I have been trying to move most of my photos from my iPhone to my Win 11 PC. First, File explorer does not see plugged in iphone. iTunes for windows does not see it either. I know the cords are working. I then downloaded and installed the Apple Device App for windows. It also does not see the phone. Most, if not all, of my photos are in iCloud, but I want to clear it by moving to a storage disk on my PC. So far, I have over 12,000 photos and 4,000 videos. What do I need to do to get the PC to recognize my ios devices?

I decided to connect my iPad to my PC and it seems to be working.

“Simple Transfer Pro”

This is a free app that you place on your iPhone and install an app on your computer to “directly” transfer photos or videos, wirelessly.
Brilliant in my opinion.

  • You can transfer your photos or videos from your iPhone to your computer wirelessly
  • You can transfer photos or videos from your computer to your iPhone wirelessly
  • Does not transfer your photos via any other server. Only straight from your phone to your PC
The only in-app purchase is the “Photo Cleaner” (listed below) but I have never had a need for it. You can remove photos and videos from your iPhone in your Photos App.

I have thought about using an app, but the problem is that, though the phone is wifi, the PC is wired ethernet. Not sure if that will work.

Click to expand...

Go for it (y)

The apps will search for each other and should be found.

The app needs to be open on the iPhone, the app needs to be open on the PC, at the same time.

I figured it wouldn't work. My iPhone is on a wireless network and my PC is on another network, ethernet hard wired.
