how can I transfer photos from ipad - pc if pc doesn't recognise device as harddrive?

I have synced my ipad to laptop with windows 8 on itunes - but I cant get the photos to copy across so I can delete them from ipad.


I have also tried this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 - to transfer images but my laptop doesnt recognise the ipad as a hard drive and therefore as a device to import the images from.


I have an ipad 2 - which I have had for a few years and have never been able to get the photos off (have over 20k) and I went to the Apple store and they suggested I try different laptops - which i have - just bought a new laptop - and it wont recognise it as a seperate device apart from itunes either.


Is this a fault with my ipad? How do I get my photos off?? thanks

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, Windows 8
