    You use the lightning USB port on the bottom of the phone. You can also transfer with wifi, but that takes a little more initial effort.

    Did you allow access to the data. Check the iPhone, unlock the screen and allow access in the popup of the iPhone OS.

    Why do I see a message that says "No photos found" when there are photos?
    Community Answer
    I had that problem, even after I clicked "Trust this computer" on my iPhone's pop-up window. The only thing that solved it was opening up iTunes on my laptop with my phone synced to it. I was then able to import photos using the Windows Photo app.

    Shift key + "A" key should select all the items at once. To double check, in the upper right corner of the photo page, there should be an indicator showing how many are selected.

    Why are not all the photos showing up on my iPhone?

    Try unplugging the USB cable and plug it in again. After that, more photos should show up. Repeat as often as needed until all photos show up.
