IPHONE help please.

Quick question, my iphone says i have 1600 pics but i can only see about half that amount, all my latest (last 12 months or so) are there but none before that. Anyone have any idea how i can view my older pics? thanks.

use dropbox......it willl scour your device for pics and upload them into its folder.....provided you have a big enough storage. Also, you could use iTunes and even Windows (raw folder view). Finally, they should be available via the cloud.

Sorry, what's Dropbox? How do I get them out of the cloud?

Dropbox

Its an online storage service, its free.

I imagine you would up the app on your phone ( when on wifi or data )and download the pics.

DCFC79 is right. You basically login to dropbox on both your iPhone and Computer (with the iphone connected to the computer) whereby dropbox basically authorises/recognises both devices and syncs them......it looks for photos for example on both devices and then uploads them to the dropbox folder (keeping the photos in sync). So if you then take a photo on your computer's webcam for example it will upload it to the dropbox folder automatically. Then whenever you login to your iphone's dropbox again the photos will be viewable on your iphone. The reverse is also true - if you take a photo with the iphone it will be uploaded to the dropbox folder whereby it can later been seen on the computer (by logging into the dropbox account there).
