I have already developed a working solution and I’m going to release it as soon as possible.

Any idea when a “select all” button might be coming? My iPhone won’t sync anymore and i have 4,315 pictures to send…
thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions! I’m working hard to deliver a new version that will solve most of your requests: “Select all” button, video transfer, metadata.
Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket… That’s a good idea. I’ll see what I can do.
Thank you again for your support.

Oh yah,

forgot to mention, need meta (exif), plus GPS data in the photos preserved.

thanks,

This is a good solution for what I need. I just purchased a iPhone4 (16gb). 5mp photos and 720p videos can sure eat up the free space pretty fast. I was looking for an ‘eye-fi’ type solution and this is pretty close. I tried using dropbox, hoping that it could sync automatically… no luck.

The new iPhone 4 camera is really useful (coming from a 3g). I feel that I’ll be taking many more photos with my phone now. I don’t know how many people will use it this way, but I’m looking for this type of workflow:
- take photos
- open wifiphoto
- select ‘all photos in camera roll’ (feature request?)
- get ip address
- in laptop browser, navigate to URL and download .zip
- extract and import into Lightroom
- edit
- publish to web (Picasa in my case)
- clean up camera roll on iPhone (feature request?)

Anything you can do to help with reducing this workflow would be great. I feel like i’m a pretty savvy technology person, I’m fairly comfortable with this workflow, but people like my mom and dad (who also just bought iPhones), they need a solution for getting the photos off of the phone and on to a computer… maybe even directly to photo sharing sites (picasa, flickr, photobucket). I think you would tap a market of non-techie people if you could reduce their photo publishing/backup to a few steps.

just a suggestion.

thanks again for the great app (well worth the $.99).

Try this. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi. You should see at least one network checkmarked under Choose a network. Otherwise there’s no wifi network. Tap on the arrow right to the selected network and read your address under IP address (i.e. 198.168.0.2). If you changed nothing in default WiFiPhoto’s settings, you should enter http://your.ip.adresss:8080 (i.e. http://198.168.0.2:8080) in your browser

I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong, but here’s what I have: Iphone, version 3.1.3. I’ve gone to Settings>General>Network>Wi-Fi>then when I turn it on, it says Choose a Network. Ask to Join is ON so I assume no known networks are available. How do I know which network to choose? I can go in to Safari on my Iphone and it works fine. So I assume the problem I’m having is that I can’t get WiFi on my phone.
At the moment I’m trying to put my pics on a computer that uses Vista, and I’m using AOL. When I get back home, I’ll be using a computer that is XP, using MSN. Thanks for your patience.

I’m sorry for your connection problems but WiFiPhoto works perfectly with every model of iPhone. I’m using 3gs for development and I’ve found no issues so far.
WiFiPhoto was tested on several configurations (XP / Vista / Leopard / SL / Safari / Chrome / IE / Firefox). Nevertheless connection problems may still be present but are generally related to routers. WiFiPhoto needs a wifi connection, so you should check in iPhone’s Settings that WiFi is on and that you’re connected to a network (wifi symbol should come up at the top left corner). Try and browse in Safari to see if it works.
If WiFIPhoto displays no web address you can simply use the one under Settings > General > Network > WiFi > * Your selected network * and add the chosen port. (So if you read 192.6.1.25 and server port is default 8080, you should enter in your browser’s address bar http://192.6.1.25:8080). Please enter the COMPLETE address including http://
You can try to change WiFiPhoto’s server port to 80. In WiFiPhoto go to Settings > Server port. Switch server status off and on.
Make sure there’s no software or hardware firewall active. If you have Internet Security you should try to disable it.
Hope it helps.

If it doesn’t please let me know which kind of OS, iPhone OS, browser and router you are using and which kind of problem you are facing (no webpage loading at all, just very very slow, no web address displayes…) and possibly a screenshot of any error your browser displays.

I downloaded your wifiphoto app because of the great reviews. I want to download some pics from my Iphone to my computer, but it says “no wifi connection” when I go into the app. When I go into my settings and turn on wifi, do I have to join a network because if I just turn WiFi on, it says (in settings) “not connected”. What will finally make my app work? I’m a novice, so please consider that in your explanation.
Thanks.

The problem is that once a photo is picked, it must be immediately processed otherwise it’s lost. If I saved it for later, times would be longer. I’m sorry but there’s currently no workaround.
