Can't import photos and videos from iPhone to Windows 'Photo acquisition has stopped working' Hi I tried to import photos and videos from my iPhone on to my Windows 8.1 desktop, and keep receiving the message 'Photo acquisition has stopped working' then the window closes. Download; Wallpapers; iPhone Photography. Any synced photos and videos will be permanently deleted from iCloud and Apple won’t be able to bring them back for you. You can transfer your full-resolution photos and videos from iOS’s Photos app to a computer via a USB cable, or wirelessly, using Apple’s AirDrop feature, Dropbox. And, also, if you do have the full-resolution version of the photo on your Mac how to copy that version to a flash drive. It’s not an obvious process and there’s no menu item.

I recently upgraded to a 128 GB iPhone 7 plus from a 16 GB iPhone 5s, so I finally have space for my photos. I had my iCloud set to 'Optimize Storage' on my old phone so most of my photos in my current phone are the low resolution versions. I've tried changing the setting to 'Download and Keep Originals' but it never makes any progress. It's only 4 GB of photos and I have over 30 GB free so memory is not the issue. So my question is: How can I download my full resolution photos from iCloud to my new iPhone 7 plus?
