I can already browse and store files on my iPhone using windows explorer??

.Net Framework errors

[DexterPunk]

I just get

"iphone explorer has stopped working........" or something similar as soon as I try and run it... Win7, tried as administrator and in compat mode.

That was what I was about to ask.

This lets you use it with out jail breaking your phone. You been broken in Pix?

[pixelboy]

It was jailbroken.. But isn't now. I haven't tried to write files to it.. But have copied images of it..

Maybe I'm dreaming?

Ipods come up in My Computer.. is iphone diffrent?

if so thats fking retarded

[DexterPunk]

yes they are different Nutty. Apple doesnt want you (for what ever reason) to use it as a removable storage device.

two biggest cons to the iPhone for me, is no removable storage, and no blutooth file transfer.

Hrmmm...
no errors for me, program runs fine

The iphone comes up in Windows, but it's just the "imaging" section and is read-only. If you want full access you need another program (such as this)

norbs I use the app "GoodReader" to do this, I guess the downside is it only transfers files over a wireless connection.
But it will also view & play most file types within the device once stored.
I think it was mentioned somewhere else of the forum the other day.

It seems to be working fine on OS X. I was more curious about what Pix said. My iPhone doesnt show up in Explorer or Finder (OS X) by default.

[DexterPunk]

Anyone got it working on win7?? No go for me.

If you need to access the imaging section of your iphone without any external software, open "image capture", and you can download them that way if needed.

The photos are a piece of piss to get off the phone, I was more thinking about using it to carry files to and from work.

[w00dsy]

it's working for me Dex, easy as pie.

[DexterPunk]

weird....

after it installs and i try to run it.. i get

"unable to execute file.
C:\Program file\.................... iPhone Explorer.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 740.
The requested operation requires elevation."

I tried putting my computer up on a higher bench and running the program, but still doesnt work

[pixelboy]

Ive just played about some more and yes, as plastik says, its just the images/photos and yeah, its read only..

Sorry, as you were..

Dexter, try running it as admin!

[plastik8]

Tried this? Not quite as good as USB mass storage but better than nothing.

try standing it upside down, smack it with a small paddle and make it say "you are my daddy"!



pretty silly that you can use an ipod for this but not the iphone.
