Many
iPhone users including iPhone 5s/6s/7 and iPhone 8 users are complaining about
an issue in iPhone that while trying to transfer photos to laptop or PC they
can't transfer all photos from iPhone to pc as iPhone not showing all photos on
computer. It is not like that all photos are not visible in PC but there are
many random photos that are missing from iPhone when accessed in Computer. For
some users this is happening for thousands of photos and user is unable to
transfer photos to PC.
The
problem looks serious when huge number of photos are lying in your iPhone and
wanted to transfer all my photos to computer and you can't import photos from iPhone
to mac/PC as they are not visible. And this is frustrating “Why I can't see all
my photos in the DCIM folder of iPhone?”
The
issue is generally reported by users who are using iCloud library. iCloud Photo
Library can be very confusing even for people who intentionally use it to store
photos. Generally, all the photos are on camera roll, and none are showing up
under DCMI folder. If you have iCloud turned on, but the pictures will still be
shown in camera roll.
How to fix not all iPhone photos showing up on
computer
Fix 1: Download from
iCloud library
The
issue is usually countered when your photos are stored in iCloud and the photos
which are successfully uploaded to iCloud are not shown in the photos list when
accessed in PC. You can download those images first and then should be able to
transfer those pics successfully.

First turn on the iCloud Photo Library, from the settings application. Head to
the app on your iPhone, scroll the list to find iCloud and opt for Photos.
Swipe the iCloud Photo Library to the right to activate the service.

On the same iCloud setting, you will be able to find "Download and keep
original" option. Turn on the same. Now you should be connected to fast
good internet connection as all photos will be downloaded to your iPhone.
3:
After some time open Photos application on your iPhone to view the photos
available in the iCloud Photo Library app as it will synchronize the data
automatically. Now you should be able to transfer these photos to your PC.
Fix 2: Use Airdrop for MAC PC transfer
This
is also a solution to fix the issue when you are not able to transfer some
photos to your computer as they are not visible in DCIM folder. First make sure
phone and Mac in the same WIFI, Select all pictures you want to transfer, AirDrop
