Can't get photos onto iPod. Everything else is OK.

When I try syncing photos from iTunes to my iPod I get the "The disk could not be read from or written to." error message. Everything else gets synced (music, video, podcasts).
I tried reseting my iPod, rebooting Windows, the software was just installed when I got the iPod so it should be fresh.
Any ideas?

Hello . I have the exact same problem . After playing with reset - reinstall and speaking to apple directly for over 2hrs. I have found that there is no simple solution . It must be an Xp problem . Customer support suggested that the problem may be remedied if I create a new Xp user and reinstall to that user . It did not work . However - if you want to get pictures on your ipod and you can get videos on your ipod then do as follows - use microsoft movie maker - free with Xp - to make a slideshow of your photos . Then convert the .avi slideshow into ipod format . Put the video slideshow on your ipod and enjoy . You can pause during the slideshow to show people individual pictures . Just a note I can now no longer get podcasts on my 30g video ipod . Starting to wish I kept my hassle free , itunes free flash usb mp3 player .

Videos converted to MP4: can't get them onto iPod

I have converted videos from YouTube via tubeget.com to a mp4 format using my PC. They appear in the Documents --> Videos folder on the PC, a Windows Media program.
I can see the files in iTunes when I try to add them to iTunes using the “Add file to Library” option under the File menu in iTunes. But when I click on the mp4 file I can’t get it to transfer over to iTunes. That is, when I click on the file via “add to Library”, the file doesn’t appear under Videos in iTunes. And thus, of course, I can’t get the videos into my Videos folder on my iPod Classic.
The iPod is supposed to be a 5th generation. I bought it used from a reputable seller. It readily accepts music videos downloaded from the iTunes store, and it readily accepted a transfer of music files from iTunes to the device.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you don't see the videos in iTunes, that would be the initial problem, and that part is not related to the iPod.
You can use that Add to Library command from the menu bar, but it's sometimes more "informative" if you do it this way...
First, create a new playlist, so that it appears in the iTunes sidebar. If the iTunes sidebar is not visible along left side of window, from the menu bar under View, select Show Sidebar. If you have a lot of playlists already, you can start its name with an underscore (_) symbol, and it will appear at or near the top. Select that playlist in the sidebar, so that its content list is shown to me right (currently empty).
Then, open a Windows Explorer window that shows the video files. Drag one of the video files from that window, and drop it on the playlist (on the currently empty list). If that video file is compatible with iTunes (iTunes can play it), it gets imported, and it appears on the playlist. It also appears in the iTunes library, under Movies. Using a playlist as the place to "drag it to" just makes it easier to spot. If it works for one, drag the other videos you want to add, to the same playlist. On the playlist, you can edit the names as needed, and add other info such as Artist. Then try adding them to the iPod.
NOTE: You can select multiple files to add at the same time and drag them all at once. You can also select the folder that contains the files to add, and drag that folder to the iTunes window.
If the video file format is somehow not compatible with iTunes, you will not able to drag them to the iTunes window. Well, you can drag them there, but they will not get imported nor appear on the playlist. And that would be the problem to solve first.
Either way, you'll be a step closer to figuring out the cause of this problem.

Can you get photos onto iTouch 4 from camera?

I am traveling away from my Mack and taking photos with my Canon dig. camera.I also have my iPod iTouch 4 with me.Is it possible to sync the photos from the Canon dig. camera on the iTouch without the use of the Mac?

"Is that an absolute, definite "no"?"
Yes.
"I was hoping that you could do it with the camera connector kit. "
Hope is good. It is still not a feature of the ipod touch.
"I wanted to buy an ipod touch mainly for this purpose. "
Then don't.
"You can do it on the ipad."
True. Still not a feature of the ipod touch.
"Anyone got a second opinion?"
This is not an opinion. It is indeed the way it is.
Sorry.

Game download - can't get it onto ipod using Mac

I recently downloaded a game for my Ipod from a website but cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod because the instructions are for a windows computer and I have a mac. the instructions ask me to go to my ipod drive so that i can drag the file in. I cannot figure out where it is. Itunes opens automatically but I assume you can access the ipod in another way so e.g. you can use it like a flash drive to transfer files that aren't music or video. Does anyone know how I can access the ipod in any way that isn't through i tunes. Thanks.

Can't get music onto Ipod

I have a previous itunes with music on it and now have a new 8GB nano and want to sync the music onto it but all it does is ask me to register my ipod (which I did) and then asks me to read the whole software license, check the box, save it, and then nothing else happens.....it stays on that screen! If I say cancel then the ipod just disappears from itunes. Help!!!!

You'll find instructions on this page: iTunes window does not display all options

Can't get podcasts onto iPod nano!! please please help!

I've been trying and trying to figure this out but I don't know what the problem is.

yeah i am having the EXACT same problem as you are at the moment!

Ipod photo-can't get pictures from ipod to pc

I have pictures in my ipod that I transferred with the USB digital camera connection, but I can't get them onto i-tunes/my computer.
I can see them on the ipod, but when I connect to itunes and computer i can't see or access the pictures on either (PC or IPOD).
I tried arranging the settings so it would automatically sync pictures into folders, but it doesn't´t do it.
I don´t know if it has anything to do with the fact that i used to have a regular ipod, and connected the ipod photo to my existing itunes...
Either way PLEASE PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS.
THANK YOU!!!

I'm not really familiar with iTunes for Windows, but on the Mac, iTunes does not fetch photos off the iPod that were imported using the Camera Connector.
Instead, you'll have to enable Disk Mode for the iPod. There's a folder named DCIM on the iPod's hard drive that contains the pictures. You can either copy this folder manually, or use a program that recognizes the DCIM folder and treats the iPod like a digital camera to import the photos.

iTunes: Syncing photos

Photos tells me it is connecting to Library for shared photos. It's been saying this for about ten hours. I can't stop it from searching or get it to do anything else. I can go back to my photos but I can't get Photos to find the shared items.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

HT1473 I have an audio mp3 (it's a lecture, not copyrighted). It's in my itunes now but I can't get it onto my iPod nano. I have a mac.

I have gotten an mp3 of a lecture into my itunes but can't get it onto my ipod nano. I'm on a mac. How do I do this?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan
