How do I organize the photos on a PC? I can download them, but in iTunes I don't have a way to work with the photos - and I can't figure out how I can organize using my PC Windows Explorer.
As you have been told, you do not organize photos with iTunes, and the photos are really not handled by iTunes, it is just a helper. You would organize the photos on the computer like you would any files. Just remember, when you select folders in iTunes to sync, iTunes will only sync down one level, in other words, don't create folders within folders. After creating folders with names you want, put the photos in the folders and then sync to the phone. In the Photos tab, just select the individual folders you want. You do not have to sync all folders and all of the thousands that you have on the computer, only the selected ones you want. Just remember that saving photos in the camera roll, or now the recently added, is just inviting problems. That area is very much like volatile memory on the computer. If something happens to the phone and you have to reset, if you do not have those photos imported to the computer or are just relying on the iPhone backup, you could find yourself without photos at all. Import them and then sync back. That way the backup of the photos is the computer folder.
