Old iPhone3 - need help getting photos off of it

I have an old iPhone3 that has been decommissioned, so it does not have cell service but can access email via wireless network. It has photos that I want to save off of it on to my computer. My computer via USB, does not see it but iTunes does. It has an old iOS on it so it keeps wanting to update the iOS. I tried backing it up but it does not seem to back up anything as it takes less than 5 seconds to back up 14 gig of music and photos. When I tried to use the back up file to transfer the photos, the file was empty.
How do I get my photos?
I don't want to sync and lose all of those photos because I get the warning that it will lose everything. So how do I get my computer to see the photos? The computer does not give me an auto-start option to configure in the settings because it does not SEE the phone as existing.

Are the photos in your camera roll or your photo library? photos in the photo library album where already synced and have to be unsunc they cannot be deleted. photos in your camera roll can be imported. if your using a windows computer connect to the computer and clickimprot pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard in the autoplay box. if autoplay doesn't pop up u can go to my computer and right click on your device and select improt pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard.
aperature or iphoto can be used with OSX
also your phone does not need to be recognized by itunes to import pictures.  If your computer as well does not recognize your phone that is a different story

  • I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

  • Need to get photos off old imac ruby

    I found my old Ruby and realized there are images on there that I need to get off. How do I do that? I tried to stick in cd...but Ruby spits it out. Help? Thanks!

    You could use a USB external drive, or probably a USB flash drive. Both would need to be formatted for Mac, as +Mac OS Extended+ (also called HFS+). Copy off the files and then connect the drive to the MacBook. Since the old iMac only has USB 1.1, so it will be slow, but it should work.
    The other way is to connect the iMac to your MacBook using an Ethernet cable. If it has Mac OS 9, it should work. Try following the steps show here
    http://main.system7today.com/articles/tutorials/osxfilesharing.html
    It is for the even older System 7, but it should work the same way with Mac OS 9. Note: You must connect from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, not the other way.
    Then, on the iMac, copy the files from the iMac's hard drive to the MacBook.

  • E56 screen broken - need help getting number off p...

    I hope someone can help me. The screen on my E65 has broken and I need to get the number off the phone before sending it to be repaired. Without a screen I am flying blind so have no idea what keys I need to be pressing.
    I have tried connecting the phone to my PC with PC Suite but the PC software doesn't recognise the the phone has been connected. Is there something I need to do on the phone to complete the connection?
    The other way to get the number would be to copy them from the phone memory to the SIM. Can anyone tell me the key presses I need to do to achieve that?
    Help gratefully received.
    ...Neil

    When you connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable, a list if connection mode options normally appears on your phone display. You need to select  "Pc Suite". What you could do is plug in phone to usb, select. If that doesn;t work, disconnect, reconnect scroll down one and select again. Keep trying until it finally connects to PCSuite. There are only 4-5 options so you won;t have to try that many times.

  • Need help getting audio off of a dvd...

    [You can skip this paragraph if you don't need the backstory.]
    So, for several weeks I've been trying to get some audio off of a DVD of mine and into a simple mp3 file. A couple days ago I found and followed this guide, and thought I had succeeded. But after a while I realized that the file I got does not play nice with my handheld mp3 player, or mpd, or mplayer, or anything whatsoever that is not gstreamer-based. MPD goes especially berserk - after playing the file, it can no longer play anything else until I reboot (yes reboot - restarting mpd doesn't fix anything). I should also mention that I'm aware that the guide is not 100% correct; I followed the advice and corrections of some commentors there too.
    Anyways, I guess I need to ask for help with this. How would you go about getting audio off of a DVD?

    I usually use the following command to rip a music dvd to wav:
    OUTPUTDIR="/Some/Rip/Dir"
    TITLE=2
    FIRST_CHAPTER=1
    LAST_CHAPTER=13
    CHAPTER=$FIRST_CHAPTER
    AUDIO_ID=128
    echo "Ripping Audio..."
    while [ $CHAPTER -le $LAST_CHAPTER ]; do
    let NO=$CHAPTER
    mplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd1 dvd://$TITLE -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:waveheader:file=$OUTPUTDIR/track$NO.wav -af lavcresample=44100 -aid $AUDIO_ID -chapter $CHAPTER-$CHAPTER
    let CHAPTER=CHAPTER+1
    done
    Resampling to 44100 is important since most mp3 players cannot handle 48000.
    Then I have another little script that converts it to flac, sets the correct tags, and finally converts the flac to oggs as well..

