I actually missed out some info, so I'll repost the previous info, amended, and more basic. Start on your Mac desktop. Create a new folder (in the Finder, File>New Folder) OR if you already have a folder designated by iTunes as your folder that iTunes syncs photos from, use that if you like. As long as you know what folder is the folder iTunes uses to sync photos to/from with your iPhone, and where it is on your Mac, then you can do the following: On my Mac, (I run 10.6.8) I created a folder called 'iPhone Pics' and I keep it [anywhere - on the desktop if you like]. I keep it out of the way in my home folder. But to make it easily accessible, I dragged the icon of my iPhone Pics folder into a sidebar of an open window. (To organise the sidebar better, in the Finder go to Finder>Preferences and see the 'sidebar' button to tidy up). This way, every time I open a new window, my iPhone Pics folder is right there on the left in the sidebar. I click once on that and then I can see the contents of the iPhone Pics folder, and add to it or delete things. To tell iTunes that I wanted the 'iPhone Pics' folder to be the default folder so that every time I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it uses 'iPhone Pics as the one single folder - the master pics folder, if you like - you simply have iTunes open with the iPhone plugged up by USB, and in the bar on the left of the iTunes window, select 'iPhone', and then see the tabs on the right, click on 'photos'. The first option is for selecting a folder to sync photos with. I navigated to my iPhone Pics folder, and now that is set as the default folder for syncing all photos on my iPhone. Incidentally you can create folders within that folder, and so I have many folders separating subjects like one for landscapes, one for portraits etc. Then it's just a case of dropping jpegs into those folders straight on my mac desktop and syncing the iPhone. A few notes: I only ever sync locally to my mac, I don't use iCloud. Also, the folder and pics in those folders managed via the mac desktop can't be edited while on the iPhone. EG, if you want to delete a pic, you do it on the Mac, and then sync the phone. Hope this makes sense. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
