Where are photo & other types of files located in iOS 8

Can somebody please tell me where files are stored in iOS 8 ???
Why isn't there a Finder in iOS 8 like there is in OS X ???
I have photos (several hundred) that are stored on my old iPhone 4s, that are not in iCloud, that are more than 30 days old...I can see them in the Photo app on the iPhone, but when I connect to iPhoto or iTunes in OS X, they don't show up...
Why has Apple made it so difficult to do the simplest of things on my iPhone...look at and/or easily transfer files back and forth between my phone and my desktop.
I don't have the time to spend hours researching online to look through a bunch of redundant crap that doesn't actually answer my question.
Syncing is great, if you want that, but like me, not everybody wants or needs that...I would like to see an option for a manual selective file transfer between devices (phone, tablet and notebook/desktop), in addition to a file manager like Finder, in iOS, is that too much to ask.
Sharing everything with everyone is great, but even that has become a cluster*&^%^$&* because of the constant changes with every iOS upgrade and version.
If you're going to change things, please include detailed explanations about how and what those changes are and how they're different from before in the help/support areas.  It seems like I see the same vague phrases and paragraphs in the supposed help areas, with not much help.

Hi Allan,
Thanks for the quick reply and thanks for the feedback link.
Do you know why I can't see the hundreds of photos stored on my old iPhone 4s, which I believe I had transferred most of via iTunes several years ago with either iOS 5 or 6, in the current iTunes or iPhoto ???
I find this very frustrating because I know they are located on the phone, or at least the data/metadata, is on there.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Chris

  • Where are all the java source files located at on the server for 11.5.10?

    Hello,
    I found the object code file "MOLine.class" under the "/localapps/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/inv/mo/server" directory on the server. But I simply could not find its source file "MOLine.java". Could someone please tell me where I can find all the java source code on the server? This is for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.
    Regards,
    Smita

    An error occured when trying to open the file for reading. Filename: ".\jad\tmp\MOLine.java"
    Current Working Directory: C:\Program Files\Cavaj Java Decompiler\
    System error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
    C++ exception: ios: failbit setDo you get the same error if you use a directory name which has no space in name?
    Question is, when I am trying to decompile MOLine.class to produce MOLine.java, why is it looking for MOLine.java?Most probably because you cannot decompile the class file (I believe if it was possible, Oracle would have provided the java file).
    Thanks,

  • HT1657 Where are the rented movies on iTunes located....I see it on my phone, but can not locate the movie on any other computer.  Thank you!

    Where are the rented movies on itunes located?  I see them on my iphone, but I am unable to locate them in my itunes, even via searching the name.  Thank you!

    You cannot.

  • Type in file location in Finder or file selector windows

    Is there any way I can get a text field, preferrably with filename completion, where I can simply type in the location of a file or folder? In the Finder or file selector dialog, that is?
    Yeah, a directory GUI is nice, but in some cases it is actually faster to write the name than to track down and click through a chain of folder icons. I mean, while still using the GUI - not doing everything in the shell. And just being able to see the path to the directory you're looking at may be useful, too...

    Whoops. Somehow I forgot about Go->Go To Folder, and overlooked it when trying to find it, when I wanted to do this for the first time in a while. How embarassing...
    This interface is of course also available in the file selector via the normal shortcut (ShiftOptionG)
    Even "more direct" access to folder location would sometimes be nice, though...

  • IMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?

    iMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 GB "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?
    I've tried cleaning up the HDD from HD tool twice and pressed command-option-P-R while restarting the Mac afterwards. The avaliable HDD space "improved" from 1.3 MB to 121 MB after the first restart and descresed down to 119MB after the second restart. I have kept very little AV files as well as doucment files. My application programs are just several GB. Is this a system problem. Do I have to reinstall the system?
    Much appreciate any advice!!

    Good afternoon...
    just wondering how reasonable it would be to modify JFileChooser to work with other types of file systems. such as .zip archives, remote FTPs, etc.
    any ideas where i should start?
    i even want to use this for something that doesn't contain files at all, but the analogy works perfectly.

    how to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file??
    thank you very much for your help=]

    I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
    Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

  • Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located

    Hi
    Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located?  Is it two fingers swipe down to goto the next month?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know that there are any preferences for setting what swiping does in the Calendar.
    Two finger swipes left and right skip months in month view. They skip weeks in week view. Two fingers up and down scroll up and down (which does nothing in month view).

  • Where are the other ten gigs?

    My MBP has a 120 gig HD, but when I go to "Get Info", it says my capacity is 111.47 gigs, with 91.76 available, and 19.71 used. Where are the other ten gigs?
    Also, does anyone know how much space Leopard consumes?

    Where are the other ten gigs?
    They're tied up in things like file names, file permissions, folders, and the HFS+ journal. A file containing 1MB of data still needs to store its name and permissions and so on somewhere, and your filesystem allows for this in its space calculations.
    This is usually what's referred to when people say "formatted capacity".

    after the update, i have only computers and settings icon, Where are the others ? youtube etc.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check you have an internet connection and that you are using the correct iTunes store location setting.
    Try restarting the router.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
