Thanks for your reply. I have ordered a flash drive that plugs into the lightning connector port of an iphone and then there's an app that's associated with the flash drive that will discover & load the photos to the flash drive. I assume it leaves the photos on the phone.

I downloaded my personal phone photos a few months ago. Same computer, same everything, except the phone. That all went OK.

I hear so many people say, "oh, those photos weren't important anyway...". I suggest waiting about 50 yrs before making that comment. You just never know.

I can also say I'm very glad someone invented jpeg photos on computers or I'd be flat broke by now buying film & developing. I think back on all the botched photos that you had to pay to have processed to just throw in the trash.

Thanks Ted. I'll report back on how the iphone flash drive deal goes.
