Q: No PC Photo Download


I set everything on both iPhone and PC (iCloud) set to download photos to my PC.  For several hours, the phone indicated it was downloading 90+ photos.  But nothing showed up.  After resetting everything, after an hour or so the last month's photos (~20) showed up on the PC.  Others did not though.

 

Could iCloud think the others downloaded sometime, somehow and now won't?  Still, for a while the phone knew there were more pictures to transfer.

 

Ideas?

    Hello Dan,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    It sounds like you want to use iCloud for Windows to sync your photos between your PC and your iPhone.  iCloud for Windows is great for keeping everything up to date between your phone and PC.

     

    Be sure you have followed everything in the following article:

    Set up and use iCloud for Windows

     

    If the problem continues, I would suggest signing out of iCloud on the PC, then signing back in.  This will sometimes trigger the process to continue.  Also, if you attempt to download again, and the process stops in the same place, look for the next picture that would be downloaded.  Remove this picture by moving it somewhere else.  Then start the process again.  Sometimes a corrupt photo file may halt the syncing process.

     

    Cheers!
