Windows 10: Photos sync?

I load my photos from my camera to OneDrive on my pc, but can’t see them on One Drive on my other devices?
I have a ipad and Iphone and want to be able to sync my photos instead i have a bunch here and there and everywere!
I think there has to be a way if they are all backed up to the cloud to see them?

Syncing photos

My computer will no longer sync photos. I followed the steps supplied in the suggested fixes - no luck. The last suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall but my computer doesn't find my phone... instead, it finds a scanning device that I don't have. Any
suggestions?

 

Error while syncing photos to the computer

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get to the root cause of the issue, we will need a few more information from you. Please reply with the following details:

• Which application are you using to sync the photos?
  
• Were you able to sync the photos earlier?
  

If you are using iTunes to sync the photos to the computer, I suggest you to refer the section
Import to your PC from the article provided by Apple
Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to import the photos to the computer.



For more information, you can also refer the section Sync your photos manually with iTunes
from the article
Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all of your devices.



If you are using Photos app to sync the photos, I suggest you to refer the sections
Importing photos from a iPhone and Using the Photos app and iPhone
from the article
Complete Guide to Importing Your Photos in Windows 10 created by Andre Da Costa.



If you are trying to import over thousands of photos at a time and receiving the error, then I suggest you to import the photos in
batches of 400-500. As few of our customers were able to fix the issue by importing the photos in batches instead of importing all of them at a time.



You can also try giving the permissions to Photos folder and see if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + E, to open
   File Explorer.
   
2. Click on This PC on the left pane.
   
3. Right click on the Pictures folder and select
   Properties.
   
4. Go to Security tab and click on
   Edit.
   
5. Click on your name from the list of users and check
   Full Control under Allow.
   
6. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
