Trying to transfer 14,000 videos and images of my sons life from birth until now, using method 2. iPhone, via laptop to hard drive. On failed attempt number 3 now, I think it’s just because it’s such a large number of items. I’d recommend little and often, don’t repeat my mistakes. The stress and anxiety of losing all documentation of your first born isn’t worth it!! Little and often people!
You are so smart, nobody in Apple could help me and all I needed to do was plug the Hard drive into my iPhone wow GENIUS! No more iCloud !!! Waste of money !!
please help me here : when connecting my iphone via usb c, b, and using microsoft photos, or explorer, the pc NEVER displays ALL the pictures/videos contained in the iphone. the funniest is when i unplug and plug again the iphone to the pc, the number of files available from the pc varies. no the issue is not my pc, since i have actually 2, with the same issue. no, the issue is not from the iphone since i have 2 as well (a 13 and a 15) shall i believe the makers are willing to limit access even up to our own data ? as we know, censorship is more than on the groove nowadays. could you help here please ?
Is there any way to download the iCloud Photos straight to your Ext hard drive? I don’t have enough laptop storage lmao. I’m trying to MASS import like… 79k photos and 12k videos. I have a 3tb ext hard drive. I’m fully prepared to leave it all sitting plugged in for a day or two lol.
Does all the Meta info transfer/safe aswell? Can’t believe it’s this easy. I’ve been STRUGGLING to do this. Been downloading from iCloud. Can only do 1000 files at a time.
Um does anyone know for the Icarefone program if you buy the lifetime warranty, and then u have to switch computers ( I’m getting a new pc soon but I really need free space on my phone and other devices ) if you gotta pay for the warranty again? Plus do we gotta use our email that’s used with our Apple ID or can we use a different one? And which setting are good for the vids and photos best quality for windows? I hate being an overthinkerrrr
When doing the method with microsoft photos, is the size and quality of an image changing? when copy and pasting directly from photos to my PC, i notices that the raw 20 MB photos are converted to jpg and quality pass to 2 mb . . . . frustrating . . .
Plug your iPhone directly to the usb c if compatible in that way. Go to photos and hit select… try pinching and zooming out a little … this is the important part as your dragging and highlighting with one finger… double tape the very top of your screen twice so that it jumps to the very top… you’ll then notice everything has been selected … send it to hard drive
Restart your iPhone. Take back up in chunks. Do not try to backup all the photos from your gallery. Example: I had a 4000 photos and videos. I transfer 500 of them at a time with 1st method. If I don’t see save button like you, i restart my iPhone. You have to be little patience. But it works.
One thing about this method is it will copy your live photos as a live video + photo. So you will have the 1 video and 1 photo in your hard disk after transfer for every live photos of you iphone. Use unmodified option, not save to files.
After backup, all the photos will be in heic format. If you’re a windows user then it will be another headache to watch these photos. My advice: Goto iOS settings-> Camera-> Formats Select ‘most compatible’ here. From now on, every new click will save you photos in jpg format. So after 1st method of backup you can watch your precious memories in Windows pc too. Note: But this formate will increase the photos size. Because HEIC formate reduce photo size but jpg takes more size.
@@TheSzyko Go to photos, hit select, use your thumb to select maybe 3-6 photos at the bottom, then while still holding those photos use your finger on your other hand to scroll to the top and all photos will be selected (tap at the top if needed). All that remains is for you to manually select the top 3 or 6 and job done. I said two seconds in my previous comment, it may be like 5-10 in reality. But not long. If you’re having trouble just look for any UA-cam video : how to select all iPhone photos fast or whatever
@@JamesColemanChess ok that one I knew already, but it takes probably 1-2min for me since I always wait until I have 20-30GB of data before I transfer it. Thank you for the quick response, have a great week!
Trying to figure out why it will only let me add to the onedrive one my computer without an option to change the drive only create a new file in the onedrive.
It is fucking irritating how complicated it is to just getting the pictures that I took & OWNED BY ME, off my iPhone - while in Android system you just have to plug into the computer and drag those files into a folder, as simple as that. Steve Jobs had visions - he built the macintosh, redesigned the smartphone, shaping the Apple giant that we see today, all of these revolutionary shits he pulled off, were being fueled by his dream to make everyone's life easier; And here I am, an Apple user who have both iPhone and Mac - still ending up watching this very tutorial on UA-cam, like seriously Apple? Are all these extra steps really necessary ? Godamnit Apple. I already paid for your overpriced electronics and I sat with you through all those hypocrite environmental friendly crusade that you pulled off - why cant you just give us a break?
Hi i am on S24 ultra and am scared to buy iphone because of file transfer ease of use found on samsung with my windows laptop. Can i plug in a iphone 16 pro max to my laptop and just transfer all my pics by using windows explorer?

Hi, the data cable may be damaged. If it is not damaged, please check this official article, hope this could help you. support.apple.com/zh-hk/guide/iphone/iph95baac91f/ios
how come none of these ways worker me, through image capture app on Mac it doesn't transfer everything about 500 items cannot be open after the transfer why is that???
If I buy a hard drive, can I use any device that I find convenient to purchase or should it specify that is compatible with iPhone?😊 cuz some of the hard drives that I’ve found and I like only says “pc, console, windows and Mac ” and idk if it’s going to work in my phone too :(
How can i transfer files to hdd? my iphone 15 can read and copy data from hdd but when i try to paste files from phone to hdd, paste option does not come up
Using method 1: My phone keeps saying unable to download, please check network settings and try again. My phone is close to being out of storage space so I’ve tried clearing up as much as possible but has not worked, can anyone help?
I'm sorry but method 5 is useless if you download over 100 photos at the time... it will take forever, and it loses connection and then you have to do it over and over again just to get 100 photos.... it's not an efficient way to do it. Also, can I do the first method if I have an Iphone 12?

You're welcome 😊
Can you transfer an entire photo album, or do you have to individually select each photo?
After is it still keep the same taken dated?
From my understanding is if you only use it on iCloud unfortunately.

You can select 10,000 photos in two seconds so not sure what you mean by it can take a long time to select them all
How?

Is there a limit on how many photos you can upload at one time when uploading directly from iPhone to files app (by connecting iPhone to hard drive)
do u meant the sofware?

Maybe this is one of the disadvantages of Apple's closed system.
I totally agree what you said. Apple is making photos transfer harder than ever. It’s our own photos and we own iPhone and Mac. 😢😅
