I've been trying to download/upload pics from my iphone and it's been a nightmare. I uses a W7 older laptop for mail because it's so user friendly, and it wouldn't even begin to do the transfer. So, I used my newer W10 laptop and was able to get the pics from the phone to the W10. Then, I tried to transfer that file to a USB stick and on to my W7. The pics r5everted BACK to the original NON-opening "HEIC" or whatever file the iphone uses. So failed again. I have opened the pics fully on the W10, and will try again, but this is too much BS and maybe Apple should be called out on it.

Cool

This is far beyond my expertise. I have yet to activate my smart phone. my dumb flip is all i need.

My kids take a lot of pictures on their very smart phones and send them to me via email!!!

I download and save some. Same with my bother. he has shared many anold family photo with me in that manner. I down load and save

I am going to try something, it may flop!!1

Here is the Weber 32/36 on my XJ6c. I did the switch on my iPhone to jpeg. However, this is the only forum that rejects the HEIC photo format

I wonder why they reject the iphone pics??

I finally got ONE photo up on the forum after slugging through setting up an email account, using it to mail a pic to my own email, opening and downloading the pic to my laptop, and then using the forum site to upload(?) the pic. Somewhere in all of that it converted to JPEG. When I tried again....none of the other pics would get to my email account, even though the phone said they were sent. So.....???????????????

This would be so much easier if the forum would accept iphone transfers.

I found a program that converts pics from "HELL" to JPEG. It's called "Pixillion" by NCH software. It works great, but you still have to open the pic(s) up and put it into a file so you can browse for it (them). I'll get a few up after I copy and reduce them.
