Why All of The Photos on Your iPhone Don’t Show up on Your PC or Mac
Damn you Apple and your voodoo magic!
So a friend of my wife asked me why the 13,000 or so photos on her iPhone 5S didn’t all show up when she connected her phone to her computer. In looking into the problem I actually found I suffered from a similar issue; my phone says that I have 505 photos stored but when I connect it to my PC and try and transfer them over only about 35 photos were showing in the Photos app on my Mac.
After a bit of a search online I found some forum posts that described this actual problem and it turns out there are two seperate issues that can cause this.
