here you go man.

put Ipod into "disk mode" and connect to computer.
xfer the photos (you will have to hunt for them sorry) and you will be good to go.
You will have to rename the photos again but you will at least have them.
You can do the same for the music (the filenames have changed but the metadata should be the same)

just let it copy everything and then sort though it.. there is no easy process but you might check out one of the headline stories from today

but copying everything over like you are is the best bet imho. more time consuming but you don't run the risk of loosing.
once copied (everything) I would try some of the other options
