If you own a newish iMac then it should have come with the iLife suite. This contains iPhoto. If you open iPhoto with you iPod plugged in it’ll show up on the left-hand toolbar and you can import all the photos you’ve taken on your iPod onto your Mac. It’s that simple.

So basically if you have a Mac with iLife there’s no need to use Image Capture and using iPhoto might just be more convenient depending on what you want to do with them.

I review IOS games sometimes for the site I write for and this method has always worked fine for me.

PS: If you want to put photos onto your iPod from your computer, make a new folder and put the photos in it. Then on iTunes, plug in your iPod and click it in the left toolbar. Click Photos along the top bar and use the dropdown to select the new folder. New the next time you synch the iPod all the phots will be copied over.

Thanks so SOO much for this!!! I have been wanting to take advantage of this photobook deal that’s only until the 22nd of June, so next week, & unfortunately ALL of my pictures are from my iPod Touch. I have like 1301 pics on it, so I have been STRESSING on how to get them to the computer without having to email EVERY single one, cuz THAT would take months & months…

So, THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH for this!!! It looks like it still will probably take at least a few days to get ALL my pics downloaded, but, at LEASE I now know how!!

Thanks again!!!

***Correction : It MIGHT not take a few days after all!!! It’ looks like it is actually going pretty speedy right now!!! Looks like I’ll be able to create those photo books after all!!!***
