Viewing photos on a 30gb iPod

I have loaded 35 full res photos onto my 5G 30gb iPod . It shows that there are 50.6mb of photos on the Summary tab, but when I disconnect my iPod, I can't actually view them on the iPod - all I get in the Photos menu are the options for slideshow, etc. The photos are in jpeg format, so I can;t see why I can;t view them. I've been through the discussions, but can't see the answer I need. Help?!?

i'm having the same problem, i've tried reseting the ipod and nothing happened. Then i tried to restore it on itunes, but i didn't even have the "restore" button it was on about! I'm getting majorly fed up with it to be honest, this thing has had nothing bu problems.

    Thank you for your reply . The folder I am synching to is located on my desktop . I have tried to synch to the same folder from the my documents folder and from the my pictures folder . I read / watched the info you suggested . Is it possible that my problem is itunes does not have 'write' access to the folder I am synching to ? How would I enable write access to the folder . I do not see the option in the folder properties menu . I noticed the folder is identified as read only in the properties menu . also i have noticed that the ipod photo cache folder created in the photos folder contains multiple folders , some of which contain ithmb files and a photo database file .

  • Deleting photos from your 30gb ipod

    I have recently put some put some pictures on my 30gb ipod but would like to now remove them. However, i have tried and tried but dont seem capable of doing this!!Could someone please tell me how to remove these pictures so my ipod holds none...any help would be greatly appreciated...cheers.

    just remove the pictures in the folder where you sync your ipod to.
    in ipod preferrences, photo tab, you specify what folder ipod gets pics from, right? just go to that folder and erase them OR browse to another new folder

  • What do I need to view photos on tv from ipod?

    Is there a specific cord or something that i need? I have the 30 gig iphoto ipod.

    The manual for the original iPod photo (the 30GB unit) says it should have come with an AV cable. So perhaps yours has gotten lost; if so, you'll have to buy a new one. It's officially referred to as the "Apple iPod AV Cable" and they're $19.00 US from the Apple Store.

  • Need to get photos OFF of 30GB iPod Photo onto Windows XP computer

    I recently used my iPod camera connector to store about 200 pictures on my iPod. Now I need to copy them to my computer. I cannot get the files to transfer. They don't show up when I view my iPod as a disc drive (I could see "roll 2" "roll 3" but there was nothing behind the folder). I read on other posts to change my ipod settings on itunes to "disc mode" but I have been unable to figure out how to do that.
    I would prefer not to use outside software, so if you have solutions that don't require any, I would like to hear those first.
    Thank you for the help!

  • Viewing photos using DLO HomeDock for iPod

    I just purchased an iPod 60G and am trying to view photos on my tv using the DLO HomeDock for iPod. I am able to get the audio to come through the tv but cannot view photos or video. I have the AV cables hooked up correctly and even have an S-Video cable hooked in. Does anyone have any insight as to why I can't view my photos? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 6GB Zen Micro Photo same price as 30GB iPod pho

    I do like Creative, but I do not understand why Creative has been suggesting that their new Zen Micro Photo will be priced at US$350. That is a full hundred dollars more than the current 6GB Player, and the same price as the iPod Photo with more than 3x the storage and a larger screen. Also, a color screen Dell MP3 is available for $200.
    Maybe Creative is planing another price mark-down: lowing the price of the current micros into the $50 range and putting the Zen Micro Photo in the $250 range.
    Anyway, I was just curious on what your opinion was. Would you buy the ZM Photo 6GB for $350 or for the same price, the 30GB iPod Photo Why do you think the ZM Photo is priced so high?

    Well I'm only guessing, but I think we'll see a price drop in line with the other Micro price dro
    ps.
    Creative so far have been pretty quick to get their prices in line with Apple etc. I can't see things changing. I think the initial pricing for the Micro Photo was before the recent price dro

  • Ipod freezes when viewing photos

    I got a new Ipod yesterday and when I try to view the photos after uploading them to the ipod it will freeze about half way down when I view all the photos in the photo library and the last 12 months catagory. im using a macbook and the photos are stored in Iphoto.

    I deleted a couple photos in the area the ipod freezes but it still freezes. Resetting it does nothing but restarts the ipod and then it still freezes when I go back and veiw the photos in through photo library and last 12 months. I created folders to group the photos to test the ipod and see if it will freeze when I view the same photos the ipod is freezing on when I veiw them in "photo library and 12 months". And the Ipod does not freeze when I view the photos in their gruoped folders. So it can't be a corrupted file, can it?

  • Can I view photos imported to iPod using Apple iPod Camera Connector

    Hi,
    I have an iPod photo and iPod video.
    I also have the Belkin Digital Camera Link that I use to downloand photos from my Digital Camera to my iPod whilst away from my computer.
    When photos are imported onto the iPod using the Belkin device I can't view the photos on the iPod.
    Is this the same case with the Apple Camera Connector?
    It would be worth buying if it meant the photos were instantly viewable on the iPod.
    Many Thanks.

    How did the photos get on the iPod? If they were synced from another computer you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.

  • IPod Restarts When Viewing Photos (Every 1 out of 3 times)!

    When I try to view my photos (mainly doing a slide show), the IPod unit will restart. One time, the unit froze and I had to perform a manual reset. I have not seen a resolution yet in the forums. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    An Update for what it is worth, and still with no resolution. It appears that I have the auto restart issue only when I view photos and I have previously configured the slide show to turn on music using my music library on the Ipod. If I view photos and it is working ok. with the music playing in the background, and then I leave photos to go listen to my normal music library, and then I come back to viewing photos again, when I start the photo slide show at this point, this is where the Apple restart occurs. I have been able to isolate this down on both my Ipod and my wife's Ipon Nanao Special Editions. Any body else having this problem? When I turn off the background music under the photo slide show preferences, I can go on with photos all I want with no auto restart. So for now, no more back ground music in my photo slide shows.

  • IPod displaying black screen when I want to view photos

    Hi,
    here's the thing I wasn't able to find a solution yet. I synced some photo album from iPhoto to iPod nano 4gb (3rd gen). When navigating to photos with nano I see the album and inside the photos thumbnails but when I enter into the photo full screen mode to view photo nano just displays a black screen... no photo ...
    Am I doing something wrong?

    I did an update that my Macbook required and it sorted itself out, hope it works out for you.

  • PC to Mac transfer photos and Music from ipod photo 30gb

    My pc crashed and I got a mac, I don't know how to transfer music and photos to my new mac. I've read, something about senuti with an ipod shuffle. I want to know if its the same process to follow?
    Any help will be great

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • IPod - view photos with diff music

    I have several diff photo albums on my ipod. I have it set to playmusic.
    But I would like to play different music with the different photo albums(not random songs but a specific, diff song for each specific photo album). It plays the same song for all of the photo albums).
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    SA

    In slide show settings, set the music to "Now Playing". Then start playing a song on your iPod, but as soon as it starts, pause it. Then go into your photos, find the album, start the song and then start playing the slideshow.
