Q: Can't transfer photos from iPhone to PC?
Hi,
I'm trying to transfer some photos from my iphone 5 to my windows 7 PC; I haven't done this before.
I've tried two methods of doing this, but neither seem to be working!
method 1 - plug in iphone to pc. I get the autoplay come up. I click import photos. But I get a message saying something like 'no new photos found', so nothing happens. (remember, I haven't backed up my photos before, so all my photos should be 'new'!)
method 2 - I plug the iphone into the pc. And i go to computer > view devices and i open 'apple iphone'. then there's a DCIM folder (which should contain the photos, I'm guessing, because that's how i view photos from my normal camera). But the DCIM folder is empty.
Could someone please help me out? I have done my best to search how to do this, but noone else seems to have had this problem but me!
Thanks in advance.
iPhone 5, Windows 7

Thanks; just wanted to make sure. When you view your iPhone in Windows Explorer, you're navigating to this folder?
\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE
If so, one thing to try is to make sure your iPhone is unlocked. Then connect it to the computer and look in that folder again. If the iPhone is locked, it apparently won't show the contents of that folder.
Hope this helps.
