How to Get Pictures From a Folder on a Desktop to an iPhone
More than just a cellphone, the Apple iPhone doubles as a media player. It can display pictures and play music and videos stored in its memory. Users who want to add their own pictures to an iPhone can transfer them onto the device. This requires the installation of iTunes, Apple's flagship application for iPod and iPhone content management. In addition, the iPhone must be connected to the computer through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the computer.
