Transfer Photos from iPhone to computer
You can easily transfer Photos from your iPhone to your computer, the process is very similar whether you are on a Mac or PC. Regardless of what OS you are using, you’ll need your iPhone, the included USB cable, and a computer to plug it into.
Transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac
The easiest way to transfer pictures from your iPhone to your Mac is through Preview
- Plug your iPhone into your Mac
- Launch Preview
- From the File menu navigate down and select “Import from iPhone…”
- Select “Import All” to get all the pictures, otherwise individually select pictures and click ‘Import’
- Look in your ~/Pictures/ folder for the photos from your iPhone
You can also transfer pictures to your Mac with iPhoto or Image Capture, which is just as easy.
Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC
On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer, but there’s two ways to go about this:
- Plugin your iPhone to the computer without iTunes running
- Wait for a popup asking you what you want to do with the device
- Select “View Content”
- Find your photos through the folders that are displayed
- Copy in Windows as usual
If your iPhone is already plugged into your PC, you can try this method:
- Plugin your iPhone to your PC
- Open “My Computer”
- Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
- Open iPhone to find your Photos
- Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/paste them into the desired location on your PC
The Windows approach treats the iPhone more like a file system, but if you feel like it you can also use your favorite photo importing application to pull the pictures from the device as well.
You can also sync your photos using just iTunes on either Mac OS or Windows but that is more for iPhone backup purposes.
Why would you not just drag & drop from the iPhone ?
Best advice I get from here was…MAKE SURE IPHONE IS UNLOCKED..yay it was easy after that
THANK YOU SO MUCH… I was trying for AGES and it did not work until I read your wonderful bit of advice. Voila it has now worked! Thanks again
YES!! unlocked. Great advice.
Transferring photos to a Mac is transferring photos to a PC. Get it right people.
Rich get it right you knob,
PC represents intel to most people.
you goose.
PC still stands for personal computer. So both Mac and Windows are PCs. Rich got it right. The rest of you just don’t get it!
WHAT A NERD HAHA……………………
You’re an idiot.
So you would think. But I think if you ever call your MAC a PC, the MAC purist is going to kill you.
hahaha thats funny. and true
so true
lol thankkzzzzz was really helpful
No, rich got it wrong. Consider Mac’s own advertising campaign against all non mac machines… they’re referred to as PC’s…! Even Mac makes the distinction between itself and pc’s… I think we all comprehend the fact that the acronym “PC” literally stands for “personal computer”, however, in the portion of the public sphere that is not stupid, we who have normal reasoning capabilities are able to connect the dots between the usage of the term “PC” and its correlation to non-mac computers.
jus’ sayin…
“we who have normal reasoning capabilities are able to connect the dots between the usage of the term “PC” and its correlation to non-mac computers. ”
F you,
If I made a car called dyorkisamoron, then advertised it as “It’s not a car, it’s a dyorkisamoron” it would still be a car. A Mac uses the same components as any other personal computer, it does the same thing as any other personal computer, and it is, by definition, a personal computer.
Of course Apple wants us to think of their machine as a category for itself, it makes it sound way more exclusive. If you tell me that you’ve bought a new mac, then I’ll know that it sure wasn’t Asus. If you tell me that you’ve bought a new PC, I’ll wonder if it was an Apple machine, or an Acer machine, etc. A PC can run MacOS, Windows, Linux, or it can have no OS at all. A PC can be big as a fridge, or fit in your pocket.
So it is not only technically that mac is a PC – we who actually know what we’re talking about use the term PC for any PC, because it is a PC.
Just like a potato is a potato,
and the Bamberg potato is one of the many different types of potatoes.
You are one of the millions of people who got trapped in Steve’s Reality Distortion Field!
Jenna = wrong
A Mac is NOT a PC.
Not even Apple refer to their products as PC and male the distinction in all their comparative marketing.
Apple Macintosh originated from different hardware and was always incompatible by design. The term PC was coined when IBM Personal Computers and their clones were available. At no time was the term PC ever used in reference to an Apple product because it was not IBM Compatible. You cannot simply start referring to an Apple as a PC now that it has an Intel chipset or because it is a personal computer.
