Can't see phone pictures on PC

By chance has icloud photos been enabled on your phone

I would check the DCIM folder, but you may need to send them to icloud and then pull them onto your computer that way, this is the way I have heard of people doing it.

How do I check if icloud photos are enabled on my phone ??

I’ll have to check with my iPhone 5s to see what shows. Currently away from my laptop.
Check Settings & click on your Apple ID, iCloud, scroll down to Photos- is this enabled or disabled?

Ok, I’ve checked & as I have all my photos in the iCloud there’s nothing there, which suggests that iCloud photos has been enabled & the missing photos are not downloaded to the device.

The phone tells me there is not enough space to download all the photos to my phone.

Bingo
The pics are on icloud by the look of it

Another update. I downloaded and installed Icloud for Windows on my computer. I can now see all the photos, 902, that are on my phone. However if I chose a certain picture and try to save it to my desktop, it gives it a name like icloud photos.mhtml when I find that photo on my desktop, nothing is there.
I did figure out how to download ALL pictures to my computer that takes about 20 minutes, so that is not too bad. The pictures come in as a ZIP folder, but I can open the whole folder. They all open as very small pictures, even though I chose large, or extra large in the View options at top. If I click on a certain picture it does open as normal. Seems like a lot of work to do to just see a certain picture on my phone. Lot different from before, when I used to just connect to my computer, and I saw all pictures. Oh well, I am convinced that maybe my phone is dying, because as I said before, if I connect my wife’s phone to my computer, (like I did in the past). I can see all the photos on her phone without, Itunes, or Icloud for Windows. Thanks to all for all your help and suggestions. Mike

Your wife’s phone will have more data space and the pics are on her phone.
Your pics are on icloud and not the phone
hence the difference

Not true. if I click the PHOTOS icon on my phone, I can see all the pictures that are there. all 902 of them.

If you turn off icloud access can you still see them all

What operating system are you using on the computer that you are attempting to download the photos to?
