Trying to get Pics off Ipod-Not mounting on New Computer

So my laptop got stolen...6 years worth of pics - Gone. They stole my backup drive too. Bummer. Good news is they didn't get my 5th gen 80g Video iPod which has my photo library on it. While waiting for my new laptop, I've set up as a new user on my wife's new white MacBook and plugged in the ipod to see if I can put it into disk mode and see if those photos are even full res or not (3,500 photos-4gig...should be, right? Not sure how I synced it before, but 4gig tells me there's gotta be some resolution there.)
Plugged the iPod in with the USB2...nothing. Didn't show up in iTunes, nor in finder. This is a brand new iTunes with nothing in it (just using this user acct/laptop as a temp) and it's never met this iPod... but then again, that's the same deal when I plug in and charge my iPhone up (don't sync it, obviously) yet it shows up in iTunes and I get the device window with all the info, color coded memory allocation, sync prefs, music, photo, info tabs..etc...but when I do the same with this iPod, no dice.
So since I could do nothing, I had to wince and unplug it and soft reset to get the frozen "Do Not Disconnect" screen off, and about had a heart attack doing so since it's the ONLY copy of my pics and music.
Anyone know why this thing isn't mounting? I also read somewhere that you can put the iPod into disc mode with a select button/click wheel sequence, so maybe I don't even need it to show up in iTunes?
Also, anyone know a good pic recovery program if that doesn't work?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about your computer. Let's hope the thief gets hit by a bus.
Yes there is a button press for manually entering disc mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

About a month ago I was trying to get the pics off my husbands phone into our icloud for printing. It recognized it as my ipod and synced to that, erasing all of his pics. We had just been on a trip to Tahiti and there were alot of pics lost. I spoke to a representative at the apple store on Friday that recommended trying something since it was backed up to my icloud. She was wanted me to try to restore the device back to that date or before. Any tips on how to do this? I have trouble right clicking and am not seeing what she was talking about. If you need to call the number is 5133103310. Thank You. Kim Poynter

Messed up trying to get songs off ipod

Okay, I really messed up. I have a 7th gen Ipod Nano. I tried to get the music off of my ipod, then put it on my computer so I could put it back on my ipod without getting it erased, if you can follow that. I went into the ipod_control folder and copied the music folder from that into the music folder on my computer. I thought I could just drop that folder back into Itunes and Itunes would sort it out. Now I have a bunch of weird numbered folders in my music folder and since I tried to drag and drop it into itunes, there is 2 gigs of "other" in Itunes that is not showing anything. If someone can help me I would be eternally grateful.

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Getting songs from iPod to iTunes on new computer...

My old computer recently crashed and all my songs that were in iTunes are currently on my iPod. I just got a new computer, how do I get the songs off my iPod into iTunes on my new computer without losing any of the songs? Please help me!!

Install iTunes on the new PC and authorise it.
Then you can copy across in various ways...
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone. So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

Lost music off ipod when connected to new computer....

Found an ipod (never had one before and don't know much about it). Plugged it into my new computer, and all the music on the ipod disappeared. Didn't show up in my iTunes library. Found some of the music in My Computer, but not all music was listed there. I thought all songs had been deleted, but iPod shows most of it's memory is still being used. Question #1: Why are only some of the songs showing in My Computer? Question #2: Is there any way to retrieve all the "lost" music? Question #3: Why is iPod memory so full if I can't see any music on the iPod? Sorry to be so clueless!

This ipod was lost at a ski resort and we gave the owner 2 years to inquire about it, which he never did. After a customer has been contacted about a lost item and doesn't reply that season, the item is donated or given to employees to pick and choose from. We gave him 2 years.
You would be suprised how many ipods, cell phones, car keys, etc. are lost and never inquired about.
I reset the ipod to it's original factory settings and have a buddy who is going to download the songs from his ipod to mine. Since we like the same type of music this will work best for me since most of the music originally on the ipod was crap anyway.
Thanks for you snide comment instead of answering my question Chris.

How to get content off AppleTV before syncing w/ new computer?

Hello,
I've got an Apple TV that's got all sorts of content on it -- much of it bought directly on the Apple TV via the iTunes Store.
The problem is that the Apple TV hasn't been "attached" or "synced" or whatever you want to call it with a computer in over a year. So there's a lot of content on the Apple TV that doesn't exist in my computer's iTunes library.
When I go to set up the relationship between the Apple TV and the computer, the Apple TV tells me that it's going to erase all it's content. Not good! I don't want to lose all things I have on there. I want them to sync back to my iTunes library.
The content I purchased on the Apple TV was bought under the same iTunes account that my computer uses, if that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It has -- unfortunately, that computer isn't around anymore which is the source of the problem. Any ideas?
there is no way around this i'm afraid. the appletv will see your new computer as a entirely new itunes library and as such if the content is not in your itunes library, it will be removed from the appletv.
this is a good example of why the appletv should not be used as a storage device, the appletv should always only ever have copies of content, and not the only copy.

HT1351 Ipod not recognized on new computer

I can see my ipod songs but when asked to sync to my new computer it wants to remove all the songs and sync to my library. I just want to download new songs and have them on my ipod too. It's 4th generation.

Get my pics off ipod touch and back onto computer

i would like to erase my ipod and get my photos off it back onto my computer. i dont know how

How did you get them on your iPod in the first place? Usually doing the reverse of that is the best way to do it.
If your pictures are in the default photos folder(pictures that you have saved directly to your iPod), then I don't know of a way to do that.
