I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with an added mini SD card for storage. How do I get the pictures out of the phone without taking the back off and removing the SD card?

I have tried hooking the phone to my computer using the supplied USB cord and I have downloaded the drivers from the internet but the only thing my computer sees is the phone as a modem. It does not see the phone as another drive or allow me to see the contents of the phone for downloading. All of my previous phones have been able to be seen by the computer as another drive when hooked up via USB. Any suggestions?

Use a microsoft windows operating system, and it will search for and provide the right drivers for your computer. Another option is to download the SAMSUNG Kies software, free. That should take care of your needs.

Niner, i have alread done both of the things you suggest with no results other than the phone showing up as a modem after using the Kies software when I am using Windows.

1492,
I have a dropbox account and have uploaded/downloded several pictures that way. i have not tried to do the whole phone. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
