 Topic: Xferring Pics
Posted: 05 Feb 2025 at 5:09pm |
Am I ever lost. I even tried to follow Google's instructions to a tee. I want to transfer pics from an I phone to My Pictures in Win 10 on the desk top.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanx

i think the best way is to use a USB cable, plug the phone into the computer and hope the computer recognizes the phone as a STORAGE SPOT... Like a camera or external hard drive ??? .......... Then you can Drag and Drop from the phone to a file on the computer ??
Is that what you tried ? .... If you only have a few photos, then you can e-mail them to yourself..

Whenever I transfer pictures(or download anything from the web..) to PC, they go TO my Desktop NOT to a 'folder' that is 'somewhere' in the computer...... This way I KNOW I got them ! Wife has IPhone? and Win10PC, grand daughter does the transfers for her. I don't TOUCH her PC as it was setup by the 'expert' whose also the 'contractor'.
BTW You should say WHICH Iphone, cause I bet each is different then the other .

Like Steve(Ill) said, Best/easiest is to plug the phone to the computer with a USB cable, find the "photos" folder in the phone files, and drag/drop the photos into dated folders under a main "Pictures" folder.
Once safely within your computer, you can rename them to something that makes sense and organize them further to make finding them easier.
If you have a Windows machine, I highly suggest availing yourself of the FREE program FastStone; you want the first option = Image Viewer; I have used FastStone extensively for years and highly recommend it = far better than the supplied photo viewer that comes in Windows.
Plus, FastStone is a full-fledged photo handling program, able to edit, crop, add text to photos; and, it has an excellent automatic batch renaming feature that will rename/number any amount of photos in whatever fashion you choose.
I much prefer to incorporate the Date/Time Taken as the first part of all my photo names and store them in dated folders = much easier to find later.
Very important is to have someone who knows what they are doing to make sure your phone is capturing the photos as jpegs - or RAW and Large jpegs - instead of some weird phone format.

That will get the job done, albeit quite a bit slower than a card reader.
If your camera has a removable memory card, be it CF or SD, it is a good idea at least twice per year, more often if you live in super-humid Kentucky, to remove and reinsert the memory card, even if you don't transfer photos that way.
Reason being, the contacts of the card will eventually develop a film on them and sooner or later lose contact; probably causing you to miss that once in a lifetime shot.
Occasional removal and reinsertion will sort of shine up the contacts and keep them in contact.
The same goes for the battery(s) if you charge them without removing them.
