iPhone Photo Question

[rlongnt]

I never mess to much with iCloud. I just plug my phone cord into a USB port on the pc, it comes up after reading the device as a drive. Then I drag and drop to the local pc's C drive/folder. There's more than one way to skin a cat"..........might give that a shot.

I failed to mention that my wife never set up her own Apple ID and had been using mine, so that’s where the problem was. Thanks for everyone’s help!

I've had many mechanical hard drives fail, never a memory stick, but my experience may differ from yours. Cheap enough to buy two for backup.

If you use it enough, it will fail. The process of writing data to them is inherently destructive.

I know it is apple, that is what we use too. BUT get google photos, its free and unlimited. Get the app on your phone and it will back up all your photos and can access them from anywhere, your computer...etc. and you can search for certain pictures easily, and faces easily.
You wont be sorry.
