- In this video I cover how to transfer photos from an iPhone or iPad to a Mac or Windows computer.
I demonstrate how to transfer photos wirelessly using iCloud Photos and AirDrop with other recommendations of using cloud services like Google Photos, Amazon Photos, or Microsoft OneDrive.
If you're not a fan of using any cloud or don't want to transfer wirelessly, I also cover the option of plugging your device the old fashioned way of using a USB cable to plug your iPhone or iPad directly to your Mac or PC Computer.
I also have some other tricks to scan documents and import photos to your Mac.

Thanks, Joel. Just downloaded 5 years of images off my phone to a hard drive for safekeeping. I can now free up that space on the phone for the next gazillion images. Cheers from Down Under mate.
how long did it take? it takes a lifetime to transfer 65.000 media files for me.
Thanks so much! Saved me a little from the cable mess. A little LUL for the "good ole' USB cable" USBA to lightning though. I have that cable and it works with all my chargers as well but I need the USBC to lightning one for my Mac. Then my wife needs the USBC to USBC cable for her phone.
Airdrop saves the day, even if it does not work as elegant as one year ago.
Your "tutorial" was awesome. I'm a beginner, so the computer language is still a bit like Greek. Thanks for a very intelligent, thorough presentation. I'll be watching more and so fortunate you are out there to help.
I really appreciate your kind words @Marie Strauss Siegel!

This video is the best Apple Ad ever. I would've considered going back to Windows potentially if I didn't see this video. It's hilarious when you see things glitching in a tutorial video and I really appreciate that you left that in. Just goes to show that windows it's not that well polished, or the device was underpowered.
LOL, @DanHolland1! If I had a dollar for every glitch I had with any of my tutorials on a Windows device, my bank account would sure be happier!

If I need to cross the street.
1) I can walk
2) I can skip
3) I can crawl
4) I can sing while crossing
Etc.etc.etc. The options are crazy!
Thanks Joel. Could you perhaps assist with a Mac 'Photos' app issue? Having moved from Windows to Mac only just recently I have also migrated all of my photos to the 'Photos' app. Whilst 'Keyword' and 'Location' description are self explanatory, I am not sure what to type into the 'Caption' and 'Title' sections of each photo to make perfect sense when at a later stage one has to work with the collection. I am also wondering if I could now delete all of the jpegs in the 'Pictures' folder, with the exception of the 'Photos Library' file? Thanks for any help you could offer, Ralf
Thanks Joel! Is this how you’d recommend getting photos from my husband’s phone (& now my teenager has a phone)? Using airdrop maybe. I’m the main family photographer & store them, but my husband takes some occasionally I’d like to keep together. I haven’t been sure what is the best way to get his photos with mine (without having all mine go to his device, that would be awful for him) I guess that’s the main one. I’ll just let my daughter airdrop me occasional photos she wants kept with family photos.
Hey, welcome back. Question.can you transfer directly to an Mac external hard drive instead of into the Mac it’s self.?
Great question @Michal Kalish!
Are you wanting to directly plug in an iPhone or device directly to an external drive and not involve a Mac at all?
There are some external hard drives on the market that are designed to plug in SD cards and memory cards directly into an external drive without a computer, but I'm not sure if works with a phone or iPad.
There is also another device that I will link below that is specifically designed to plug directly into an iPhone or iPad to backup files and such. I'll link below for reference:
SanDisk 128GB iXpand Flash Drive Go for iPhone and iPad
amzn.to/3KyDSsV
www.amazon.com/shop/joelfeld
Other than that, you would need the Mac to be the middle connection to a larger desktop external hard drive. From there you could copy photos to it, but you would still need a computer.
I hope that makes sense and helps! Thank you for your continued support!

Great info, a lot to digest. Which method would be best for me? I have my iphone backed up to iCloud, but not my computer. (Reason,
If I delete a photo from my phone, I don’t want it automatically deleted from my Mac). Photos used to transfer automatically until they disabled the auto feature ( I stream?). I’m on the older side now and getting lost. I’m on Ventura. Thanks so much.
When you transfer video to pc is it same size as in iphone ? When I transfer video size is few mb less
Photo Stream worked great for this, when you don't want or need every photo stored in the cloud. It would seamlessly add photos to my iMac and the do a backup of all my photos with Time Machine. No Apple has killed photo stream so there goes that. Looks like I'll have to go back to the stone ages with a cable.
Will i keep all the exif/date and time data doing it like this?
is there ways to download photo to Mac / PC by album managed in the phone already ??
so things are so messy... when transferred to the Mac / Window/ SSD drive...
thx
Any plan to release a video about the new shared library in Apple photo ? How to backup and how it works :)
Hi @Sylvain Alain!
Yes, that is for sure on my list. I'm actually using the shared library feature to take advantage of storage so I can utilize 4TB instead of the 2TB for iCloud.
I'll explain more in the video once I have it finished!
Thank you for your continued support!

