[![License: GPL v3](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPLv3-blue.svg)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0)

A Windows command-line tool for transferring photos and videos from an iPhone to a folder on the local computer.

## Overview

The tool downloads the media database from the iPhone, then it copies all photos and videos from the phone into the local media library path. The media files are stored inside `DCIM` and `DCIM_deleted`. Afterwards it replicates the album structure inside the folder `Albums` by using copies or optionally hardlinks.

```
Library Path
├── Albums
├── DCIM
└── DCIM_deleted
```

## Requirements

The iTunesMobileDevice.dll and dependent DLLs from the packages "Apple Application Support" and 
"Apple Mobile Device Support" (driver) are needed.

### How to download these packages?

Download an older iTunes Installer from the Internet, make sure to check the Digital Signature to be sure, 
and extract it with e.g. 7zip to get the MSI packages.
The referenced library project used the iTunesMobileDevice.dll 757.3.2.1 which belongs to iTunes 12.1.1 from Jan 2015.
So you can either use the "Application Support" (3.1.2) and "Mobile Device Support" (8.1.1.3) installers from this iTunes version and 
use the DLLs in their respective folders.
Or you can use a newer version of the driver (Mobile Device Support, tested 14.1.0.35), but then you have to use the [library project](https://github.com/mkindustries/MK.MobileDevice.Lite)'s old [iTunesMobileDevice.dll](https://github.com/mkindustries/MK.MobileDevice.Lite/releases/download/mobiledevicelite_v5.0.6_bin/iTunesMobileDevice.dll) as newer 
versions of the driver don't contain that one any more.

Old iTunes versions can be found here:
