Q: Photos transfered to iphone dont show in PC
Iphone 4s:
IOS 9.2
PC OS win 7
Icloud: No
Other cloud based service to store photos or images: No
Are photos stored physically on the Iphone: Yes
I copied photos from android to a folder on my PC. I opened Itunes and synced the folder on the PC so all photos and videos where transfered to the Iphone.
I can see the photo album on the iphone, i can check my photos and watch the videos.
BUT, when I connect the iphone to the PC and browse the folder "Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE" no photos are there. ONLY the photos i took with the iphone shows up. Not my other 2800 photos.
Whats wrong and how do I fix it?
iPhone 4S, iOS 9.2.1

That is how it is designed to work. An iTunes sync of photos from a computer to an iPhone is a one-way transfer and the photos are not stored in a location accessible from Windows Explorer on the computer. The original photos must be retained on the PC -- if they are not, any future sync of photos will delete the copy that is on the iPhone. If you have deleted the photos from the computer and want to retrieve them from the iPhone you will need to use 3rd party software such as https://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/
