How to view Iphone Photo Cache

Hello


I have been trying to view my photo cache for a while now but no luck, I read about how you sync with itunes and follow it to the folder, but my itunes is only allowing it to sync one way, from the computer to phone, no option to go phone to computer, only suggesting to use windows picture view? Does anybody know how I can fix this and view the cache?

iPhone 5c

Greetings EdgiePower,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems you're trying to transfer photos from your iPhone to your PC.


iTunes is a one-way only syncing program. If you're using iCloud Photos, you'll need to download the photos to your iPhone first prior to transferring to your computer. Check out the information in the following article:


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


"Import to your PC

You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using the Windows Photos app:

  1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your PC. Importing photos to your PC requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later.
  2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC with a USB cable.
  3. If asked, unlock your iOS device using your passcode.
  4. If you see a prompt on your iOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust or Allow to continue.

Then, visit Microsoft's website to learn how to import photos to the Windows Photos app in Windows 10.

If you have iCloud Photos turned on, you need to download the original, full resolution versions of your photos to your iPhone before you import to your PC. Find out how.

When you import videos from your iOS device to your PC, some might be rotated incorrectly in the Windows Photos app. You can add these videos to iTunes to play them in the correct orientation.

If you're trying to access photos that you've deleted from your iPhone that are no longer in the Recently Deleted folder, then you'll need to restore from a backup created when the photos were still on your device to obtain the photos. Keep in mind, photos are not stored in a backup if iCloud Photos is enabled:



Kind regards.
