Hi beepoeheepoe,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you have an issue importing photos to your PC, and I'd like to do what I can to help.


Take a look at the instructions in this article. It shows that you don't need to use iTunes for importing your photos:

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you're having an issue with your iPhone not being seen by iTunes for other functions, this article can help. There are different steps, depending on where iTunes was downloaded from: If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Take care!

Hey beepoeheepoe,


Thanks for the reply and trying those steps. We appreciate it!


If you haven't already, restart both your iPhone and computer. A restart can help to resolve unusual issues. Restart your iPhone


If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd suggest contacting Microsoft, as they may have some additional steps for their app.


There is another way to get photos to your computer from your iPhone, which is using iCloud. Here is the info, just in case you want to try this also. Set up and use iCloud Photos on your Windows PC


Once in iCloud, you can download photos from iCloud to your computer also, which is also shown within that article.


Enjoy your day!
