Thread: Downloading iPhone SE photos ?

Try turning the phone off and back on before connecting to the PC.

When connected it should boot itunes and then an autoplay window should appear. I usually click on "view files" using windows explorer and the phone will appear as a disk drive and you can navigate to get the pics and copy them over.

I find getting the auto play window a bit hit n miss but re booting the phone usually solves the problem.

Cheers

Are you using a decent cable or a cheapy?.... I have seen cables that will charge but not sync...

You can't just download photos from an iphone onto a pc. You have to either use itunes or there are some programs which you upload to both units and use this to transfer photos. It is a pita really but google how to do this and it will come up with what you need

That used to be the case - but is no longer true... I can copy phones straight off my iphone with windows explorer - no additional software.

I am a fan of dropbox.

I've installed it on my phone and ipad. More importantly I've installed it on my wife's phone and set it to automatically upload camera shots.

I've then installed it on our PCs, and set it to automatically download or sync. So, my wife comes home, turns on her PC and opens dropbox (it sits in the notification area and integrates with windows explorer or file explorer (Windows 10)). All the photo she has taken are sitting there waiting.

Its a great way to get the images of the phone, albeit at reduced resolution. The photos are still good, and I can download the original if she's after a bit more quality.
