Answer 1

1. create a folder (mine is called 'ipod photos')
2. put all the photos you want on your ipod in that folder
3. open itunes, plug in your ipod.
4. on the overview screen, click the photos tab
5. check the, 'sync photos from' box.
6. browse to the folder you want to sync with
if you want to have subfolders on your ipod, then inside your 'ipod photos' folder, create subfolders and place the photos in there.
e.g. i have a folder called ipod photos, with subfolders, family, friends, other.
on my ipod i have four folders, family, friends, other, and Photo Library (the ipod automatically places ALL the folders in the 'Photo Library' folder.
if you want to put your pictures in a specific order, put a number in the photo name (e.g. 01 Mum, 02 Dad, 03 Birthday.) if you have more than 100 photos you might need 001, 002, 003, i'm not sure.
'Saved Photos'
sometimes you may notice on your iPod a 'Saved Photos' folder appears. this is where the iPod stores any photos you acquire actually on the iPod. Usually from email, safari (holding your finger on a picture while browsing the internet in safari will result in a pop up menu that allows you to save that photo) or from screenshots (holding the home button and the power button at the same time will give you a screenshot).
You can access these when your iPod is plugged in to your computer by navigating to it as if it was an external hard drive, this will let you move the photos to your computer if you want to keep it.
These 'Saved Photos' are the only ones you can delete on the iPod (tap the screen, should be a bin icon that comes up), the others you will have to delete using your computer (delete them in your 'iPod photos' folder.)
