Q: I cannot upload the photos from my iPhone onto my Windows computer
My computer won't allow me to access the photos on my iPhone. It will allow me to update the music and games and all on iTunes but I cannot open it outside of iTunes. Can anyone help?

OK, so photos have to get to the computer one of several ways:
1. You can use your iCloud account to set up a Photo Stream that is shared among all devices and computers that are signed on to that same iCloud account and that have the Photo Stream option turned on:

2. You can manually import your photos to your computer by hooking up your device to your computer, and then by using a photo importing software like iPhoto or Photos for Mac, or My Photos for Windows
3. Depending on what software you are running on your machines, you can also use iCloud Photo Library which will store all of your photos in iCloud and make them all accessible to your devices and computers at the same time. The drawback to this is if you change or delete a photo in one place, it gets changed or deleted universally, since the photo itself resides in only one physical place

Is this the kind of info you are looking for?
