Photos stuck on my ipod

My computer's installation of windows got corrupted.
I had to reinstall.
This caused me to loose all the music and photos I had downloaded to my IPod.
I have been able to get my music off of it, but I can't seem to get the photos off.
When I ccess the IPod as a harddrive I just get a bunch of thumbnail files, not the actual files.
It should be possible to get them back, I mean. They are just pictures. I was using my IPod as a backup up drive.
Little help? Please?

When I ccess the IPod as a harddrive I just get a bunch of thumbnail files, not the actual files.
Because the actual files are not on the iPod unless you had Copy full resolution pictures to iPod checked in the prefs.
If you did, there will be a Photos folder on the iPod with the pix. If there's no folder, you didn't have it checked and you don't have the originals, only the smaller, optimized pix.

  • Apple wiped my ibook, my stuff is stuck on my ipod. Help!

    Hello,
    My ibook had the logic board problems and Apple has had it for three weeks now. I went out and bought a Mac Mini to use while the ibook is away.
    I called and they told me they had wiped the ibook's hard drive. Now all my music, photos, and contacts are stuck on my Ipod. Is there any way I can move all of that stuff safely onto my new new Mac Mini and then onto my ibook when it comes back (some day)?
    Thanks,
    Christine

    These links will give you
    i several
    methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search if the links below leave you wanting…

    After recovering your song files, consider developing a backup strategy for just this type of situation. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is
    i not
    considered having any backup. Backup both the music files
    i and
    the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). Below are some very good threads to read on the subject:

  • Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

    Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
    Anybody know what's up with this?

    Thanks again TD
    I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
    Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
    I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
    My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
    I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
    (As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
    I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
    Thoughts welcome.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

  • How do I put a photo on to my iPod Touch from iPhoto

    On my Mac Mini, running SL OSX 10.6.8, is iPhoto '09 v. 8.1.2. and iTunes v. 11.0.2. I've got an old iPod Touch 16GB running v. 2.2.1.
    I want to move a photo from iPhoto onto my iPod Touch, which used to be simple. However, now when I open iTunes, the photo option is no longer there, so how do I move a photo on to my iPod now?
    So I need to go back to an older version of iTunes?

    When you plug in the iPod open up Iphoto on your Mac and then in the left hand column under devices you should see your iPod. Click on this then you will see all the photos on your iPod. Click on the photos you want to transfer and Voila there you go.
    Besides,there are some articles about iPod Photo Transfer, which can help you transfer pictures from iPhone.

  • Syching Photos from Itunes to Ipod Photo 30G

    I am having the worst time syching my photos from my PC computer to my ipod photo. I am using my family computer because my laptop is kaput.
    I am starting over...from scratch. Deleted everything on my ipod and hoping to synch it all back on there from point blank.
    I have succesfully synched my music. --playlists still in progress but that is my problem!
    I am having trouble synching my photos back onto my ipod. It shows no progress just says "Syncing iPod. Do not Disconnect." And it kills be because I started out with about 15,000 pics to sync...I've taken it down to only 15 and it is still not doing what I want it too.
    Maybe I should be more paitent but I don't remember it ever being this slow or without any progression showing on the screen.
    What can I do, what am I doing wrong? What should I do?!
    Help! Please!

    In case you still didn't get this to work, I found that iTunes didn't have permissions writing to the iPod photo cache directory on my Vista machine by default.
    If you suspect that's happening for you, go ahead and try this:
    1) Find the directory on your computer where the "iPod Photo Cache" is stored.
    2) On that directory, grant "Read" and "Write" access to the "Users" group.
    After that, try synching your photos, and hopefully you'll start to see some success...

  • Can't get photos from iPhoto to iPod

    My iPod software won't recognize my iPhoto library so I can't synch pictures. When I select the iPod Option to synchronize photos from iPhoto and do an iPod update, it doesn't transfer and photos from iPhoto and in fact it unchecks the synchronize photos option in the iPod software. I'm using a 60GB video iPod w/the current iPod software, iTunes 6.0.1, iPhoto 5.0.4 on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.4.3.

    Archyeon:
    Here's how to do it:
    Getting Photos from iPhoto 5 to an iPod
    create a special Album in iPhoto for the Nano and place those photos in it you want on the iPod.
    connect the Nano to the Mac and when mounted in iTunes open iTunes' preferences and go to the iPod Photos section - Figure 1.
    scroll down till you see the album and select it. If you don't want the full sized image files to be copied to the Nano do not select the Include full-resolution photos box.
    close the preferences and when the syncing is completed dismount the Nano and then disconnect from the Mac.

