Ipod Photo Slideshow Freezes

I have about 50 pictures setup in a photo folder. When I try to play the slideshow (with or without music in the background), it will "freeze" on certain photos and just stop (won't go to the next photo--just leaves the same photo on the display). I'm playing the photos in order (not shuffled)...sometimes it stops on one photo...next time it stops on another...never the same one. When this "freeze" happens, I just go back l menu level to show ALL photos...I pick the next one in the playlist and the slideshow continues on (until the next time it freezes!) I'm current with the January Ipod updated software and latest Itunes software. Help!! Thanks!!

I am having the SAME problem, and the link above does not help.
I put all the picture into IPOD, no problem.
But it only begins at FIRST picture, then I must manually CLICK each picture to view.
Even though I believe I set it to 3 second, slideshow, transitions wipe across.
I SEE nowhere where these settings can be SAVED???
I think this is where the problem is, does anyone know?

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod photo freezes when using IM3 speakers

I have a 60gb ipod photo that freezes up when I use it with my altec lansing IM3 speakers. Sometimes it will play for a couple of hours, other times it happens after only a few songs. It works fine after I reset it but it often freezes up again a little while later. Anybody have the same problem? Or any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. I have a 40G ipod. All of a sudden it doesn't work when I dock it in the im3. It plays about 20 sec of a song then goes to the next and freezes. Also makes a loud clicking sound. It works fine with the earbuds.
Any ideas?

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

Multiple Slideshows on iPod Photo 60 GB

i have iPod Photo 60 GB. I typically create Keynote slideshow (for my studies) and export slideshow as Image Sequence and store it on iPod. Now as far as I know on Ipod you cannot have multiple Photo Librarires. I want to store multiple image libraries on Ipod Seperately so that when I want to study specific topic I will just open that slideshow and study. Is it possible?

Try resetting:

IPOD 30GB photo slideshow

Hello. I've read much of the forum but 1st issue is the photo slideshow on my IPOD 30 GB. Downloaded pictures used to display full screen and scroll automatically. Perfect! Now the slideshow displays three tiny photos while scrolling. Have altered the settings to no avail. Am I missing something so simple?

Hi almost, ;^)
I also bought my 30GB in March. I haven't had the problems you've seen though. Have you updated to the newest Updater, the one from this month (Sep)? I have read several people saying that they've had all kinds of problems when using this version. I believe this Updater is really only for the Nano. If you kept the previous one (from this summer) that has the 1.2 iPod version, try putting that one back on it.
As far as getting the computer to see it, try this:
1) disconnect your iPod and Reset it,
2) reboot your PC,
3) don't start any programs other than iTunes,
4) don't plug in anything other than your iPod.
Be patient - wait a few minutes and see if it connects. If not, try plugging the iPod into a different USB port.

Ipod photo freezes itunes

He All,
My iPod Photo (40 GB, circa 2004) still works, but now that I've been forced to upgrade itunes, I get the wheel of death once I click on the ipod from within itunes. This makes me unable to change anything on the ipod, including clicking the "restore ipod" icon. The wheel just spins and spins and spins until I force quit. Suggestions? Recommendations? Any direction in which anyone can point me?

Try moving the iPod cache to the Trash.

Can't force quit iTunes?
You've tried Force Quit from the Apple  menu drop down menu?

How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

Jon,
See if this works. It may or may not.
Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)

Windows recognizes iPod, but not iTunes or iPod updater, causes freezing

I'm having some issues with my 60GB iPod Photo. I tried to store my friend's music on my iPod as files. Upon uploading them to my own computer, some files caused freezing, requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the iPod. I finally gave up and deleted all the files stored on my iPod. All of a sudden, although Windows XP Pro recognized that an iPod was plugged in, it would no longer open iTunes automatically. When opening iTunes once the iPod was plugged in, it would cause iTunes to freeze.
I decided to restore my iPod. About halfway through, there was an error message saying my iPod could not be restored. All songs were deleted but my iPod was still not recognized. Now, the iPod updater does not recognize that in iPod is connected, even though Windows does. The updater freezes, inhibiting me from completing my restore. iTunes freezes as well when my iPod is plugged in. My iPod displays "update in progress - do not disconnect," but nothing happens. When my iPod is not connected to the computer, I can navigate through it normally, although it does need to be unfrozen when left unused for a couple of days. I cannot tell if it plays files because they were all removed during my unsuccessful restore.
I have tried reinstalling all my iPod related software and I have tried my iPod on more than one computer with different USB cables, but nothing works.
Help, please!

This is exactly the same problem that I am having I have posted on 14th March on itunes forum. I wish you luck I wait with interest to see what someone says. My ipod was working like a dream until i downloaded the update

Nano iPod photo dock and S video out?

Has anyone with an iPod photo dock slipped their nano into it to see if the photos will display on a TV (attcheed via S-video?)
Since Apple didn't offer a video cable out for nano, I suspect it doesn't output slideshows, but it would be interesting to find out if the video signal gets sent to the dock connector. Easy way to test is to try to send the slide show out to a TV via ths S-video output of the dock.
Any experience out there?

