Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's take a look at the process of transferring iPhone photos to a Windows PC.

Stay tuned.

Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech. I am Micah Sargent, And today we're taking a look at, I feel, a very interesting question. One that you may have come across before or one that you may have heard about. And so let's take a look at what we've got here. So we have a question in from Wayne, who writes, my wife wanted to copy the pictures and some of the mistaken movies to her PC.

1,088 items there were, and she was told that eight items couldn't be copied.

I have no idea what those items are, but in checking on the items that were copied about half,

do not have a visible image, either JPEG or MOV, many of those seem to have a size that is

comparable to those that are visible.

Some of the files are small, less than 500 kilobytes.

Those don't seem to have a visible image.

Is there a gizmo that anyone can recommend that can copy pictures off of an iPhone?

I've seen ads on such a gadget, but I was skeptical of its viability. Do you have any advice?

Is this Apple not playing nice with Microsoft, vice versa, or some of each?

All right.

So there's the question, and here is the answer.

First and foremost, I want to just discourage the use of a gizmo for this.

It doesn't require a gizmo.

It doesn't require a gadget.

There are some out there.

Some of them are fine, but really you don't need any of this extra stuff to make this happen.

You ask, is Apple not playing nice with Microsoft, vice versa, or some of each?

This isn't about being deliberately difficult.
