How copy photos from Iphone to computer

Here is a good one!

I lost my PC system disk, however, I had previously sync'd all my pictures to my Iphone and my son's Ipod Touch. Now obviously I lost all the pictures on my computer system disk.

however, they are backed up on my Iphone and also my son's ipod touch. Now the question is this. Is there a way that I can extract the photos from the iphone or ipod touch and copy them back to my computer. I'm not talking about copying only the pictures that were taken with my Iphone, but the pictures that were sync'd from my computer to the iphone.

It would be a shame that I have all those pictures on there and I can't get to them. In the mean time I have rebuilt my PC system disk and installed itunes, but selected not to sync my photos, so that I don't lose the photos from the iphone.

Anybody have any ideas? Is there a back door process on how to get these pictures?

Unfortunately the photos on the iPhone and iPod Touch are not the full resolution versions you had on the computer. They are converted in iTunes to save space on the portable devices.

I don't know how you can get the photos off the iPhone, but if you do they will lower resolution that the originals.

In order to get your pics off your iPhone, double click "my computer" and it should have recongized the phone as a camera. Double click to open it and "Bingo", there's your pics.

FYI - what you provided is for photos that were captured by the iPhone, not for photos transferred from a computer to an iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which I believe the OP is referring to.

To get those pictures off the iPhone you're going to have to use a 3rd party application such as eCamm's Megaphone:

When you originally put them on the iPhone the photos were "optimized" (reduced in file size) to save space on the iPhone, so they'll be lower resolution than the original files, but at least you'll have them.
