I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I'm new to IOS, having been an android user all this while. What is the best way to load wallpapers to the phone? Do I email them to myself? I'm not a cloud user.

I don't use iphoto on the mac, but that seems to be the only way to send photos from my computer to the iphone. Am I wrong?

Hello,

I don't know what's the best option for your answer, but below are the ways I send wallpapers/photos from my computer to my iPhone:

1. I send them over Bluetooth after successful pairing, or
2. I tweet the wallpapers to myself, so I receive the tweet on my iPhone, save it to the camera roll and then delete the tweet. It just takes a couple of seconds.

All the best,

^MPY.

The way I do it is this.

1: Create a folder in a convenient place on your computer, for example, I have a folder in my Pictures folder on my Mac called iPhone Wallpapers, and it's in this folder that I place all the wallpapers I'm wanting to have added onto my iPhone.

I'll provide some screenshots below to show the rest of the process that I will describe.

2: Load up iTunes on your computer, and then connect your iPhone up, it will then appear down the left handside in the DEVICES section.

After this, follow what I have shown in the screenshots :)

Now any photos/pictures you place in the chosen folder will then be added onto your iPhone when you sync your iPhone in iTunes, also any photos/pictures you delete from your chosen folder will then be removed from your iPhone when you next sync it with iTunes.

To then choose your wallpaper that you would have just added, you would simply go through the process that you would do when you were choosing a wallpaper on your iPhone normally (i.e. Settings/Wallpapers & Brightness). Your new folder that you would have created on your computer, will be listed/shown in Wallpaper section on your iPhone.

I always did like some of the Palm webOS wallpapers. Here's some parallax versions of two.
