Q: Photos over IMG_9999 appear to no longer be available from PC?

iPhone 6 running iOS8.1

 

Photos over IMG_9999 appear to no longer be available from a PC in "Internal Storage\DCIM"?  I leave all photos on my phone (why not it's 128GB right?) and on my PC too (it's part of my backup strategy).  I'm up to around 12500 photos.  Prior to upgrading to iOS8 / iPhone 6 there used to be lots of seemingly randomly named folders such as "872BKMTH" and "892ZLWLR" under "Computer\My iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM" but now there are only two folders.  One folder has images IMG_0001 to IMG_9999 in and the other just has two app created movies in... so there question is.. where are the rest of my photos and how can I now get them onto my PC?

 

I've tried looking for them through iFunBox but I still can't see the photos i get folders Camera, Camera 2 to Camera 8 but looking at all these I still can't find the latest photos and movies?

 

Bit stumped :-(  Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Incidentally the single folder with 9999 images in takes far too long to load..  what was wrong with the dozen or so folders from before?

 

Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

    I had the same problem - iPhone 6, folders up to 106APPLE.  I found that the counter had rolled over, and new photos were putting themselves in 105APPLE, starting at IMG_0001.jpg again.

     

    It might help to do a search with the DCIM folder for IMG_0001.jpg , right click on it and select 'open file location'.

     

    I'm not sure whether there was an original IMG_0001 that is now being overwritten, but I'm all backed up to time machine anyway (not to icloud as their measly 5GB now gets fulled up only with messages).
