Sharing Photos between Iphone and Mac

[timkins]

I am frying to down load photos from my IPHONE 7+ to my Mac running Monterey 12.5.1. When I plug the cable into Mac and then into my IPHONE I kjeep getting a flashing message about Trust this device or not Trust the device and it will not stay on a particular message long enough to access the phone to complete the transfer. What am I doing wrong.

Nothing is wrong. Just tap the Trust This Device to allow them to connect. From there, you can use either Photos or Image Capture to import the images from the iPhone to the Mac.

If the message about "Trust" is flashing, that is a symptom of a dodgy cable or connection. Check the connectors are tight and if they are, replace the cable with another.

Easiest way is to enable Photo Stream which automatically syncs photos between Apple machines via wifi.

And no, it's not the same thing as iCloud Photos

Hi Timkins - just yet another option - I take most of my photos on my iPhone XR - then select those I want to put on my MBAir laptop and use AirDrop (click for Apple Support Article) - one or several dozen photos are then transferred w/o need for a cable or putting an SD card from a camera into the computer's slot. I'm assuming this feature is compatible with your hardware/software but check link. Good luck - Dave
