60G video iPod with +15G free can't see iPhoto albums, -50 error

Everything had been running smoothly in my 60G video iPod with photos and videos and music. With more than 15G free on my iPod, space isn't an issue. For reference, I have iPhoto 6 and iTunes 6, both completely updated (as is QuickTime). I've deleted the iPod photo cache on the hard drive. And, because of a previous iPhoto problem, I've rebuilt my system from the hard drive up recently.
Here's the problem: I don't know why iTunes "suddenly" can't see the iPhoto albums. It can see the iPhoto library, but won't let me select specific albums. I don't want all my photos on my iPod, plus it's a +30G photo library so it wouldn't all fit anyway. All I know about what happened right before this problem is, and I quote:
Q: "What happened?"
A: "That beachball thing spun for like 5 minutes so I restarted."
Q: "What application were you using at the time?"
A: "Who knows?"
(To which I'm desperately thinking "Count to 10, you're the adult...count to 10, you're the adult...")
In hunting around on my hard drive, I can also see that there are a bunch of random gifs and jpegs in the Pictures folder. It looks like the Apple website blew up, piece by piece (a gif for each tab across the top, for example) along with some widgets and something I don't recognize.
After deleting my iPod photo cache, I could get iTunes to start updating the iPod again, but now it doesn't see anything but the whole iPhoto library. I tried selecting the whole library, but I got the -50 error again (can't update, error unknown). I use the iPod extensively as a traveling photo album, and now (because I deleted the iPod photo cache I assume) I don't have ANY pictures.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Fixed!
Adding new photographs to my Library seems to have sorted the problem out. So if anyone else has this problem, a holiday to Amsterdam is the cure

  • 60g video ipod that recently stopped syncing.

    I have a 60g video ipod that just stopped syncing my music library. Podcasts/Pictures/Audiobooks sync, but my music library won't. Any idea why this might be happening? Really trying to get this sorted, I have a (55hour) road trip coming up and I'd really love any suggestions/help.
    It's updated to Version 1.3.
    Model - MA003LL.
    Format - Windows
    Everything syncs but the music. The music on here still plays, but it just won't sync. I don't want to factory reset it, in the chance that the issue isn't fixed and I'm left with an empty ipod.

    The error message is this "The Ipod "Ipodname" cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found"
    Any ideas?

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

    Hi there
    Sorry, but your post seemed to initially infer you were just referring to a Button you would insert on a page. At least that's what I understood when I posted with what I did.
    Now it would seem you are referring to the Playback Controls that Captivate supplies? So either I grossly misunderstood your initial issue or you are now switching gears and asking about something different.
    What I posted earlier does not apply to the Captivate Playback Controls.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me.

    Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me...

    Hi,
    There can be several reasons.
    1) They have their Mic Off.
    In iChat > Video Menu the Microphone Enabled (or Audio Chat Enabled in Lion) needs to be ticked.
    2) the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab Volume is not high enough ?
    Slide it to the right (their end)
    2a) the Mic selected here is not the one select in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
    3) there is an issue with the speed differences in the internet services you both have.
    If they are fast and sending lots of data and your end cannot buffer fast enough frame get dropped to smooth out video.  There comes a point when the audio can no longer keep in sync and is dropped as well.
    In iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set 500kbps at both ends
    This also smooths out ISP variances.
    4) after that it tends to be combos of things such as Processors involved, the Speed of those Processors and the speed or bandwidth available to the computers involved.

  • HT4859 How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in iCloud. With Dropbox, I can actually see my stored files. With iCloud, itseems I'm supposed 2 just trust that Appl has the data. Short of doing a restore is there no way to check the data?

    How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
    With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

    You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
    iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

  • TS1368 i try to charge my ipod 4th generation but can not see the battary been charge and also cannot connect to itunes on my computer

    i try to charge my ipod 4th generation but can not see the battary been charge and also cannot connect to itunes on my computer

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Hello JChalups,
    It sounds like your phone has calendars that your iPad no longer shows. First verify that the same calendars that are on your phone are stored in iCloud by checking the calendar at http://www.icloud.com. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article on your iPad. If not, then use it on your iPhone instead:
