Well, while I was in London, I bought iPhone4 directly from the Apple. I have my own opinion about this phone, and will write an article about that, but now I want to talk about the other things.
My main task was JUST COPY photos from my iPhone4 to XP. Peace of cake, right? Well…. the problem was that I frequently use 3G internet, and am limited to 1GB per month. ( I know, I know… but this is mobile Internet… ) So I DOD NOT wanted to use iTunes, because:
- I don’t want to download 100MB just to copy images…
- My 3G connection is limited.
- I wanted as simple solution as possible.
So… I found another solution. There is a usb driver for XP to recognize iPhone as camera. iPhone4 USB driver for windows XP.
Download the file, extract the driver to windows/system32/drivers, and that’s all. I just don’t remember, it a reboot needs to be done.
But now XP recognized my iPhone4, and added device as camera. So I could and still can copy photos/movies without any additional resources.
If you XP already detects your iPhone as unknown device, just select update driver.
I hope this will help for somebody as well, as I’ve been looking for such a solution for a while.
