Hi everyone, my name is Kevin. Today I want to show you how you can transfer photos and
videos from your iPhone to your Windows 10 PC. It's actually pretty easy to do,
and I'm going to walk you through how to do that today. All right well let's jump into it.
So, I have a whole bunch of photos on my phone.
I went to the Museum of Flight yesterday with my son yesterday and I want to take
these photos from my phone and put them on my computer. So how do I go about doing that?
Well, I'm going to show you three different techniques to do it. The first one uses the
photos app that comes with Windows 10. The second technique uses File Explorer,
and then the third technique is something that you could just do in the cloud, which is using
the Google Photos app. All right, well let's run through the three different techniques.
So, the first technique using the Windows Photo app. So, what I need to do first is
I have my iPhone here and I need to plug it into my computer. So,
I have this lightning cable. It's already plugged into my computer and my USB port,
and so I'm going to go ahead and plug it into my computer,
and now I get a message on my computer screen here that says Apple iPhone select to choose what
happens with this device, and so on the screen, you'll see that I have a few different options.
I have one that says import photos and videos, and then I have other ones, you know, open device
to view files, and what I want to do is first we're going to look at the photos and videos app.
I'm going to go ahead and click on this using the photos app.
I'm going to go ahead and click on that and so what's happening
now is the app is looking for all the photos on the device.
Now the nice thing is the Photos app comes inbox as part of Windows 10.
That means if you have Windows 10 on your computer, you also have access to the Photos app,
and so here it looks like it found a whole bunch of photos, so I'm going to unselect
all, and what we're going to do is, I'm just going to import a few of these, so
let's just import all the photos from my trip yesterday to the Museum of Flight.
So, I'm going to bring them all in, and what I'm going to do now,
is I'm going to click on import selected. OK, so now it's importing all the images,
and it looks like it brought them in automatically.
So, here we are with the 787 in the background. Here's a picture of me and my son in front of
one of the original Boeing 747s, and then here we are in the loading bay of the Space Shuttle.
So, kind of a few kind of fun photos, and what I could do then is I could edit these photos.
Let's say I want to crop, add filter, effects, let's say I share the photos, so there's a lot
that I could do with it. You could bring in photos, you can bring in videos. Any of that
works using the Photos app. So, that's probably the easiest way to import photos to your computer.
Now I want to show another technique too.
I'm going to close out the Photos app, and this is something that will work if you're
also on an older version of Windows, so maybe you don't have the Photos app,
so I'm going to actually just unplug the phone and then we're going to plug that back in here.
Once again I get this dialog and instead of clicking on the import photos and videos using
the Photos app, what I want to do is I want to open the device to view files using File Explorer.
So, I'm going to go ahead and click on that,
and so what you'll see now is it's on the it's selected on the iPhone. Here if I look on the
left-hand side, I see that device is selected, and I'll go ahead and click on the internal storage.
There's this folder called DCIM, that's where the iPhone stores all the photos. Another folder,
click into that one. And then once I click in, I see all my photos and all my videos on the device.
So, what I could do is I'm going to go ahead and just make this window a little bit smaller
and so I could actually go through and I could just select files and then I can
right click to copy and then let's say I just want to put in my on my desktop.
I could right click and paste and here all the photos are also on my PC now as well.
So, there’s a picture of my son and here's a picture of him again at the Museum of Flight.
So very simple to copy and then paste photos on your computer using File Explorer.
The Photos app is probably the easiest. File Explorer is a little more detailed because you
have to choose where you want to place the photo. So, the third technique that I want
to talk through is using Google Photos to get photos onto your computer. So how do you do that?
Well, the first thing is you need to go to the App Store, and you need to install the
Google Photos app, so simply click on App Store and then search for Google Photos. Once you
have Google Photos installed, you'll see an app icon on your phone that's called Google Photos.
I'm going to go ahead and click on that, and what will happen now is once the app opens,
it'll identify all the photos that are on my phone. So here it's looking at all the photos
and you see that it's synchronizing or backing up with Google Photos.
So, it's going through and it's backing up the 20 photos. And while that's happening,
what I could do now is on my desktop I'm going to open up my browser and I'm going to navigate
to photos.google.com, and now I'm going to just refresh this page and you'll see that
all these photos from the Museum of Flight are now showing up on my photos.google.com.
And so what I could do is I could either view them right here on my computer
or what I could do is I could hit that checkbox and I could even select multiple images,
and if I click on this ... in the top right-hand corner, I could then click on download.
So, I'm going to go ahead and download these and what that did now is it downloaded a zip file with
all my photos. Now the nice thing about using Google Photos is not only do you get a backup
on Google or in the cloud, but you don't have to hook up a cord with your computer. As long
as you have Wi-Fi or if you just have cellular data, you could load up the Google Photos app,
it'll upload it to Google Photos and then you could get it on your PC, and you can download
it to your computer or you can just leave it in the cloud. The Google Photos technique,
that's my favorite, just because you get that back up and it's pretty easy. You don't have to
kind of get this clunky cord and hook it up to your computer, so all-in-all, pretty easy.
Those are three different techniques how you could take photos that are on your iPhone and then you
could transfer them to your computer, whether it's a photo, whether it's a video, so all-in-all,
it's pretty easy. Hopefully this quick tutorial was helpful, and you've learned how to transfer
