For example, i. Tunes once gave users the option to display arrows beside the selected songs title, artist, album, and genre that link directly to the i. Tunes Store. These arrows are no longer removable, except through the direct editing of a preferences file. Tunes keeps track of songs by creating a virtual library, allowing users to access and edit a songs attributes. These attributes, known as metadata, are stored in a binary library file called i. Tunes Library, which uses a proprietary file format ITL. It caches information like artist and genre from the audio formats tag capabilities the ID3 tag, for example and stores i. Tunes specific information like play count and rating. Tunes typically reads library data only from this file. A second file can also be created if users activate a preference the i.

Access the DCIM folder on your i. Phone. I am updating this article for the first time since 2. I get a lot of requests for help on this particular topic. The original article now crossed out below is 6 years old and likely doesnt apply to newer model i. Phones. Now then, with that bit out of the way, heres some updated information about DCIM folders and accessing pictures on your i. Phone using a PC running Windows in 2. There are a few important distinctions that should be understood The Photos App on i. OS shows an aggregate of images from both your phones camera roll and pictures stored in the i. Cloud. That means not all the photos you see in your Photos app may actually be on your phone. When using the Photos App, there is no easy way to determine whether a specific photo is located on the devices camera roll or in the i. Cloud. So theres no easy way to find out which of your Photos are on the device vs. Cloud. If youve turned on i. Cloud Photo Library and Optimize i. Phone Storage, then your phone may not store many photos on its camera roll at all. Optimize i. Phone Storage is a space saving feature in i. OS which works by taking photos on the camera roll, optimizing them, uploading them to the i. Cloud and then deleting them from the phones camera roll to free up space. This occurs silently in the background when your device is connected to Wifi. Now then, accessing the camera roll or DCIM folder on your Apple i. Phone 5, 6 or 7 running i. OS 1. 0 or higher from a Windows PC requires the following You will need to install i. Tunes first. Installing i. Tunes will also install the drivers necessary for your Windows 7, 8 or 1. PC to recognize the i. Phone hardware when connected to the computer. Your phone will need to be unlocked when connected to your PC in order for you to be able to access it from your PC. So if youve got a passcode or lock code, enter the code to unlock, then connect the device. The first time you connect your phone to any computer, on the i. Phones screen youll be asked if you want to trust this device the connected computer. If you do not select Trust, your PC will not be allowed to access your phones storage including your DCIM folder. If at any point you accidentally selected Dont Trust, you must reset your trusted devices before proceeding. To do this, unplug your phone, go to Settings General Reset Reset Location Privacy. After resetting go back to Step 3. Once your i. Phone is unlocked and connected to your PC using an Apple lightning cable, you should hear audible sounds indicating that youve connected a USB device to your computer. Once your i. Phone has been recognized by your PC and properly configured may take a few moments, you will see the following item under This PC. You may also see a notification asking you what to do with the newly connected device. Double clicking the device yields the following structure where folders named 1. APPLE contain images on your camera roll and folders named 1. CLOUD contain images downloaded from the i. Cloud to your phone. Ok, so now youve copied all the pictures from the DCIM folder to your PC and youre finding that there seem to be some pictures youve definitely seen in your Photos app missing from the ones you copied. Heres what could have happened. Those additional photos may not have been cached on your i. Phone and may only exist in the i. Cloud. This would allow you to see them in the Photos app but would explain why they are not in the set of pictures you copied from the i. Phones DCIM folder to your PC. To get these i. Cloud photos, one option is to install the i. Cloud for Windows tool. This tool allows you to sync all your i. Cloud photos to your windows PC without having to ever connect your phone. NOTE It may be a good idea to ensure that your computer has enough space for all the photos in your i. Cloud first. Hope it helps. When you plug an i. Phone into a Windows VISTA7 computer, it should recognize it as a camera device even if you dont have i. Tunes installed. This can be useful if you just want to transfer some of your pictures quickly off of the i. Phone without installing i. Tunes and syncing and all that. If your screen locks on the i. Phone, however, and if it was locked while you plugged it into your computer, then the DCIM folder that typically contains all the pictures on your camera roll will be empty security. Heres how to your pictures step 1 Unplug your i. Phone from the USB port. Unlock your i. Phone screen. Plug your i. Phone back into the USB port and open the Camera DCIM folder using explorer. NOTE your images are now visible.
