Ipod nano - photos disappear when I add new ones

When I transfer photos from my computer to my ipod nano that's fine - but the photos already in my ipod disappear!
Anyone help?

Are you choosing the same folder each time to sync
photos from?
If this isnt the case then thats why the photos
disappear, the ipod recognises that the "new" folder
chosen doesnt have the photos already contained on
the ipod in it and deletes them accordingly.
The easiest way to transfer photos (at least i found
it easier lol) is to create a new folder on your
computer called "ipod photos" or something like that,
then copy all the photos that you want on your ipod
into that folder. Then sync the ipod photos from that
folder, and when you want to remove certain photos,
simply delete or move them from the folder, connect
the ipod, and sync again.
Hope this helps
Many thanks- I'll try that. I assume that it's the same procedure for Windows (you) and Mac (me)?

  • IPod Nano won't turn on - a new one

    I've read all the posts on here an none of them seem to answer my question. I just got an iPod nano for Christmas from my husband. I took it out of the package and hooked it up. Got it all set up and waited until the nano told me it was charged. I disconnected it like I was supposed to (clicked the eject button in iTunes and then unplugged it) and it promptly shut off. I plugged it back in to the computer and it turned back on. I left it plugged in until the nano displayed a screen stating it was completely charged. Then disconnected it again. Once again it turned off....suggestions?
    Thanks

    If the 5r's do not work, call Apple Support since it brand new.

  • How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

    How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

    When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"?  If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
    I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad.  I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors.  Those appear on my iPad.  I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad.  Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

  • Would  it be more expensive to replace the screen on my iPod nano generation 6 or purchase a new one?

    Today I dropped my sixth generation iPod nano which cracked the screen, and my "Apple Care" has runout. Would I be better off purchasing a new iPod or having the screen replaced by a Springboard Apple Specialist.

    AppleCare does not apply to accidents, so it would not have helped.
    You can get an Apple Certified Refurb iPod nano (8GB) for $99, which has the same one-year warranty as a new one.  And it looks new.  You'll have to get a quote from your repair specialist and decide if it's an economical repair.

  • Photo Albums - can't add new ones?!?

    How do I add a new photo album on my iPhone?

    When you create a new folder (album) from the directory where you are syncing photos from iTunes will autmatically create it as a separate folder / album.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • IPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import.  Any thoughts?

    If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
    Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event".  That will take you to the event in event view.

  • I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

    I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

    If they are gone, then your question is answered.
    If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
    You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer.  It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
    If the music is gone, then it is gone.
    Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
    Your music is only where you put it.  If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
    Not sure what else you are looking for.

  • My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac, replaced with Mac default image. please help?

    My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac...replaced with default apple image. does anyone know a fix?

    First, try to delete the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart your computer. Finally, change the wallpaper and see if it stays after restarting your computer
    If that does not work try
    open the Applications Support folder and then look for the Dock folder and open that. There are two files, one of which is "desktoppicture.db". Move this file to the trash and securely delete it. Restart the computer. A new "desltoppicture.db" will be created on startup.
    Finally, reset your desktop picture again using System Preferences.

  • IPod Nano 4th Restarts when I click the Klondike Game

    It happens for many times, on music playing when I click Klondike game, the iPod restarts automatically, and the main menu items kind of restore to defaults. I don't remember if clicking other 2 games causes this too, but it did happen again on Klondike yesterday. Both my iMac and iPod Nano have most updated software.

    My new nano chromatic gets stuck if I go to Klondike. I can play the game, but I can't get out of it without restarting the ipod. What's up?

  • My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

    my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

    If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
    Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing.  Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired.  For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts.  The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below. 
    When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs...  Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod.  If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(
