Michael Redmond Jr. explains how to upload<br />
photos to your PC (Windows) or Apple devices.<br />
Uploading to PC<br />
1 Connect your device (e.g., phone, camera, tablet,<br />
etc.) to your computer using the USB *cable it<br />
came with. This is done by plugging the smaller<br />
end of the cable (Micro-B or Lightning port) into<br />
your device and by plugging the USB (bigger end)<br />
into your computer.<br />
*This will be the same cable used to charge your<br />
device.<br />
2 Open your File Explorer from the start menu and<br />
locate your device on the left hand side-bar. Double<br />
click on your device’s name to open its files.<br />
3 Now that you can see your devices files, Select<br />
the folder you saved your picture under on your<br />
device. For most devices, this can be seen in the<br />
Photos folder already setup on your device.<br />
4 Now that you’re in the folder where you saved your<br />
photo, locate the picture you’d like to transfer.<br />
5 Once you’ve located this picture, Left click and<br />
Hold on the image’s icon. While still holding<br />
the image, Drag the image over to the desired<br />
destination *folder.<br />
*to ensure you’re over the correct folder, the folder<br />
will be highlighted and little note will appear<br />
saying “→ Move to [folder name]”<br />
After 2 seconds of hovering over a folder, this<br />
message will disappear and the folder being<br />
hovered over will open up so that you can place it<br />
in a subsequent folder if desired.<br />
6 Once you are sure you are over the desired<br />
destination folder, Release the left click and this<br />
will Drop the picture into that folder.<br />
7 To ensure this was done successfully, left click<br />
on the destination folder and locate your image<br />

successfully.<br />

*This will be the same cord used to charge your<br />
device*<br />
2 Once your device has been connected follow the on<br />
