I want to thank the person who detailed the procedure for these two methods. I was able to FINALLY import my photos from my iphone to my Lenovo laptop (piece of junk) with the 8.1 OS (also piece of junk). In the future, I will buy an Apple laptop.
8.1 is the worst excuse for an OS I have ever seen, and the procedure above certainly outlines just how non-intuitive and convoluted it really is. Does anyone know how to move these uploaded photos from the Photos app to either a file or better, a file in my “Documents”? I was able to make a new file in the Photos App, but saw no way to move any photos into that file or how to move them anywhere else. They just seem to be stuck in a file entitled with the upload date. Nancy.
Jeff says. Here are a couple of ways to manually import your pictures off your iPhone and onto a Windows 8 computer. Method 1: If, when you plug your phone to your computer and you get a screen that says, ‘There are no files to view” then exit out of the phone app entirely. Return to your Windows Start screen and double-click the app. Now you’ll be back in Photo Library. Out to the right side of the screen right click in the open space.
When you do a tool bar will appear at the bottom and you will click on the import icon. A ‘Choose a device to import’ notification box will appear and select your device that you want pictures exported from. Apple iPhone will scan for media then will give you the ability to select individual photos and import them, or you can you the icon at the bottom of the screen that will select all photos.
When you click the ‘select all’ icon at the bottom another tool bar will appear and display the icon to import files. Click on the import files icon and let the importing begin. Method 2: Navigate your mouse to the bottom right hand corner of your computer screen. A tool bar of commands should appear and click on the ‘setting’ icon. Then click on the ‘control panel’ icon.
Click on ‘hardware and sound’ Then click on ‘autoplay’. Scroll towards the bottom until you see ‘devices’. Under ‘devices’ you should see Apple iPhone and then click on the downward arrow and select ‘import photos and videos (photo)’. Click the save button.
It will then return you to the Hardware and sound window, Before the importing process can begin, you must unlock your phone then connect your phone to your computer. You will be then taken to the Apple iPhone window where all of your pictures from your phone will appear selected with a checkmark in top right corner. At the bottom of your screen you will see the import icon and click on it to begin the importing process. I hope this was helpful.
This is the most confusing ridiculously set up program I have ever dealt wit. Everything is SO different than anything before it, it’s not a learning curve, its a learning deficit. If I had known what trouble this would be, I would have never made this purchase. Even the language is unnecessarily foreign. I have apple phone, tv and ipad, and everything is seamlessly connected.
This laptop is bulky and grouped in all the wrong ways. I cannot upload my photos because the requested resource is in use. What does that even mean?. Someone says.
Finally, someone with the same question as me. I can transfer my photos to PC with ease. My problem is, are there no import options on Win 8? In Win 7, even while the photos were being copied, I could click on import options and choose to delete the photos off of my device, and to rotate pictures to their correct orientation. It seems Win 8 took a step backwards, or hid said options somewhere deep within the software that makes it easier to get a root canal than to have to deal with importing pictures to my PC. Any ideas anyone?
