Not all your iPhone photos are shown on your computer? If that's the case, you need to check your iCloud settings on your iPhone. If you have turned on iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, some of the photos may have been stored in iCloud, not on your iPhone. You can go to iCloud.com to download iCloud photos to your PC if you are using a Windows computer or download photos from iCloud to Mac if you are a Mac user.
