One of the easiest ways to get photos from an iPhone to a Mac device is using iCloud Photos if both of them are using the same Apple ID. However, this method requires a reliable high-speed internet connection.
If your missing device can’t connect to the internet, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network — hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices around the world. Nearby devices securely send the location of your missing device to iCloud, then you can see where it is in the Find My app. See all your devices on a map. Is your iPad at home or back at the office?

If you are facing troubles with the internet connectivity or just looking for an offline-only method for syncing photos from an iPhone to Mac, here is a step-by-step guide on doing the same with the Finder app.
Sync photos from iPhone to Mac using Finder
Step 1: First of all, connect your iPhone to the Mac device using the USB cable.
Step 2: Now, click on the Finder icon from the Dock at the bottom of the screen on your Mac. This will open a new Finder window.
Step 3: From the left sidebar, click on the name of your iPhone.
Step 4: In the screen that opens, click on the “Photos” from the horizontal tabs at the top of the screen, just below your iPhone’s information.
Step 5: Now, select all the photos that you want to sync to your Mac, and once selected, click on the “Sync” button which will then start the process.
This is one of the many ways to get photos from your iPhone to your Mac device. There are a few other ways to do the same, which we will be covering in a step-by-step guide in the coming days.
The Find My app makes it easy to locate your Apple devices and keep up with friends and family. It works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — even if your missing devices are offline. And your privacy is protected every step of the way.
Find your Apple devices.
You take your devices everywhere. Which means you might leave them anywhere. Whether they’re under a sofa pillow or in a conference room, chances are they won’t be lost for long. You can get help finding your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Mac, or AirPods right in the Find My app.

Display a message on your lost device.
If your device goes missing, put it in Lost Mode to lock it immediately and start tracking its location. You can also display a message with a contact number on your device’s Lock Screen, so whoever finds it can call you without accessing the rest of its information.
Erase it with ease.
Worried that your device has fallen into the wrong hands? You may want to erase it remotely to delete your personal data and restore your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac to its factory settings. If you retrieve it, you can restore it from your iCloud backup.

Lock it down. Automatically.
Activation Lock is designed to prevent anyone else from using or selling your device.* When you enable Find My on your device, Activation Lock is turned on automatically. Your Apple ID and password will then be required before anyone can erase your device or reactivate it.
You can even find devices that are offline.
If your missing device can’t connect to the internet, the Find My app can still help you track it down using the Find My network — hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices around the world. Nearby devices securely send the location of your missing device to iCloud, then you can see where it is in the Find My app. It’s all anonymous and encrypted to protect everyone’s privacy.
Find your friends.
Invite friends and family members to share their locations. So you can keep in touch with one another, coordinate around an event, or know when a family member has arrived home safely.

Just like every Apple product, Find My is designed to put you in control of your data. Apple receives location information only when you actively locate your device, mark it as lost, or enable Send Last Location. Location data is encrypted on Apple’s servers and kept for no more than 24 hours. And when the Find My network is used, everyone’s information is kept private — even from Apple.
