Step 1: Install iTunes
If you haven’t already, you’ll need to download and install iTunes on your computer. Head over to the official Apple website (www.apple.com/itunes) and click on the “Download iTunes” button. Follow the installation instructions provided and launch the application once it’s installed.
Step 2: Connect your Device
Grab your iPhone or iPad and connect it to your computer using the USB cable that came with your device. iTunes should automatically open when it detects your device. If it doesn’t, manually launch iTunes from your computer.
Step 3: Authorize your Computer
Before proceeding, ensure that your computer is authorized to access your iTunes account. If you haven’t authorized it yet, go to “Account” in the top menu, select “Authorizations,” and click on “Authorize This Computer.” Sign in with your Apple ID to complete the authorization process.

In the Photos settings, check the box next to “Sync Photos.” This will activate the photo synchronization feature. You’ll then need to choose a source for your photos. If you want to transfer photos from your computer to your device, select the folder or application from the dropdown menu. If you prefer to backup your device’s photos on your computer, choose the desired destination.
