Photos from ipod to imac

My hard drive crashed for my imac. It had all of our family photos for the past 3 years. We did save the photos on an ipod. Apple now says that we are not allowed to move the photos from the ipod to the new hard drive. We placed the photo folder on the desktop of the imac, but everytime we try to open the folder with iphoto, we get an error message saying that they are in the wrong format to be read. Can someone help us restore these photos? Thanks.

There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:

Will Mountain Lion allow the transfer of photos from iPod to iMac?

Hi
I'm aware that in previous versions of OS X, one can transfer photos actually taken on an iPod touch, but not those previously sent to the ipod by ones iMac.
I'm wondering if this inability has been overcome in Mountain Lion.
Advice welcomed.
Btw, I've located some software which will, it appears, do the job! http://www.iskysoft.com/syncpod.html
Has anyone used this software successfully? Are you aware of any other product suitable for such purpose?
Cheers!

now need to know how I get these photos onto my
P.C. I use the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
when I transfer photos from the camera to the p.c.
but cant use this for the ipod.
Why not?
If it doesn't work as you normall use it, open iTunes
prefs -> iPod and check Enable disk use.
It should show up in your program.
If is still does not, you can open the iPod (it's on
the desktop) and your photos are in the DCIM folder.

Thank you so much for your help. I've been feeling a bit dense about it all!
I managed to find the photos in the DCIM folder and from there I called each one up and copied them individually to "My Pictures". It's a bit long winded but it has the desired result which is to display them from My Pictures as a slide show on my P.C.
It's fun trying it all out, today I also managed (not quite sure how) to download some French language lessons and upload them on the ipod. I'm sure I'm probably not using the most efficient methods but I'll keep going ! Thank you once again for being so helpful.

Transfer photos from ipod to imac

How can I copy a photo on my ipod touch 2G onto my imac? The folder on my imac that I sync photos onto my ipod got deleted, but the photos are still on
my ipod. (I'm using itunes 10.3.1 )

You need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy. They are paid programs.

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod. I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
1. with the help of any android app
2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
I did try some of the options:
1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
Thank you!

If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:

If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

I backed up 6000 photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6 to new Western Digital External Engine "My Book." In attempting to COPY the pictures to My Book in order to free space on HD, I made a mistake. When I first dragged the iPhoto 11 Library folder to My

I backed up 6000+ photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6.7 to new Western Digital "My book" successfully, I think! But when I attempted to COPY my photos to it in order to free up space on my HD, I made a mistake. When I dragged the iPhoto (11) Library to My Book and re-named it to "iPhoto Library.old" nothing happened. So I dragged it again, re-named it again (same name--that was the mistake, I guess!) and then it took about an hour+ to do its thing. When finished and I launched iPhoto by holding down the Option key, the dialog window listed two libraries: "iPhoto Library.old" and iPhoto Library.old (default)". So now what? It seems that I still have the originals when I open iPhoto, and do I have two copies, also? Should I delete one of them and if so, which one and how? Or should I eliminate both of them and start over again? And if so, how do I do that? Right now, neither my HD nor the My Book have changed the number of GB available or free since before I began this process. Will the numbers only change after I actually delete my original Library AND empty the Trash? I appreciate any light you can throw on this subject for me. I could lug it all to the local Genius Bar, but now I'm afraid to unplug anything for fear I'll lose everything! Thank you, you wonderful, bright people. (An 83-year-old Grandma, trying to keep up a little, at least)

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

If the photos are the photos from the camera roll, you can import them using iPhoto or Image Capture on your Mac. You can read about it here.

Transfering photos from ipod to computer?

Hello!
i used to sync my photos in ipod with my computer. But my computer crashed and i had to change a new computer.
Then, i realised that i can't transfer the photos that are already in my ipod to my new computer. The photos in ipod are in a file format that can't be opened (photo database).
Does that mean that my photos are stuck in the ipod forever? i can't view them with the computer and i can't sync photos with the new computer as i was warned that the old photos in my ipod will be deleted.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

i saw in a post about "crashed computer" and found out that someone downloaded an application from http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplaypb/ and managed to transfer photos from ipod to computer. i downloaded it, but i still do not know how to do it.. sigh

Transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

transfer of photos from ipod to ipad via bluetooth, help

The blluetooth isn't meant to do that. It's largely meant for headphones and keyboards.
now, if you have the camera connection kit you can attach your iPod to your iPad using that (plugging the iPod's charging cable to the USB part of the CCK) and the photos will transfer. I've done it with my Touch.

No.

How do I transfer photos from iPod to Airbook ?

how do I transfer photos from iPod to Airbook ?

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

If they did happen to be full resolution photos, see this Apple support document.

I can't transfer my photos from iPod to pc.

When I transfer my photos from iPod to pc I can't open them. I have photoshop and ACDSee and other grafic programs but non of them can open the files. I need help. Please!
Thanks

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software such as the one below to get the job done. Keep in mind that your photos will no longer be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod.
