Galaxy S4 downloading pictures-UPDATE
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 ...

The problem is the S-Whatever can connect as a Media device or as a modem.
IF you have the modem drivers loaded on your computer, it may put you in "Modem" mode first, then getting back to Media mode is .. a pita.. It can be done but its a pita
Deleting the modem drivers fixes it,,, Device manager,, Hardware, Find it in Ports I think (May be network connections) and delete it.
Then unplug and plug back in, Computer will want to re-install modem drivers, Stop it from doing that.
Yes, I did that. Still no dice. Thank you for your efforts though!

I have a feeling my USB cable is ok as the phone charges fine and my computer sees the phone as a modem device.
I have found a temporary workaround however. On the Android forums they mentioned a neat program called Airdroid. I installed it on both my laptop and phone and can now see all the files and pictures and do with them as I please. It allows me to do things on the phone via the computer. It acts as though the two are connected via a USB but without the cord. It really works well. Still going to see the guy at Best Buy though. :)
