Transfer photos from iPhone 5 to PC without iCloud?

Hello,

Please can somebody advise?

Having had iPhones for ages (3GS and 4) I have never had a problem transferring photos from my iPhone to my Windows Vista laptop. I have always plugged it in, then used the 'autoplay' option.

No problem.

But with my new iPhone 5 this option does not come up, nor is the phone visible in my 'Computer' section - the only thing that is is Photo Stream.

This is an empty folder.

I don't want to use iCloud - although it seems to be set up on my iPhone. If I ask it to delete the account it says it will delete everything stored in iCloud off my phone, so I am scared to do that!

Can somebody please explain (in very simple terms - I'm no techie!!) how I can do it 'the old way' - ie just transferring photos directly?

I sync and back up my phone as I should, it is just the photos that are a problem. The only way I have been able to do it so far is emailing them to myself!!

Thanks,

Em 🙂

iPhone 5, iOS 6, Windows Vista laptop

Use iFunBox.


you could also use iFunBox


Through Window Explorer, you can only import the photos in iPhone Camera Roll. While for the photos that saved on other Albums, or synced from iTunes library, you'll need a professional iPhone photo transfer software.There are multiple software to transfer photos from iOS device to Windows PC But all of them have some limitation and some of them are paid.So I would rather use the one which has no limitation and open source free software. iFunbox is one them as this has so many great features and is free to use.Below are the links to download some of these iOS file management software.

It operates like an USB flash drive but way more faster for file transfer. Files named with international charactors and sized larger than 2GB are all well supported.

I'm trying to download photos from my iPhone 6 onto my PC . BUT, the only place on my PC that recognizes my iPhone 6, is on iTunes. And while on iTunes my list on the left doesn't show "Photos." So....it doesn't show up in "My Computer," or in "Explorer." Anyone have any ideas that can help..? I'm at a loss.
