Cannot download photos from original 1st gen iphone

An aunt passed on her old 1st gen iphone (16GB) to my son for Christmas as a starter phone.  We cannot get the photos he shot Christmas to download to our Windows vista computer. The only way we can get a photo off this phone  seems to be by email - one at a time -Surely there is some better way!
I've downloaded iTunes and it will back-up the phone, but I can't find any way to see the photos.  Following an old discussion we tried to look at the phone files without iTunes (clicking on it in My computer ) and it wants to format the disk. 
The phone wants us to connect to MobileMe, but we don't have an account and it is closed to new registrations, and you need a higher iOS to connect to iCloud.    We have downloaded and tried Diskaid based on another discussion and it can't seem to see the phone either, but iTunes can. I cannot find a way to seach the app store and filter by iOS version, in order to find a some other file transfer program that works with 3.1.3 - they all seem to require 4.0 or higher.
I thought Apple was supposed to be user-friendly...but it certainly doesn't seem to support older equipment users very well. 

When there are photos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to a compatible computer. Photos in the Camera Roll can be imported by the computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes.
Try the Windoze scanner and camera wizard, which works with every iPhone and iOS version beginning with the first - 1.0.

  • I cannot download photos from my apple iphone 4

    I cannot download photos from my apple iphone 4. I rang apple who took me through some instructions and talked me through to what to do. We tried both a laptop pc (windows 7) and an apple macbook pro and tried two different cables.
    Cannot seem to download any photos at all, both laptop do not seem to recognise the device.
    Apple told me to email the photos, this is impracticle as there is such a large quantity.
    My issue is still not resolved.
    Can you help??

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

  • How to download photo from my PC to iphone?

    hi, i would like to download photo from my PC to iphone, but don't know how!!
    is anyone can help? and i need to download some sofeware first???
    thanks a million,

    This depends on how you store/manage photos on your computer.
    If you manually manage photos on your computer, you need to place the photos that you want to transfer to your iPhone in a name folder. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select this folder followed by a sync.
    If you want to transfer multiple folder or albums that contain photos, create a parent folder that will contain the folders that include photos only. Place the folder that contain photos in the parent folder and under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • I cannot download photos from icloud to my laptop.

    OS is win7 and I have installed icloud control panel 4.0. All other data, e.g. contacts, tasks and files, can synchronise with icloud. But I cannot download photos from icloud.

    Hi Xanderway,
    I see that you are having an issue with your Photo Stream in iCloud on your PC. I have an article with some troubleshooting steps you may wish to take in order to resolve this issue, and it can be found here:
    Get help using My Photo Stream - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203511
    I added some photos to My Photo Stream on my Windows PC, but they don't appear in the Recently Added album or My Photo Stream album on any of my devices.
    To see if your computer and other devices are online, try to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos can't send or receive updates from My Photo Stream. You might need to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    On your computer, open iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel) and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure that you used one of the methods below to add photos to My Photo Stream with iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel) on your Windows PC.
    Add the photos using the Add Photos button in iCloud Photos:
    Open a File Explorer window (Windows 8 or 8.1) or Windows Explorer window (Windows 7).
    Under the Favorites menu, click iCloud Photos.
    Double-click My Photo Stream.
    Click Add photos.
    Select the photos that you'd like to add and click OK.
    Or you can copy photos from a folder to the iCloud Photos Uploads folder:
    Confirm the location of your Uploads folder.
    Open iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Click the Options button next to iCloud Photos.
    Open a File Explorer window (Windows 8 or 8.1) or Windows Explorer window (Windows 7).
    Go to the iCloud Photos folder location listed in iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel).
    Open the Uploads folder.
    Open the folder that contains the photos that you want to add to My Photo Stream.
    Copy them into the Uploads folder.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • First impressions of the 3.0 update from a 1st gen iPhone user

    MIne is a 1st gen iPhone purchased opening day 2 years ago and I had a brief period of non working stocks and weather apps that are now fine (apparently an issue that was widespread today across the diff iPhones). After that everything is business as usual. I did reset my settings after the install and restore my iphone with a current back up as a precaution and so far works great.
    First impressions: The camera is a little snappier and sharper in photo taking.
    Copy and paste: RAD!!!
    Voice memos: Can send instantly via e-mail MY LADY LIKES....KINDA KINKY!!!
    Find my phone: Would be cooler with GPS the 1st gen won't help you find exactly where it is.
    Spotlight: very functional and useful for a phone packed with stuff...like mine.
    Landscape keyboard: nice but should have been there 1st time out.
    Overall it's the kind of update that a moderately smart user that can RTFM will install and enjoy. If you are an idiot who tries to install it from a buddies computer or likes to unplug things in midstream you won't like it, because your phone will be useless until you do it properly and follow the simple steps.

    hi,
    we were trying an export from one database to another- and ran into problems- portal created a package under the portal30 schema (dbms_lob- a copy of which originally exists under the sys schema) that was previously not there.
    so we decided to uninstall the portal and the sso schemas. we carried out this step:
    1) Drop the Portal, SSO, and their respective _public DB users cascade.
    but the portal30 schema will not allow us to drop the dbms_lob package that it created (which incidentally compiles with an invalid package body)
    it continues to give the following error message:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [16201], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
    is there any way to complete the unistallation of portal without unistalling the entire database?
    thanks for any help.

  • Cannot download apps from App Store using iPhone 6

    Cannot download applications from App Store using my iPhone 6, and when I made a sign out, I cannot sign in, even I asked to reset my Apple ID account by e-mail, but I did not receive any feedback by mails yet, while I can access the App Store, and download apps using my old iPhone 4, and my iPad Air using the same account.
    I Stuck now, and what I read cannot help me, as I cannot sign in even.

    Dears, the case is sorted now, and I am sharing the YouTube link which helped me to sort this issue, to help others.

  • Cannot download photos from Kodak Z612 using new Photos

    I had no problem downloading photos from my Kodak Z612 camera using iPhoto. Now I cannot download anything using the new Photos or Image Capture. As in earlier posts, re. iPhoto April 2014, I get a list of the .jpg photos that I wanted to import and a message that says the files are in the wrong format. Really? .jpg is the wrong format? I tried a couple of work-arounds from April 2014, but they did not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to download photos from my Z 612 using the new Photos?

    Thanks for the info, but I have done that before searching for answers to the problem. I, and anyone else with the same problem, should not be required to jump through extra hoops to do what we have always done with iPhoto, whether it is a Kodak or a Nikon.

  • Photos from iPod 1st gen to mac?

    Hey there I just found my old iPod 1st Gen and there are endless old pictures on it and
    i tryed to get the pictures on my iPhoto but the iPod won't show up. I have backed up the iPod to be save atleast but
    is there a way to get all pictures on my Mac? Thanks

    Since the photos were likely synced to the iPod, you need a third-party program to get synced photos from an iPod to a computer. Some programs are TouchCopy and PhoneView. The free iFunBox MAY work too.

  • Cannot email photos v2.2 first gen iphone

    since the 2.2 update every time i try to email a photo from my phone it will just back me out to the home screen. I have already done the restore option twice with no luck - should i just call tech support?

    Email account settings are included with your iPhone's backup so if there is a problem there or with something else included with your iPhone's backup and you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, you are restoring the problem with it.
    Did you also try restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    If not and before doing so, have you also tried deleting and manually recreating the email account on your iPhone?

    Have you taken your phone to an Apple Store? They can run a bunch of tests on your phone.
    I would try a Hard Reset (Hold the home and power button). Phone should turn off then turn back on, on its own.
    Try resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings. If that doesn't would you need to do a FULL restore. Do not restore from backup.
