HOW TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO PC

Glad you got your photos.

I have not used photo stream but those photos will be in the iCloud. Sign in to iCloud on your PC and see if you can copy them.

As for the videos - if you had them in your camera roll (videos taken by your phone) they will have come down with the photos you just copied.

To find out what is taking up space on your phone go to Settings>General>Usage and you will get a list of size for each App.

I am running my 4S with 6.1.3 with no problems at all (like thousands of others). There are some reports of problems on this forum but they are a very small percentage of the millions of iPhones out there.

Its your decision at the end of the day.

As to your space problem - connect your phone to iTunes and select it in the sidebar (as if you were going to sync).

At the bottom of the screen in various colours are the sizes of things like Apps, Photos, Videos etc.

There is one called "Other". If this is larger than say 1.5 Gb then you may have a problem.

If it is very large you can search these forums as there are multiple post about reducing the size of "Other"

Hope this helps.

PS - to see the size in Gb just hover your pointer over the coloured section.

If your phone is connected in iTunes you should see it in the sidebar. Just click on it and you should see your phone summary in the main part of the screen. Very near the bottom you should see the coloured sections in a strip.

As you were on autosync before you changed it I think you've probably done enough syncing for one day !!!!

Whenever you want to sync now - just click the Sync Now button

Other contains a bunch of stuff like Album Artwork, App data, etc...

I think we are getting a bit far from the original question in this thread.

If you switch on Find My Phone you can locate it on a map and remotely erase or lock it (like it says in under the option)

You don't need a password, but you will need to access your iCloud account on a PC or other iPhone to perform those functions.

Hope this was helpful.

If you have other questions please start a new post as this one has already been flaged as solved - so other helpers won't be looking at it.

Just want to make sure you are getting advice and help from as many people as possible.

Just wanted to add that I had the same problem (unable to transfer pictures from iphone 4S to a PC running Windows 7) and that dilbert 41's answers here solved my issue! The iPhone driver needed to be updated. Now things are running smoothly. Thank you!

Thanks -- I was having the same problem today, and was able to find and update the driver using your replies here. Problem fixed!

Sure, you can transfer iPhone photos to PC easily on condition that you use the right method, this is my suggestions about it:

Step 1: Launch iPhone to Computer Transfer then plug in your iPhone

Step 2: Select Photo files and click "Export" button to Computer/iTunes

Step 3: Set the Output folder at Advanced -> Options

Step 4: View the transferred photo files on Computer

Hope it can help you a lot!😉

Many people would like to use iTunes to transfer pictures from iPhone to PC.

If your plug your iPhone into pc - it shows up in itunes - but it does NOT show up in your devices, you can upgrade your iTunes and try it again.

If you still can't use iTunes to do it, I think you should try another way to transfer your iPhone picture to PC.

Good luck!

Hi all,

just joined a sec ago to post the result of my 2 day dig for a solution on gettin' photos other the the camera rolll from iphone to your pc. Solution is this photo app:

http://software.bigbigsoft.com/iphone-to-mac-transfer

tried it myself just now, worked like a charm. I got the photos to my pc now. It's not the most versatile tool as you cannot manage the photos ON your iphone but for overwriting / deleting photos other then the camera roll shouldn't be a problem... just sync in itunes with a different folder then previously. this should overwrite all existing. last resort would be a restore...

enjoy

EASIEST WAY to get away from Apple and their nonsense. Just download the Google Drive app and you can just drag them onto your 15gig drive that Google gives you. then just connect to your PC and grab them. I have been in Computers for 20 years and I have never had a problem I can't figure out. I feel sooooo sorry for the poor saps that buy Apple and have no idea how to get their stuff off. I guess that's why most people can get their stuff stolen from the cloud. They have no other way to store their stuff.

( IT IS UNBELIEVABLE that I spent this much time just trying to get my photos off a device! I can't believe that this company can get away with this)
