Hi Christian! Just wanted to tell you that I’ve been sitting here for 2 hours trying to figure out how to get my pictures from my iPhone to my laptop. I’ve watched what seems like 50 videos and finally yours was the most easy to understand and works! Thanks from this not tech savvy senior! ❤❤
Thanks, great help! After I transfer them over, how do I delete the individual folders from my iPhone without deleting ALL of my pictures from my iPhone, please? I need to create some memory space in my iPhone
How to preview in the DCIM folder to decide which ones to transfer? I use photos as a default program but I keep getting a message photos cannot open file or This format is not supported.
I don't believe you can find photos marked as favorites using this method. You should be able to find them if you download iCloud Photos for Windows, though.
With this method, you'd be selecting all folders and copying (dragging) them to your PC. However, once on your PC, you'd likely be clicking into each folder to retrieve all photos to organize them. That said, there may be software out there that can help extract files from folders to make the overall process simpler.
It used to be just like that on my PC and then I restarted my computer - ipad is gone from THIS COMPUTER in explorer, Icloud photo showed up instead, but I have nothing in the cloud and I didnt do anything for it to appear. Maybe you know, why could this happen, ive no clue and quick google search gives nothing, dont know how to ask about it.
Hmmm, that's an unusual problem. If you've drilled down in through the main iPhone folder, then there should be files there... Unless your PC just hasn't fully loaded all the folder contents. Otherwise, I unfortunately don't know of another reason why this would happen. :(
Didn't work for me. For some reason my computer can't open jpeg's that are on my iphone? And trying to drag the folders over, it says not supported files, and then when it does let some files over they're all empty.
If I delete photos/videos from my phone will it disappear from my computer as well?? I want to clear everything from my phone but I’m not sure if clearing everything out my phone will delete my photos/videos
The best way to ensure you are clearing your iPhone of photos and videos (if you are planning to reset your phone entirely) is to restore your phone to factory settings. This will remove all personal content such as pictures, videos, apps, settings, etc. and install a clean version of iOS on your phone. Apple has great instructions here: support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
I recently travelled and took hundreds of pictures, only 7 of which are showing up in the dcim folder. I'm so scared to lose it all if I mess something up. I have sent an icloud link to my wife as a back up.
You can try another method to back up photos, such as using a cloud service (like OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive). With those services, you'd just open the app on your phone and the photos would get uploaded to the cloud. You can then retrieve the photos via your browser on your PC. A bit more involved, but definitely doable.

Aww, thank you so much for the kind words!
It worked for me. Great production values. Clear & concise. Thanks Christian.
Thanks, great help! After I transfer them over, how do I delete the individual folders from my iPhone without deleting ALL of my pictures from my iPhone, please?
I need to create some memory space in my iPhone
U just saved me from a nervous break down. Been at this for an hour Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I have had the hardest time getting my photos to my laptop.
How to preview in the DCIM folder to decide which ones to transfer? I use photos as a default program but I keep getting a message photos cannot open file or This format is not supported.
Hmmm, I generally have only used the File Explorer to preview and not another application.
I have 1000+ photos in my iphone i want to save it in my windows 11 laptop but it only show 150 photos in my DCIM...what should i do....
You've got new Subscriber. Great, clear instructions! Keep up the good work.
Hi there. Is there a way to just add the photos & videos that I’ve marked as favorites?
I don't believe you can find photos marked as favorites using this method. You should be able to find them if you download iCloud Photos for Windows, though.
Super clear instructions. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! :)
does this process change the quality of the photograph when it is transferred this way?
No, this process is simply copying over the exact files from the phone to the computer so no quality is being altered.
What if I want to transfer like 20,000 photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC? Do I have to open each individual file and transfer them one by one?
With this method, you'd be selecting all folders and copying (dragging) them to your PC. However, once on your PC, you'd likely be clicking into each folder to retrieve all photos to organize them.

help pls it no show internal storage
I plug my phone into the laptop and there’s no I phone under this pc just the storage for the laptop

oh, ok. restart your ipad several times and on one time its gonna appear randomly. i love apple's stability
This seems easy, but when I click on the DCIM folder it says "folder empty", even though I have a phone full of pictures. Any thoughts?

Shoot, I'm sorry this method didn't work for your PC!

Very easy to follow. Well done
Glad it was helpful!
Nice and clear and simple .... thanks Christian!
Thank you so much!
unfortunately when i try and open the video i transferred it says it cannot play because it is unsupported... do you know how to fix this??
Maybe try opening the video file in an app like VLC? That's usually able to play most file types.
same with mine.file not supported
@@tjrativo1579 What program are you trying to open the file with? For video files, I recommend using VLC. For photos, I recommend
DCIM is empty but I have photos on my phone
Shoot, I'm sorry this method didn't work out!
does not work for me. The iphone never appears on my pc after following your instructions exactly. Then nothing appear.
Shoot, sorry these steps didn't work for you! Sometimes, Windows and various PC builds are finicky and I wish I had other advice to share.
@@ChristianPizzirani it turns out that with my Samsung phone there is no problem but with my partner's iphone, it is impossible.
Thanks so much
☺️
thanks a lot it was helpful
but i want to transfer more than 1000
Too bad it's not that easy to do the reverse.
Yeah, I haven't tried it in a while, but there was a way to transfer photos using iTunes.
@@ChristianPizzirani right now, I just use iCloud for desktop and iPhone. Easy transferring
I recently travelled and took hundreds of pictures, only 7 of which are showing up in the dcim folder. I'm so scared to lose it all if I mess something up. I have sent an icloud link to my wife as a back up.

@@ChristianPizzirani Thank you so much for the quick reply. I was able to login to my icloud on pc and directly download them all from there.
hooraah
No idea what the heck he’s talking about
Ah, sorry if the guide wasn't clear!
@@ChristianPizzirani no it’s me🥲 I need instruction for super iPhone dummy😭 switching to android but I need to transfer pics and movies first 😭😭😭
@@amp53810 Oh no! Well I wish you all the best with getting those files transferred over!
