How to get photos/videos on iPod Touch after full reset?

OK guys, I'm ready to tear my hair out over this one. Long story slightly shorter:
1) Upgraded my 4th gen Touch to iOS6 and liked it, until I realized all of my music was gone.
2) I wiped the device and tried to restore it from iCloud, which was a complete disaster--didn't work at all.
3) Spent the last three days reloading all of my apps and getting everyhing *just right* over the air, without actually connecting to iTunes on my computer.
4) Now when I try to connect, the only options are a) set it up as a new device, presumably erasing all of my work over the past few days or b) trying to restore from the last backup, which was months ago (since I rely on iCloud for everything) and which I already know doesn't work anyway.
Is there anything I can do to get my iPod Touch connected enough NOT to sync, but to transfer photos and some videos to the device from iTunes??
I hope that this makes sense and that someone can help me! I've wasted way, way too much time on this recently and I'm almost done getting things back the way they were, but want my photos and a couple of short videos back on my iPod Touch.
PS I have both a Windows 7 laptop and a Macbook Air, and can use either and/or both as part of the process if that makes a difference. The Windows PC is the primary; I only use the Air as a client machine with iTunes Match/Dropbox/iCloud.

Thank you so much!!! I couldn't find anything in the knowledgebase, so this is a *HUGE* help.
Just for clarification though, I wasn't ever able to restore from backup--is the fact that I connected my Touch to my PC in recovery mode the reason why my computer doesn't "realize" that the Touch has already been set up? That was the only way to get the device usable again after the failed iCloud restore attempts. I hadn't actially synced with the computer since last October though I had been able to connect to transfer photos, etc. more recently than that.
I guess the good news is that I'm totally "lean and mean" now, and ready for my new 5th gen Touch in a few weeks (hurry up with that release date Apple!). I have just 53 apps now, all on one page, instead of the roughly 300 I had before. I'm a freelance tech writer/reviewer, and I have a bad habit of letting all the apps I've reviewed sit on my device after the articles are written, even if I'm not using them. My 4th gen Touch is much faster now.

    Does your ipod touch have the lightning connector or the 30 pin connector.
    Lightning connector does not transmit video because it is digital and the KW is analog.
    You can buy a convoluted combination of splitters and converters to get around this but it will be expensive and a spaghetti of wiring.  If you do have a 30 pin connector, then details for proper setup are on page 106 of your English Manual.

  • How to get photos off my iPod that were on a app?? PLEASE HELP _ !!!

    I dropped my cracked iPod touch 4th generation in water and now it's just done. The touch doesn't work anymore (by that I mean I cant touch it anymore, I cant slide it open or slide it to turn it off). It wouldn't really be a big problem cause I plugged a USB cord in my iPod into my laptop and it downloaded all my photos from my iPod onto my laptop. The problem is I had a lock app (that kind of app that you can keep private stuff in/the app you need a password for) and I had many pics of memories on there that I will never get back. They didn't download onto my laptop like the rest cause they are not technically on my iPod, they're on a app.  I have been trying to find a way to get those pics onto my laptop but with my iPod unable to open I have just given up. I would take it to a shop but they would probably just reset it and delete everything. You guys are my last hope. Is there ANY way I can some how save those pics?? If not tell me because keeping this iPod around is just saddening :/ PLEASE HELP! (I don't know if this is useful information but My Ipod was NOT a IOS 7, it was a 6 something.. I dont remember exactly but It was not a 7, but a 6. something)

    Can you backup the iPod? If so then either:
    - Restore another iPod touch, iPad or iPhone for that backup
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you have an iTunes backup you may be able to extract the photos from the backup by:

  • Getting photos off of iPod Touch

    How can I get photos off of my iPod Touch and onto my computer ?

    Presumably, these are photos you've taken "on the Touch" with the screenshot facility, either the iPod one or one built into an App, is that correct? If so, then when you connect the Touch to iTunes a window should appear notifying you of "photos on the Touch which are not in your library". I can't be more precise about this since I'm a Windows user, but I guess it'll be iPhoto or an additional iTunes window that pops up.
    Anyway, when that window appears, there should options for removing them from the Touch and putting them into your photo library.
    Have you tried that?

  • How to get IOS 5 on ipod touch 2g

    I have an ipod touch 2g and want ios 5 on. I know it is not compatiable for ios 6 but i'd like ios 5 as i can not get facebook apps because i only have ios 4. How do i download it on my ipod?

    Your current iOS version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version. You can check if there is an update available for it by connecting it to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on the Summary tab clicking the Check For Updates button.
    If there is an update, then before your start the update process first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.

  • When I send photos/videos thru Ipod Touch 5 -

    Photos & videos I email thru IPOD TOUCH 5 are received sideways by recipients??? 

    Called and talked to Apple today, and they did not have a solution to the sideways and upside down videos.  But I now realize that you need to take Videos with the bottom (where you plug wire into) to the right side when video taking and the videos go into the computer just fine after doing so!!  Trial and error I call it.  but thanks for your help!!!!

    Try the following. You will likely have to let the battery fully drain                                              
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to get song off my iPod Touch into iTunes

    Hello,
    I just bought a new laptop and I'm trying to get all my music (non of which was purchased from iTunes) into iTunes on my laptop. I've tried a few apps that supposedly do this, but they didn't work and I don't have the option to use my Touch as a hard drive so some directions I found on the net wouldn't work in that situation.
    Is there an easy 'free' way to do this with an iPod Touch?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Senuti has just released a beta that does do exactly this. Obviously one accepts that this IS a beta and there are no guarantees, but I tried it yesterday and it caused me no problems. You might want to change the Transfer location in the preferences forst; but then maybe some won't.

  • How to get list in itunes & ipod touch to synce based on sort

    I can't find how to get a smart playlist that I created and called "most played" in itunes to be in the same order on my ipod.
    I created a smart playlist that contains all songs that have been played more than 100 times and clicked on the "plays" column so that it lists the most played down to the least played. Then I sync my ipod and the smart playlist shows up listing the fewest to the most on my ipod.
    How do I get both smart playlists to be in the same order, both in itunes and on my ipod?
    Thanks,

    You should be able to option/right click on the playlist name and click *Copy to Play Order* which, after syncing, should give you the order you desire.
