then ports them over.
After the sync is complete, you’ll be able to wave your iPhone around, and

Syncing Photos (iPhoneÆComputer)
The previous discussion describes copying photos only in one direction:
computerÆiPhone. But here’s one of those rare instances when you can actually
create data on the iPhone so that you can later transfer it to the computer:
photos you take with the iPhone’s own camera. You can rest easy, knowing
that they can be copied back to your computer for safekeeping, with only
one click.
Now, it’s important to understand that iTunes is not involved in this process. It
doesn’t know anything about photos coming from the iPhone; its job is just
to copy pictures to the iPhone.
So what’s handling the iPhoneÆcomputer transfer? Your operating system. It
sees the iPhone as though it’s a digital camera, and suggests importing them
just as it would from a camera’s memory card.
Here’s how it goes: Plug the iPhone into the computer with the USB cable.
What you’ll see is probably something like this:
• On the Macintosh. iPhoto opens. This free photo-organizing/editing
software comes on every Mac. Shortly after it notices that the iPhone is
on the premises, it goes into Import mode.
After the transfer (or before it, on older iPhone versions), click Delete
photos if you’d like the iPhone’s cameraphone memory cleared out after
the transfer.
Either way, click Import on the Mac screen to begin the transfer.
