OK, I'll admit that normally, I use my Windows machine with the scan and fax wizard to transfer pictures off of my IPhone 5 to a jpg file on my actual computer. I have somewhat figured out in IPhoto how to do this on the Mac, but I've had about three of four people on this list who have absolutely insisted that I am practically stupid for not seeing this, but they claim that I can use Image Capture to transfer photos from my IPhone. They told me they understand that this app normally is for capturing pictures from a scanner which is attached or from a webcam etc, but it also would do this as well. OK, well you all are gonna have to tell me what I'm missing then. I've looked everywhere that I know there is to look within the app, and do not see any way to make this happen. All that I see in my devices table is my scanner, and that's pretty much it. Yes, I did try to expand the devices category within the table up at the top, and yes, I made sure the disclosure triangle was toggled to show, and not to hide. I thought maybe I needed to enable something in the preferences to make it look for IPhones, but that didn't work, as there is no preferences dialog in this app to start with. I even quit ITunes wondering if that had something to do with it, and before doing so, I went to the photos tab of my IPhone in ITunes and insured that sync photos was unchecked, although frankly, that wouldn't really matter, as sync photos within ITunes is mainly only used to sync pictures from your mac to the phone, not the other way around. My thing is I don't want to use IPhoto either because I have about 12 pictures on my phone and obviously, neither IPhoto nor IOS gives them any sort of descriptive names by default. For this reason, I don't really know which picture is which, so now going back trying to rename them is going to be a major pain the ass. Not only that, but I'm not really very proficient with IPhoto, which doesn't help matters. I do have some pictures however that are very important I need to get out of the phone. Yeah, I could just e-mail them to myself, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose, not to mention is quite inconvenient at times. I suppose that theoretically I could just upload them with my Dropbox app to the photos directory as I do have the app on my phone. I'd just have to go set it to automatically upload photos as I shut that off. There's gotta be an easier way though. I can't believe how simple it is on Windows to do this compared to on the Mac. It just seems like in OSX, there are so many more hoops I have to jump through to get this done, which is extremely aggravating.
Anyway, if anyone knows anything, let me know. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
