This article is extremely helpful, thank you. Is there a way to get this in written form? I would like to have it available for future reference. Thanks again.

Hi Ralph Cosh. Immediately under the video is “video transcript”. Copy it and paste it into notes or pages or wherever you want it and you have the whole video in written copy.

I did not know about this and it will be a huge time saver!
Scott: Do you see it in the Finder though? What if you connect your iPhone to your Mac via a cable? Obviously it does work in Preview as you can see me do it right in this video.

This is an incredible tool! I would never have found it without your most valuable column. Thanks!
This is great and everything worked except import from iPhone using the Preview app. All items in the submenu were greyed out. Anyone know why?
Thanks
SUCH a great tip! Thanks, Gary.

Thanks, Gary; very helpful.
I'm having the same issue with Preview - all options (iPhone / iPad) in the submenu are greyed out.
Just got off of a chat with Apple - they advised that this feature does not work directly from Preview (even though the menu shows it).