  • HT1363 important photos are stored on ipod but I no longer have the laptop it was synced to can I retrieve them?

    Hi I have a 1st Gen ipod and have photos of a family member who is no longer with us stored on it. I don't have the laptop I used to connect to this IPod any more. Can I retrieve the photos to a new computer or somewhere I could print them off?
    Thanks in advance for any help. This really is important to me.

    A "1st Gen ipod" did not have photo capability, so it must be at least an iPod Photo (4th gen iPod) or later.  The information I provide below applies, as long as your iPod is NOT an iPod touch.
    The iPod's screen is quite small, so when you sync photos to it, iTunes converts them to a special format that reduces the resolution of the photo to fit the small screen.  This saves storage space used on iPod.  If you were to transfer the image back to your computer, the low resolution would make it look horribly pixilated when blown up to computer display size.  I think there are third-party utilities that can convert and transfer the images files back to the computer, but there is no way to do it using iTunes.
    If you used a specific setting when syncing the photos to the iPod, then you can retrieve them at the original resolution.  The setting is on the Photos tab for the iPod, in iTunes when you select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It is a checkbox that says Include full-resolution photos.  If that setting was enabled when you synced the photos to the iPod, then you will be able to retrieve them at the original full resolution. 
    What you do is Enable disk use, which is a setting on the Summary tab.  This makes the iPod's storage appear as a "disk" to the system.  You can then use your computer's OS to open the iPod, like it was a flash drive, to find a folder called Photos folder inside.  In that folder, you can find any full resolution image files that were previously synced, which you can copy to your computer's hard drive.  But again, that Include full-resolution photos setting needed to be enabled at the time you synced the photos to the iPod.

  • I just yesterday purchased an iPhone. I was transferring photos and using my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it this morning perfectly fine and right now I clicked on the screen and it took me back to the very beginning start up. Can I get my photos bak

    I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..

    You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • Retrive my photos and music from ipod

    my windows xp computer completely crashed and all my music especially my photos are on my ipod.now i have an i mac and
    i want to put the photos and music in to the imac how will i do that i tried using a program called keith's photo reader but the photos come up as a big blur and the rest of my photos arent there there are only a couple.
    anyone have any ideas on how to get all of my *photos and music* safely !!!

    Fortunately, you are going from Windows to Mac.  Macs can use the Windows disk format, so your iMac can read data off of your Windows-formatted iPod.  The reverse would not be true, because a Windows PC cannot read data off of a Mac-formatted iPod.
    However, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to sync song files from iPod to computer.  But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the songs files are on your iMac's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.
    NOTE:  Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.  If that is possible (you still have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact), and want to try that (instead of using your iPod as the data source), you can post back.
    Photos are different.  When iTunes syncs photos to the iPod, they are optimized for the iPod's small screen and stored in a single database file (to save storage space in iPod).  Therefore, the images are at lower resolution on the iPod, and there is no way to extract individual photos from the database using software on your iMac.  The only exception is IF you had a setting enabled in iTunes when you synced the photos to the iPod.  That setting is on the iPod's Photos screen in iTunes (where you set up syncing for photos) for Include full resolution photos when syncing.  If that option was checked, you can enable disk use for the iPod and look in the Photos folder using Finder to retrieve the photos. 
    NOTE:  There may be third-party software that can extract individual photos from the iPod's database file.  But they will still be the lower res versions of the original photos.

  • PC to Mac transfer photos and Music from ipod photo 30gb

    My pc crashed and I got a mac, I don't know how to transfer music and photos to my new mac. I've read, something about senuti with an ipod shuffle. I want to know if its the same process to follow?
    Any help will be great

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few 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. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Photo stuck in web gallery

    I currently have no photos published in my web gallery. However, I have one photo stuck in my gallery. How can I remove this photo?

    In iPhoto when you go to preferences ==> gallery what does it show? If the gallery shows as being published there stop lublishing it and see if that helps.
    If it doe not go to the finder ==> iDisk ==> web ==> _gallery and delete the gallery folder (or the pictures in that gallery if it is just one picture you want gone) that is stuck there

  • I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone.  How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

    Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
    Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto.  Import those photos like you would import from a camera.
