook Pro Mid-2012 MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 with the Samsung T7 1TB external drive and I wanted to know if I can still edit with the two? Also if…. I was to buy the Sony ZV-E10 camera can I load the photos into my MacBook Pro then do the editing?

    Hi, did you mention how to keep all the photos in sequential order ? If so, I missed that, every time I transfer a bunch that I’ve sorted, they get all mixed up, makes it sooo much more work. Thanks
