Photos from iPod to Laptop

I'm using iPod to transfer photos from one Mac to another. They were uploaded from iPhoto following directions, and downloaded to the second computer using iPod as an external drive. However only 23 photos out of hundreds downloaded. I get the message, "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." These files are listed:
/Volumes/name/Photos/Thumbs
/Volumes/name/Photos/Photo Database
I'm assuming it's the database file that's the problem, but why would some photos download and not the rest? Opening the Photos folder in the iPod icon, there are only two items. The Photo Database is shown as a Unix file. There are only six thumbs in that folder, and they are all Unix as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

This question was answered on the iPhoto list.

    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:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • How do i transfer photos from my mac laptop to my iphone?

    how do i transfer my photos from my mac laptops to my iphone

  • I have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    i have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The photo sync is one way -  computer to iphone.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • 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!

    Hi, thanks for replying my question!
    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.

  • 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.
