How to Transfer Photos, Videos & Music Between iPhone & Windows PC | No iTunes or iCloud

[@KevinStratvert]

➡ You can also use iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, etc. to automatically sync your iPhone/iPad files with your Windows PC. The method covered in this video allows you to sync directly from your iOS device directly to your PC without needing a cloud storage provider, iTunes, third party software, a clunky cable, or a subscription. This works especially well for large files, like lots of photos & videos, that you want to transfer to your PC or to your iPhone/iPad.

[@michaell7877]

What software did you use to put the iPhone on the screen?

[@michaell7877]

Can you make a video on how you did that?

[@ilevasseur_designer]

It works! ... The photos from Iphone are in a HEIc format so I had to buy an extention to read it on my computer... Do you have other suggestions?

[@cmdrbozo]

I'm locked out of using those other options on my work phone for security reasons, but what you described worked perfectly!

[@danialhakimi4631]

Why does everything with iPhone have to be so complicated? On android, I literally connect my cable to my PC and it opens up all my files without any process or 3rd party app, this is so stupid, I might just go back to using my android.

[@Random-xj5mj]

I hear you bro. IPhone is complicated for seemingly no reason. I was an android user; last year, however, I decided to try an iPhone 13 pro for the first time in my life. And man it doesn't even have many simple features that android has, such as locking the screen in landscape orientation. I got so tired of using the iPhone just in a few months that decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. This phone is SOO MUCH better.

[@n26p79]

it does i transferred all of my data with just a cable and a hard drive but the only problem is that it takes an excruciating amount of time to transfer over 100gb of photos and videos from phone to a storage drive

This might be the single most useful video I have seen in 2023. The only thing that was weird for me when going from iphone to PC was if I save the folder directly the the "transfer" folder, nothing would happen on my PC. So the work around was going and finding the server first and saving the file to /server/transfer and then it works perfectly.

Holy crap. I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for you making this, and how well it worked is astonishing to me. I remember the good old days of plugging in your phone to your computer and using itunes to transfer everything, and more recently, I've been backing things up with Google Drive, OneDrive, and other similar programs. But in my line of work, I am constantly transferring files back and forth to various phones and computers, and this is basically instantaneous! You just saved me and countless others a huge amount of time and trouble. Thank you!

[@Tallgrkguy407]

Kevin great tutorial ! Very easy to follow and you did a great job going step by step to make even the novice user able to complete this. The only thing you did forget which admittely is an advanced concern, is that on a home router, typically ip addresses are not static. Which means that each time a device restarts, the router may assign a different address than the last time. It's called Dynamic Allocation. In order to make the IP address specific to the laptop every time, you would have to go into your router's configuration and manually add both the hardware address of the laptop's NIC and the IP address that you would like assigned everytime. This would ensure that your technique would work the same as it did the first time, and the 50th time for that laptop connecting to that network. Now this technique of setting up a static IP address is a little bit more involved and requires the end user knowledge how to configure for their particular router. Some of the other suggestions of using cloud based transfers in the comments are a little more fool proof as they have apps that allows access to sharing of files (which don't involve making changes to router configurations). I have to say...I've used your technique and I do love it.

Great information and it works great! Couple questions and comments: 1. The iphone properties of the files (date created, modified) aren't transferred (even with the option active) and the dates are all the date of transfer to PC. 2. After about 1000 files transferred, the processed froze. 3. Some video mov files were transferred with extension HEVC and aren't playable without a paid codec by Microsoft. None of the above happen with other more common methods to transfer photos to PC. Is there a way around for this great otherwise method?

Now when I transfer the very same video, from the same iphone to the very same PC (even to other PCs) via the same cable, the video file size is half, requires HEVC codec to play and when i downloaded hevc and okayed the video, visual quality is just bad ; bitrate is cut in half, fand file size is half than the previous copy that I had trabsferred many months ago. Also, the good quality copy that shows H.264 on PC , now shows HEVC on the iphone I only have this issue with videos now, not with pics. Inever had had it with videos before. Would you happen to know where this might come from and how to remeditae?

FWIW I double checked that the account is setup on the PC and very carefully and deliberately entered the account name and password on the iPhone. You might want to do a follow up video covering possible errors.

Did you ever solve this problem? I have been having the same issue

[@rhhutchins194]

@@moreperfectpodcast I've slept more than twice since I posted here. I might have forgotten the original question; so if my answer doesn't fit, please make allowances. To transfer files from my iPad or iPhone, I simple connect the Lightning USB cable to the i-device and the other end to the PC. On the PC, I open File Explorer and look for the i-device listed there. I then click on it and go down as many directory/folder layers as needed to locate the file to display it from the i-device. From there it is a simple click and drag operation to whatever location I want. This is what I use to get photos and files from the i-device to the PC; I rarely ever go the other way and don't remember if it works from PC to i-device. HTH

Thank you for the very simple step-by-step!! You've made transferring videos/photos 100x easier for me :)

Kevin your an absolute genius!! After years trying to find an effective way to transfer files/photos from my iphone to a non mac/apple computer/device, like my trusty tough Dell Laptop I have been left frustrated and resentful, but thanks you to you I am now contact as I followed your every instruction and boooom! my photos from iphone now on my Dell, wow! i was the happiest guy ever! So this means I can delete the photos on my iphone now?? I always find your videos easy to listen to, watch, and are the most comprehensive instructive direction I have ever came across online, you have a talent for making very complicated processes extremely easy to follow in a linear manner that I can keep up with! Keep up the great work, all the best to you Kevin, and your family, thank you again!

