AppleTV interacting with iPod Photo Sync..

Ever since I started syncing an AppleTV with the same iTunes that I've always synced my iPod with video with, every time I sync the iPod now it re-optimizes the photos. It never re-optimized my photos between syncs when only the iPod was involved. Now that I'm syncing an AppleTV it does it every iPod sync and it takes FOREVER! Any way to stop the incessant iPod photo re-optimization?

i can sync the photos as long as there is more than 50 MB of empty space on my (2 GB) iPod. once i add songs enough to have less than 50 MB, it says there is not enough disk space, so none of my photos have been synced.
This has been discussed here before on several occasions.
It seems that there is a certain amount of free space needed on the iPod in order to sync photos, as you have found. Once this free space reaches a certain limit, no more photos can be synced. This applies even if the photos to be synced take up a smaller amount of space than the iPod has left.
As far as I know, there is no way around this.

  • My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

    My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

    What's the error message say, exactly?  Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it?  Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
    I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo."  It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1.  I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion.  It connected and synced fine using USB.

  • Photo folder / album on phone and pc dissapeared? replaced with ipod photo cache folder? how do i get those photo's back?

    i was just syncing pics and it managed to sync 2 folders with around 190 pics then i synced the rest it deleted those 2 folders and those 190 pics dissapeared and in the folder on my pc was ipod photo cache? i really want those photos back since there really special ( friends , family ect.)

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • Coverflow with ipod photo

    Hi, i'm running iTunes 7 and am happy with coverflow, but am wondering why the option for this and artwork list view are greyed-out with my ipod?
    Due to my tiny ibook drive I keep most of my music on my pod so obviously would like to use this feature with it.
    All answers are much appreciated
    I'm running iTunes7 on OSX 10.3.9 with an ipod photo (60gb)

    I've got the same problem and I'm using the new 80 gig iPod. I think Apple is trying to force you to sync, rather than letting you keep everything on the iPod. It seems like CoverFlow is only available for the iTunes Library on your computer.
    This guy seems to have come to the same conclusion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3187772&#3187772

  • Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

    Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

    The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.

  • Impossible problem with iPod Photo

    Ok, so here's the kick:
    I joined this forum because I cannot find a solution to this problem whatsoever. I have an iPod Photo that has been sitting in a drawer for about 2 years. I just got a new car stereo and I wanted to fix my old iPod instead of buying a new one. Besides, all I want is the music playback. The original problem with the iPod was the hard drive. It made the usual "clicking" noise everyone has heard at least once, so my first goal was to change the hard drive. I ordered a 30GB Toshiba Drive that fits exactly for my iPod. Actually, it upgraded it's old 20GB one without occupying any additional space. While I was at it, I also ordered a new battery, since I was pretty sure 2 years ago the battery already had problems, and it couldn't have gone better with the years.
    So, first package arrives: Hard Drive.
    I replaced the hard drive and connected the iPod to my computer. Yay! No more noises! But, for some reason, the iPod cannot connect to my computer. Here's what happens:
    I connect the iPod
    iPod turns on
    Apple Logo appears
    Exclamation Folder or Sad iPod icon appears (normal, since I just changed the hard drive and there are no iPod Software files)
    After a few mins, the "Do not disconnect" message appears, and my computer starts to connect with the iPod
    Not even 30 seconds later, the iPod completly restarts. The screens flashes off like it ran out of battery.
    So, I though, maybe it was the battery. So, 2nd package arrives: Battery.
    I changed the battery and I'm still having the same problem. Here are some steps I've taken:
    1. Put iPod in Disk Mode and connect: Computer doesn't recognizes it, iPod restarts after 45 secs approx
    2. Charge iPod: iPod wont charge in any outlet. It will just try to start and, since it will fail due to the lack of software, it will just turn off. I tried putting the iPod in Disk Mode and then charging it, and it did work. I left it charging for about 30 mins and retried connecting it, and I had the same problem/results
    3. Put old Hard Drive back: just for the heck of it
    I sincerely have NO IDEA of what to do, and I haven't been able to find any help on Google nor any other forum.
    Does someone, ANYONE, has a suggestion?
    Thanks in advance!

