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

how do you transfer photos from ipod to computer?

See here for photos taken with the iPod: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If these were photos that you synced to the device via iTunes, then you'll need to download third party software to help get them off your iPod.

Photos from ipod to computer - thumbs?

i am trying not to panic... i transferred photos from my recent trip to a laptop, then onto my ipod...now i want to get them on my desktop as they've been deleted from the laptop. in using as external disc, drap and drop photo folder to desktop... the files are "Thumbs" - .ithmb files... please tell me they are not compressed thumbnails only... i see the files are rather large. but i can't open them with anything on my windows system. help?

i am answering my own question! thru another thread, i was able to find what i needed to know so i am posting the info here.
to be able to get full res files onto the ipod, you have to enable transfer of the jpegs in your settings when you upload the pic files. otherwise, the ipod just creates thumbnails to fit the ipod.

Transferring photos from ipod photo to mac

i've transferred photos from camera to ipod using apples cammera connector. how do i now get these onto my powerbook? I've done this before, but have forgotten.
thanks,

An iPod nano is not a camera, so you can't do that with iPhoto.
There is a setting that relates to your question. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Photos tab. There is a checkbox there, that says Include full-resolution photos. If that setting was checked WHEN you synced the photos to your iPod, then the iPod will have a copy of photo files at full-resolution. To retrieve them, Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab. Open the iPod's storage as a "disk," and look for the image files in Photos folder.
If that setting was NOT already checked, then the iPod only has a low-resolution database of "thumbnails" instead of the photos; they are optimized to fit the very small screen on the nano (and save storage space). They are not in a format that can be used directly on a computer. There may be third-party utilities that can retrieve the images as individual files, but they would look terrible blown up to computer screen size. The way they are converted and stored on the iPod, each image is only meant to look decent on the iPod's tiny screen.

Transferring songs from iPod to computer (new hard drive)

My hard drive crashed and won't be able to backup all my music/songs that are not purchased from iTunes. How would I transfer all the songs from my iPod to my new hard drive (PC)? Is there any possibility?

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Transfering music from iPod to computer (Itunes)

Hi,
My computer have crashed. I have now replaced the broken harddisc and installed SW. I only have my music in my iPod now. How do I trigger a transfer from my iPod to iTunes, it doesn't happen by it self when the iPod is connected and listed in iTunes?
I currently got music and filmes in the iPod. And I do not want to loose any of it, just get it copied over to iTunes.

File transfers (photos) from iPod to Powerbook

Hi all-posted this as well in iPhoto...not sure best place to have it addressed:
I recently used my iPod as a hard drive (as I needed my logic board replaced) so I transferred all my files onto it. Now that I'm transferring my files back to my Powerbook G4, I'm struggling to get all my pictures back into iPhoto. I've read thru many posts on this topic and am still struggling. I dragged my iPhoto library (from iPod) onto iPhoto window and it tranferred my pics (and then some!!). It seemed to make duplicates of all of them, some of which were of poor quality. But, my albums (about 10 of them) were not imported. Can I import my albums? Or do I have to create new ones with my pics again? Thanks in advance.
Dino

Dino,
I can't say for certain, but here's my somewhat-educated guess.
You successfully made a copy of your entire iPhoto library onto your iPod. All good. This copy contains your photos as well as the album contents, etc.
But when you copied everything back to your Mac by dragging that iPhoto folder from your iPod, the results were confusing. Technically, they're correct, but it's not the result you wanted. Basically, you told iPhoto to take the backup folder, find each image inside, and add it to a new iPhoto library on your computer. So your photos were added to iPhoto, but so were the thumbnail images that iPhoto generated the first time around (those are the low-quality photos you see now in iPhoto). And since the drag-and-drop step only copied your images, it makes sense that your album data did not migrate over.
What I would suggest it the following:
- on your Mac, start by quitting iPhoto, then find your iPhoto directory and rename it (do not delete it! just rename it). Should go from "/Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto Library" to something like "iPhoto Library unused"
- then drag a copy of the backup iPhoto folder from your iPod to your Mac through Finder (iPhoto is still not running).
- on your Mac, name that copied folder to the same name that the original iPhoto Library was named. So it would be under "/Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto Library"
- start up iPhoto and see what's what. If things worked, iPhoto will still know about your albums and other photo settings.
If this didn't work, I would say it's probably a better use of your time to just manually rebuild your iPhoto library (delete the junk quality images, and recreate your albums by hand).
Hope that helps,
Kaan

Taking photos from ipod to computer

i put some photos on my ipod from my friends computer and i couldnt figure out how to put them on my computer! so i was just wondering if anyone could tell my how if possible!

Well, as with any files from an ipod, transferring back to your computer isn't a feature you can process through itunes.
What I suggest, is open up your ipod as if you would open up your local disk drive (through my computer or explorer or what not), make sure to "show hidden files" and peruse through there for a "picture" folder
you should be able to transfer those pictures back that way, as they should be stored on there as they would be a thumb drive

There are a few third-party programs that can do this for you.
CopyPodPhoto, for example, can transfer your iPod's photos to your computer.

Getting Photos from iPod on computer

We bought TWO new iPods 5th Gen. 60 GB. Of course for the music options but also for the photo options, because one of us is a 'heavy' digital photographer, especially on holidays. We THOUGHT (reading about promised options by Apple!) we could put photos on the iPod (with the connector), look at them, delete the ones we don't like directly from the iPod and once home export the photos from the iPod to the hard disk of our computer to do some 'Photoshopping'.....
Nada, nothing, not possible!!!
I/we are furious because we spent a lot of money but can't use the iPod like any ordinary Memory Thing.
Apple people admit this is a:
'NOT-SO-RIGHT-THING-AND-HOPE-THE-COMPANY-WORKS-ON-SOME-SOFTWARE-TO-SOLVE-THIS-PR OBLEM'!!!
We feel being cheated!
I'm going to bring this problem (false info about possibilities of an iPod) into the attention of all consumer organisations/TV-programs/newspapers in The Netherlands!
IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS FOUND A WAY TO DO WHAT WE WANT:
1:Delete (bad)photos directly from the iPod without the
iPod being connected to a computer.
2:Export photos from the iPod to the computer.
3:Do 1&2 and be able to see the photos on the iPod.
We would be very grateful to the one who can help out.

In iTunes there is an option to open the iPod as a hardrive. Then you can transfer photos to your computer. See also this which tells you what to do: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301059
There is no way to delete photos from your iPod without connecting it first.
