My DCIM files are not showing on my computer?

Ok I use to have an android and switched to an iPhone. I put all my pictures on my sim card on the DCIM file. I no longer have the android so the sim card was my only backup. I plugged the sim card into my computer and the DCIM file is empty. How can I get those files back? Do i need to plug it into an old phone? Or can I not get these anymore? Please help. I have tons of memories in my pictures and really want to see them.

I would recommend first checking all of the files you can on your sim card. If you can't find the photos still, you will need your old phone.

You can take your charging cable and connect the phone to your computer. From a disk management tool, such as Windows Explorer, or My Computer, etc.
Next, you can either select import photos from the Windows 7 or higher autorun menu. Or you can find your phone in the list of drives, then search through the files on your phone to find all of your pictures and then copy them to wherever you would like them in your computer files.

  • Why does my Computer take forever to copy files to my Desktop now? My computer was working fine until yesterday. All of the sudden it takes 2 hours to copy 20 videos from my iphone to my computer. I do this All the time and it takes no longer than 20 secs to copy the files to my desktop. But yesterday and today it's been taking up to 2 hours. I have windows 7 and an HP computer. It's practically a brand new PC.
