Senuti review and alternatives software#

iTunes/iPhoto will not sync such photos back upwards, as they are presumed to already exist on the Mac or PC. I get the feeling that the 13,000 photos on the iPod Touch started off in an iPhoto library.

I'm guessing that those photos have names that follow the DCIM conventions, so they show up in the same way as photos taken with other digital cameras. If you plug an iPod Touch into its iTunes/iPhoto 'host', photos taken with the iPod Touch's camera will sync upwards to iPhoto. Be aware that there is a lot of scamware that claims to do it, so don't pick the first thing that shows up in a search, as it's quite likely to be garbage. There are free apps that can do it, but I don't remember what they are. Senuti (iTunes spelled backwards) is one such utility but it isn't free. If that other system no longer has the images and you don't have any backups (which is what it sounds like), you'll need one of the iPod extraction utilities. However, they are at a minimum in the iTunes backup and quite possibly elsewhere on that computer. I forgot that the early iPod touches lacked a camera, which means those photos would had to have been synced from another computer and won't show up in iPhoto or Lightroom or similar. Plugging the iPod into a computer shows photos that originated on the device (from its camera or a screen shot). I have tried numerous leads and different Macs and PCs.Ī 1st gen iPod touch didn't have a camera.

Use whatever software you would normally use for managing photos, such as iPhoto or Lightroom. Plug it into a computer and it shows up as a standard digital camera.

Does anyone know of a way to get photos (13 thousand of them!) off a 1st Gen iPod Touch onto a Mac or PC.
