Good advice, although I struggled to find the AppData folder. If you have the same problem, click on 'start' and in the search bar type in 'show hidden files and folders'. In there, change the settings by ticking 'show hidden files, folders and drives' and apply. Now from here C:\Users\[username]\ you should be able to find 'AppData' and be able to follow the original instructions given above. This was doing my head in.

But once they finished downloading, I can't find them. After checking the normal My Photos area, I tried searching my computer for any files modified today and couldn't find them. Any suggestions?

I typed "show hidden" into Windows 7 search. From there I clicked on Folder Options, the View tab, then selected the option "show hidden files folders and drives" Once I renamed the below file and my upload worked instantly afterwards. C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Photo Acquisition\PreviouslyAcquired.db Great advice!

The message appeared even before I imported photos for the first time, so renaming the "previouslyacquired" file didn't work, nor did deleting it. Also, when I browsed to the phone in Explorer it couldn't see any of the image files, the folder was just blank. What I did in the end was go to Start > Control Panel > Auto Play, Devices, and under this iPhone changed the drop down from "Import pictures and videos using Windows" to "Open device to view files using Windows Explorer." Then the image files appeared, and I could just cut and paste them to the PC. I was having this problem with an iPhone 4 and Windows 7.
