Windows 10: Unable to view photos after moving from iPhone to Windows PC, (Files are getting corrupted).

Today my mum was trying to copy paste files from her phone to her PC hard drive. It's something that should be a standard operation and something which shouldn't go wrong. My mum use cut in order to clear up space on her phone in the process, of course. Right out of the gate it was acting very strange, taking around 20 minutes to transfer a few hundred photos from an iPhone 3G. Very few of the files were more than 2 megabytes and there were only a few videos. To my surprise, when checking to see if the photos transferred properly, around half of them were not viewable by Windows Photo Viewer. At first I thought it may be a problem with the iPhone's file format, however there were many pictures of the same format which were viewable. When I looked deeper, it showed that all of the corrupted photos where 613MB. Yes, 613 megabytes. When opening these files in a hex editor I saw 613MB's worth of 00 bytes, as well as a header that was either overwritten by the 00s or completely corrupted. The phone was connected by USB the entire time during the transfer and continued to be connected just fine afterwards. Now the photos, as far as I'm aware, are irrecoverable. If anyone has had this problem and actually recovered their photos I would love some help, but absolutely no file repair programs are working (not surprising, given the extent of Microsoft's idiocy) and I have not found anyone with the same problem anywhere on the internet.



Thanks,


Christos

iPhone Photos import to Windows 10 PC not working

I would like to troubleshoot my inability to import photos from iPhone to Windows 10. I am an advanced user struggling to find relevant help on the internet since most results are unusable masked adverts for paid third party software.

I want to use it the following way

1. connect iPhone via USB to my Windows 10 PC
   
2. open Microsoft "Photos" app
   
3. click in the upper right on import > add from the device over USB
   
4. select all photos and click import
   

4th step is where it fails, with no usable message.

• I have set the device as trusted on iPhone
  
• I mostly don't see it in My Computer, therefore I cannot just copy
  
• I tried uninstalling every driver and iTunes software
  
• Despite not being visible in Windows Explorer, iTunes can always access the contents with no issue
  
• it has a tiny moments when it starts working, but overall import fails sooner or later and never copies all 3k photos. Mostly MSPhotos don't show any content, just failure message, sometimes it shows it's content and acts as I can select what to import, but as described fails sooner or later
  
• iTunes can successfully copy entire phone.
  
  Other attempts
  
• I tried multiple free 3rd party SW, all of them either failed or seemed like to be usable only after buying their extended version
  
• I tried using iTunes for Syncing the Photos
  
  • I maybe don't know how to use it, or it is faulty too. But I've set the directory where my Photos should be synced, but sync seems to just backup the phone and creates tiny 'Photo Database file', but no photo actually gets copied onto PC.