Hi, can anyone tell me if all the edits and so forth will transfer over? I want to be able to revert to original or see all edits, etc. Thank you!
hi can i use a dell computer 11 to copy from my iphone to my computer
Hi Joel
When
You want to connect iPhone to put some photos that isn’t there windows has a habit of download others that has already been downloaded which is annoying on the old photos window 10.
Example same photo IMG_6997 and IMG_6997 (1)
When photos are imported do they still appear on the phone?
Hello, can I transfer from Iphone15 Maxpro to Google storage without going into the iPhone cloud, I am new to iPhone, thanks
Hi @baccaraty!
You are not required to use iCloud Photos. You could certainly turn keep that syncing option off and sync photos only to Google Photos. You'll need the Google Photos App on your iPhone and then you can start syncing your photos there vs iCloud.
I don't have a video that is specific to Google Photos, but I do have one that is a comparison between iCloud, Google and Microsoft that i'lll link down below for reference:

I have 283 pics on my iphone but it only shows 26 completely random pics in the windows photo app, how can I get all of them show up as easily as you did in the video???
When I try to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac Studio it just doesn't. I have tried different cables and checking updates. Just doesn't import photos at all. Apple support says I need to bigger I cloud but ive never had this issue with my laptop. any ideas.
If we delete the photo on the phone, does it also get deleted on the computer?
omg, digital images! That is what I want. I don't want "pay forever" cloud bullshit. I wanna download the photos to import into Lightroom!
Let's just pray this option will last a bit... cause we all know Apple. It's gonna go sooner or later. oO
thank God you put time stamps too much rambling all I want to know is how to do this process with a cable.
The information is there @jevaze, just need to actually watch the content.

Hi what if the image capture doesn’t show the photos and what if the library is just showing the ‘Preparing the photo library’ but not opening!!? Have 1lakh photos and dnt know how to do it!! Please help.
Hi @poojavyas6892!
Do you use Apple Photos? If you own a Mac, using Apple Photos would be my first choice in photo management. If this is the case, you would not import from Image Capture to Apple Photos, you would just go straight to Apple Photos.
Have you rebooted your Mac? What macOS are you currently on?
There is also an option to repair your Apple Photo Library. I've linked an Apple Support article below for reference. This can help with a variety of issues and won't hurt to do it just because.

4:19 The photo you took at here shows 4:17PM....BUT, after you AirDropped it to your MAC, at 5:09 it shows the photo was taken at 4:18 PM...however, that is not the time the photo was taken, it was the time you AirDropped it. WHY? I notice AirDrop will download 30 photos from 30 different dates with the proper dates each photo was taken...then one day, it decides to download the last 3 months of photos with the Date Created = to the date you downloaded it to your MAC. The original date and time stamp on the photos seems to suddenly get buried in the metadata but AirDrop arbitrarily starts to hide it from the file in Finder as your video shows happening. The photo on your mac should show 4:17. After YEARS of using AirDrop w/o this problem, TONIGHT this AirDrop process has decided to show all my past month's photos as taken TONIGHT when I downloaded them UUUUUUUGGGHH! WHY? No one on the web seems to know how to fix this.
Have you heard about the Pareto principle? That is why. When companies develop new stuff they use the 20% that know what they are doing, for maintenance they use the 80%. In Apples case I believe the ratio is more like 1/99.
How to fix it? You need to keep your own records and files. It is rather easy for music (I learned it after Apple Music deleted 1100 songs from a folder called Music/Music/Media.localised), I haven't tried for photos yet.
Can Apple make this process any MORE complicated? 🤬
They heard your prayer. I can't select "Import to Photos" anymore. My wife has to open an app called "Airdrop" before she "syncs". But that "good ole' USB cable" is something the Einsteins in EU has to take responsibility for.
Downloading pictures off iPhone goes out of order on to window 10.
Why did they made it this simple process so hard? Samsung is so simple my grandma can do it
I don't know @AbdiPianoChannel, I'm no stranger to Samsung and I'm pretty sure that would personally be my last route, but I'm just an Apple guy! :-)

i dunno whats wrong with my pc' photos, this method simply doesnt work for me hahah
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch are all similar. iOS devices.
I have a love/hate relationship with this channel. Love the subject matter-lots I need to learn. But hate how the information is presented like you’re drinking from a firehose. He presents the material so fast and never seems to pause to take a breath. Just difficult for me to digest what he is trying to teach.
I appreciate you and your feedback @johnbielick2700!
Finding the right consistent tempo while explaining things can be challenging!
If you’re not familiar with the playback speed of CZcams, I highly recommend using it! You can speed up or slow down any video which is extremely helpful and I use it all the time!

why u gotta make this video so long tho
Wow this is brutal, why does anyone still use an apple? Yikes.
you did not show us what we needed to press to get the photos from the phone onto the computer with the wire what a fail. Horrible video and you just talk and talk instead of doing it. JUST because you are syncing your photos with iCloud does not mean everyone does.
Hmm...really @jevaze?
I'm pretty sure at the chapter below I discussed that very topic.

tons of money and can't even transfer data in one click, wonder why people buy this apple shit.
why in the world do I need to transfer any photos I want to view large to my computer or iCloud (pay for extra service) instead of just plugging it in and viewing it on my Mac?! Mac you piece of garbage, instead of being able to view the image you want to sell me services to view the image or make duplicates all over the place! worthless engineers.