  • I need to get photos off my iphone using itunes, PLEASE READ AND HELP

    okay, I have pics on my iphone that need off and i can't use my phone, i need to use itunes. how do i do it, ive tried and can't see a remove photos button. it says to deselect a box and hit remove photos, where is that?

    If these photos were synced then you need to connect your phone to iTunes, select the phone under devices and then the photos tab. Deselect photos or albums you want to remove.
    If these photos were taken on the phone then you need to delete on your phone. Go to your camera roll and you will see an icon in the top right (a square with an arrow), select and then choose the photos and hit delete

  • Replaced hard drive: need helping getting songs off ipod to itunes

    I recently had to send my computer into apple for repair, needless to say they had to replace my hard drive so i lost all of my music. However it is still on my ipod, so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer it from my ipod to my computer

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Need to get photos OFF of 30GB iPod Photo onto Windows XP computer

    I recently used my iPod camera connector to store about 200 pictures on my iPod. Now I need to copy them to my computer. I cannot get the files to transfer. They don't show up when I view my iPod as a disc drive (I could see "roll 2" "roll 3" but there was nothing behind the folder). I read on other posts to change my ipod settings on itunes to "disc mode" but I have been unable to figure out how to do that.
    I would prefer not to use outside software, so if you have solutions that don't require any, I would like to hear those first.
    Thank you for the help!

  • New Hard Drive on old iMac - need help getting Admin rights

    My iMac hard drive finally crashed & I had to get a new one. The Apple Store did great at saving my files & programs, but I didn't know there had been a password set up originally (more than one person used this computer) and now I can't use some of my software already installed.  It also won't allow me to re-install it, without a password.
    How do I change my Administrator Password in order to enable me to install new photo software?  The system won't allow me to use some of my own programs at this point.  I have OS X Lion and the Support information claims I can go to Users & Groups and just click on my Apple ID somehow, but I can't get it unlocked to begin with.  What do I do??

  • Need help getting music off ipod

    I used to have 2 libraries on my itunes (mine & hubby's). Now it only shows hubby's music library - no classical. How do I get the missing music that is on my ipod back in the itunes library so I can sync my new ipod and get all the music?

    You will need a third-party utility such as Pod To Mac, Disk Aid, or Phone Disk - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Need help getting photo/video software?

    I just got a Sony DSC-H55 camera.  With having a nicer camera now I want to do more with it.  My old camera I was very linited on what it could do.  This new one shoot at 1080P, has nice zoom, and 14mp.
    I am looking for some software that I can use for editing pictures and video.
    These are my laptop specs.

    Stink I can not afford to build nice systems right now.
    I go to a lot of car meets and do a lot of our door events.  That is what my camera is used for most.  When I shoot video it will be a lot at the track.
    I am thinking of either Roxio 2011, PhotoPlus X3/Movie Plus X3 Bundle, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 & Adobe Premiere Elements 8.  I just do not want to open the software and find out my laptop can not handle it.
    Adobe is first on my list.  I want to make sure my laptop can handle it.  I just wish I could find a trail verson.

  • Help getting photos off iPad...

    Hello.
    I have saved many photos on my iPad from facebook and other places through safari. My problem is that when I sync, iTunes says that iPad is synced with another library and wants to delete all my iPad photos before sync. I have only synced my iPad with my MacBook. No others.
    How do I save all my iPad photos so I can let iTunes fix this problem by erasing everything? Wish I could log into iPad with Finder and copy everything before I lose it.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Scott

    Try this. Connect your iPad to your MacBook. Launch Image Capture (in the Applications folder). It should recognize you iPad and hopefully you'll be able to transfer your photos too.

  • Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

    I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.
