Trying to import photos to computer but there aren't showing up
If you were to look at my phone, you'd see that I have around 900 photos and 50 videos. I want to move all of these to my computer, and I'm tired of trying to use photostream to do it. My plan was to plug the phone in, navigate to the appropriate folder(s), then just copy/paste them to a folder on my computer. So, I navigate to my phone--->internal storage--->DCIM---> a bunch of random folders. Now, these folders are supposed to have photos, and they do, but only about 25 total in all of the folders. Oddly, they were all created and last modified on the exact same day, 5/29/2015.
I also tried using the "imports photos" method, but that only imports the same photos noted above.
It's as if the pics, old and new, are being saved to some mystery, inaccessible location. Any thoughts on how to do this? For all of its ease of use, Apple really dropped the ball with photostream and photo handling in general.
Thanks!
