Pretty cool. I'll have to try that. The only downside I see is the extra step to relocate the desired photos.

Thanks to all for your help and suggestions. You've certainly collectively provided a lot of options and approaches to try.
Thank you again.

Here is a simple free app I use.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-photo-transfer/id380326191?mt=8

When on the same network ...
1. simply tap iOS app WiFiPhoto and view the URL
2. enter the URL from the iPhone app on your Mac browser
3. you will see Camera Roll - open Camera Roll and select photos
4. you can wirelessly load one (jpeg) or multiple photos (via zip file) to the Mac

I use a home page bookmark browser app called 43Marks.com so when I open Chrome it opens that homepage and I then launch the URL.

You seem to be a bit confused by the process. You don't export files from the iPhone to the Mac you import files from the iPhone to the mac. Think of it as a point of view problem. The process is controlled by the Mac not the iPhone. Just press the import button when Photos come up. Once Photos has them then you can export them to any place you want with the File/Export menu command.

I use an App called Photo Sync. I have it installed on my PC, Macbook pro, iPhone, iPod touch and 2 iPads. This is very easy to use.

It is a bit confusing, but what I am learning is it depends on which device (iPhone or Mac) is controlling the process as to whether you are importing or exporting. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I'll check it out. There are no end of options!

I hooked my iPhone 5c to the MacBookPro running OSX Lion (10.7+) via USB. No phone icon on desktop, only iPhoto (former version Photo) could see any iPhone pictures. Could transfer, but iPhoto saves the image files in a system reserved folder. So I was not able to check the individual files in Info or import them into Photoshop. I have been a Mac user since the SE in 1985 and am dismayed with the route Mac OSs have taken.

Connect your phone via usb cable. Run "Image Capture" on the MAC. You can transfer the images to the MAC.

There is an almost hidden button in the lower left corner of Image Capture that allows you to set the application that opens when you connect your iPhone to the Mac. If you're like me, and just want files to go into folders somewhere, choose Image Capture as that app. I sometimes set it to Lightroom, but not Photos.

See my last post... It's your solution. Image Capture is free with your Mac and it is part of every system since before your OS was released. It's in the Applications folder.

I suppose I have become accostumed to seeing an USB connected device to appear as an icon on the desktop which acts like a folder - click on it and see what is inside. It is things like that had made to Mac intuitive - see icon, click icon. As Image Capture is an application it can be parked in the dock and icons should be draggable to it for opening whatever can be capturable. But one has to have an icon first. I'll try out the technique next opportunity.

I keep it in the dock. You can register specific devices so that when you connect them, they automatically start Image Capture.
