IOS 8 Pictures
-
Hello, recently I have updated my iphone to the latest iOS8.0.1 and since then I am unable to retrieve my old photos via windows explorer. I read that the photos are all in the 'recently added' after you sync it to icloud but I couldn't access my photos from iCloud (maybe because I am using windows and not Mac), and when i tried using windows explorer, i don't get all my photos, just some of the really old ones.
Anybody can help? Thanks a lot!

To my understanding, there are two main ways of doing this…. The first is to use iTunes, which Apple forcibly crams down their users' throats..... The second one is a little more geeky. Linux should be able to pull said pictures off of the device as a USB drive. If you don't want to install Linux, there are a few options available...
Ubuntu for example offers an option to "Try Ubuntu", which allows you to boot into an Ubuntu session out of your system's RAM, as not to remove or otherwise modify your current operating system. You can find that legally for free at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
As for the alternative method, you can also try UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD), which will allow you to boot into a virtual Linux session (also running from RAM) using their "Parted Magic" tool. The UBCD is also available legally for free at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com
If either option should fail, I may have other ways of doing it. I will have to play around with an iDevice myself fist to be able to provide more detailed instructions on how to do this.

I don't follow a lot of Mac news… but I remember reading somewhere that a recent update restored a feature back with respect to photos. Perhaps this is what you're seeing, and perhaps you can Google for news related to this and see if there is an update.
