Is there anyway i can copy or move the pictures on my photo library ( iphone) to the computer?

My iphone doesn't appear on on my computer. It only appears on itunes and i can't find a solution. I have so many problems with the phone and i desperatley need to move my pics to my computer because i hadnt backed it up for a long time. And i can't import it because like i said the phone doesn't appear in the connected devices on my computer no matter how long i wait.

Connect your phone to a USB port on your computer. Then click on 'Start'> 'My Computer' Check to see if it shows up on any of the 'Devices with removable storage'
