I just want to load pics from my friends computer to my Iphone. I want to load some pics from mine onto it also.

I try to copy and paste them from the file on the computer by right clicking and using "copy" and them right clicking and "paste" onto my iphone files but it doesnt work.

If I can't just do this without downloading a bunch of crap I am selling this thing... On my old Samgung phone I can just copy and past both ways to transfer pics between any computer i want right to my phone...

How can I do this instantly. I dont have time to screw around, I transfer pics aot between my phone and many other desktop pc's and laptops...

Thanks...

You can use a utility like Air Sharing on the iPhone, or Dropbox.

Or of course, e-mail.

Transferring content from one machine to another is not one of the primary functions of the iPhone ecosystem.

If the iPhone doesn't suit your use patterns, then I would suggest selling it. Though, I am curious about what attracted you to the iPhone.

However, I second Spheric's suggestion: Dropbox is one of the best ways to get content in and out of many devices.

Hmm...Chinese IP with a user name followed by a series of numbers. That doesn't match any sort of pattern that I've seen around here before...

I guess iTunes' photo sharing doesn't work either...go back under the bridge with your Samsung clone phone.
