No Photos option in Itunes

You can view your photos ... but not in iTunes.

Check this area:

Perhaps your photos are viewable in the Photos app. It would depend on the sync instructions you have set up under the Photos area I have shown above.

Sorry, this won't help, but may provide moral support. I have the same situation, as, evidently , have many users. There are responses to the same question going back years. Every answer says in effect "Click the device icon, then the photos tab", ignoring the question which clearly states the photos tab simply isn't there.

I want to move photos from a Windows 10 PC to an iPad4 mini. I expected this to take five minutes. Two days later, I still can't get iTunes to show any photos tab. The photos are NOT in iCloud, whatever that is. They are on a PC hard drive. I need them to be on the iPad. Please can anyone explain how to achieve this?

You need to select the iPhone icon at top.

If you see Devices in the sidebar (as in the first screenshot here), you have not selected the iPhone icon at top.

I’m having the same problem. I have connected my iphone using USB port but the photo tab doesn’t appear in iTunes

I cannot locate the settings tab either
