Confused in the Lou

Q: Please Help! Need to download  9K Fam Photos from 1st Gen iPod...and nothing works!

I have a first generation iPod that I lost but was found by a lady who bought my couch! We lost 9K family photos and she gave us the device back with all of them on there!

 

That's the good news. Now the bad. I'm running version 1.1.5 (4B1) (model #: Ma627LL), and I have read all the articles about updating, restoring, etc.

 

Here is the problem: I can't restore/reset the iPod or I will lose the photos. It is so old, there is not even an option (obviously) to back-up to the cloud, and when I try to connect to iTunes it says (the device is not responding - or something like that). When I open up iPhotos on my Mac it just constantly runs and says "Loading" but nothing happens.

 

I'm afraid if I download the new software (iPod Touch MA627LL won't update to latest firmware) I will lose the pictures. That can't happen!

 

I can't back up to the cloud, nor to iTunes, and I can't get the pictures off? What do I do?

 

Thanks so much!
