importing photos from iPhone to Macbook Pro

[vizanje]

Hey guys, just a little annoying glitch. I have a iPhone 3G with the latest update. When I plug it into my mbp (10.5.8), and it wants to import photos, everytime it re-imports duplicates, event though I check off the box stating do not import duplicates. Is there a glitch, is there something I can do. It is really hard to manage pictures I take on the iPhone if I can't back them up. The other small beef, the pictures appear to be arranged randomly, not chronologically, or by file name? Any help appreciated...thanks

Try creating an event called "iPhone" and point the photos on your phone to that event. Then you'll not have the dup problem as long as you keep a copy of all the pics you have on your phone in that event. No bare with me I am working from memory but I believe that's how I did it. Check back and let us know how it worked out.

Hope this helps

Thanks...Yeah. I think I'll have to do something like that. I wish I could just plug it in, have any new photos that I have taken uploadedl, and move on. I might just use my windows machine to manage the pics (agggghh). I'll play around and post back my results..I can't imagine I am the only one trying to manage all the pics I take on the iphone.
