For windows users,  best way to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone

I have a friend who just purchased new iphone and she'd like to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone.
What is the best steps for her to take?
She has a Windows machine.
thanks in advance!!!

Make sure iTunes is loaded on the PC
If all she wants are photos, she has to have the photos on her PC, not just on the old phone.  The old iPhone backup doesn't save the actual photos, just the setting pointing to where the photos came from.
If the photos are on her PC, your should be able to sync them to the new iPhone with the Photos tab in iTunes (after the new phone is plugged in).
If the photos aren't on her computer, she can copy them from whatever computer has them (assuming she has access to it).

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • Best way to transfer files from old HD to new?

    Apple recently replaced my dying HD with a new one and I have an account on it with basic files and apps running. I have been able to drag and copy home, Applications, net, System, Library, and my user  & shared folders to the new desktop from the old HD. (Fun fact: old HD was apparently dying from overheating: wasn't working well in the enclosure I bought until I parked it on top of a freezer pack. Worked flawlessly after that.)
    So...now I have the old bootable HD in an enclosure, critical folders of files and apps on my desktop, and time machine busily making archives of said folders. How to best rebuild my new account with all the old stuff: migration assistant, setup assistant, or judicious dragging and dropping? I also have DiskWarrior.
    Old and new HD were standard 250 GB, with the old HD about 15% full; time machine is a firewire 500 GB solid-state drive (SSD?)

    It depends on the size and type of HD you have: each has it's own "standard" enclosure. The iMac 250 GB drive is a 3.5" SATA HD; I bought an Inland model 8419 USB 2.0 enclosure, good for either 2.5" or 3.5" HDs. I found my model by searching online for "3.5 SATA HD enclosures": there were several brands that had good recommendations. I'm withholding recommending mine until I have completed recovering my old HD, and get some more operating instructions from inlandus.com. But I will say that the enclosure fit perfectly, with no screws loose.
    What was the defunct computer, and what are the specs on the HD? It is also possible to get enclosure-less hookups:  you can try http://eshop.macsales.com/search/universal+drive+adapter (thanks to Eric Ross)

  • Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

    I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH! 
    So....
    What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?  I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way?  I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over.  Any suggestions on best way to do this?
    Another question, perhaps subquestion.  If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
    Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

    Just one comment on this:
    ‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
    the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
    Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
    I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

  • Best Way to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac

    Okay, here's my situation.
    I installed Snow Leopard and the installation window told me I had to change my volume scheme. Not knowing why the button to allow me to do this was grayed out, I called Apple. The woman I talked to had me boot from the Snow Leopard disc and perform that action. It worked, but what she had be do seemed to delete my hard drive. Because what did say "Macintosh HD" now said "Untitled 1".
    I finished the installation and came to find out that hard drive files were gone.
    Of course Apple can't be blamed, because I should've had my computer backed up. (Ehh. I'm still very angry though..)
    Anyways, I found a nice program to transfer the music from my iPhone to my Mac, but not one single reliable to one to transfer photos.
    HELP! I really need to get these photos (amount: 2,000+) on my computer so I can sync it.

    I assume these photos are NOT in your camera roll, correct?
    If that's the case:

    Of course you realize that the photos you synced to your phone were "optimized" for viewing on the iphone & thus were reduced in size.

  • Transfer Music from old ipod til new iphone

    Hi’
    I bought a iPhone 4, but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the new iphone.
    BTW. The old ipod is on one computer and my new iphone 4 is on another computer.
    Anyone that can help?

    Here is one way which will also transfer playcount, playlists, etc. Do it this way and your iTunes library will be identical on both computers.

  • With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

    Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
    I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
    1. with the help of any android app
    2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
    3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
    I did try some of the options:
    1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
    2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
    Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
    Thank you!

    If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

  • What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?

    What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?
    I'm doing role reversal with these two.  The newer imac is becoming our business computer, the older one will be our personal computer from now on until it gives out.  For the record, I have Carbonite on the business unit.  Should be a no-brainer, right?  (Which is precisely why I'm asking!)
    Thanks for whatever timely and accurate advise you may have.

    Thanks. I stumbled across migration assistant later that afternoon in a google search. Just finished using it today to do the deed. Appreciate your quick response!
