The iPhone has always been equipped with a high-quality camera and many users enjoy using it as their main camera. But, if you started using an iPhone recently, then you may have difficulty transferring photos to your computer. In this article we will look at two ways to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer.
If you have a computer with a Windows operating system, then transferring photos should not create any problems. On Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 operating systems, the transfer is very simple and intuitive for the user.
In order to transfer photos from iPhone to computer, you first need to connect the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. For example, you can take the USB cable that you use to charge your smartphone, or any other that fits your iPhone. Connect your iPhone to your computer using this cable and wait until the Windows operating system detects the connected device.
Once connected, open the My Computer window. All your drives will be displayed there, as well as connected devices. Find your iPhone here and open it.
After opening the iPhone, you will see a disk called “Internal Storage”. This disk also needs to be opened.
After that, go to the DCIM folder.
And then, go to the 100APPLE folder.
After this, the photos you took on your iPhone will appear in front of you. In order to transfer them from your iPhone to your computer, simply copy them to any folder or to your desktop.
Transfer photos to your Mac OS X computer
If you have a computer with the Mac OS X operating system or, more simply, a Macintosh, then transferring photos from your iPhone to your computer will be a little more difficult. Indeed, in this case, to transfer photos you will need to use the “Image Capture” program.
First of all, connect your iPhone to your computer using a cable. Once your device is connected, the Image Capture program should launch automatically. But, if this does not happen, then you can run this program yourself. You can use the Spotlight search bar to do this. Click on the search icon in the upper right corner of the screen and after the search bar appears, enter the query “Image Capture”. As a result, the system will find the application you need and offer to launch it.
After launching the Image Capture program, you can begin transferring photos from your iPhone to your computer. To do this, pay attention to the left side of the Image Capture program window. The iPhone you connected should appear there; select it with the mouse to start working with its photos.
Next you need to specify the location on your computer where you want it. To do this, use the drop-down list at the bottom of the Image Capture window. In this list, you can select the “Pictures” folder or just the desktop.
After selecting the appropriate folder, you can begin the process of transferring photos. In order to transfer all photos to your computer at once, use the “Import all” button. If you need to transfer only part of the photos, then select the desired photos with the mouse and click on the “Import” button.
It should be noted that Image Capture supports regular drag and drop. Therefore, you can transfer photos simply by dragging them with the mouse from the “Image Capture” window to the folder you need.
Actively using the Apple iPhone during work, users are increasingly faced with the need to dump accumulated information (photos, videos, text and music files, books) onto the computer. By transferring all the data to a PC and saving it there, two problems are solved: the first is to unload the smartphone’s memory from accumulated information, and the second is to ensure the safety of the accumulated data. How to transfer data from iPhone to computer?
The connecting bridge between the iPhone and the computer is iTunes software, which is a platform for storing any files downloaded from the iPhone.
There are different ways to transfer data from iPhone to computer. First, let's find out what the concept of synchronization means - this is the process of transferring data from a portable device to a personal computer and back. Let's consider the first method - the simplest - synchronizing the iPhone and PC via a WI-FI router. The procedure for performing synchronization is suitable for any Apple devices connected to a computer.
In order to carry out any data synchronization from an iPhone to a PC, you need to install the latest version of iTunes software on your computer, which can be downloaded from the official Apple website.
You need to take into account that the iTunes library is a data storage directly connected to the iPhone: by deleting data from iTunes, during subsequent synchronization the same data will be deleted from the iPhone, and if you dumped the files on your PC, the storage will save and restore them on any device in case of data loss from the smartphone. To permanently save a copy of the data from your smartphone, it is better to make a backup.
The iOS 7 program released by the company allows you to transfer data from iPhone to PC using the Internet connection via Wi-Fi. To do this, you need to connect your iPhone to your PC via a USB cable so that they are on the same network.

In the “Settings” of your computer, in the “Overview” section, find the subsection “Sync with this iPhone via WiFi” and check it. From now on, iPhone and PC will be able to synchronize via WI-FI. Don’t forget to connect the smartphone itself to the charger, since when transferring data, the energy-consuming period of time may drag on and the device may unexpectedly discharge, stopping data transfer.
In a similar way, you can transfer all files from iPhone to PC, without using WI-FI via a USB cable. To do this, you can connect two devices with a cable and wait for the name of the connected iPhone to be determined on the computer in the “Devices” section. Then check the box to transfer the amount of information from the proposed list: text files, photographs, videos, programs, etc. If you think it necessary, in principle, you can not select files, but click the “Synchronize all” button. Having decided on the volume of data transfer, to activate the synchronization process, click the “Apply” command button in the lower right corner. The transfer process will start.
Transfer data from iPhone using iCloud

Also make sure that the Internet network is constant and not interrupted, as a sudden network failure can damage the transmission and seriously block the device.
To transfer all files copied to iCloud to your PC, you need to know the password of your iClod and its Apple ID. If you are ready, then turn on your computer and check if there is an Internet connection connected to it. By visiting the official website www.iCloud.com from your PC, enter the password and ID of your iPhone. After authorization, go to the “Contacts” section and select all the stored files needed to transfer to your PC. In the list that opens, you can select a fully saved backup from your iPhone and activate the gear-shaped sign located at the bottom left to save all the data to your computer.
You can then delete the iCloud backup to free up cloud storage space. In turn, files and data copied to a PC can be converted using the vCard format for further transfer to Google for storage.