That’s just stupid.
then why do the MAC official commercials say this is mac and this is a PC, just saying OFFICIALLY they are different according to APPLE so im going with what they say OFFICIALLY not anyone spouting comments
Most new Macs have Intel Core processors…
Actually, Macs have intel chips as well, and many “PCs” use AMD chips. The common view is that “PC” means either anything not Mac OS based OR anything Windows based, depending on who you ask. But technically, Macs ARE PCs if you use the literal translation of the term.
You are not from around here are you?

IT IS YOU VINIE, WHO ARE STUPID!
A PC means Personal Computer… it is a computer built around a microprocessor for use by an individual, as in an office or at home or school or anywhere else a person would want to use it. A MAC is not an exemption to this…
it uses the same specs as of any pc in the world… the only difference is the program or software(OS) that runs it…. MORON!
Wat a dik
A Mac is a computer. Any other kind of “computer” is a piece of trash.
wtf do u know?!
Snow Leopard, that is quite the unsupported opinion you are spewing. I feel as though the inclusion of your opinion here is completely unhelpful in this situation. I’m sure many people would prefer if you would just keep your uninformed opinion to yourself, seeing as your complete ignorance is distracting to those trying to work towards a solution. Please just continue beating off to a picture of a half-eaten apple, since that seems to be what you enjoy doing (given the wording of your opinion, of course).
you have a right to your opinion, but not the right to push it on others.
If you were of an age to remember, you would know that Apple INVENTED personal computers with the Apples I & II. However, coming late to the game, IBM launched their offering and called it the IBM PC (notice the capitalization!) Of course, it was meant to denote that they had invented the personal computer (notice the UNcapitalization). Since then anything (and I do mean anything) that followed the same open (wide open) architecture, has taken on the hybrid name Personal Computer (note the capitalization).
When Steve acquired the rights from Xerox to adapt the desktop analogy to personal computers, Apple called them Macintoshes (or Macs) so that no one would mistake them for PCs with all their shortcomings, as YOU did.
Bill Gates and MS, as they have always done, then copied a good thing, the desktop analogy to create Windows. This saved the PC world from imploding to the superior Macs.
But any idiot that insists that a Mac is a Personal Computer is just WRONG. Certainly a Mac is a personal computer, in fact more so than any Windows machine… they are as impersonal as any device can be.
This is what I’ve been doing for years. Super fast and efficient.
They need to build upon this program and integrate it with itunes to make photo files able to be transfered both ways.
Kindof like how you can see your pages and apps in itunes, they really need to make a desktop viewer of your iphone’s photos. Drag and drop into albums, create albums, etc. Expecting people to sync through iphoto or build folders and sync those is seriously absurd.
That should be their next major priority, not a iOS update, but a serious overhaul in how you manage its files with itunes.
Amen Brother. I havent had an Iphone long and was surprised that is not a part of ITunes. Thank you for saying!
Does anyone know if the Preview import also works for transferring HD videos from the iphone4?
I haven’t tried it for iPhone 4 yet but both Preview and Image Capture will download the movies from 3GS
Yes, Preview can import HD videos from the iPhone.
i want to be able to just select specfic photos from my iphone on to my desktop of my powerbook , how the hell can i do that , before i lose my mind . I have to keep importing all photos , cus thats the only option that comes up …wtf
On my iPhone(4) The import all button isn’t there. I’m trying to import about 600 pictures and I can’t highlight them all. On image capture it just stops and says a number. eg. 534 remaining. Please help!!!
just press ctrl + A
thanks for sharing this! I couldn’t figure out how to do…
Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know you could use Preview. iPhoto and Image Capture stopped working for me because I had too many pictures in my Camera Roll.
One important thing to note- make sure your iphone is unlocked when connecting to the PC. When it’s locked, computer won’t recognize it, even though the iphone will be charging.
This is a VERY important note! lol … thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this
Agreed, couldn’t see my iphone until I unlocked it. Excellent, thanks!
Diana, that is called genius you have smart brain! great help thanks.
thank you i just figured it out. make sure that it is unlocked! haha thanks
)
Thanks. You saved my life!!! I was trying for hours to copy some photos from my iPhone to the computer and the computer wouldn’t recognize the iPhone until I unlocked it.
thanks Diana. your tip really did it for me. i couldn’t figure why my iphone was invisible to the PC
@Diana
Thank you very much . This information help lot of ppl even I was tryed couple of days but failed bc My phone was unlocked & try but not working.
Thanks a lot for your kind information sharing.
Thanks again
Thumbs up for Diana !!
I happened to stumble upon this ‘solution’ when I was doing something else (checking the songs on my iPh’ I think) and a pop-up appeared and ‘spilled the beans’. So I thought : “WTF? maybe that goes for the photo’s too… and Eureka!”
I wonder how many people get stuck just because of this (lack of) information ?? Quite hillarious actually, except for those who can’t find it…
Goes to show… usually it’s not the one you pay that helps you the most!
ILY
thank you for a really helpful tip.
this was incredibly helpful.. thanks for sharing!
I’m able to import all photos directly from my iPhone 4 camera roll previously, but not anymore. Unlocking my iPhone & connecting to my PC isn’t helping also. Only iTunes indicates the connection now only, but not the desktop auto-wizard & My Computer folder. Why?
I was able to get the scanner and camera wizard to appear, but it says that I don’t have any images on my camera. I obviously do. Does anyone have a suggestion for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Transferring photos from iPhone to computer:
I tried this method and it works!
Connect iPhone to computer
Start > Programs > iPhone Configuration utility > iPhone Configuration utility
Select ‘Provisioning Profiles’
Click ‘Add’ on the top right corner.
It will open up a new window:
> select ‘Computer’ icon on the right
> under Portable devices: double click on your iPhone name
You will see ‘Internal Storage’ > double click on it
> you will see the folder ‘DCIM’ > double click on it
> you will then see the folder ‘800AAAAA’ (note: not sure if your folder’s name is the same but it should be fine even if name is different)
> Under ‘Files of type:’ select All files
double click on the folder ‘800AAAAA’, you will see all the photos on the iPhone
> Copy and paste to where you wish to store the pics.
Hope that helps.

I have an iPhone 4 and am using a virtualized desktop (no laptop, no desktop, just a thin client). I’ve connected my phone to the Wyse thin client, and opened Windows to download photos from my iPhone, but cannot see the photos anywhere. Are the instructions below for someone using a Mac or PC? If a PC, I should be able to follow these instrucitons on my thin client but I don’t see “iphone configuration utility.” Can anyone help me download these 200 photos? Windows tells me there are no photos on the phone but I see them clear as day.
Thanks so much – Never took the time to learn how to get the photos from the iphone to the mac. It’s so easy, a very big DUR moment
again thanks for sharing.
my home PC has died with all my personal photos…they are synched to my iphone…anyone know how i can copy all photos (not just those from my cameral roll) from my iphone to another PC that is authorized under my itunes account?
Hi just out of curiosity, i was wondering if anyone got back to you on this, as exactly the same thing happened to me, and i don’t want to lose the pics in the albums on my phone. I can get the pics from the camera roll no problem, but can’t seem to get the albums.
same here ! Please let me know if u cud figure out a solution for transferring the (not just the camera roll) albums to ur pc from iphone !!
Try using DiskAid. You can you use it for free for 14 days. then you can youtube on how to transfer. I did it with my music. They tell you step by step and I am telling you I had no issues at all.
I can’t download my pics what so ever. I don’t have mac and I am using windows 2000…I think.
PLEASE help! I have over 3ooo pics, help!!!
i have 3gs. i have windows 7. when i plug iphone into pc.. nothing happens except that it says my driver isn’t installed properly.. my friend gave me this pc.. i don’t know why this error comes up.. but if i wan to i can open and use itunes with no problem..
when i look through explorer i can’t find the iphone anywhere.. it’s plugged it.. it’s charging.. why can’t i locate it..
i want to take pics off the iphone.. please advise. thanks.
what if nothing appears on : My computer??
Wow, thanks for this tip. I usually import into iPhoto and leave them on my iPhone. I never thought to look in Preview to do this. Over the years, I’ve accumulated photos I no longer want and using Preview to delete them is quick and easy. If you open the camera roll on the phone while using Preview to delete, you can watch them disappear.
thank u … very easy..
This was REALLY helpful! thanks guys ! (:
thank you so much, been trying to transfer my pics for so long and its so easy when you know how. Diana that tip was amazing, reconnected whilst the phone was unlocked and bish bash bosh…. done
Thanks Diana
You are brilliant.
Thanks for your tip Diane to unlock the iphone4 first before plugging to pc. This solved my problem on why I could not see my iphone in my pc.
ok i have a problem.. my iphone is plugged in bt my computer doesnt have afile for it.. where else or what other method can i use to tranfer my pictures to the computer??
The ‘import all’ feature flat out does not work on my preview. It reads the iPhone just fine but it only imports one image at at time, and it eliminates the file name forcing me to create a name for the document rather than using the existing IMG_000.JPG name the file already had.
how to unlock iphone?
Thank you so much, I am new to the iphone and this is good information.
Much appreciated.
C.
thank you so much diana…i wasn’t able 2 copy d pics unless i read ur tip…really thanks
Thanks! It worked perfectly and i was able to upload all 750 photos is 2 minutes.
When I imported the pics and video from my iphone 4 to my laptop, all of the videos flipped to their side– thus making watching them less than enjoyable… They were taken right side up — I swear… Anyone know what I can do to flip them back to up & down?!
I can’t download my pics. I have thousands of pics in my iphone but when connected to my pc, it has nothing on it. Help!
O another thing, it says ‘no new pictures or videos found’. But I have lots of pictures and videos and some of those are new too, i.e. never been downloaded before. Thanks.
Can’t believe how HARD Apple has made it for us to do something so simple.
I was able to transfer photos easily from a phone to a computer 5 YEARS ago! No hassles.
It’s 2011 ….. Why are they making it so difficult???
I have an iphone 4 & a mac g5.
There is no import from iphone in the preview menu.
Help, please.
I have Windows 7. Open Windows Explorer then ->computer then ->iPhone. RIGHT CLICK on iPhone and choose “import pictures”. Then a pop up box will appear and give you the option to erase them from your phone after copying to computer. What a backwards way to import them. Apple needs to fix this.
Super Easy. Plug iphone into pc, click on my computer, right click on iphone, select import photos. Saves photos to Windows Photo Gallery. This was an iphone4 to Windows Vista
Hello Everyone,
I don’t know if anyone can help, but I have a few questions:
1. I have a 3GS I-phone that isn’t connected to a subscript ion and I would like to download my pictures. Is it impossible or must I have a subscription?
2. When I plugged in my 3GS I-phone, my computer doesn’t recognize the I-phone. Is there anyway of getting around this?
3. Diana (see above) indicated that you must unlock the phone but did not indicate how you unlock it. Can you tell me how its done? (When I click on start and try to find my phone, it shows everything except my camera (I-phone). What gives?
4. When I type quickly on my laptop, my cursor jumps to another field (area) on the computer. Is it case sensitive or is there something that I’m doing (clicking on a comma, for example) that activates another command? It is quite frustrating because I cannot type as fast as I’d like because I find out later that my cursor is on another sentence.
Thanks,
SVL
Dear SVL
I also have a 3G Iphone.
if your computer does not recognize the iphone it is probabably the USB chord that you are using.
Please keep in mind they dont last long. I can not tell you how many times I have had to replace mine, also I keep extra by my laptop.
I have had many issues in the past with my Ipod and Iphone in terms of my computer not recognizing my devices.
Try replacing your USB chord and see if that works. It worked for me.
Good luck darlin.

how to unlock your iphone:

I want to transfer pics form I phone 3 gs to sanding galaxy s 2 help !
I have tried all of these sugestions. I used to pull photos off of my 3G through windows explorer all the time, but none of this has worked on my new i4.
Stupid phone!!!
The iPhone configuration will not even open on my computer. Any other suggestions out there????
I followed these directions provided early on in this set of posts and was able to get my photos off my iphone. However, I had previously deleted photos after “backing up” my iphone through itunes thinking that transferred the photos onto my computer. I cannot find them. So, does this mean that the “backup” is not accessible unless I restore the phone?
what if i synched an album from a friends computer and i now want to access those pics? they arent showing up at all!
HELP!

Thanks very much Diana and dunaskme.
how to unlock your iphone:

that’s the important part to unlock the phone… thank you so much….
my dcim folder in Iphone3 folder is empty when iphone is plugged into pc…
I am becoming extremely bored trolling through arguments, that are basically semantic, in order to have someone confirm an idea i have (wether large or small) is this an age thing? Though i have now strayed from the topic myself now i was feeling desperate to tell you all to leave it out. It is not useful and even less entertaining. We know PC means Personal Computer but we also know that when someone says Mac or PC they dont mean Mac or Toenail, Egg or armchair or any somesuch. Lets get on with it, shall we?
thanks…..very helpful……
I plug in my iPhone to my PC-
There comes a noise acknowledging the connection but I don’t see any symbol in ‘My Computer’ indicating that the iPhone is actually connected!!!
How can I dowload pictures from the iPhone to my PC????? (iTunes can’t help me there either!!!)
i HATE this 3gs. tried all suggestions. computer does not show any sign of iphone. help please.
worked perfectly, Thanks!!
Thanks it did work..
Super cool! Never knew you could import photos with Preview. Thanks a ton!
Thank you, this was extremely easy. I didn’t even needed to finish reading
I just got an I-phone 4 and synched it for the first time to my Mac. I didn’t take the photos from my phone and put in I-tunes, it took the photos on my mac and put on my phone. Now I have 2000 photos on phone that I can’t get rid of. Anyone know how to switch the sync and delete the photos? There is not trashcan with the imported photos…
I am having the SAME problem but I am running windows xp home and dont know how to get them off!!
Just tried it the way suggested, but no preview is showing up in the launch. Do you launch I-tunes? Couldn’t find it there either?
Launch? Sorry don’t understand what you mean. When you connect the iPhone nothing launches. You have to open Preview.
No you don’t open iTunes.
ok, when i go to Preview > file , there isnt an Import photos from iPhone option. am i just stupid, or….?
ps I have 2,755 photos on my 3g iPhone camera roll. i cant even sync an app to my phone. had to delete 50+ pics just to download a song. I cant do anything until i GET THESE STUPID PHOTOS OUT OF MY PHONE. …ugh…
I am running 10.6.8
If you go to Preview > File you should see “Import From Scanner” and “Take Screen Shot”.
The command you are looking for is above these two and on my machine it says: “Import from Steve’s…” where “Steve’s” is the name of my iPhone.
I did notice that prior to connecting the iPhone it was greyed out and said “Import From Camera…” so I would suggest that if it still says that after you connect your Iphone it is a connection issue.
I had the same problem. I made sure to have itunes closed when I plugged in my iphone and the option showed up.
Thank you!! This was so much help =D
On my iPhone 4 I have around 14,000 photos and now I would like to get them copies/transferred to my new iMac computer. Due to earlier copying/importing to another PC about 11,000 of the photos are filed in “albums” on my iPhone and those photos are not visible on neither my iMac or Windows PC, so I can’t transfer them. Help!
(only the about 3000 photos on the “camera roll” can be found and transferred to the iMac and Windows PC).
Thanks
Thank you!! Wow, that was easy!!! Why doesn’t Apple tell us these things?????!!!

Ive always connected usb cable from ipod touch to Win 7 to copy off photos, but today when i did it, it shows the original 520 photos, but doesnt show the most recent 30 at all as if they dont exist, yet they do exist on the itouch and work perfectly. What could be happening? Anyone have this problem? What is the fix? Ive been testing and it seems that NO NEW photos added to my itouch can be copied off ever again. Really sad. Im starting to hate Apple. Any suggestions?

This might work for some of you running windows 7 / 64, Start>open devices and printers, right click for properties of either of (Apple iPhone) under Devices or (Apple Mobile) under Unspecified, Hardware>properties>Driver>Uninstall then replug your iPhone/USB and let the driver install alone, worked for me…. good luck to you all
Thanks JJ- That finally fixed my problem of not being able to see the pictures in the folder even though I could see the iphone itself!
