I need help with saving all of the photos and videos on my iPhone.

When I access the screen that has Photos, Shared, and Albums and I click on Photos, there are more photos there than the phone is counting that
I have on my iPhone. How do I save all those photos or put them onto my computer? I have saved the photos it will let me but I cannot access the photos from more than 2 years ago. Also my phone says I have 43 videos but only 10 save.
Also, when I upgrade and switch to a newer iPhone, will I see all those photos from the whole history of my phone, will I see all 43 videos, and all my iMessages and SMSs?
Thank you.

Hi Sharon,
The best thing for you to do is 2 things.
When you purchase a new device(whether it be a iPhone, iPod or iPad)
1) Perform a full backup of your old device via iTunes. This will save contacts, calendars, photos, text messages, emails, apps in folders how you left them, music, videos, podcasts etc. Note it won't import your photos unless you tell it to.
1.1) When you get your new device it will ask whether to set up as a new device or from a backup, select from backup and your new phone will look and be exactly the same as your old one, same settings etc.
2)[optional] I personally like to backup my photos to iPhoto on my mac once a month. When  it reaches the end of the library it asks whether to delete originals or not. If you hit no it doesn't change the photos on your device and you have a copy in your iTunes library. This is handy if you want to use photos from your phone on your mac.
