After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You can't import photo or video content synced from iTunes.
When importing photos and videos from your device to a Windows computer, some photos and videos may appear to be rotated incorrectly. Some third-party photo-management software for Windows displays iOS photos with the correct orientation without having to rotate the images. To play videos on your computer at the correct orientation, use iTunes for Windows.
Windows XP might not be able to import videos larger than 500MB without iTunes installed, a third-party program, or updated drivers.
