How Can I Backup All My Photos from iPhone To Mac? I would like to backup my pictures from my iPhone camera roll to my MacBook Pro. However when I plug my iPhone 8 Plus in it only shows 'recent photos' from the past few weeks that I can backup these photos to my Mac, and I don't know how to make them show up or any other alternative ways of backing up them. I have separate iCloud accounts on my Mac and iPhone and I'd like to keep it that way. Please help!
