Why Transfer Photos from iPhone to MacBook?

Many people who own iPhones might never transfer their photos and videos they take from the phone to the MacBook.

In this day and age, it’s really easy to leave all of your images on your phone as storage capacities and phone capabilities have really improved. Even if this seems like you, it’s still a good idea to know how to transfer your data to a computer if for any reason you decide to in the future. That being said, here are the main reasons to transfer images:

Storage

Some iPhones, depending on the model and capacity, just don’t offer a lot of storage. This means you can easily fill up the storage limits on your phone after taking a few hundred photos, which is really easy to do, especially if you’re a photographer! Even though some models can be equipped with large storage capacity, you’ll want to keep space on your phone for other things like apps, music, videos or other images.

Editing

Whether you only know the basics of photography or consider yourself a full-time and professional photographer, you’ll want the ability to edit any photos you take. While new software on the iPhone makes this better than ever on your phone, a proper photo editing program is what the real pros use and you’ll only be able to do that if you transfer your photos from your phone to your Mac.

Backup

Another reason to transfer your photos from your iPhone to your MacBook Pro is to make backup copies of all the images. In the event you lose your phone, it becomes inoperational, or gets stolen, having a backup copy of all the photos and videos you have is important. It would be terrible to lose all of those memories and without backing up the images, you just might. You could back up to an external hard drive as well but your MacBook Pro can serve the same purpose.

How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to MacBook Pro

Ok, if you are ready to transfer your photos from your phone to your Mac for the reasons above or any other, follow the steps below. Depending on how many images are on your phone, this process could take some time, so it’s a good idea to have your phone and your MacBook both plugged into a power source while making the transfer happen. If you are only transferring a few photos, you shouldn’t have to worry about that.

Lighting-to-USB Cable Transfer

This is one of the most common ways to transfer your images from your iPhone to your Mac and is really easy to do. A Lightning-to-USB cable is simply the charging phone for your iPhone. The Lighting plugin will go into your phone and the USB end will plug into your computer.

  1. Connect your iPhone to your MacBook Pro using a Lightning-to-USB cable.
  2. Unlock your phone and confirm it recognizes the Mac if prompted.
  3. The Photos app on your MacBook should open once the connection is made, open this app, if not, and select your iPhone from the window on the left.
  4. You should see all of your images and videos in the camera roll on the Photo app.
  5. Click Import All New Items in the top right-hand corner of the camera roll or go through and select certain photos/videos that you wish to transfer.

AirDrop Transfer

AirDrop is another easy way to transfer all of your images over to your computer. You need to make sure that your Bluetooth is turned on on both your iPhone and MacBook Pro for AirDrop to work correctly.

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings.
  2. Touch General.
  3. Touch AirDrop.
  4. Make sure the AirDrop is set to Everyone.
  5. On your MacBook open the Finder.
  6. Click Go on the top menu.
  7. Click on AirDrop.
  8. The AirDrop window in the Finder will open, click on Everyone in the bottom portion of this window.
  9. The two devices should now recognize each other and you can continue with the transfer.
  10. Open your Photos app on your Phone.
  11. Select all of the images you wish to transfer.
  12. Touch the sharing button in the bottom left corner.
  13. Once you see a pop up on your MacBook asking about the photo transfer, click Accept.
