Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I backed up my iphone photos to iTunes on my PC.
Now I want to access them, but have no space on my iphone to restore.
Can I just get my photos from itunes and keep them as photos on my PC?
I don't want to keep them all on my phone. I want to have them as photos on my PC.
Is this possible.
Thanks,
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2
Hello there, Derm.
It sounds like you've backed up your iPhone with iTunes but also want to import the photos to your computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers some practical instructions for importing photos from your iOS device:
Import media to a Windows PC
Before importing your media:
- Unlock your iOS device using your passcode, particularly if you've never synced your device with the computer before. Learn more about iOS passcodes.
- Makes sure your iOS device trusts the computer you want to import your media onto. Learn more about "Trust this Computer."

- iPhoto, Image Capture, and Aperture are not the only applications through which you can import photos to your computer.
- Learn more about using a camera with your Mac.
- Learn more about using Photo Stream to import your photos to your computer.
- After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
- You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You can't import photo or video content synced from iTunes.
- When importing photos and videos from your device to a Windows computer, some photos and videos may appear to be rotated incorrectly. Some third-party photo-management software for Windows displays iOS photos with the correct orientation without having to rotate the images. To play videos on your computer at the correct orientation, use iTunes for Windows.
- Windows XP might not be able to import videos larger than 500MB without iTunes installed, a third-party program, or updated drivers.
