Thread: Probably not a new Apple question.

If this has been answered before ....... and I have a feeling it probably has been .... then please forgive me.

iphone5s . 16gb of memory ..... and I've filled it with a couple of videos on holiday. So now I can't take any more pictures .

Can I take these videos and in fact all the music and photos out of the iphone and store them in my run-of-the-mill dead ordinary laptop which is not an Apple ?.
It's just a Windows 10 Acer .

Can I do this ? And at the same time leave my phone cleaned out ? And if so - how do I do it ?

I've tried . Honestly I've tried . And it's sending me insane .


Fucking Apple !

Hi Wasp,
I just usually go to an Apple Store, you could go online and book a time with the Genius Bar.Free.
The can show you how to do this or book for a free 1 hour Iphone course.

Apple staff are usually very helpful and friendly ..

Cheers

The best place to get support for Apple products.

When you need a hardware repair, you can make a reservation at the Genius Bar. For software or services, get help even faster by phone or chat.

Its not as bad as it once was when you needed iTunes to be able to do it.

Simply plug your iPhone into any PC, Make sure your iphone is turned on and unlocked with password and find your iTard device on your computer, drag and drop all your photos into pictures or wherever you want on the pc. Then delete all the pics off your phone.

To delete photos in bulk......

launch the Photos app, navigate to the Moments screen, tap Select at the top-right of the screen, and then tap the Select link next to each batch of images you want to delete. Tap the Trash button in the bottom-right corner, confirm that you want to remove the images, and they'll be deleted

Thanks for that.

You hardly need to be fukkin Einstein to work a bloody iTard product.

And there are no 'genius' bars in Thailand

Learn to use the information superhighway you fukkin morons

Apple (United Kingdom) Retail Store - Genius Bar

As Wasp is in the UK..He would have access to a Genius Bar..(Apple Store..not Pub)
So I did use the Superhighway..

Dill is right on the money.

I used to have to do this process everyday before class... I'd save my worksheets, flash-cards, lesson plans, songs, games, etc... to my notebook - then have to transfer (through itunes) all those files to my ipad...

I bit tiresome, but I go used to it... sure, android is an open system, so you can offload your pics/goat porn oopss.. vids.. straight to another device (like a thumb drive basically)...

However, the software (here we go) is not as polished as apples.. i.e. more lag, glitches and poor ram management... don't wana start a flame war iphone vs android... just my observation/opinion.

Long story short.. yup, you must use itunes to connect to your device first, before you can transfer anything to/from laptop...

Exception being, if you wana get sneaky and use bluetooth to transfer files... that would only work well with smaller MP3 (audio files) not huge Mp4 video files, of course...

Oh, one more thing.. sometimes windows won't play nice and recognize your Ipad/Iphone once connected... disable your anti-virus, it can detect itunes as malware.. just a tip.

Just watched the first youtube video Baldrick posted..easy to do ...thanks for that..

Haven't watched the videos yet but am about to .

I did read up on the net and got lots of advice saying use iTunes . Then found I couldn't download iTunes . No idea why .Maybe a 32bit laptop is difficult ?

And people saying use Windows Photo Gallery . So I goes to Windows Photo Gallery and it says I need Windows Essentials - which won't load .

I just hate Apple.

^ Jai yen yen bro... (cool heart)...

Both Apple/Android have their own peculiar niggles, etc...

Once you suss it out - it'll be 2nd nature...

Hi Wasp, just watch the first Youtube clip..the drag queen one..if you follow instructions..you won't need Itunes..if you can post a picture on here , you can do that..

Well you're right biff and thank you baldrick .

It worked absolutely fine .

Thing is I always forget about Youtube .
I ask questions on the internet and get back written replies but I always forget there will probably be a Youtube video for the simple-minded such as I .

Problem I think is solved.

That certainly explains EVERYTHING .

So glad you could stop by Dillinger.

Hey Wasp..did you get your Iphone photo's sorted out?

Just wondering..

In the end I found that all the photos were also stored automatically in Dropbox .

So I accessed Dropbox on a laptop .
Downloaded 2400 photos and videos to the laptop's Download Folder .

Opened that folder and moved them all by dragging them all to the Desktop .

Then sent them from the Desktop to an external Hard Drive .

.... and went back to Dropbox and deleted everything in there .

Tedious .

There are probably simpler solutions . But it worked so I am contented with that .
There's a limit to how much I want to understand about technology . Just doesn't interest me enough .
