How do I transfer my whole iPhone 4 Camera Roll to Win7 run PC?

How do I transfer the whole (not just the new photos, but the whole) of my camera roll on my iPhone 4 (using the latest software) to my (Win7) PC? I've done this before by simply going Computer > Josh's iPhone > Internal Storage > DCIM. Then at will I'd select and distribute my photos. However within the DCIM folder there are nine folders all with names such as 823WGTMA, 842GGLUF and 965YOKDJ.
Initially I thought it'd be a bit of hasstle having to go into each individual folder, selecting the photos, then copying them; but still do-able! Unfortunately upon trying to copy all the photos in the nine different folders to one folder (named Full Camera Roll) an error message came up saying Two Files Have The Same Name, or something to that effect, with only two options, Copy and Replace, or Don't Copy at all. No sign of Copy and keep Both. Now if it were just a few photos I would normally just edit each name manually, but I'm talking about moving several thousand photos!
In short, is there any way of transferring the whole camera roll without renaming each individual photo, and without gong to several different folders to get at them? If you did take the time to read this, thank you, and thank you if you take the time to offer any help!

I think you have dup names because the OS has started recycling the names.  There is a limit to how far it can go before that happens.  Take a look at the first and last folders on your phone and see if the numbers begin again.  If that's the case, you can copy the contents of all the folders except one of the ones containing the dupes to a single folder on your PC, but then you will have to copy any files with dup names into a different folder and rename them there before copying into your new single folder.  Here are instructions for doing that on Win 7:

  • How do i transfer back pictures to my camera roll?

    Hello friends
    In advance, my apologies for asking something that has been discused before. But i was hoping to get clearer recommendations for my situation.
    I have an iPhone 4 wich used to be in iOS6. A couple of days ago I updated it to iOS7. Since i have had problems upgrading in the past, i made sure to make a copy of my pictures folder on my PC. I have 2 folders (823WGTMA and 860OKMZO) with around 1000 pictures each. I unfortunately didnt make a backup with iTunes.
    Upgrade process went wrong the first time and i had to completly restore my iPhone to factory defaults. Its fine since i have contacts and settings on iCloud. Unluckily, lost the pictures. Now iPhone is on iOS7 with all my settings/contacts/mail restored, except my pictures.
    As i told you, i currently have the pictures on my PC and i really need to put them back on my camera roll. I also would like to preserve the "date taken" (which i already confirmed on my PC it was ok) so i can see the photo collections by moments.
    Can you kindly advise what can i do to perform this?
    I will appreciate your help on this.

    If you would like to retrieve photos of your camera roll which should be included in an iCloud back up, then you would have to completely reset your device (Settings > General > Restet) and restore it from this backup during the initial setup. (Please note that if you would restore your device from an old backup that you would lose data which you added since the backup was made.)

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone 6 Plus to my PC running Windows 8.1?

    When I connect the iPhone 6 Plus to the PC it doesn't recognised it, except for iTunes which it sync and automatically backup.
    My issue is I want to move the photos from my iP6+ to reduce the size of my backup so I can free up space for my PC.
    In the previous iPhone models, I would usually see a folder where I can see the iPhone photo folders but for the iP6+ its not there.

    Hi Caoski,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The first thing we need to figure out is why the PC is not recognizing your iPhone 6 Plus.  This article provides some possible solutions:

  • How do I transfer pictures not on my camera roll to my MacBook?

    Does anybody know how to transfer pictures from an iphone into a MacBook that are not appearing in my Iphoto? I tried the product Phoneview but it only transfered 20 of my 200 hundred pictures and I would really much rather not pay $20 for the full program =( Any pointers? I've tried the Image capture also and they are not appearing on there. I think its because I deleted them off my Iphoto thinking I was no longer going to be using my Mac Desktop Since I had just bought my MacBook.

    The only way to do this is using third-party software like phoneview. I'm not aware of any free software that will do this.

  • I have a photo PDF slide show in an email. How do I get the photos into my camera roll on iPad ?

    I have a photo slide show PDF file in an email. How to I transfer the photos in my camera roll on my iPad?

    Well I guess you can press cmd + shift + 3 to take a picture of your whole screen or cmd + shift + 4 to take a picture of a selected area, that will create a file called "screen shot yyyy-mm-dd at hh:mm:ss.jpg" on your desktop then you just select those files and drag them into iPhoto.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhone 3GS to MacBook?

    Please, I need help!!!
    How can I transfer all the pics I have on my iphone 3g s to my macbook?!?!??!?!?!

    You can import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll only.
    With a Mac, this can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process (which are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library) cannot be imported by your computer or transferred in the opposite direction. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.

    My computer was stolen. How do i transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?,

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.  If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy  or CopyTrans.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:

  • How to transfer a few selected pictures I need from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder

    How to transfer a few selected pictures from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to my PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder. Thanks

    You do understand though, that if something happened to your phone - if you lost it, if it were stolen, if you dropped it and were unable to access it, if it got wet - all those pictures that you had not transferred to your computer would no longer be so "handy." Just saying, I have not only read that horror story from many users on this forum, but have seen it live from many users in my own life. Do yourself a favor and back them up sooner rather than later by transferring them all now. Trust me on this, you won't regret it.
