I found in cleaning my old ipod, charged it up and took a look and there are a ton of old pics that I would like to retrieve from it. iPhoto is not seeing it on there for me to off load them that way. I tried through iTunes and it just wants to erase everything. Any tips?

Thanks :-D

Does it mount as a drive in the Finder? If so, you could retrieve files that way instead of going through iTunes. You'd need to either cp things via Terminal, or you could turn on "invisible" files and walk through the directories in the Finder. TinkerTool is probably the easiest way to turn on/off the displaying of invisible files.

You might try Image Capture if it doesn't show up as a drive in Finder. I use it all the time to copy photos off my iPhone.

If iPhoto doesn't see them, Image Capture likely doesn't either — not that it isn't worth a try.
