How do I sync photos FROM iphone TO pc using wifi?

I have a 4S I bought in Mar 2012 - just updated to IOS6


PC is a 2011 Dell Inspirion 620 running Windows 7


Browsers are IE & Chrome


I am a computer person so I'm not new to the techno world 😉 but this is my first iphone so I'm new to Apple 😎 There are plenty of places to get info about syncing photos using icloud or syncing from PC to iPhone but I'm getting conflicting 😕 info on syincing FROM iphone TO pc using WIFI. One video I watched told me I needed to download PhotoSync so I did. Then I read that I needed the companion app for Photosync 😢 -- Apple.com talks about something called iphoto 😕 😠 😢


I am totally confused can someone please explain to me how to transfer photos FROM my iphone TO my pc using WiFi?


Do I need to download something like photosync? or another type of app.?



Thank you

Christine

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Ok, so just for your record iPhoto is a Mac OS only app. Next, to copy photos from your iPhone to your computer you can either use photo stream via icloud and the icloud control panel for windows see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html OR plug your phone in and open up your "my computer" and navigate to your iPhone it should provide you with a way to view the photos just like any digital camera.

So, just to clarify, you're a "computer person" and cannot follow links? Well ok, here goes



Download theiCloud Control Panel.

To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).Download now(you have to follow that link I cannot post the file here).

Turn on iCloud.

From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.

Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.

For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.

On your iPhone go to settings-iCloud and ensure you're signed in and that "photo stream" is enabled.


Any more questions?

Well the link is the only way to do it that I know of. It dowloads iCloud to your computer so you can get your pictures from photo stream.

Or do what uselessSabotage said:
