Getting Photos off iPhone?
 

So, in the old days, you used to be able to plug the phone into the USB on the computer and it would pop up like a flash drive on the PC.

I currently have Windows 10 and iPhone 7. When I plug in the phone to the USB cord I get a popup on the phone asking to trust the device. After pushing trust it doesn't pop up as external storage in file explorer.

Is this a new thing or am I ****ing something up?

I need to get the pictures off. It's being kind of an asshole and before it catches on fire, I need to get the shit off.

EDIT: I did google it. I ****ing hate iTunes and don't want to use it if I can avoid it. I also tried to import them from the Photos app on W10 and it says there isn't a device to connect to.

If you open “My Computer” there isn’t a drive showing up?

May have to email them to yourself. That might take forever though.

Yeah. It doesn’t show up. **** my life

You need the Apple Mobile Device USB driver in order to get file access. That's included in the iTunes install. You used to be able to download just the device driver without iTunes, but they don't really do that anymore.

Here's a link that says it has a download for it, but I'm not sure how legit it is: http://www.driverscape.com/download/...ice-usb-driver

Safest bet, just install iTunes

I ****ing hate iTunes.

So if I install iTunes it will read it and pop up as an external drive in File Explorer?

Yes. You can always uninstall iTunes later...

For me, no. Or at least I can't view the picture files by clicking on it that way.

Open the Windows Photos app (search if you can't find it) and there should be an import button on the top right. Then tell it to search for a usb device. Make sure your iphone isn't on the lock screen. You might have to download iTunes first as mentioned above.

Yeah. Wouldn’t recognize it. I’ll have to DL iTunes.

Right on.

I’m sure I’m not remembering right but I could swear I uninstalled every apple app off an old computer and it still prompted me for updates constantly. ****ing Apple.

Apple sucks. Get an Android phone.

Yeah, Apple is pretty bad about never removing their software. Much better these days, but some of their old installers were complete shit. Because they insisted on using just about every different type of Windows service option available. .dlls, registry startup items, startup folder items, etc.

Fish is top ten in computer knowledge on CP - Listen to anything he says about PC's and or issues.

also he's a very kind individual - caring and loving.

Racist.
