I just got a new computer with Windows 8 and I am trying to get my pictures and videos off of my iphone onto the computer but it is not listed as an available device on my computer. I did already download Itunes and my music has been synced in itunes. I just need to know what to do for my computer to recognize my Iphone as a device.
iPhone 4S, IMAC
HI.
You can plug in your iPhone into your computer/laptop. Then, you go to computer in your documents. After that, you go to removable drive. (Or, it may be called iPhone). Go to the photos folder (or when you enter the drive, it may already be there) and copy whatever photos you want. At last, you can paste them wherever you want (you photos folder on your computer!)
:-)
Maybe this will help.
Here is what I did, and it should (I hope) apply to any device that you can connect to the computer via USB Cord:
1. Attach the iPhone with a USB cord.
2. Hold down the Windows key at press the "E" key. This should launch a box entitled "Computer," on the left side of that box you should see a column of items you should see a list of items including Favorites, Libraries, and then Computer. In the Computer group you should see your device listed. In our case it was "Deborah's iPhone."
3. Click on the device. Over on the right there will be something that represents what's on the phone, in our case it says Internal Storage
4. Double click the Internal Storage. It will change to DCIM and tell you it's a file folder. Double click that, and it will change to something like 823WGTMA, A file folder.
5. Double click that! you should then see Thumbnails of all the photos on the iPhone.
6. Near the upper right corner of the box, you will see something that says Select All. Click that, and all the thumbnails will be highlighted.
7. Go back to the row where you found Select All, and click Copy To, and go down the list to Pictures, and click that.
8. Your photos should be importing at this point.
While trying to solve this, I noticed (but, unfortunately can't remember where) that in a list of devices and actions for the computer to take, it said when her iphone was connected, "Do Nothing." I changed that setting.
This is a two month old ASUS laptop with Windows 8, and an iPhone 4.
Hope this helps. My next laptop will be a Mac.
How do I take pictures and videos off of my iphone and put on my new computer with windows 8?
