[Ham-Computers] Moveing Photos From I-Phone To Local Computer

[Robert Downs]

Well, I held my breath and plugged the charging cord into a USB port on the
front of my tower.  Win 10 announced that it saw the phone and did some sort
of setup.  As long as the USB cord was plugged in, there was an icon for the
iPhone, and a little hunt'n pecking showed what purported to be a drive of
some sort with about 4.9 GB available.  But a couple of cursory attempts to
copy a file to it didn't work.  And I couldn't find any sign of files or
photos.  So I sent a text back asking that the photos be re-sent to my email
address.  Which will solve the problem.  At least I did confirm that the
cords I have are charge and data, for whatever that might ever be worth.
:-)  Thanks for the various responses.

I have very little experience or positive things to say about apple 
products for this very reason, among others.

I know of only one way, which is via itunes. It goes on your computer 
and phone (might be there already) and they sync. Unless you use linux, 
in which case no software exists. The phone will send it to 'the cloud', 
where it will be available to your computer, thus transferred. I was 
told there might be other ways, so you might want to do a search for 
them (duckduckgo.com, not google, which tracks everything).

In my experience, you cannot hook the phone directly to a computer 
because apple doesn't like people accessing their filesystems. This is 
possible on android. Won't hurt to try, though.
