Q: My computer is Windows 7 Professional. i plugged in my iphone 4 yesterday, and all of my 2000 pics from my computer are on my phoen.. there is no way that i can delete these? They are not in my camera roll... no delete..

I dont know if its related: but also, whenever I have plugged my iphone into my computer: all i see of of itunes is music related stuff.. when i try to go into the picture area, there is only a way to sync my pics from computer into my phone: which is NOT what I ever want to do, but rather see my phones pics, i have NEVER seen my phones pictures on my computer. Everyone acts like this is so easy, almost automatoc when u plug in your phone.. WTH am I doing wrong. I hate itunes, hate iphone, hate the new world,, it seems so difficult!! i hate sync too!!!

iPhone 4, Windows 7

    It is not difficult.

     

    You open itunes.  Connect iphone.  Go to the photos tab.  Select whatever you want to be on your iphone.  Then sync.  That's it.  ONLY what you select will be on your iphone.

     

    Pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regulary, just as you would with any other digital camera.

    Gnome:: i just tried it again, and this is what it says at the top of my itumnes:

    Summary      Info    Apps   Photos

     

    I click on photos, and the only option is for me to sync photos FROM my computer into my phone,, not the other way around....

    To get the pics off your iphone, you use the camera wizard in windows. iTunes will only put info onto your computer. Here's a link on how to set up auto import of your pics to a folder on your computer.

    Is that what you were looking to do?

    OK, so this morning, i had a tech guy that i work with come over.. I was right,, when I plug in my phoen, IT DOES NOT come up like everyone elses,, he said one other employee has the same issue,, my computer and my phone are never friends.. they do not get along, and some of the stuff that others can do SO EASILY, i just cant do. My computer apparently does not recognize my phone. When I go into, "my computer", my iphone isn't even showing up there.. i do not know how to remedy this.. i do not have computer at home,, so this is ludicris..
