Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC. You can also make your photos available on all your devices with iCloud Photos.

Use iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos keeps your photos and videos safe, up to date, and available automatically on all of your Apple devices, on iCloud.com, and even your PC. When you use iCloud Photos, you don’t need to import photos from one iCloud device to another. iCloud Photos always uploads and stores your original, full-resolution photos. You can keep full-resolution originals on each of your devices, or save space with device-optimized versions instead. Either way, you can download your originals whenever you need them. Any organizational changes or edits you make are always kept up to date across all your Apple devices. Learn how to set up and use iCloud Photos.

The photos and videos that you keep in iCloud Photos use your iCloud storage. Before you turn on iCloud Photos, make sure that you have enough space in iCloud to store your entire collection. You can see how much space you need and then upgrade your storage plan if necessary.

Import to your Mac

You can use the Photos app to import photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac.

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn’t automatically appear, click the device’s name in the Photos sidebar.
4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to «Import to,» you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
   
7. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac.

Import to your Windows PC

You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using the Windows Photos app:

1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your PC. Importing photos to your PC requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later.
2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC with a USB cable.
3. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode.
4. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust or Allow to continue.

If you have iCloud Photos turned on, you need to download the original, full resolution versions of your photos to your iPhone before you import to your PC. Find out how.

When you import videos from your iOS or iPadOS device to your PC, some might be rotated incorrectly in the Windows Photos app. You can add these videos to iTunes to play them in the correct orientation.

If you’re having trouble importing photos from your iOS or iPadOS device to Windows 10, try these steps:

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, open the Settings app. Tap Camera, then tap Formats.
2. Tap Most Compatible. From now on, your camera will create photos and videos in JPEG and H.264 formats.

Back up and restore your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or to iCloud

One of the best ways of safeguarding the information on an iPhone or iPad against damage or loss is backing up or copying your files and settings to either your Mac or to iCloud. Backing up is also useful if you get a new device and want to transfer your previous settings to it.

After you back up your device, you can use the backup to restore the information on your device whenever needed. If your device has issues that can’t be fixed by restoring from a backup, you can also restore your device to its factory settings and then restore a recent backup to see if that fixes the problem.

Back up your device

Connect your device to your Mac.

You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. See Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.

In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

If you connect your device to your Mac using a USB cable and can’t see the device in the Finder sidebar, see If your device doesn’t appear in the sidebar.

Click General in the button bar.

To select backup options, do any of the following:

Select the “Back up your most important data on your [device] to iCloud” button to store backup data on iCloud and not on your Mac.

Select the “Back up all the data on your [device] to this Mac” to store backups on your Mac.

Select the “Encrypt local backup” tickbox to encrypt your backup data and protect it with a password. To change your password later, click Change Password.

Click Back Up Now.

Restore your device from a backup

If your device has an issue, you can use a recent backup to restore the information on the device.

Connect your device to your Mac.

You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. See Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.

In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

Click General in the button bar.

Click Restore Backup.

Click the Backup pop-up menu, choose the backup you want to restore to the device, then click Restore.

If your backup is encrypted, you must enter the password before restoring your files and settings.

Restore your device to its factory settings

You can reinstall the software originally on your device and restore it to its factory settings. You might need to do this if you’re having problems with the device (for example, if it freezes or crashes frequently) of if you’re getting ready to sell or give it away.

Important: Restoring a device to its factory settings deletes all your information and settings. However, before doing so, your Mac backs up your device. You can use this backup to restore your information and settings on the device.

Note: You must turn off the Find My app in iCloud Settings on your device before you can restore your device.

Connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable.

You can’t restore your device using a Wi-Fi connection.

In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

Click General in the button bar.

Click “Restore [device]”, then follow the onscreen instructions.
