Photos unable to import photos from iPhone
I'm trying to copy photos from my phone to my Windows10 (1803) desktop, but photos gets stuck with an "error". Of course the "More info" button just takes me to the online Windows help showing me how to do what I'm already doing. It's MS's special version of "help". I managed to copy over about 200 of the 4000+ photos, but now it steadfastly refuses to import any more. Anyone know to get past this? |

Using a USB cable? Are you using Windows/File Manager on the PC to pull the files from the phone or some app on the phone to push the files to the PC? What does "steadfastly refuses" mean? Just what does the "error" message say? Are you copying to a OneDrive folder on your PC? Microsoft may limit the number of files that you can upload each month. There is also a max quota (cloud storage), and maybe you exceeded what you have. Freebie accounts start with only 5GB of cloud storage space. You get more if you subscribe to Office 365, or you buy more cloud space. If you use a File Manager on your phone, was is the total size of all the photo files you are trying to transfer? |

There are many "third party" transfer tools. Look at "IOTransfer 3" and "EaseUS MobiMover" as examples -- Zaidy036 |

Open Photos on computer. Picture that you just took is already there. Tada!! -- [ ] Safeguard this message - it is an important historical document. [ ] Delete after reading -- Subversive Literature.

Using a USB cable? Are you using Windows/File Manager on the PC to pull the files from the phone or some app on the phone to push the files to the PC? Sorry I wasn't clear. With USB cable and via the MS Photos app's import function. It detects the phone fine and previews the photos for import which I selected all of. The first attempt worked for the first 200 or so images. What does "steadfastly refuses" mean? Just what does the "error" message say? The message is simply "Something went wrong" with retry and cancel buttons. Are you copying to a OneDrive folder on your PC? No. Photos imports to the Pictures folder in the current users home directory. If you use a File Manager on your phone, was is the total size of all the photo files you are trying to transfer? I gave up on Photos and just used the file manager. |

Still no idea why Photos choked. |

I gave up on Photos and just used the file manager. That's what I had assumed you used when you asked here. Sounds like you hit a maximum photos per album quota. Looks like that app has had many problems, like: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...2-81b597fc4358 If you want a photo viewer/manager, maybe you should look at a program instead of an app. XnViewer [Classic] and IrfanView both run on Win10. Some folks like FastStone Image Viewer which says it is also Win10 compatible. |

Using the Photos app is Apple's recommended way. After trying the Photos app, then the phone's images showed up on file explorer. Not sure if there's a reason for that.

There is an application for Android and iPhone. I guess the desktop is supposed to scan the QR code ? https://www.dpreview.com/news/142346...rtphones-to-pc https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/gara...tos-companion/ One other thing I was thinking, was maybe the Photo app is limited by the notion of integration with OneDrive storage, even if you aren't using OneDrive. It's possible free OneDrive storage is 15GB. Paul |

It seems Windows Live Essentials Photo Gallery finally hit the buffers here with Win10 18.03. Can't install it. Pity as its (or was) far and away the best photo organiser out there. Making do with PicaJet. |

It requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network. My desktop is not connected via Wi-Fi. One other thing I was thinking, was maybe the Photo app is limited by the notion of integration with OneDrive storage, even if you aren't using OneDrive. It's possible free OneDrive storage is 15GB. I doubt it. It was only ~200 photos, nowhere near 15gig. |
