Step 1: Connect Your External Hard Drive To Your Mac<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, connect the hard drive to your Mac and make sure it shows up in the Finder\u2019s sidebar. Copy something to the hard drive from the desktop just to make sure it works. If it doesn\u2019t then it might not be formatted to use with a Mac (most external hard drives aren\u2019t). If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll need to first reformat the hard drive to FAT format.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Connect Your iOS Device To Your Mac<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first thing you need to do is connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac using the USB to Lightning connector you got with your device.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Launch Image Capture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Image Capture on Mac is one of the most underrated utilities. To launch it, search for \u201cImage Capture\u201d using Spotlight search (using Cmd + Space shortcut).<\/p>\n

After you launch it, find your iOS device in the left sidebar and click on it.<\/p>\n

\"iphone<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/center>You\u2019ll now see a list of all the photos on your iPhone or iPad right there.<\/p>\n

You can either use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + A to select all or just individually check mark all the images you want to import.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Select Destination<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By default, photos will be imported in the Pictures folder. Click the drop-down, and select \u201cOther\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now select the folder in the external hard drive as a source.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Click Import<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"iphone<\/figure>\n

Click the \u201cImport\u201d button and wait until the transfer is done. If the external hard drive is USB 2.0 spec, and you have a lot of photos, this could take more than just a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
