Transfer iPhone 8 Photos to Computer via USB. Unlike Android, there are many restrictions.
Jun 01, 2020.
While trying to import photos and video from your iPhone onto your PC, I kept getting an error message. I would go to This PC/AppleiPhone/DCIM and locate the media I wanted to import. Then I would attempt to copy and paste the media into a folder on the desktop. I got the error message 'Device is unreachable.' I was able to fix this problem by simply changing a setting on my iPhone. If you have the same problem, go to Settings/Photos and scroll down to 'Transfer to Mac or PC.' 'Keep Originals' should be checked, not 'Automatic.' Simply changing this setting solved my problem.
