This app can’t transfer files from phones you don’t have login access to. NOTE: During launch, the application will ask you to unlock to your iPhone. The Image Capture Help files go into these options in more detail. NOTE: You can use Image Capture to transfer files from an iPad or a camera. And what I discovered is that this app makes transferring media even easier than Preview.

Hmm… I don’t think I’ve ever launched Image Capture, so this week, I decided to take a closer look. ( See it here.) Afterward, a reader wrote to say they used Image Capture (another Apple-supplied application) for the same purpose and found it easier to use. Last week, I posted a video demo on how to use Preview to transfer media files from an iPhone to a Mac.
