help i just lost all my photos on my ibook and i was wondering if i can restore them from the pictures in my ipod 5g 60 g. it's like 2000 photos so i'm sorta freaking out. is this possible and will they be the same quality. please help with any suggestions for how this would work or anyother methods of help thank you.
 
well you SHOULD be able to. i have no personal experience with pictures on an iPod, but if its possible to get music from an iPod to a Mac, then it must be possible for the photos too. how do u get them on in the first place? if it your computer wont erase them when you plug the iPod back in (if its like Auto update or something) then that will give you some time. just dont panic
 
I don't think that they will be the same quality. Itunes scales them down when it puts them on there.
 
Well, as that article says:

Now, if I’d set up my iTunes preferences to “Include full-resolution photos,” full-size copies of all the photos would have been easily accessible via the Photos folder of my iPod—I could have just connected my iPod to any computer (responding “No” to iTunes’ offer to link the iPod to the new computer, of course), put the iPod into disk mode, and then grabbed the photos. But I don’t generally use the full-rez option—full-resolution versions of all the photos in my iPhoto library would take up nearly as much space as my music!

What about the lower-resolution versions iTunes converts and then stores on your iPod for slideshows? They’re stored in .ithmb files on your iPod (in the folder /Photos/Thumbs). These files can contain hundreds of images, and each image is stored at several resolutions, the largest of which is 720 x 480...