[@MXVofficial]

Wow, you're the best for making this video. I've been struggling with transferring files from my iPhone for a while and didn't want all the crap that comes with iTunes on my PC, nor a subscription cloud service for such a simple task. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Great job Kevin - worked like a charm and was quite fast transferring 1000 Israel trip photos to Windows 10 laptop. Only difference on the iPhone 10 was the IP address was not under "Save to files" but my IP address was listed with the "Save to Files" option. Thanks again.

Kevin your video on the subject is excellent. But, does it still work? It seems the recent update of IOS have rendered this data transfer method inoperable. I've followed the instructions exactly but after getting IOS 14 and onward on my Ipad, it just doesn't work anymore. I keep getting error message when trying to connect to server. Some online posts state that IOS updates have rendered this impossible.

[@Sashaplaysmusic87]

“Socket is not connected”… I allowed “app through firewall” “file and printer” and all that. Still nothing….

Loved how easy to understand this tutorial was, and I did exactly everything you did but I did it from my pc to my Ipad and the videos won't show, it pops up but it just looks like a white file (still named correctly and everything, it just doesn't show the video or even a "thumbnail" of it like normal files show) any suggestions on how to fix that? I can't even save it to Ipad

[@ChristoVinto]

I have this same issue

[@drjeffff]

Exactly the same issue, and the iPhone also does not give me the "save video" option.

Same issue here. Everything works until the final step: the file appears but greyed out and the share icon doesn't respond. No "save video" option.

[@Xrzgod]

Search for file app in your iphone and then click on the three dots on the right top corner. Then select 2nd option connect to server there you enter you IP address and you might find the folder there

[@LightningEthan]

Absolutely ridiculous that this is the process needed. Connecting a cable would be so much easier, Apple sucks. Anyways nice video

[@svendo123]

Hi Kevin, many thanks for creating this great video. I have a question regarding the instructions you provided. I followed your instructions and was able to upload a folder from my PC to my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The folder contains text files of deleted Notes that I was able to recover. However, I am having trouble figuring out how to add the contents of this folder to one of my existing Notes folders on my iPhone. Whenever I try to do this, I am prompted to "SAVE TO: New Note,". I am not given the option to save to any of my existing Notes folders. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with some guidance on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.

[@rithiksharan]

This was amazing. Wtf wud i have done without this vid. Make a detailed vid for downloading songs on apple music. Ik u have already did it, but i want my albums, artists, and track number tagged as well. I really want the album art to show ass well. Use 3rd party apps if neccessary.

[@cridzongaming]

Thanks Kevin! Also another tip to the other guys, put your transfer folder on your SSD or M.2. Don't put it on your HDD, or else you will wait for a whole day just transferring it. I tried putting it on SSD and the 50GB videos where smooth as butter!

[@deadsetondreams1988]

I want to hug you so freaking much for this, thank you!!!! The other methods I found weren't working. My space was full and I was having to send a maximum of 5-6 photos (20mb) at a time to my e-mail!! Sometimes it was only letting me send 1 at a time. Thanks to you I can finally send more!!!! You are the absolute greatest. I was really wanting to switch back to my Android phone since you can just plug it in and drag the files over with no issues whatsoever. 😭 I'm trying to shuffle everything over to my new external hard drive (since my old one broke) and I needed to send over product listing photography that I have to edit by tomorrow so I was stressed until I found this XD The only thing was I had to annoyingly buy the program to view the photos on my PC because it saved them as HEIC files apparently.

[@SithJaegerGaming-tw3yi]

When using this process does it actually remove the photos from your iPhone or do you have to go back to your phone and delete everything you transferred? everything else I've tried keeps the copy on the phone.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

@@SithJaegerGaming-tw3yi Unfortunately, you do have to separately delete it off the phone using this method too.

I don't usually make comments on videos I watched. But man this is like finding TREASURE CHEST. Thank you so much! I was using USB cord but it always stops transferring files in the middle of the process. But this way cannot be interrupted! Everyone should know about this! I can't thank you enough Sir! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@mikebushert594]

Very cool Kevin. We are long time iPhone, iPad and a Windows PC family. This was a great way to quickly transfer camera SD / PC / iPhone to txt some shots to family. So many options: Been using Google 1, but seriously considering buying an Apple desktop next as a long term solution to organize and move photos and videos between devices.
