Photos on iPod I have a very old iPod and I have over 14,000 pictures on it, I cannot transfer them to a computer, when I open the DCIM folder it say there are no files however I have over 20gb of photos on it. I really want to transfer them because I recently both my dogs a month apart and there are literally hundreds of photos of them on this iPod. Is there any way I can transfer them, iTunes does not recognize the iPod and I think its because it is so old, tech has moved on. I tried transferring them to the Photo stream but I cannot transfer them there either, and I cannot air drop them, the only thing I have managed to do is email a few to myself but with so many it would take me years of constant emailing. I would really love to get those photos onto my computer or at least another hard drive because I am worried the iPod is going to fail one day and they will be lost forever. Can anyone help please Lee D

Hello,

I am sorry, there is no way to recover this data as it was synchronized from a computer.

Hello,

Were these photos synchronized originally from a Macintosh or Windows PC? If so then these cannot be recovered.
