Hello guys, welcome back to Tenorshare channel.
Today I’m gonna talk about how to fix iPhone DCIM folder not showing up on your PC.
As you can see, I’ve got some photos on my iPhone.
Looks pretty good, and I’d like to transfer them to my windows 10 computer.
So I connect the iPhone to my computer with a lightning cable.
It’s supposed to be here on my computer, but it doesn’t appear even when you click
refresh.
Or some of you may find out that even you see the iPhone device icon, but when you click
on it and get into the DCIM folder, there is nothing you can find.
Hold on a second, before we start the tutorial, I hope you guys can like this video and subscribe

That would be a great help for us.
Thank you!
So the first solution is to check if your photos are downloaded from iCloud or not.
If you’ve turned on iCloud photo on your iPhone, Apple will automatically upload all
the photos to iCloud.
And only keeps the thumbnails for you to make a enough storage on iPhone.
So what you need to do is to tap on the photo you need to transfer.
As you can see.
There is an exclamation mark on the bottom right corner, which means the photo hasn’t
been downloaded to your iPhone yet.
So I’m gonna tap edit on the upper right corner, then iPhone will start downloading
the original photo.
Let’s try another one.
Also tap edit, and wait for the downloading.
Okay, now let’s reconnect it to the computer to see what will happen.
Okay, the iPhone icon shows up.
Click on it.
And get in to the DCIM folder.
So as you can see, this time, the photos will show up.
If you haven’t tried this method before and you are an iCloud user, then you should
give it a shot!
Okay, so some of you may wondering, I’m not an iCloud user, but my iPhone is still
not be recognized.
What should I do?
Then maybe you just untrusted the computer when you connect the iPhone before.
So here comes the second solution.
Reset your iPhone location and privacy.
First, unplug your iPhone.
Then go to settings, and general, scroll down, and tap reset.
Here we choose the last option, reset location and privacy.
No worry, this won’t cause any changes on your iPhone.
So tap on it, and reset settings.
Then reconnect the iPhone to your computer.
This time you can see the pop up window asking you to trust this computer.
So we tap on trust.
Later on your computer, the iPhone will be recognized.
Let’s get into the DCIM folder.
And yes, this time you can find all your photos here.
If you have tried to reset location and privacy on your iPhone but still nothing there.
Then you can consider using iCarefone to transfer your photos.
