5th gen photo transfer and quality question (also for nano)

I am still in doubt whether to buy a nano 8 gb or a 5th gen 30 gb. I would also like to use the ipod to transfer photos from my digital Canon Rebel to the ipod. Is this possible for both models?
The 6 megapixel camera makes photos with a size of roughly 2.5-3 MB. I noticed in both the specs-lists for the 5th gen and the nano something like 'iPod customized photos' or 'ipod viewable photos'. I have to know whether the photos I put from the camera to the ipos will stay completely untouched and at original size. Is this the case? Can I still watch those 2.5 MB photos on the ipod or are they just sotred as general 'non-viewable' data and should you convert them (just like mp3/avi video) before you can watch them...
Can I assume that the nano and 5th gen are identical when it comes to transferring photos from a camera? Do they both have the quick transfer possibility with the 30 dollar adapter?
If you have a compact camera that, besides photos, holds videos (usually mpg), will this data also be trnasferred to the ipod?

I do not have his info and I do not know how to get in touch with him I have had third gen ipods and never had any problums like this before Help!!!

Either get the Apple ID and password from him to activate the iPod
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
or have him remote remove the device from his account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
or return it for a refund.
Otherwise you have an expensive, thin brick

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Hi,
I have installed Photoshop element 12 trail version in my system and i worked also for some days but it given error that "cannot load default brushes because scratch disk is full " but scratch is 158GB free why whats the problem am not getting.

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.

You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
There is not other way

5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.

Photo Transfer to 5G Questions

I'd like to download photos from my digital camera to my 5G but don't really wish to spend $50 Can for the adapter that Apple sells. Was wondering then if my camera USB cable and iPod USB cable could simply be connected with a USB female-female connector or, does the Apple camera adapter perform some sort of signal processing?
Also, I can't figure out what initiates the photo transfer - there seems to be no menu options for it in the iPod. Or, does the transfer take place automatically when the camera and iPod are connected?
TIA for any help.........

Hi Laurie,
After you plug in the camera adapter the iPod goes to an import screen where you select Import to copy the photos to the iPod. I believe the connector is the only way to have this work (a dock to usb cable won't do the trick).

Aperture Exporting JPEG's from RAW: file size and quality questions?

Hey Everyone,
So, I'm using Aperture 2 and I've got some questions about exporting from RAW to JPEG. I shoot with a Nikon D70 so original RAW files are 5-6mb in size. After doing some basic post processing when I export the pics at "full size" with picture quality of 11 out of 12 then the resulting JPEG is about half the file size of the original RAW file. For example a 5.6mb RAW becomes a 2.6mb JPEG. The resolution in pixels per inch and and the overall image size remain unchanged. Have I lost picture quality due to the exporting JPEG being smaller in file size?
My friend who works with me prefers to edit in Photoshop and when he follows the same workflow his saved JPEG from the identical RAW file in Photoshop is minimally smaller in file size, say 5.6mb to 5.3mb. He's telling me that my Aperture edited photos are losing quality and resolution.
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size? I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
I've bee told that Aperture has a better compression engine and that the resulting files are of the exact same quality because the PPI and image size are the same. Is that what explains the much smaller file sizes in Aperture?
I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs.
Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
Thanks in advance for your help.

JPEG is a "lossy" file compression algorithm. Whether Aperture or PS, *every time a JPEG is saved some loss occurs*, albeit minimal at the 11 or 12 level of save, huge losses at low save levels. Some images (sky, straight diagonal lines, etc.) are more vulnerable to showing visible jpeg artifacts.

*Both of you are losing image data when you save to jpeg.* IMO the differences between the apps is probably just how the apps work rather than actually losing significantly more data. The real image data loss is in using JPEG at all!
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size?
I doubt it.
I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
The issue here is not how many pixels (because you are not varying that) but how much data each pixel contains. In this case once you avoid lossy JPEG the quality mostly has to do with different RAW conversion algorithms. Apple and Adobe both guess what Nikon is up to with the proprietary RAW NEF files and the results are different from ACR to Apple to Nikon. For my D2x pix I like Nikon's conversions the best (but Nikon software is hard to use), Aperture second and Adobe ACR (what Photoshop/Bridge uses) third. I 98% use Aperture.

JPEG is a useful format but lossy. Only use it as a _last step_ when you must save files size for some reason and are willing to accept the by-definition loss of image data to obtain smaller files (such as for web work or other on-screen viewing). Otherwise (especially for printing) save as TIFF or PSD which are non-lossy file types, but larger.
As to the Aperture vs. ACR argument, RAW-convert the same original both ways, save as TIFF and see if your eyes/brain significantly prefer one over the other. Nikon, Canon etc. keep proprietary original image capture data algorithms secret and each individual camera's RAW conversion is different.

Photo storage and delete questions

Hello there,
I have photoshop cs51 and bridge. I also have a new version of lightroom (I tried but was unable to download and use the creative cloud versions so had to do separate). My versions of PS and bridge will not open raw, so i'm using 90% LR and only bringing photos into PS when I need that little extra. I'm fine doing it that way. I'm having a huge issue with photo storage and have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer. Obviosly I'm not very technical, so simple answers work best.
I had LR for months before PS and bridge. Bridge has imported many of my photos. If I delete them from bridge, will they be deleted from my computer, or only bridge? Would it be possible for me to delete the bridge program, as I don't use it?
My one year old Mac is already full and running out of storage. I've moved my LR catalogues over to a portable HD. It's my understanding that it 'removes' those photos....but keeps a thumbnail in LR for me to see. I can only access the photos when they portable HD is connected to my Mac. However, there is still SO much space being taken up by my photo's. I'm not sure why. Should I remove the thumnails from LR? Do they still take up a lot of space?
I have been unable to load new photo's due to this issue. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Bridge does not, like Lightroom, import photos. If you delete an image in Bridge, you delete it from your computer. I don't think you can uninstall Bridge, it's probably part of the Photoshop install.
You should move your photos to the external HD, not the LR catalogs. The catalogs don't take up much space, your photos do. (And, btw, there's no need to have several catalogs, one is usally enough.) But you can leave your catalogs on the external HD if you like.
When you move you photos to the external HD, make sure to keep the original folder structure. If you have a parent folder containing all your photos, the move will be easier. LR will put a question mark on all your files and folder. If you have a parent folder, then right click it in LR, and direct LR to the new location on the external HD.
