I know this is going to sound dumb - believe me I feel dumb - but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my photos off my iPhone without individually sending every single one to an email or something!

Yes, okay, I've set up Photo Stream but for some reason it doesn't have all my photos in photo stream or any of my videos. I installed the iCloud thing on my PC but it seems practically useless. I've installed iTunes and I can't access my photos through iTunes either! Oh, and when I was able to see my iPhone in the list under 'My Computer', I wasn't able to click on it to get to my photos either!

I realize my iPhone is smarter than I am and it will hold my pictures hostage forever but I'd really really like to have them on my computer where I can get to them and edit them without this hassle! I never had this trouble getting photos off my Android. Would someone please help me before I chunk both phone and laptop across the couch in frustration?

ETA: Problem solved! And it was because I was dumb, just like I thought!
