I transferred photos from my iPhone 6 onto my computer and some didn't transfer?

I plugged my iPhone 6 onto my lap top and clicked on internal storage then DCIM. It gave me 5 folder options to pick my photos from. 90% off them were in those folders except for about 20. I transferred the ones available onto my lap top but the other 20 are still in My Photos on my phone. Why didn't those certain pictures not transfer?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

Hello MNRoth,

I can't tell from your question if you are working with a Mac or a PC, and what application you used to transfer your photos. I've included a resource below that will explain how to import your photos from the iPhone onto your computer. Hopefully this method will pick up the 20 that are missing.

If you have My Photo Stream enabled, and the images were taken with the iPhone, that would be another way to get them on your computer.

Photos and videos

You might already have a copy of your library in iCloud Photo Library beta and the last 30 days of photos in My Photo Stream:

  • If you enabled iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8.1 or later, your photos and videos are automatically uploaded to iCloud at full resolution. You can download the original photos and videos from iCloud.com, or select Download and Keep Originals on your iOS device, then import the photos to your computer.
  • In OS X, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto or Aperture library, unless My Photo Stream and Automatic Import are turned off in iPhoto or Aperture preferences.
  • In Windows, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported when My Photo Stream is turned on in iCloud for Windows (or iCloud Control Panel).


You can also use the steps below to manually copy your photos and videos. Any comments or likes attached to a shared photo aren't saved, and photos and videos saved from shared albums aren't full resolution.


Regards,
