I tried iPhoto – did not really give me the options I wanted. Started to download pictures that I did not want to download – could not find the preferences to control it.

Image Capture is exactly what I needed! Download what I wanted to download, and put it where I wanted.

I have a iPhone 4. Trying this per your instructions, but the actual download is not appearing in my download folder (or anywhere it seems). The download screen appears, very quickly, but no download…Any ideas?

In reply to Robert McLain. It's a Mac app. You don't need to go to any of the app stores. It's installed by default on the Mac.

THANK YOU…THANK YOU….THANK YOU!!! There are so many apps out there that require you to spend $35(+) to be able to download videos. This way was free, fast and easy!!!

It’s amazing you posted this two years ago and its still the only way I can find to transfer the videos over. Not sure why Apple doesn’t have this on their website. Thanks for the help!

i am unable to transfer huge video files through image capture. Like you said 30-60 secs is fine.. but i have a 10 min video which i want to transfer and when i click on download it does nothing…
i have noticed that the images are getting transferred quiet quickly.

Dude… you are awesome! Thanks for making it simple and sharing what you found with the rest of us!

This made it so simple and I agree that iPhoto is a beast and I had to stop using it because it was taking up way too much space on my Macbook pro.

You are a RockStar!
