Why does my laptop take me straight to my photos when i plug in my iphone 5?
I have a new laptop that i have yet to backup my iphone 5. So i'm trying to backup my ihpone 5 to my windows 8 laptop, but every time i plug it in it just takes me to my photos. It has imoprted my photos and my apps, but I can't find the place to sync or backup. It won't show up on my phone or laptop either. It just takes me straight to my photos, so i exit and go to my itunes, but all it has is the music and apps, but no home page to sync or restore or backup. So how to I find that? Its not showing up when i plug in any other iphones either.
You need to start iTunes and update it, plug in the device, it should pop up on the right, a blue tab. You click on that and in those menus it gives you the option to back up.
If iTunes does not detect your iPhone:

Hi,
Connect your iPhone and launch the Device manager
Look for the iPhone entry and select it.
Click on Reinstall the drivers.
Once done try to open iTunes.
Hope this helps"
That's why I love my Andriod. Drag and drop. No iTunes bs.
- Why won't my iPhone show up when I plug it into the laptop? Okay, so I was trying to edit a photo on a website which meant I had to plug my iPhone into the laptop the get the photo up. I've done it before, but when I tried it the second time, my phone won't show up when I plug it in? ITunes is working fine and everything though. So what do I do?
- Why does some of the photos that I take with my iPhone 6 so much bigger than the other photos? I didn't change any of the settings in my phone as I have been taking one photo after the other. I don't think it is a burst shot either because I do not hold the capture button for long. So I'm expecting all photos to be relatively the same. Some photos even reached 200MB! I'm puzzled atm…
- Why does my photos take space on my iPhone? I noticed my photos took 3GB of space so I deleted them all. I go check my space again and it says my Photo Library takes 1.8GB
- Why does my photos on my Iphone take up so much memory? I had about 500 photos and it was 6.0GB, then i literally deleted all except 4 of my photos. So I have 4 photos and its 5.2 GB?! Please Help ME FIX THIS it takes up all my memory, by the way i have a 16GB IPhone 5, Thanks!