Thanks J.J.
Finally working!!!!
You people must be having fun with this non-issue. You either have a Mac PC or a Windows PC or even a Linux PC. Get it ?????????????????????
I agree this is a non-issue, and I agree that a Mac is a type of PC. However, nobody ever actually SAYS “a Mac PC” do they? And the common usage of “PC” to mean “PC which is not a Mac” has probably earned the status of secondary definition by now.
Thanks for the info. It was very helpful.
Too bad you have to put up with all the fools on this site.
Thanks! Very helpful!!! LOVE MACS! make life so easy
OMG! I was petrified about saving my photos! You are a lifesaver. Now if iTunes would just stop syncing genius data for my purchase transfers, I could complete the process.
Thank you again!
Hi there, which version of preview is what u put up the screen shot of`?
i Have version 4.2 (469.5)

Thank you for the tip!
Thanks
It is helpful !
My issue is I have a windows xp home edition and before I wiped my computer I took all the photos and added them to my iphone now I am trying to take them off and I cant! I need to update my iphone and cant do it or it will wipe all my photo’s!!! So when I go into my photos on my iphone 4 there are 2 albums one from when I imported the pics from my computer called photo library and the other one holds the pics from what I take from my phone called camera roll. It made 2 separate folders in my one photo album. HELP! I need to get off 3391 photos from my phone!
Thanks!!!! This was a great help!
I have an iPhone, and a Mac. I’m trying to get my photos off my iPhone. I’ve tried your directions in Preview three times already. Nothing happens after I select all my photos, and click import. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m getting kind of frustrated with Apple, seems like they often sacrifice the functionality of their products for look. Why the hell is it so hard to get my photos off of my phone?
You sure you didn’t already import them and they’re in your Pictures folder?
Use iPhoto – it will recognize your phone, select all or some of the photos you want to transfer and hit import button. Preview did not work for me either.
thanks for the helpful post. this was so much easier to understand and do than some of the other advice out there for photo imports from an iphone to any computer.
thank you for the help i’ve recently got an iphone and it’s the first time i’m using one
Your guidance is very helpful. This is the best advice on the net.
How to import the photos from other albums(not camera roll)?
Jeez, all you turds debating what a PC is or isn’t are just well… turds and while its a good laugh it takes away from what this post was meant for and that is to help people. Get a life!
Thanks for the advice(: worked great!
And P.S. For all you who think you’re so smart and can argue and call people names over the dang web, hiding behind a computer screen, you’re all stupid. Let’s think about this and grow up.
has anyone found out how to get pictures from photo library onto pc??? i can do camera roll but not library
MAC: My Actual Computer

Yet another endorsement for the Mac’s greatest and most unsung app.. Preview!
It says ‘ no pictures found on this devise’, any idea what to do? I definitely have pics there
Wow. Finally able to move my pictures off. That was way too difficult. Well okay only minorly difficult, but it should be simple. And still most of the phots are rotated the wrong way.
Thanks Apple.
PS Apples are pc not PC. No matter what the fanboys say.
To get in on the debate on the use of the term PC. I realize that PC stands for Personal Computer. But it actually is short for IBM PC, which was a specific brand. Unlike Apple (Mac), which was proprietary, IBM opened up it’s technology and therefore there were IBM PC-compatible computers, which was shortened to PC-compatible, then to PC. So based on the history of the term, that is why a PC & a Mac are actually considered 2 different things.
Everyone here has been putting in their two cents about these terms. Here are the facts. Macs are easy to use. They are for people who are stupid. PC’s are for smart people.
Those are the facts.
OK- have tried as directed (to copy photos on iphone from PC) but when opening IPhone file from a PC – the file displayed nothing – nothing in file… no photos, etc… although I have 300 photos on iphone.
Do I need to change a setting on the iphone?
Have taken the advice and when the photos folder opens it only shows photos i have taken with my phone and not the other photos i transferred onto my phone after a recent laptop crash.
How do i transfer those to my laptop?.
