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 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

Isn't that possible with iPhoto? I read that somewhere..

Did you run the Terminal commands to see hidden files?

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 ...?

transfer photos FROM iphone TO imac

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?

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

From personal experience I can recommend i Explorer. Works with all i devices including iPods. plug the iPod into the mac, launch the app and click extract photos. it will extract them to the folder location you want.
