5th Gen Ipod does not show photo tab under preferences

I am trying to get pics onto my Ipod. The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date? Is anyone having this problems?

can you check something for me? what icon is showing up in the itunes sourcelist? is it a wee picture of your 5th G, or does it look quite different?
what version of the firmware is being cited in the "summary" tab you see when you select the ipod in the sourcelist? is that the same version that you see in the "About" screen on your ipod?
Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?

  • 5th generation IPOD won't show PHOTOS tab

    Hi. I hope someone can help. I can't get the Photo tab to display when I connect my video IPOD. I know it works because I am able to add my photos using automatic sync. I've tried on 2 different pc's to no avail. I have also removed and reinstalled Itunes and restored my IPOD. I have searched forums for several days and can't find an answer.
    Has anyone heard of this problem?
    Thanks for your time.

    okay. while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the itunes sourcelist, and the ipod is selected, you should be seeing a "Summary" tab in your main library window. the photos tab is about the fourth or fifth tab in that display.
    here's a link to a screenshot of where i see attractive beast's Photos tab showing up. (since you've got a 5th gen ipod you should also be seeing a "Videos" tab in there.)

  • 5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

    My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
    Any suggestions?

    I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

  • 5th gen Ipod does not load video on Itunes

    My 5th gen color Ipod recently began having problems when I updated Itunes software.
    The video that is on my Itunes library does not transfer when synced to Ipod.
    Video on Macbook plays but is not recognized by Ipod and does not load.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Check your settings for sync. The default for videos are that only unwatched videos get synced.

  • 5th generation ipod does not show up on itunes

    I have tried reinstalling itunes and the ipod hardware many times but there is still the same problem. The ipod showed up once before but since that time itunes has not recognized the ipod as being connected to the computer. Is there something wrong with my usb port??

    I have bumped into this problem as well, check the following things:
    - Do you have a USB 2.0?
    - Is there any device conflicting with the drive which is designed to iPod? For instance, I had my iPod ben put under C:\. Apparently iTunes thought that was my harddisk. In Control Panel> Computer Management you can change the name of your drivers. Call iPod M:\ or something.
    Doesn't this work? Apple has a Troubleshooter on its website called "iPod recognised in Windows, not recognised in iTunes" or something like that (easy to find). Good luck!

  • Itunes freezes when connecting and ipod does not show up

    When I connect my nano 3rd gen in windows vista using itunes 9 my ipod does not show up and itunes freezes. the ipod remains with the connected screen and I cannot close out of itunes. Any help would be wonderful... Thanks!!

    I have (finally)solved the problem with my iTunes freezing! Here's what I did:
    1.I backed up my entire music library to an external hard drive.
    2.Then I completely uninstalled iTunes 9 from my computer.
    3.After a re-boot I then completely deleted my entire music library. (this can be a little scary so I double checked my music library back up on the external drive)
    4.I Googled iTunes 8 and found it at
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/
    5. I downloaded it but before I installed it I copied my music library back to my computer. I did not copy everything that was in my original iTunes music folder however, I only copied the music,album art work, applications,games,Tv shoes, and podcasts folders. I placed those folders in a new folder called iTunes on my computer. I did not include any of the iTunes database files eg: .itl / .xml / or .itdb files as these were created in iTunes 9.
    6. Now I opened iTunes 8.2 and added all of my music and other media content.
    7. Next I attached my iPod nano to my computer. Then Windows automaticly open a window asking me if I wanted to scan for problems or continue without scanning. I had windows scan for problems and once that was done my iPod nano began to sync. Oh what joy!
    I think, and this is only a guess based on what I've read here on Apple's discussion pages and my own experience, that there is a problem/conflict or bug with iTunes 9, Windows Vista and the 3rd -4th generation iPod. I will NOT be upgrading to iTunes 9 until Apple has addressed this issue. It seems to me that there are a lot of people having similar issues.

  • My iPod does not show artists if they're in a compilation album anymore. How do I get them back?

    My iPod does not show artists if they're in a compilation album anymore. How do I get them back?

    You can find the Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Ipod does not show up in I-tunes and does not allow me to Restore

    My Ipod does not show up in I-tunes since I switched from my desktop to the laptop. When I connect to the laptop I-tunes freezes and stops responding. I have tried to update or restore my I-pod to start anew with my laptop but I get a message that says "Firmware update failure, disk write error"! My ipod still works but I cannot update my songs or sync it to the new laptop. Am I totally out of luck or can something be done to save this. Dont these come with a year warranty? Can Apple fix this if it is beyond my help?

    well done pezdzpnzer!
    Unfortunately I am not able to take advantage of the USB 2.0. Is this permanent or did I just have to turn it off originally.
    hmmm. now the initial synch has gone through, we might try experimenting with re-enabling the high speed interface (mentioned at the end of the other document.
    it may also be worth checking up on this document:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    if the problem comes back/persists, it might be worth heading to the Toshiba website and checking for updates for your make and model. on some Toshiba laptops there was a general issue with the USB that was fixed by a BIOS update, and that helped with the ipod connection issues ... but the reports i saw here (a few months ago) didn't mention a specific model as far as i recall.

  • IPhoto does not show photos in my iPhone

    Hi!
    As the title has said, my iPhoto does not show photos from my iPhone, but it DOES recognize that iPhone is connected.
    But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected.
    And also, a week ago, my iPhone usb cable seems to be spoiled at one end. It can still connect the phone to the laptop, but very loosely - as if some wires inside are broken.
    So I really do not know if the problem I mentioned is caused by my setting OR is it because of my spoiled cable (that it could not transfer the photos from the phone)
    And if it is believed that it is caused by my setting, could you please guide me on how to re-set the whole thing?
    Thank you very much.
    Ps. I can still sync my songs in itunes to my music in iPhone.

    "But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected."
    Launch iPhtoto.
    In the menu, iPhoto>Preferences>General.
    Change it back.
