About this article
This article describes two processes for sharing videos and photos from the Photos app on the tablet to a laptop computer. This article includes Mac and PC versions. This article is intended for all audiences.
Sharing Photos/ Videos
There are several different ways to share videos and photos from your Photos app on a tablet to your laptop computer. Enabling the iCloud and Photo Stream on all of your devices is one way to share that information through the cloud. This option does not require any physical connection between the devices. A second option is to manually connect your device to your laptop by using your tablet’s charging cord and importing items. Both processes are described below.
Photo Stream
Complete the following steps to share photos and videos through the Cloud.
Tablet
1.First you will need to make sure your iCloud account is set up. From your device open Settings > iCloud > Photos. From Photos tap the My Photo Stream button to turn it on. It should appear green.
2.You will now see an album title My Photo Stream in your photo albums in the Photos app. This album will automatically upload new photos and send them to all of your iCloud devices. You will not need to plug in your tablet to your laptop to share pictures or video. Any photos or videos in the Camera Roll photo album are photos that were taken on that particular device.
3.There are also a variety of other photo settings to choose from in the settings. Selecting iCloud will upload your entire library and store it in the iCloud. This is a great option if you would like to share photos or videos you have already captured and would like to share between devices. The My Photo Stream only share images that were captured after this option was turned on. Apple automatically provides 5 GB of storage in the iCloud. There is also the iCloud Photo Sharing option in Settings. This allows you to create albums and share photos and videos with specific people by sharing the album. It is recommended to turn on all three options.
Laptop (Mac)
1.Next you will want to turn on My Photo Steam on your Mac. Go to System Preferences > iCloud and check My Photo Stream.
