Q: Not all pictures from camera roll show up on my computer

I have always transferred photos from my iPhone 4S to my computer by connecting with USB cable to my computer and opening file folders, and simply copying (drag/drop) to folders on my computer.  But today when I attempted this, only 42 of my 1,047 pictures from my camera roll show up when viewing my phone's contents in the file manager on my computer.  I don't know why the other 1,000 aren't showing up -- they all are viewable on my phone.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.2

    Hello there, jmiles.

     

    It sounds like you're unable to import certain photos from your camera roll on your iPhone 4s to your PC computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers up a few techniques for getting that content to your computer:

     

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer

     

    Import photos and videos to your Windows PC

    Before you import your photos and videos:

    When you import photos and videos from your device to your computer, some might be rotated incorrectly. To play videos on your computer at the correct orientation, use iTunes for Windows.

    If you can't import your photos to your computer, or your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a camera, learn what to do. Windows XP might not be able to import videos larger than 500MB without iTunes installed, a third-party program, or updated drivers.

    Use the iCloud Photo Library with the Photos app to keep your photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, and iCloud.com. Learn more about using a camera with your Mac.
