Old Boggy Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 For some reason my phone has prevented me from importing current photos to my PC. This appears to have happened in the new year. I have googled for an explanation and hopefully a solution but all advice is far too technical for my Neolithic brain. I think that it may have something to do with iCloud (whatever that is). I thought that it had something to do with my PC (Windows 7) but it seems to work OK transferring photos from my iPad to PC, so assume it is the phone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but please keep it in simple layman’s terms as anything too technical could be lost in the translation. Normally I would get one of my Grandsons to sort it out for me but lockdown has made this impossible. Many thanks for any ‘easy to follow’ replies.

Tried that thanks, but cannot get the photo configured correctly. Either comes out as gobbledegook or a massive image.

Old Boggy Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Not sure what I`ve done but it seems to have been resolved. I normally open -: Computer Apple iphone Internal storage DCIM and then 100 Apple appears, which doesn`t show current photos (beyond 2020) It now opens another file folder alongside 100 Apple called `101 Apple` which shows all current photos. Haven`t clue why but my problem appears to have been resolved. Many thanks for your replies anyway.
