Pictures from computer back on to iPhone

[davieh3350]

I put my pictures from the old iPhone I had, onto the computer I use for my tech drawing (it's not connected to the web) Does anyone know how to get them back on to another iphone so I can post them on here?

Hate crApple and all their complexities, but ...

If you were logged in to your apple account on the original phone, don't you just log in on your new phone for everything to synch again??

I think the pictures were only on the phone... Not sure if they ever went to iCloud

I could probably put them on to a cd and then email them to myself from the neighbours computer.

You have to use Itunes to transfer them. You can copy and paste or drag and drop from phone to PC but not the other way around... It's Apple protecting their ecosystem. One of the prime reasons I refuse to buy or use their software or hardware. Meanwhile with android you can move stuff back and forth to your hearts content just using windows.

Yea.. Wouldn't ever go an buy a new one. Cheapy second hand ones here. Good camera and internet are the only reasons I've got one.
I will put them on a cd and go visit the neighbours

That bugs me too, of course the advantage of the Apple protected ecosystem is that it is almost immune from malicious damage... windows on the other hand we just spent 2 days rebuilding a windows virtual server after it got attacked

I thought servers were designed to be hardened against this? Their operating systems are more bare bones no?

That was our thinking too... but we discovered it had been compromised with multiple trogans, remote access tools and ransomeware... not what we expected from a bare bones machine with no incoming emails or web browsing, these where almost certainly infections introduced though open ports.

The other option is to upload them all to iCloud, and then your phone could download them again. Probably a simpler way round it.

You can get an sd card adapter that fits the iphone. It's supposed to be for importing photos off cameras etc but will work if you get the photos on the sd card from the computer.

Yes and it works an absolute treat. Everything is totally synced. Login to iCloud across devices and photos, all documents, notes, email accounts, basically everything is seamleslly sync’d across devices.

Windows is an absolute abortion of a thing in comparison and Android....well its aright if you must

Hmmm - then why has the initial question been asked??

Put on flicker with computer then log on with phone and upload !

Probably because the computer in the OP (doesn’t identify what it is) isn’t connected to the internet (possibly any network for that matter) so pretty hard to sync in this case.

Anyhow...putting all Apple grudges to one side for a moment, if OP is able to load iTunes onto the computer in question he should be able to synchronise photos on that computer with a connected/authenticated iPhone directly by synchronising over USB connection.

Post #3 he says they were never synced to iCloud.

 

[milkloss]

Is it not possible to set the phone to sync with a specific folder using iTunes?

 

[v12cat]

Used this for years. Works fine.

There is categorically no way on Earth I will ever sync the contents of so much as my pencil case with Apple, much less my phone or PC.

Windows is absolutely no trouble for me to run and it manages itself. If I was that loathe to use it I would simply run a Linux Distro, which has come on in leaps and bounds and is so flexible you can run it from a flashdrive these days if you want.

Apple hardware is certainly not that great and their software is just a pain in the arris.

It’s a good thing we’re all different
