Thank you! The best video presentation I have seen on something to do with iphone photo back-up on a mac. Very clear & concise. Will be looking for more of your videos if I have questions concerning my apple products.

Thank you, but I had to freeze frame every three seconds. You are fast! Second when I had a digital camera, I would just stick the "chip" from the camera into the Mac and it downloaded automatically with dates. I succeeded with your instructions but I don't know if I could do it again. Why does Mac make everything so complicated? I transferred all my info from my old Mac to my new Mac and even the Mac supervisors didn't know how to access the old info.

Hey - as always one has to trust Apple Insider for all our news, leaks and reviews etc. Would really appreciate an update to the same video above of backing up iPhone Photos to Mac OS Catalina as there's no 'Masters' folder any more. Also if we can create a Photo Library directly on an external SSD and transfer from iPhone to the external library without having to go thru importing to system library & moving it to a new library there on deleting the imported photos, etc. Wonder if there's a shorter process with so many software updates since the release of your video. Once again Thank You @Appleinsider for everything on Apple with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & KZbin :)

couple of issues to address: 1. are Live Photos saved, also are photos saved to the individual folders that have been defined on the phone? 2. if you have photos saved in notes, are those foto's going to disappear from notes if we've not backed those notes up and have selected the option to "delete photos from phone after transfer?" too late!

Jessica E yes, I use the Seagate brand, called “seagate backup plus slim for mac” (& the “FOR MAC” is the important part) & I get 2T, which will hold 2000 GB. Otherwise you can get 1T, which will hold 1000 GB. I hope that helps! Or maybe you figured it out by now lol. Have a good day!

Don't know if you resolved this yet, if so, future people can read this. If you have used a hard drive on windows before mac you may have to reformat the hard drive, as it will only be readable on windows meaning you cant paste anything onto it from mac. Just google "reformat hard drive windows mac exFAT"

As I understand it, Camera Roll only has the photos you took with the cameras on that Apple device or images captured from the screen or which were put into the Camera Roll using another method. The photos in the Photo app should be in a Library file for that Photos app. In other words, the photos are stored in 2 separate places on the device, and the contents of each separate folder would have to be located and transferred separately.

Connect your iPhone to your Windows PC using the Lightning charging cable. Your phone will show up in the "This PC" menu. Just search for it in the Windows menu. Then open up it up and you'll have access to all of your photos and videos. Simply drag and drop them to wherever you want.

This guy does not know how to do it. He makes it WAY too complicated. As one of the previous posters said, use Image Capture. Fast, easy, reliable. There are also cheap third-party apps that will do the same thing. Explanations like this are what make Android users roll their eyes. Today, I'm rolling mine.

YES YOU CAN MOVE THE LIBRARY TO AN EXTERNAL DRIVE BUT AS OF 2018/MOJAVE YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SYSNC WITH A IPHONE TO VIEW PICS AND VIDEOS ON YOUR PHONE. IF YOU CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO ITUNES THE PICS ON YOUR PHONE WILL BE DOWNLOADED TO YOUR PHOTOS LIBRARY BUT NOT BE SENT BACK TO YOUR PHONE FOR VIEWING. APPLE WILL DIRECT YOU TO PURCHASE ICLOUD SPACE AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO VIEW PICS ON YOUR IPHONE BY SYNCING THROUGH ICLOUD ONLY. ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED MOJAVE AND OPEN PHOTOS FOR THE FIRST TIME, MOJAVE WILL CONVERT YOUR FILES. ONCE THIS IS DONE, ONLY THE NEW VERSION OF PHOTOS WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN THE FILES. THIS OPERATION IS NOT REVERSIBLE. BASICALLY YOU CAN NO LONGER SYNC FROM AN EXTERNAL STORAGE DRIVE/NAS. YOU CAN PHONE APPLE TO CONFIRM THIS........UNBELIEVABLE THAT SUCH A BASIC OPERATION NO LONGER WORKS.