Hi Dave,
No, I did not get a response, but Apple did announce the "Apple iPod Universal Dock" with the release of the new iMac on October 12th (the "one more thing" press conference).
The new dock replaces the old photo dock and supports ALL iPods with dock connector (including the nano and the recently introduced iPod with Video). The new dock retails for the same price as the old photo dock but is more feature rich.
The new photo dock supports slideshows out via S-video, as well as video for the video iPods. It also includes a sensor that works with the same IR remote that ships with the iMac. This remote does NOT come with the dock, but is available as an accessory for the dock for $29. If you are buying the new iMac, there is no need to purchase another remote (unless you tend to misplace remotes
Below is a description of the new dock from Apple's web site. The product doesn't ship for 3 to 4 weeks (as of Oct 23)
Here are some of the things you can do with the Universal Dock:
Connect the Dock to your computer with the cable that came with your iPod, then place your iPod in the Dock to sync and charge the battery. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in.
Connect the Dock to an electrical outlet using an iPod Power Adapter, then place your iPod in the Dock to charge the battery.
Connect the Dock to a stereo or speakers using an iPod AV Cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPod.
Control playback from a distance using the Apple Remote.
Display photos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with a color display.
Display videos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with video capability.
Hope this helps!

40GB iPod Photo came with FW cable, doesn't work with FW cable

I have a 40GB iPod photo that I love. I bought another (used) one for my wife, being careful to get the identical model so we could share things such as docks, cables, etc.
Her iPod works fine with the USB cable, but will only charge with the FW cable -- no computer can see her iPod through FW. I've reset the iPod, updated it with the iPod updater, but nothing. When I connect her iPod to any of my Macs (her 12" iBook, my 12" PowerBook, my G5 iMac) with FW, the iPod appears to be charging, but is not detected by the computer, nor are any of the iPod controls usable. It doesn't go to the "do not disconnect" screen, but simply freezes where it is until the FW cable is disconnected.
Specifics: both iPod Photos are the 40GB model M9585LL, version 1.2.1. The 2nd one CAME WITH a FW cable, which is why I'm puzzled that it won't work with it. Help?

Here is some info for the pinout for the iPod.
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4 pole-35mm-pinouts.php
You need to find the pinout of the camera cable you have.
Probably be easier to get get an AV cable with a 3.5mm plug to (whatever fits into your TV) cable.
Usually, you simply have to swap the Red and the Yellow for it to work properly.

Photo slideshow does not work?

I tried numerous times to make the photo slideshow feature on ipod working it still does not work. I tried with different folders and albums.
What happens is I set up all the photo slideshow settings on the ipod, select the first picture in the album on the ipod and after the first picture the screen goes black and does not show transitions.
It was working just fine a couple days ago and now the transitions do not work at all.
Any suggestions?

Try the five R's. One of those methods should fix it.

Transferring photos on Ipod Photo

i Have an Ipod Photo 60GB . it all works Ok and i have music and 20,000 Photos stored on it. However i have the following problem.
i can synch my photos from My G5 to the ipod and store them ok.
but what i want to be able to do is to transfer all my photos that are then on that Ipod to my laptop (ibook),.
but when i connect the ipod to it its asks if i want to synch to that library , and update that ipod to that library on the ibook which is not what i want the ipod to do.
i want the synch d library from the G5 transferred across.
I simply want to transfer individual photos or library stored on the Ipod from there to the harddrive of the Ibook. So that i have the same photos on both machines. so i can show people the pictures from the ibook but seem unable to do it.
Simple ? err with Apple NO
is there a way round this ?
im am not sure if this query is in the correct category ,if it isnt i apologise , but maybe i can get help anyway.Thanks

I'm having the same problem, yet my "enable disk use" check is grayed out. I'm in the understanding that because I set my iPod to manually update, it's already enabled for disk use, so I don't have to worry about it.
However, I'm still having trouble seeing my photos. The iPod meter says I have 800k worth of photos on my iPod (5th gen 80-gig video), but when I scroll to the photos menu from the iPod itself, I only see the slideshow settings. I've properly set my photos folder to sync and followed all the directions. I know there are other people who have the same problem and yet no one on the forums seems to answer or are treating them like they're stupid.
Your reply, Neil, was actually the only one I've found that didn't, so thanks for that... but unfortunately the article you pointed to still doesn't solve the issue.

TS2972 no photo slideshow on Apple tv3

Have set up recently purchased apple tv 3 - set up home sharing and selected photos to share from itunes. These load fine, show up individually on the apple tv, but no image appears when selecting slideshow.
Sometimes the screen shows loading and pinwheel, then this freezes, otherwise the screen is blank.
All photos appear loaded in photo screen and individually enlarge when selected.
Screensaver doesn't work at all, unless 'Floating' mode selected.
Any solutions to this?

I had this exact same problem with my 3rd generation Apple TV up until yesterday. I also have a 2nd generation Apple TV which wasn't having the problem and was able to display photo slideshows.
Just in case anyone else is still having the same problem. The solution for me was to restore my Apple TV to factory settings.
