That's it. I'm officially pissed off now.
I have nearly 1000 pics and vids on my phone and I cannot get them off. I've tried everything. iTunes, manually opening files, still can't shift them.

So frustrating.

Help?

iPhoto? Or something like Picasa web albums.

Or is it deleting them you're having problems with?

Thanks Soup.
I can easily delete but there are some precious pics that I really want to save. I cannot shift them!

I've tried different Apps but can't seem to shift them. Something like Google pics delete pics as soon as I delete from my phone. This is so frustrating.

I use Picasa Web albums which doesn't seem to delete them if I delete them from my phone.

Or something like Dropbox to move them from phone to PC?

I've give through each pic individually and compared them to what's already been uploaded - they're already on my PC and hadn't been deleted off the phone Blush

So all is well again.....

That said, there is only 1 video clip on my phone now but it takes ages to play - it does that little timer thing for ages before playing. I thought that was happening before because my memory was so full but that's all sorted now! Why does it take so long to play and why do the pics have a timer-thing too before they come into focus?!

i don't think that's to do with how full the phone is, it will be the processor and how much stuff it's trying to do. Or something... ima bit vague on the technical details!

Is it an old phone?

Do you have Facebook? You can upload them to a photo album which you can then set to private so it can only be seen by you. I use this to back up photos Smile

Thanks Soup.
It's an iPhone 5s. I think I've updated it now that I've cleared the memory from all the pics and vids. numpty alert.

User I stay away from FB - I'm bloody useless and I'd be dangerously clueless. Students always hunt down their teachers so I'd end up having the sack if I were on social media!
