Ipod Classic not showing Photos in full screen

I have a new Ipod Classic 80gig version and have sync'd it with my windows PC. All is good other than the photos. It will display them in mini form (like a contact print) but when you click on the photo you want to look at in full size version the screen goes black and it doesn't show thge photo. Any ideas?
Cheers
Nick

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Ipod classic not showing up as a device

my pc is not recognizing my ipod classic as a device...it shows up sometimes as a device and when I click on it, it disappers and then locks up my pc.....please help

Sorry with the minimal info that you provide, this is all I can suggest.
What do you see on your iPod screen?
Can you see your songs Menu on your iPod screen, if you can't, then the ipod need charging, or restore.
Can I assumed, you are running iTunes on Windows OS and that your iPod is formatted using FAT32 and not Mac OS format.
However, iTunes will prompt you to Restore, if it is not the right format for your Window OS, Mac OS X iTunes can handle both FAT32 and HPS+ (journaled).
Your 1st post says sometimes it appears on your PC and hangs if you click on it, sound like your iPod harddisk is dying and taking a long time to validate

Iphoto 09 8.1.2 stopped showing photos in full screen

I have the above-mentioned version on both my MAC and my MACBookPro. I have never had a problem with either. Suddenly, the version on my MACBookPro (which is using OS X 10.6.8) stopped showing my pics in the full screen mode. All I get, when double clicking a thumbnail, all of which show up great, is a black screen. I can see the thumbnails above the black screen, and I can even play the pics in a slide-show.
I have tried everything from rebuilding the library to creating a new library, to completely deleting both IPhoto Application and Library, going to my MAC, copying that version of IPhoto and it's library onto a disc and loading that onto my Pro. NOTHING WORKS! I have tried everything I've seen on the web, You-Tube, and of course the Apple Support, which is usually the worst of the lot in terms of supplying information. I have searched Google to no avail. Apple seems to all but have foresaken this version, in favor of it's new ILife program, IPhoto 11, which I see is also having major difficulties.
Is there no one out there who has the slightest idea why this program, only on my Pro, is doing this? I just looked at my pics again on my MAC and that sucker is working like a charm. I don't even see a good IPhoto alternative out there to download.
HELP!

IPod Classic not showing in iTunes or Windows

I received a new iPod 80GB Classic for Christmas today, but I'm having trouble getting it to work with iTunes. I've plugged it into the USB port, but all that happens is that it starts charging but doesn't show in My Computer or iTunes.
Before I got this new iPod I was using a 2GB iPod Nano, could it be because I was syncing a particular iPod with iTunes before I got this new iPod? Or do I have to do something like charge the iPod completely before connecting it to the USB port?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

80GB ipod Classic not showing any Music loaded on it

I have an 80GB Classic Model No A1238. Suddenly the ipod has stopped showing any playlist or music that was there on it. But the ipod shows 56.4gb used and 17.9GB Free which means it still has the data but in the summary it shows Songs 0, Videos 0, Podcast 0 etc... How can i recover the music and make it appear ? Will i have to restore the ipod or there is a way recover ? Please help.

Sounds like the iPod's file system and databases have been corrupted possibly due to a damaged/failing hard drive or failed sync operating with iTunes. So yes, the only way to try and recover is to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Ipod Classic Not showing some of the artists

My ipod 80 gig is not showing an artist on my artist list but if you go under albums its there.... any ideas why

Two things often contribute to this.
One is that some songs might be tagged as Part Of A Compilation (see the Get Info on those songs/albums) in which case they will not show up under the artist.
Second, is that an artist needs at least two different Albums identified for their songs to all list under the artist. In other words, if you import a CD with album name then add a handful of misc songs without album names associated, those handful will not show up under the artist name.
But add an album name to at least one of those handful of misc. songs and then ALL of the songs should show up under the artist.
You don't have to do it for all of them, just enough to have two different albums identified with the artist. But in general, it is a good idea to make sure your tunes have Song name, artist name, and album name associated with them as a minimum.

IPod Classic not showing in iTunes

Hi guys
I am trying to upload new songs onto my iPod Classic (30GB Black).
The device is working fine but when I connect it to iTunes it doesn't appear as a device (although it appears in Finder as a 'drive').
I've made sure that all of my Mac updates are done and I've tried connecting the iPod to two different Macs but no joy.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
Stuart

Did you try another computer, sometimes tunes act craze on windows specially when having a problems with iPods its some how stops responding to specific device until you reformat it on another computer.
I always use the Mac iTunes to fixissues, its always working perfectly.

5th Gen Ipod does not show photo tab under preferences

I am trying to get pics onto my Ipod. The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date? Is anyone having this problems?

The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date?
can you check something for me? what icon is showing up in the itunes sourcelist? is it a wee picture of your 5th G, or does it look quite different?
what version of the firmware is being cited in the "summary" tab you see when you select the ipod in the sourcelist? is that the same version that you see in the "About" screen on your ipod?
Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?

120Gb Ipod classic not showing in iTunes

Help me!
We recently bought the 120GB Classic ipod and realised when we got home that it didnt work through the USB port on our stereo (JVC). So, I did a little bit of homework and in iTunes, I ticked the boxes for 'Use as mass storage device' and 'manage my own music'. Now when I connect the Ipod to the laptop, it will show the ipod in My Computer but it wont show it in iTunes. An error eventually appears when i open itunes which says 'The specified I/O operation on \device\harddisk\dr14 was not completed before the time-out period expired'.
I cant undo what i did as i cant see it in iTunes. I reset the settings on the actual iPod but it still doesnt work (just removed the music instead).
Can anyone help me to fix this?

Try holding down the menu and center button at the same time until the Apple logo comes up. Once you have gotten that far, connect to your system and in iTunes, select the iPod and restore it.

IPod classic not showing up...anywhere

Hello all, I've had my 120gig classic for 6 months and all of a sudden it started locking up my computer when I plugged it in to sync/charge. After a while, it said that the iPod may be corrupt and I needed to restore it to use with Windows.
That's cool and all, but I can't actually access the iPod in iTunes - it just locks up, and eventually says "hey, you should restore this." I have tried reinstalling iTunes twice with latest version (following all the steps in the support articles here) along with clearing temp files, stopping/starting the device in Windows manager, trying in disk mode, etc. Nothing.
By the way, when I kick it into disk mode and try to access it from Windows, I can SEE the iPod, but when I try to access it I get a similar lock up, and after a few minutes it quits trying to access the disk.
finally, even with all these problems I DID still have access to all my music on my iPod. However, now the music has disappeared, though it still says my iPod only has ~200 megs free. So it's still got all the files on there.
is my iPod screwed? is it my computer? Should I just go stick my head in the oven?
any help is greatly appreciated!

The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.
