ITunes and iPhoto won't sync or upload photos from my iPod

I have photos in my 1st generation iPod that I would like to remove and place on my computer.
When I hook up the iPod to my mini mac and open iPhoto, I am unable to import the images into the library.  It won't allow me to choose the Photos Database file or the two .ithmbs files in the Photos folder.
When I tried to sync the iPod, it tells me that the existing images on my computer will override and delete the existing photos in the iPod.
How can I convert the .ithmb files to .jpg and remove them from the iPod?
All the forum info and converters I find online are for Windows and I don't see anyone having this issue on a Mac.
Any advice would be helpful since I need to return this iPod to Apple soon due to the 1st gen iPod Nano battery recall.
Thanks,
Blue

If all existing converters are for Windows why don't you copy your ITHMB files to Windows and use the converters?

    I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

  • TS3540 iTunes and iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone when plugged into my mac.

    iTunes and iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone 4S, or my wife's iPhone 4 when pluged into my MAC.  I am running OSX v10.5.8, and both iPhones have the latest version of iOS.  I tried a few of the other trouble shooting tips from the community, but nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

  • ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

    Because Apple have designed it that way.
    It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.

  • HT201317 Why did my iPod automatically upload photos from another iPod?

    I stumbled upon "my photo stream" on my iPod and I found a lot of pictures not from my iPod and few from my iPod in the photo stream. I didn't know most of the people in the photos and some of the pictures were very crude. I'm just wondering how my iPod downloaded a bunch of photos that's were not mine onto my iPod and mixed them in with some of my photos.

    Try download iPod Disk or senuti. These are very helpful programs that allow you to recover files from your iPod. If you really don't want your iPod to sync, open Activity Monitor, (Located in the applications folder in the utilities folder or spotlight search) and find iTunes helper. Click force quit, then open up accounts in system preferences, and click the - button for iTunes helper.
    Hope this helps

  • TS4062 My Ipod classic isn't recognised by Itunes and it won't sync. I have tried everything-please help!

    I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
    When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
    I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
    Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

  • I bought a movie on itunes and it won't sync to computer - it says the computer's not authorized

    The computer is authorized and I can transfer all other purchased movies and TV shows.  Just not the most recent.

    Have you tried signing out and then signing back into your account on the iPad? Settings>Store>Apple ID>Sign Out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account again and then see if the movie will sync.
    Another thing that you can try is transfer purchases from your iPad to the iTunes library and then try to sync.
    I realize that you want to sync a movie from iTunes on your computer to the iPad, but I am just trying to think of a way to "reset" your iTunes account and get everything back in order again.
    You tried restarting the iPad and resetting it as well? Quitting iTunes, restart your computer and then try again?
    One other thing that is really a long shot but you can try it - and it works for third party apps that are crashing - download an app - any free app - that is supposed to reset some security issue in your iTunes account and maybe that would work in this case.

    Only if you are permitted to re-download it from the source. There's nothing we can suggest to help you. There is no undelete software, but there are a number of data recovery utilities like iPod Data Recovery Software | Lost / Deleted Data Recovery for iPod.
