Full resolution iPod photo option not available??

Question

Full resolution iPod photo option not available??

I want to transfer my photos to my iMac using the Full-resolution photo option so I can then transfer them back to other computers. The problem is the full resolution option in the iPod options is greyed out. I have enabled disk access as per the iPod tutorial. What else do I need to do?

best bet would be to drag the photos onto the ipod icon that appears on your desktop when you connect it. u wont be able to view them on your ipod however you will be able to access them on other computers.

do you have any idea if there is anyway to get photos back from the iPod onto the mac if they aren't just drag coppied? I accidentally lost my mac phto library and they are on the iPod and I'd like to recover them.

Unless I misunderstand your question....

The two places (ipod and mac) where you could view your library images are displayng two different sets of data.

The iPhoto library was in one format and the iPod has only (ipod formated) thumbnails on it.

The iPod thumbnails are kept seperate from your iPhoto Library. On my machine they are in my PICTURES folder in iPod Photo cache.

Since this is not the same set of files you could not restore it.

NOW IF YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR iPHOTO LIBRARY on your iPod you could move it back to your hard drive while in disk mode to the expected location but DO YOU REALLY HAVE THAT FOLDER or do you have the thumbnails of that folder?
