how do I transfer my photos from my iphone to my toshiba laptop

See: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support for 3 options using Apple software. There are many others using 3rd party software, such as Google Photos, upthere.com, dropbox.com, box.com, shutterfly.com, etc.

If they were synced to the iPhone for another computer you will have to email them or use a third-party program like PhoneView

BTW you posted in the iPod Touch forum

Luckily my last laptop died so before it did so I was able to copy and back up the entire hard drive on an external hard drive so I have the pictures that were on my iPhone at that time however, iTunes still doesn't ask if I want to import new photos taken since my last SYNC

You can use Windows Explorer and copy them from the iPhone to the desired folder on your laptop. When you plug your iPhone to your computer, an autoplay will pop up, Windows Explorer will see your iPhone like any other digital camera... as a Portable Device called Apple iPhone. You just copy, paste to transfer photos from iPhone to computer.

Celindastidham did you notice that the post is almost two years old? You did not provide an new information since your suggestion was included in the Apple article provied n a previous reply. Note that most users never mark their post as solved.

For those who want to transfer photos from iPhone to computer:

1. Navigate to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Scanner and Camera Wizard.

2. When the Select Device window shows up, choose iPhone and click "OK".

3. Click Next to use the wizard. If you'd rather copy photos manually using Windows Explorer then choose "advanced users only."

Is it that software called FonePaw iOS Transfer? I used the FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery which is nice but it took me some time to scan my iPhone6, maybe there are too much data on my iPhone.
