Can't transfer photos

I bought a brand new 5th generation iPod 60GB and have tried everything and can't get any photos to transfer into it. Surely it can't be that difficult since the directions are only 5 paragraphs long. Why have I not tried that might work aside from taking this piece of expensive crap back to the Apple store.

OK, I love the new g5ipod. Bug change from the mini pod, but just getting ready to go on the road.
Gary, thanks for the link, but the section about not syncing photos from multiple users accounts or multiple computers really *****.
OK, so lets say I have 1-2GB of images in iphoto on my desktop. Well now I'm on the road and I have some images I want to drop on the ipod for portable display. Well i'm out of luck unless I want to loose all of the photos already on it (until I can get back to my desktop) And then when I get back home I lose the photos I synced on the road. I'm not talking about camera connector, just computer to ipod transfer.
Also my wife and I share the ipod and it would be nice for each of us to add photos from our account. I'm fine with it not syncing, but just want to add photos, even if it treats it like an import from camera and puts each drop in a role.
This is disappointing. i could drop my 1-2GB library onto my laptop, but its a pain and it uses up a lot of space.
The only idea I have is to take my new photos from the laptop that I want to add. Transfer them to a CF card under DCIM folder, then hook up to ipod with camera connector. That seems to have potential (assuming I'm using a camera connector that plays well with ipod. For now I would have to just use my camera.
Oddly, it seems like if I had Windows that maybe some options out of PhotoShop.
I have only loaded low res images to ipod from iphoto. I would even be happy if the ipod let me add those to my laptop library as low res images. This library is typically empty.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

    how can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself, and I thought they would be in icloud but I can't find them

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTunes?

    HOw can I transfer photos from my pc to iPad using iTUnes?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page (though it looks like Apple are doing some maintenance at the moment so the link isn't working). You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad).

  • Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook?

    Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook? I've exported them out of iPhoto into a folder on desktop. Would like to move them into other User account on same laptop.

    I did figure this out eventually and am going to record it here so later, when i ultimately forget the twists and turns I took to make this happen, I'll be able to come back and see....For me it was not as simple as John (above) offered...First: Export photos from iPhoto into folder on desktop. Click on the folder and select from the top left corner File - Check info- click the box beside shared folder- scroll down to Sharing & Permission and make sure the other user acccount is added to who can read & write.
    If you haven't done this already go into System Preferences- Sharing- check the box beside File Sharing- click on File Sharing as well and 2 windows will appear- Shared Folders and Users. Select the shared folder you want to use and in the User window add the other user account to who can read & write.
    Next: Open Finder- select Public Folder- drag photo folder into it.
    Now log off and open your other User profile. Open Finder. Select Macintosh HD in the side bar- select Users Folder- select the original User profile you want your photos from- select Public Folder- your photo folder should be there, drag it onto your Desktop or directly into iPhoto. If a block occurs saying you aren't alllowed to see this folder then you missed a step in the whole file sharing business.
    Viola! it worked. Hope this helps someone else

    The same way you sync music, apps.
    iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more, between your computer and iPhone. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to sync files and documents. See Sync with iTunes.

    how can i transfer photos from my macbook to regular USB plugged in it

    For a few photos, you can select them in the iPhoto library then drag and drop them to the USB key. This is a copy, so the originals will remain in iPhoto.
    To move the whole library, use the procedure described here:

    To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Click the Photos tab.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
    If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
    Click Apply.
    To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
    Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
    Click Apply.

    How can I transfer photos from my  iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad?  When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
    Help appreciated

    I've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.

    If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad.

    How can I transfer photos from my iPad to my Toshiba PC?

    Plug the iPad into your computer using the USB cable and then use whatever app your computer has for downloading images from a digital camera. When the iPad is connected, the computer will see the camera roll as a digital camera. I'm not a PC person, so I can't tell you which app to use on the computer, sorry.
