How do you get the photos/videos off your iPod touch?

Is it through itunes because I can't seem to figure it out. Would appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

I'll solve my own (and others I'm sure) problem. The Appir iTouch iOS 4.1 .pdf manual was of no help as all it says is: "PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application." No help there.
When you connect your iPod Touch 4th gen via USB, you should see it in the My Computer list of hard drives as a Digital Camera. You can open it up and see the camera files. Note: This in not the Photos as in the ones you put on your iPod via iTunes. Repeat: You cannot use iTunes to get the pictures & videos you take to your computer via iTunes. Strange.
Also see Apple tech note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 This is how to disable the popup that happens to many when you connect your iPod and Windows whats to know what application to run.
For me, I could not delete the files nor could I Drag & Drop (Copy / Paste) all the files from the iPod to my PC. It would stop transferring data after about 750 files. So I had to find a solution. I searched for programs that supported WIA protocol, which is how files are transferred.
I tried all of the apps at http://www.photo-freeware.net/transfer-tools.php and the only one that worked.
That was Cam2PC. One problem I encountered was that after transferring, it opened a Preview window. Unfortunately it doesn't do Quicktime, so when trying to display a thumbnail view of movies, it crashed. You can configure it not to open the preview window after transferring.
Another program to use is FastStone Image Viewer 4.2. No problems transferring or previewing. It doesn't show all files transferred when it opens it's preview window, notably Quicktime files. It does show screen dumps (.png) files. It is fast, small and so easy to use.
At last but not least, Nikon ViewNX 2 software. It transfers fast, has many options. Just what you would expect from a digital camera company. It previews Quicktime but not screen dumps. Downside: The program takes longer to load than the others.
So I'll be using FastStone Image Viewer 4.2 mostly. Hope the above helps out anyone that had the same problem as I did.

    i updated about 50 aulbm covers and cant get them on my ipod

    If you are Manually managing music updating your iPod, you need to delete the songs on the iPod and then re-add them from iTunes.
    If you are auto-syncing, just resync the iPod.

  • HT1311 how do you change the security questions on your ipod touch

    hey apple,
    so i don't remember the answers to my security questions. i'm trying to buy an app, but my ipod touch is telling me to answers some security questions, but i forgot the answers to them. can you please tell me how i can retrieve the answers or at leats change the answers, thank you.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

  • If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

    if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

    You can either,
    A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
    or 
    B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
    What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
    IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

    If the phone says "iPhone is disabled" conncet it to your computer, hold down on both the sleep/wake (top button) and home button (circle button) for about 30 seconds, when you see the apple let go of the top and continue holding the home button. This will put your device in recovery mode and you can restore it. This is your only option if the phone is disabled.
