Ipod photo tab missing.

Good evening fellow Ipod users
Now, I have read a post like this before, but there is a difference.
My Ipod has never displayed a photo tab.
I've had it since around august 2007 and I've tried reinstalling itunes and resetting my ipod and everything I can think of but the photos tab just will not come up.
Anyone help? Greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Head to Settings -> Main Menu (something along those lines) and make sure the Photos option has a check mark next to it.

  • ITunes does not show my iPhoto photos and albums in iPod Photos tab

    When I connect my iPod to my Mac, iTunes displays the iPod device. However, under the Photos tab, when I select the "Sync photos from" checkbox, and select "iPhoto" from the dropdown list, the "All photos and albums" radio button below it shows "(0 photos)". Also, the "Selected albums (0 photos)" radio button is grayed out, and doesn't display any of my albums or photos in the list below.
    So, basically, iTunes acts as if I don't have anything in iPhoto at all. I did an experiment, and moved my iPhoto Library out of the Pictures folder, launched iPhoto, and created a new iPhoto Library. I also added some albums and photos. These appeared in iTunes just fine! But when I moved my original iPhoto Library folder back, iTunes went back to displaying nothing.
    I also tried rebuilding my iPhoto libary (launch holding down the Cmd-Opt keys, and selecting all items to rebuild. This did not fix anything in iTunes.

    Have you checked for non-ascii characters in your Album Names, Picture Titles or Keywords? Specifically, be wary of any characters apart from the 326 letters of the alphabet and the basic 0 - 9. !@£$%^&*() can all cause problems.
    Also, have a look at this thread,

    About half way down there's a post from Dave E which contains the following:
    Sal, I had a similar problem once. I'm sorry you had to go through so much of this but maybe what I discovered can still help you.
    - View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
    - Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
    - The XML under that looks kind of like this:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite</string>
    <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
    When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
    The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.

  • IPhone 3g, Photos tab missing in iTunes

    I've got a 3G iPhone and when I sync it with my computer there's not a photos tab anymore. I have the latest version 3.1.3 for the iPhone and I've been told that there should be a photo tab so I don't know what the problem is. Can someone help?

    I have possibly the same problem. I noticed one thing, if you resize the window smaller there is no scroll bar to get to hidden tab. You also cannot use the keyboard to get to hidden tabs. You can also not make the iTunes window larger that the current resolution. The last tab I can see is actually 'Photo' wiht the 's' cut off but I seem to remember with some of my clients there was an advanced tab at the end with at least backup options.
    My tabs are as following...
    Summary, Info, Applications, Ringtones, Music, Films, TV Programmes, Podcasts, iTunes U, Photo
    Hmmm, I thought of another way to get more room for the tabs, I moved the left vertical scroll bar all the way to the left. It seems that 'Photos' is the last tab. There should still be some way to go through to hidden tabs when your window is smaller. And where is the backup option? Not the option to encrypt the backup, since there is no backup yet.

  • Ipod preferences photo tab?

    I have the new itunes 7 and for some reason when I plug in my ipod, the photo tab in the ipod preferences screen doesn't show up. I used to have photos on my ipod and now it's just empty. Help!

    You will not see a Photo tab as you're Nano has not been updated/optimized for the Mac. Check your Nano software in "About" and see if it's still formatted as Fat32. If so, there's your problem. The solution in one of the Apple KB is to do a archive and install. Why, beacuse most likely you are missing the "iPodDriver.kext" file.

  • ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

    Can somebody help me?
    I have:
    + iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
    + Wi-fi connection
    + iOS5 installed
    iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
    Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
    Thank you very much!

    Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
    Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
    As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

  • 5th generation IPOD won't show PHOTOS tab

    Hi. I hope someone can help. I can't get the Photo tab to display when I connect my video IPOD. I know it works because I am able to add my photos using automatic sync. I've tried on 2 different pc's to no avail. I have also removed and reinstalled Itunes and restored my IPOD. I have searched forums for several days and can't find an answer.
    Has anyone heard of this problem?
    Thanks for your time.

    okay. while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the itunes sourcelist, and the ipod is selected, you should be seeing a "Summary" tab in your main library window. the photos tab is about the fourth or fifth tab in that display.
    here's a link to a screenshot of where i see attractive beast's Photos tab showing up. (since you've got a 5th gen ipod you should also be seeing a "Videos" tab in there.)

  • 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?

  • Photos tab is not selectable in the source list iPod nano

    Dear all,
    Could you please help me out? I want to import photos on my iPod nano (3rd generation). I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.
    The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
    Thank you for your answer (in advance.)

    *I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.*
    You can't add photos the same way as you add music, you have to choose the folder in the photos tab.

    The photos tab isn't in the source list, it's one of the preference tabs that appear in the main window when you click on the iPod icon in the source list.
    Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    On a small device like the 2GB Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
    iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view. if you want to include full size photos so you can move them from one computer to another check the "Include Full Resolution photos" box. When you want to change the photos on the iPod you simply add or remove the photos you want from your iPod Photos folder and sync the iPod.

  • No Photo tab under source list for 3rd generation ipod nano

    I have a 2nd generation ipod nano and recently purchased a 3rd generation ipod nano. I have the latest version of itunes, however, there is no photo tab under the source list. How am I supposed to import my photos?

    I am a brand new ipod user and I have not been able to find the summary, music videos and photos tabs. I have gone into every tab up on the Itunes tool bar and poked around but still can't find it. No such page opens up when I connect the nano. Can someone please help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Ipod touch photo thumbnails missing

    I transferred my iphoto library from a macbook pro to a new flat panel mac, both running 10.5.8. After syncing the photos, the names of the albums show up on my ipod touch, but the icons are scrambled or missing. If I touch one of the blank placeholders (where a photo should be) the photo appears. So, I am missing the thumbnails on the ipod touch. iPhoto works fine on the new machine.
    In other posts, mention was made about the ipod photo cache in the "package contents" of iphoto. When I look in there, no ipod photo cache on either machine.
    Have tried resetting the ipod, removing all photos from ipod and resynching ... but the same issue. Am guessing it is a cache file, but I can't find it. Any suggestions before I take the ipod back to factory settings? Not sure that will even do it if the computer is copying a goofy cache file.

    Well over a hundred views and no ideas .... guess I will have to give them a call ... yuck.

  • "Contacts" Tab missing when syncing iPod in iTunes 7

    My mother just upgraded to iTunes 7
    when she did so, she can not sync her contacts or calendar. With my machine, when you hook up your iPod, you get the new iPod Summary tab, Music Tab, Podcast Tab, & Contacts Tab in iTunes 7. With my mother, she doesnt have a "Contacts" tab.
    Her information is:
    iPod software version: 3.1.1
    iTunes: 7.0
    OS X: 10.3.9
    Processor: G5
    I hope someone can help.
    Cheers

    sorry guys, the above post should read "G4" instead of "G5". Also, I believe it is a double post. Sorry about that embaressed

  • Missing "photo" tab in iTunes.

    Hi guys,
    I've just about tried everything on the web and I can't believe i can't find any answers!
    I have no means of syncing photos from my PC to my iPhone using iTunes because the "Photos" tab does not appear. It has nothing to do with my screen resolution, or my iPhone not being connected properly... its just not there.
    There are 8 tabs (from left to right) , namely "Summary", "Info", "Applications", "Ringtones", "Music", "Films", TV Programmes" and lastly "Podcasts".
    I tried removing iTunes and reinstalling it but that doesn't work. Anyone with previous experience that has successfully repaired this issue?
    I'm using Windows XP by the way.
    HELP!!!!!

    Thanks for the info, you're right, it must be the size of the expanded window for itunes. If you can't see the black border around the tabs on the far left and far right side, you can't be sure that all tabs are shown.
