iPhone in Windows 7 “no new videos or pictures were found on this device”

sad-iphone

So, I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and I plugged in my iPhone like I normally would on Windows XP to download all the pictures and videos I took.

Well, I thought it’d be a breeze.  I plugged in my iPhone, and Windows 7 did detect the iPhone, but when I selected to import the images, I quickly got a “no new videos or pictures were found on this device” message.  Ugh!

After doing some digging around the ‘Net I found out that you have to first disable passlock on your iPhone.

So, if you are hitting the same wall I did, go under Settings icon and click on General Settings.  There you will be able to turn Passlock off.

Once turned off, plug it into the USB port again, and everything should work from there.

Don’t forget to turn passlock ON after you are done downloading the pictures and videos!
