Note: my iPhone 5s is running on iOS 7.0.1.
Before I went on vacation several weeks ago, I tried to get pictures off my iPhone 5s to clear space. On my old BlackBerry you could easily plug it in via USB and drag and drop off pictures. I tried to do the same with my iPhone 5s on a PC running Windows XP but it would not recognize the phone in Windows Explorer, although it would recognize it in iTunes. My phone asked me via pop-up notification if I wanted to trust the computer and I accepted, but no matter what I tried it would still not show up in Windows Explorer. I emailed myself some pictures and deleted them and said I would try again when I got back.
Using the same cable, I just tried on my other PC computer, running Windows 7. Ran into the same problem! It allowed me to charge the phone right away, but didn't ask me if I trust the computer until after 3 unplugs-and-re-plugins. Meanwhile, Windows Explorer and Control Panel recognize Apple Mobile Device USB Driver but not the actual phone. So, I can't update the device drivers. Once again, iTunes on this computer recognizes the iPhone...so why not Windows Explorer?!
I have 30MB of memory left and I desperately need quick access to clear my phone on my PC. Please help!