    I, too, have this exact same problem after trying to use my daughter's IPod Photo 30GB that she abandoned about 2yrs ago. I've replaced the battery but this does not make any difference. I managed to get it into Disk Mode but when I try to restore it on the pc, it cannot see it. I also tried someone's suggestion of using a Mac but it made no difference.
    Someone also suggested rebooting the hard drive using the reset button inside. However, have opened the IPod up and can't see a reset button anywhere on the hard drive. Have seen photos of hard drives in other IPods and it is really easy to find!
    All I want to do is restore the IPod, there must be someone out there who can help. PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Need help with ipod itunes syncing problem just occured

    i restored my computer to factory settings and when i did that i lost my itunes and when i reinstalled it and tried to sync my ipod to the new installation of itunes it said that my ipod is synced with another itunes and that to sync it wiht this itunes it would delete and replace all data on my ipod with data from my itunes which is nuthing please help i dont wanna lose all my songs and apps an all that

    You should have created a backup of your Itunes library before your computer restore to factory setting so that you can copy them to your new iTunes.
    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Trouble with ipod photo cache

    Hi.  Another newbie question.  I have a a folder in my photos called ipod photo cache.  I can't figure out how to get rid of it.  I read that I have to go into itunes, go to my device, go to photos and uncheck a box that says photo sync or something like that, and the folder will go away.  I did that (i think) and the folder is still there.  Can anyone help me get rid of this folder?  I'm old school when it comes to my photos.  I like to manually drag them to the folders on my pc that I want them in.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Take it to the iPod store. They're not going to give you a nano - they're going to fix or replace yours - unless of course, they decide it's not under warranty because you don't have a receipt?

  • M4p with iPod Photo

    I bought Brazilian Girls' video album "LIVE IN NYC." that includes 5 m4v Quicktime movies and 5 m4p audio files. Both movies and audios can be played with iTunes 6 (iBook G4 1.42GHz, Mac OS 10.4.2), but when I transfered the audio files to my iPod Photo 60G they cannot be played with the iPod. The songs are displayed in the song lists of my iPod. But when I tried to play the songs, each song finished in zero second and moved to the next. I believe iPod Photo is compatible with m4p files... Does anyone have the same issue?

    I didn't try "the" AV cable (if you mean one from Apple).
    I used a standard S-Video cable. Since it says "S-Video out" on the connector, I assume that this should also work.
    The line out connector doesn't work either. When I dock the iPod, the sound still comes from the internal speaker and there's no signal from the line out.
    The dock doesn't have an IR receiver (I think that's one of the main features of the universal dock).
    All in all, it's not that tragic for me since I just wanted a dock for my iPod that allowed me to synchronize and charge it.
    I would have never used the video- or audio-output anyway, I guess.
    I tested it only out of curiosity.
    BTW, the seller's name is icebeezx (the item id is 290283883750).
    I guess you're safe when you look for the IR receiver in the pictures to make sure you get a Universal Dock - assuming the picture shows the actual item you get.

  • Is there a way to convert a pdf to a jpeg or way to interact with my photos?

    I was told that photoshop has a way to convert pdf to jpeg or a way to interact and use photos?  Where is it?

    Open the PDF file in Full edit.
    Select all the thumbnails (Shift+click on first & last) then click OK.
    Use Save As to save each layer as a separate jpeg.

  • IPod photo sync generates Unknown Error (-39)

    When syncing my 180 G Classic, my music syncs fine, but I get an error when syncing photos. "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
    I have searched the forums, but there doesn't seem to be any reference to this error.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I'm glad your issue is resolved however please be aware if you expect a speedy response to your questions you need to start your own threads in the relevant forum rather than thread-jacking (for example many of us here are not at all familiar with how to troubleshoot iTunes on Windows issues).
    kind regards

  • First time ever - not a single reply to my question on iPod Photo sync

    Well this is a not so exciting record - after 10 years the first time I get zero replies to a question...
    Anyone have any comments on why I can't load more than 6000 photos onto my iPod Touch with OS 3.1.3 and with 5 gb of space free on my iPod? I'd like to get some additional photos loaded (and I could do this perfectly before upgrading my Gen1 (Dec 2007) iPod from OS 2.x to the current 3.1.3).
    Problem only started after upgrade. I've done a reset; tried lots of ways to sync - but 6128 photos is max...
    Any way to manually drag photos into the iPod? (Don't think so). Anyone else having a similar problem?
    ANY COMMENTS appreciated here -- thanks very much. Really enjoy the Apple Discussions!!

    Jim,
    Thanks VERY much! I believe my settings are the same as I had used when in OS 2.x-- although it seems I've tried everything--
    Basically I'm using iTunes to sync my photos to my iPod Touch (not iPhoto)- but of course they are in iPhoto-- 138 EVENTS - I don't really use "Albums" much...
    I can get some events to sync by adding them (tickbox, one at a time) and am up to about 6300 photos - but this is not how it worked before -- Previously I selected "Events past 12 months" then checked any additional (say a vacation trip in 2008) and Voilà - it was all there (as long as I had sufficient memory / space on the iPod Touch - and if not just some, not 4 gb of photos were left off.
    Thanks for any additional comments - or from any others who have a zillion photos on their iPod Touch and using 3.1.3 especially. But any and all help appreciated!
    Best regards,
