Transfer photos from iPhone camera roll *without Photo Stream* or sending...

...them as individual messages?

 

I'd like to simply sync my iPhone's camera roll to my Mac, import the images in the camera roll to iPhoto, just like I'd sync any other camera I plug into my Mac.

 

This used to work. I don't know when it stopped working since I haven't worried about this for a while, and I've simply being doing one-off transfers of individual shots to Facebook or e-mail for some time.

 

As a clunky work-around, I notice I can still see my camera roll as a folder with image files inside via Windows if I connect my iPhone to my Parallels virtual PC. But for handling these transfers more elegantly with just my Mac...

 

Am I missing something? Or is Apple trying to cajole/force me into sending all my picture through f*cking iCloud? Are they intentionally taking away the non-cloud options for getting images off my iPhone?

1. On Windows you can browse the photo's on your iPhone. Don't try to delete any; it'll crash Explorer.exe

2. On my Mac, I use /Applications/Image Capture.app for that.

That's odd. I had tried Image Capture before I posted, after seeing it recommended elsewhere. My iPhone didn't show up in the device list.

 

I just tried it again, and there's my iPhone. I don't know what changed!

 

Thank you for your help.
