If you turn viewing of hidden folders on, you should be able to get them manually from the photos folder on the iPod.

To enable this, open Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

Then Option-Command-Esc and restart Finder

Thanks for the assist on that one :p I turned mine on back when I got the computer and forgot where the command was. I was looking for a check box like on my work WinXP machine, whoops...

No problem ...

To turn the files off again, just replace the YES in the command with NO

Did you run the Terminal commands to see hidden files?

I did follow the above instructions. I see the photos folder in the ipod, but inside there are only 'thumbs' and photo database, which opens up with the terminal

On the database, can you right-click and Show Package Contents ...?

downloaded senuti, but do not see the photos as an option to drag and drop over...just the tunes and playlists

If they are on the iPod doesn't that mean they were converted, so will be of reduced quality anyhow?

Obviously if that is your only copy though you don't really have any other options. No backups at all?

I have the same problem... senuti will not work with the touch or iPhone right now..

I have NO backups... the last time I backed up to the external HD it malfunctioned and I was waiting to to buy a new one but then i had computer issues and well.....

anyone else have any other suggestions that will work with the iPod Touch?

On the Touch, can you just sync them off with iTunes like you would an iPhone or no?
