RobBright 35 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 1) Unplug all the cable 2) Put everything in the box 3) Send it back to the makers 4) Go back and buy a pc. Or really, download iTunes, connect your iphone to the mac, and it should come up in finder (mac equivalent of the folders) I think. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes its entirely too difficult for something so perfect Klingon Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Let's face it though, most stuff is easy once you know how and get used to it. Things just need a little bit of time invested in learning how to use them. People give things about 5 seconds now and then give up or get frustrated. It really isn't good, I think. Not pointing at you pete, just a general comments. Surely there are some simple online guides for this kind of stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think all you have to do is connect your iphone and then open iphoto. it'll automatically make the photos available for upload. Another option is to set up the iCloud which automatically loads all your photos from your phone directly to your computer as soon as you take them. If you want to go that route you should go to the apple homepage and find the tutorials for setting it up. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hey Pete, I'm a Mac guy. Just connect your iphone. Itunes should open automatically and you will have to sync up your phone to that computer and that one only. After that as BM says iphoto will be available and iMovie for you HD videos. Get on line...... learn the OS. You'll like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 One of the things I don't like about my iPhone is having to go through iTunes for everything. It takes a while to get used to the syncing process. What I do is create a special album in iPhoto and call it iPhone. Then I put all the photos that I want on my phone in there. That way I only have to sync one thing. I do the same in iTunes. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used it though. Link to post Share on other sites
