Can no longer transfer iphone pictures to pc

Please Help!
  I have read through dozens of responses in your forum about the transfer of iPhone photographs to a PC.that does no good because the responses are conflicting. What makes me scratch my head the most is that apparently no one is aware that at one point in time you could plug your iPhone into the computer in the computer would automatically recognize it as a drive through which you could access the photos. I promise, I am not hallucinating. As recently as December I plug the iPhone 4s nto a Windows 8 laptop and transfer all the photographs off there to the computer. I did not engage in any other software or any existing program in either the iPhone or the computer.  The operation was just as it is when reading a memory card plugged into the computer. The computer recognizes it, asks you what you want to do with it and let you do it.  Incidentally, this same process worked on all six computers that I use at home and work.   All of a sudden however, when I plug the iPhone 4s or my new iPhone 6 Plus into any of those computers, it does not recognize them as drives, you cannot find it in the directory tree of the computer and you cannot in any way locate photos.
someone please tell me what has changed.  Some also say that you have to have the most recent iTunes on there. On the iPhone 4s the pictures are still in there but iTunes has never been used on that phone, yet, in the past I was able to see the picture! I hope I haven't complicated my question so much that no one understands it but I hope that someone out there can tell me that I'm not losing my mind and it was once possible to do this. In any case I just need to know how to get a lot of photographs off of the iPhone because the file size is so large that I can't back up to iCloud.
By the way, for those of you who want to regurgitate the notion that your phone has to be unlocked, please just save your time. It was never an issue that the phone was locked before but even if it were,I have unlocked the phone, unplug it and replug it, rebooted, Rachel all the gods of heaven and earth and all the moons, and all the rocks in the desert and it still does not work. I sure hope you did something really stupid looking me in the face and makes me feel like a fool. I would much rather feel like a fool for not knowing how to do it then to feel like a fool when I lose all these pictures that are so precious. Thank you!

You don't transfer iphotos to itunes.  Itunes is not a photo management program.Pics taken with iphone are imported to your computer as you would from any digital camera. Photos synced to your iphone from your computer are synced one way - computer to iphone.  As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there, but you can use some third party app like: iStonsoft iPhone to computer transfer, Vibosoft iPhone transfer, Cool, or iPubsoft.
There are many apps works:
Vibosoft iPhone/iPad/iPod to computer transfer:

  • With the new Yosemite update (10.10.3) I can no longer transfer my photographs into Adobe  Photoshop Elements by the previously expedient  'click and drag' method. Neither am I able to import or export them. Does anyone have suggestion on moving them?

    With the new Yosemite update (10.10.3) I can no longer transfer my photographs into Adobe

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • Lightroom 4 can no longer see the pictures on any of my SD cards, why is this?

    Hi all,
    Lightroom 4 can no longer see the pictures on my SD card when I insert it into my computer. The photos are definately on there, when I right click and press 'show in finder' they are all right there, yet Lightroom can't see them - it show '0 Photos' on the memory card tab .
    I played around moving pictures from sub folders on the SD card to the first level (which didn't make a difference), and checked read/write permissions (which all seem fine).
    Gear:
    -IMac, OS X v10.7.5, Intel Core i5.
    -Nikon D5000
    -Mix of SanDisk and PNY Professional memory cards (all have pictures on and Lightroom cant see any!)
    Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me nuts!
    Jason

    Hi all. After struggling with this for a while I changed the name of the memory card in finder - this seemed to do the trick though I have no idea why! Any thoughts?

  • After lollypop upgrade I can no longer transfer files from LG g3 to windows8 computer using USB charge cord. Can I roll back to Kittcat?

    After lollypop upgrade I can no longer transfer files from LGg3 to windows8 computer using USB charge cord. Can I roll back to Kittcat?

    That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

    I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
    Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
    There is plenty of storage available
    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

  • I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!

    I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!

    The exclamation point occurs when iPhoto breaks/loses the file path to the original file.  So try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot AND
    the option to rebuild the small thumbnails. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6

    Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6. Diagnostics: Connectivity test-ipod found. Sync test -ipod not found. This problem began about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded itunes update 12.1.0.71 about 1 week ago. I'm on Windows 7.

    Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
    I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday.  Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it.  Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
    -Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device.  Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there.  The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
    -If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
    -For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played.  You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously.  I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc.  Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
    All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together.  We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format.  They have a phone number on their website.  I left a message.  Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
    Good luck everyone.  Post back here if you find something out.

  • Can no longer see iPhone in iTunes on Mac at home

    I wonder if you can help? We have 2 iPhones & a Nano all connected to iMac at home & to date syncing happily. I have recently downloaded iTunes to windows PC at work so I can sync iPhone calender with work Outlook calendar. I have managed this successfully syncing my phone at both home & work. This week however my work PC seemed to be having probs seeing my phone. I eventually got them "talking" but during the process the work PC had a pop up saying something about not having the apps in iTunes and did I want them copied. I was given two options, one to transfer & the other not to transfer however it said if I did not transfer the apps would be deleted from my phone(!) I therefore chose the transfer option but it started deleting apps during the sync process anyway. I immediately unplugged the phone but since then I can no longer even see my iPhone in iTunes on my home based iMac (where the back up is!). I have followed the help suggestions (reboot iMac, phone etc) but with no luck. Apologies if this is unclear, I am a bit technically challenged and so really have no idea what I have done/am doing. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.

    Thanks a lot!  After I sent the above post, I tried that.  It worked a little.  Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up.  I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem.  They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again.  It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible.  iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was.  I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it! 

  • HT201412 Voice Memos quits/can no longer sync iphone 4 - linked problem

    Voice Memos quits after two seconds of opening AND can no longer sync phone iphone4 to itunes, tried resetting, but don't want to restore phone to factory settings as I have important recordings I want to use. Help!!
    I've taken itunes off computer and downloaded it again (suggested by other forum). No joy...
    The two problems seemed to happen simultaneously.

    diesel vdub - thanks for your comment.
    As noted in my post:
    "Another problem is that I have thousands of music files on my iPhone, and only 180 songs are now showing up in the iTunes library. The majority of songs in both iTunes library and the music library on my iPhone are not purchased - they come from a large CD collection."
    The hesitation comes from the fact that the number of songs that show up in my iTunes library is a small percentage of the number songs that were previously in the iTunes library.  My understanding is that if I sync the content of my iTunes library to the iPhone, I will end up losing thousands of songs that are currently on my iPhone but not in iTunes.
    If I could find where the other songs went (and why iTunes is no longer seeing those song files) then perhaps I could load those back into iTunes and the risk of syncing will disappear.

  • Can I just transfer iPhoto pictures from an old mac to a new one without transferring anything else?

    I bought a new iMac back in September and finally got around to setting it up.  Unfortunately, I am having loads of trouble transferring stuff from my older iMac to the new one.  It probably has something to do with the reason why we've replaced it...video RAM failure.  I really don't care about settings and applications and most other stuff on the old computer, but I really do want my photo library and if possible, all my saved emails.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We've tried transferring info from first set-up of the new computer and the old computer would just freeze and have to be shut down half way through the process.  We tried this for HOURS yesterday and just wouldn't work.  Both computers were connected via FireWire, but it didn't help.  I got so fed up with it that I just manually set up the new computer, but it's a blank canvas.  I can get my new e-mail, but don't have my saved emails or my contact list.  We tried transferring again after setting up the new computer but that failed as well...the old one froze half way through.  Can I just transfer bits and pieces without having to transfer the whole user account and settings?

    I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through.  Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while.  My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much.  That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal.  I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.
