I cannot download pictures from my iphone to my PC.

Anonymous

I cannot download pictures from my iphone to my PC. The PC recognizes itunes and syncs with the iphone. However, the pc does not recognize the iphone as an external device (i.e. camera). Therefore, I do not see the iphone under the computer as a device options. Also, I checked the settings on autoload and they are correct, however the PC still does not recognize nor does it autoload the Iphone. I spoke with apple tech support and they said it is not a problem with the iphone but instead it is a problem with Microsoft. can you please help me?

Hi Byron R.

Thank you for using Microsoft Answers Forums!

1. Were you able to download pictures from Iphone earlier?

2. Any recent changes made on your computer?

3. Are you getting any error while downloading pictures?

You may try this method.

If you click start and within the start search type auto play you then should see auto play populate under programs select auto play.

Once in Auto play scroll down to Devices and see if you see your Iphone within devices click the drop down box and set to import pictures using windows then click ok then plug you Iphone and see if it lets you import.

Also if you want it to ask you what action you want to take whenever you plug in your Iphone just select "ask me every time" from the Auto play.

The Iphone will not transfer photos to your computer if the device is locked and you are using a pass code. If you want to transfer photos, simply unlock (Slide to unlock and enter pass code) your device to transfer photos.

Note: Plug the Iphone to your computer in unlocked mode.

For more information on importing pictures refer to this link:

This was very helpful, especially the part about unlocking the phone. That was my problem.

I am having a similar issue. I need to save the photos that I didn't take too. There are many pictures of my grandson that I need to save that have been off FB or from texts from my son. The error message I get is "The specified module could not be found." This never happened to me before no matter where the pictures came from. Apple support has been unable to help and they referred me here. I need to do a restore on my phone but I cant until I save my pictures. Can you help me please?

I tried everything that was posted on how to fix it, nothing from any of it.

I finally got it to work by going into "Devices/Printers" opening the USB port information, and running the troubleshoot function. It simply said it may have stopped working and started showing up again in "My Computer".
