1. How to Import Photos from
iPhone to Mac

2. When I plug my iPhone 6 into my iMac, duplicates of each photo on my
Camera Roll appear in iPhoto. I have Photo turned off in iCloud. Any
ideas?
By KiWiniD from Apple Support Community
In this thread, many iPhone 6 or Plus users come up with the
problem of duplicate photos when they use iPhoto to
import iPhone Camera Roll to Mac computer. The
duplicates of every photo appear in iPhoto. Still, this iPhone
user hasn’t got a solution from Apple yet.
Other iPhone users have given some suggestions to help
the users. One of the suggestions is that the users should
uncheck “Automatic Upload” in “iPhoto > Preferences >
iCloud”, and it helped several users get rid of the
duplicates. People who have duplicates in iPhoto can
check out this method.

3. If users have Image Capture on their Mac computer, they
can also give this program a try. The Image Capture app is
also helpful for users to importing photos from iPhone to
Mac computer. Image Capture is a built-in app in Mac
computer, and users only need to connect their iPhone to
computer and then select the device in the app, and then
select the photos to import from iPhone to Mac. Image
Capture will be useful if you come up with duplicates when
using iPhoto.
Of course, you are able to find third-party iPhone transfer
programs to help you import photos from iPhone to Mac
computer. I would like to introduce Leawo iTransfer for Mac
to you. This software is used for transferring files among iOS
devices, iTunes and computers without the sync of iTunes,
and it helps to import photos from iPhone to Mac with
simple clicks. The following guidance will show you how to
import photos from iPhone to Mac computer, and you are
allowed to free download the software to have a try.

4. STEP 1 Run Leawo iTransfer
Run Leawo iTransfer for Mac and connect iPhone to computer
with the USB cable. The software will automatically detect the
libraries and display the libraries in the left sidebar.

5. STEP 2 Select Photos
Choose “Camera Roll” in the sidebar then the contents will show
up in the right part. Click the transfer button at the right bottom
to transfer all the photos. Or hold “Ctrl” key and click to select
certain photos, then right-click the chosen photos to “Transfer to
> My Computer”.

6. STEP 3 Transfer Settings
After selecting files, you will see the pop-up dialog of transfer
settings. Check “Save to Folder” and click “Change” to choose a
folder on your computer to save the photos. Then click “Transfer
Now” at the right bottom to start transferring photos from iPhone
to Mac.

7. STEP 4Transferring Photos
Leawo iTransfer will start the photo transfer immediately. The
progress bar in the pop-up dialog will show the percentage of
the transfer process. When the transfer is finished, you will get the
photos in target folder.

8. With Leawo iTransfer for Mac, you don’t have to use iPhoto, and
you won’t get duplicate photos after the transfer. Of course, this
software enables users to transfer files between iOS devices
directly, for example, you can transfer files from iPhone to iPad
with this software.
Of course, you may have used iPhoto, and get tons of duplicates
in your Mac computer. At this moment, you will want to delete
the duplicates. You can use Leawo iTransfer to transfer the
photos to your computer and then delete all the photos in your
iPhoto, which won’t need you to choose the duplicate photos to
delete one by one. If you don’t want to delete all the photos in
iPhoto, you can choose the photos named with “_2″ or “_3″ to
delete, because the duplicate photos are named after the
original photos with numbers attached.
