I've found an old iPod when I was dusting, it was purchased in 2006, I don't know its model. After connecting to the power, it still works, and I found the old photos , musics etc. I'd like to know how I can transfer those photos/musics/videos to the PC?
 
This one takes me back.

If you copied the photos as full-resolution, there should be a photos folder in the main directory.

I forget exactly where, but if you turn on hidden folders and peek around, you'll find a Music folder. This has all of the music and videos. The names will be scrambled though, but I think iTunes can sort them out.
 
Senuti (iTunes written backwards) is software which allows music to be transferred from an iPod to desktop / laptop.

Do a Google search for Senuti and it's alternatives

First, installing iTunes, and second, connect the iPod to the PC, am I correct?

And then??

iTunes isn't essential but I'd install it to make sure you have the drivers for the iPod. You'll need to enable hidden folders on the computer, and then there should be Photos and Music folders on the iPod when you open it in Explorer.
