You can also upload all pics to the iCloud. I pay $.99 for 50 gb of cloud storage a month. I can access any and all of my data from Apples iCloud website.

 

Trade the Apple for something that consistently works.

 

yea my preferred method is to connect to pc and drag and drop. it's weird that my Iphone XR "kinda works" but my iphone 13 pro does not work at all

the DCIM files are not showing up

 

Same iOS version on both?

 

I know you're running windows and not a Mac so this doesn't apply but for anyone running a Mac, all my iPhone pics show up automatically in the Mac Photos app and in the latest Mac OS I can use one keyboard and mouse across all my devices so I can drag-n-drop anything between them. The Mac and iPhone also have a shared clipboard so I can cut something on the iPhone and paste it anywhere on the Mac.

 

thanks all i might just increase my icloud for a month - download all the pics i need and be done with it lol

 

I go old school. I email them to my pc.

 

I wish I can, it’s 200gigs

it’s actually for my wife as she upgraded her phone and wants to archive them

 

This can happen when you have iCloud Photos turned on because when this is enabled it doesnt actually store all your photos on the phone itself. They are stored online and when you go to view them on your phone then are essentially downloaded. This is why sometimes you notice a little downloading icon when look at old photos. Check to see if that is what happening. If it is, then you can either download them from her iCloud account online. iCloud.com or you can disable iCloud Photos, download them onto your phone and then plug your phone into your computer to copy them.

 

i thought that might do the trick - turned off icloud

plugged in phone - the phone is there - but no folders to look at

thanks anyway

i know this worked in the past because i do have folders on my laptop from my old iphone - not sure what changed - prob another way for apple to get you to buy icloud storage

edit - nevermind - they now appeared - i guess it needed time to load - thanks!!!!

You turned off iCloud Photos, chose download photos, and it didnt work?

 

I just back up to my thumb drive then plug it in to the pc.

 

i turned off icloud - plugged it in and now the dcim folders appear - so i can drag and drop etc

 

Just grab a cable and hook it to the PC and export the photos

 

yea im good guys lol thanks for the help! the trick was to turn off icloud
