"Normal person vs. Apple, Chapter One Million"...
I have posted before about my distaste for all things Apple.
Years ago, after many trials and tribulations getting photos from my wife's iphone 5, I found, probably with a recommendation from these forums, Adobe Bridge, and that did the trick perfectly.
She recently got an iphone 7 though, and the arrogant idiocy that is the world of Apple re-asserted its ugly and senseless proprietary head.
Adobe Bridge still easily transfers selected photos from the phone to my Win7 computer, and still stores the photos in folders based on date, just as I want.
So what's the problem?
For reasons I don't know, whether on the phone, or in the transfer, SOME of the photos are stored on my machine with the wrong date and time, usually off by 12-24 hours.
ALL I WANT is something (NOT itunes; I'd rather drink cyanide) that easily and logically moves photos from an iphone 7, with the files landing on my machine with the proper date and time, corresponding to the EXIF date/time stamp.
Since she moved to an iphone 7, I must then laboriously paw through each folder (Adobe Bridge creates a subfolder for each date on which the phone has pictures), then run a utility (I use Exifer) to redate the files based on EXIF date. And then because the Bridge transfer resulted in some but not all dates being off, half the photos are in the wrong folders because the folder dates were based on the (often wrong) date stamps on the pictures.
This is not rocket science.
What's a nice, and easy utility to do what I want?
