How do I get photos off my iphone?

Hi

I have about 200 photos on my iPhone that I want to transfer to my pc (Vista).

I have read lots of other questions on here but havent found the answer!

When I plug in my iPhone and look in 'Computer' I can not see the phone (as I can with my digital camera)

Also, when I go to control panel/scanners and cameras, it is not there.
When I click 'add device' it takes me to a wizard that says it si 'unable to find any device' and asks for a disc (I dont have one)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hayley

Roaminghome - I tried all 4 different USB's and it doesn’t make a difference.

I am not sure what a powered USB is! I am using the white USB cable that came with the iPhone (v3).

iTunes does show my iPhone when I connect it. But there is no option on the 'photos' tab to import from my phone.

I hope that this makes sense!

It's easy to get your pictures taken with the built-in camera onto Windows.

1) Go to iTunes->Preferences->Devices and check "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" (Otherwise iTunes intercepts the iPhone as it mounts as does not present it to the OS)
2) Download Picasa from Google (its free!)
3) Plug in your iPhone via USB cable
4) Start Picasa, click the "Import" button in the top left
5) Select your pictures (or "Import All"), click Import, and it will ask you to create a folder for them.

Voila!
