Title: Computer not uploading iphone pictures
Post by: Salix on May 11, 2014, 01:50:46 AM
Just got an iPhone a few months ago.  Didn't get the new one, I went for a cheap iPhone 4.  It was great, took some great pictures and uploaded them onto my PC.  Took some more pictures and... the computer doesn't seem to recognize there's any pictures.  It knows there is an phone connected, the wizard opens and says there aren't any pictures on my phone.  Also my phone will repeatedly ask if it can trust the computer.  After saying trust for the 15th time I give up.
I have yet to send pictures by way of FB (some pictures are private... might have to make a dummy account to send it via FB), just seems to be too much trouble.  I've tried different USB ports too.

I have an Dell Inspiron 530 running windows XP.  I don't know what other specifics you need.

It just seems weird it would work one day and not the next.

Immediate problems:

Don't ever use the wizard. Go to My Computer and look for some sort of portable drive.

Is iTunes installed so you have the driver installed to make the iPhone fully readable?

The pictures should be inside of a "DCIM" folder.

If you don't want to use the computer, get a photo bucket app and upload them from your phone. Make private photos private, easy.

Thanks!  Worked when I installed itunes.  Not sure why it worked before the first time without itunes.  Maybe I changed a setting.
I'm gettin' old, confused by the new technology.  You kids and your saggy pants and your hippity-hop music.

Are you serious? I hate most of everything new that keeps coming out, I don't even listen to the radio anymore or watch TV.

What is this "TV" you speak of?
