How do I recover photos off the iTunes backup from my iPhone so I can put them on my new computer?

My computer hard drive recently crashed and is unrecoverable. Like a dummies we didn't have it backed up. But do I have my photos and files still on my iPhone.
So, bought a new computer with Windows 8 operating system. Went to the iTunes store and they said I just needed to plug in my phone and transfer the photo's over.
First thing I did after downloading iTunes to my new computer was do a backup of my iPhone through iTunes. Then tried to download my pictures to my computer as recommended at the iTunes store. Was only able to get the pictures off the camera roll.
On my old computer I had several folders of photos that I had uploaded to my iPhone and still show up on the iPhone but I can't seem to find them to put them back on my new computer.
Can anyone assist me with this. I hate to purchase an extractor if I don't need one. I only have one chance at this and want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks in advance for your asssitance and advice.
And, they told me a couldn't grab my old music files either but had to reload them all back into iTunes by hand. Bummer.

Hi Becky,
If you have iCloud and shared Photo Stream turned on, you can go into your each of your albums and do the following:
1.     Tap on Edit
2.     Tap on each photo you want to save back to your computer
3.     Tap on Share
4.     Tap on Photo Stream
5.     Tap on the unnamed Photo Stream folder just created
6.     Type in your iCloud or Apple ID email address
7.     Name the Photo Stream
8.     Tap on Next to create the shared Photo Stream album
9.     Tap on Post
10.   Tap on the new Photo Stream album
11.    Tap on Edit
12.    Tap on the photos to select them
13.    Tap on Share
14.    Tap on Save to Camera Roll
Once they are back in the Camera Roll, you should be able to import them.
Cheers,

I am so sorry for you and your situation. Were you using iCloud photostream?
Otherwise I do not see any chance for your precious photos.
Congrats anyway on the little darling!

HT201272 You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment recut from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs, 7 are still avail

You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

HT1349 I cannot access the itunes store from my pc, since I can access my browser, I am online.

I have tried to access the itunes store from my pc several times, but it just locks up. I downloaded a more recent version of itunes, but that had no effect.
Since I can access the internet through my browser and my computer shows everything is online, I am stumped. Can anyone suggest something?
Thanks

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do I get photos OFF the mini iPad?

How do I get my photos OFF my iPad mini so I can print them?...please

The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
From now on, all future photos taken by the iPad will automatically upload to the Dropbox folder. You can then download your photos from Dropbox to your computer by going to http://www.dropbox.com, logging in to your account, and downloading the photos. You can then put the photos on a USB drive or burn to a CD or upload them to a photo processing website.
Hope this helps!

How do I take music from my itunes on my iPhone 4s that I did not purchase and put them on my new computer without deleting anything

How do I take music from my itunes on my iPhone 4s that i didnt purchase and transfer them to my new itunes without deleting anything. I do not have my old computer and do not want to delete all my music on my phone. I do have some music i did purchase and transfered it but that music i didnt purchase, i dont know how to transfer. HELP!!!!!!

Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.
