I HATE IT when they keep "improving" things. My old 4s I could plug into my computer and act like a drive and move around and delete with no problem.  The blasted 5c "improved" things.  Plugging in and acting like a drive never has worked.  I can Air Drop the photos to this MacBook, which is OK but not the computer I wanted them on.  And then it appears I have to delete each individual photo.  And when I do I get some message about deleting it from my "iCloud Photo Library on all your devices"  Does that mean I am deleting it from the laptop I just sent it to?

I think the problem is I still think Windows 3.11 in a fruity computer world
