Photo Library to Mac

Hey Everyone,
I'm new.
My wifes Macbook pro needed to replace her hard drive and she lost everything, she had pics on her iPhone and she wants to transfer it back on the new hard drive, but iPhoto only transfers pics that are in camera roll, not photo library.
she has about 3,500 pics , so emailing is not an option.
Any ideas?

I believe iRip 2.1 will transfer everything from her iPhone to the new hard drive. It's not free but you can download a working trial copy first. LINK

Another program that will do this is PhoneToMac ($25). I've used it very successfully.
