IPod touch photo album glitch + Keyboard layout

Hi everyone. I have had this erreor since I updated to the latest software. Whenever I go into the photos on my iPod, I can't access one of my photo albums, and I can't quite explain why, I'll let the picture do the tallking.
Also, is there any way to get Dvorak keyboard layout on here? I tried to go nito the keybaord layou and Dvorak did exist under "Hardware keyboard," but I tried it and it didn't do anything.. it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I uso Dvorak on my desktop always, and Qwerty is really throwing me off!

Will that replace the standard keyboard or will I have to run it EVERY time I want to type something?

  • IPod Touch skips, stutters, glitches through songs since software upgrade!

    Hi everyone,
    *Since I upgraded my iPod Touch* to the latest available software update +(for the 1st Gen is 3.1.3)+, it has become *unable to properly play any music encoded above 128kbps*. Before the upgrade, my iPod could play music encoded in any higher bitrates like a champ! All the way to 320kbps, variable, even Apple Lossless format used to play flawlessly.
    Suddenly after the last *firmware update*, most of the songs in my iPod Touch would *skip, glitch and garble, making electronic glitches and annoying noises* for no apparent reason. On occasion, the iPod would even *add several second of silence in the middle of random songs*. It's bizarre!
    It definitely took me a while to figure it out, and spent weeks testing and researching what could be the problem. It was truly driving me nuts! The result of all these tests was clear: the *iPod Touch now CHOKES on any music file encoded higher than 128 kbps ACC*. Truly pathetic for such an expensive little jukebox. Even the early MP3 players I owned 10 years ago were able to play variable rate MP3 files without a glitch. *_This is a major bug that needs to be solved_*.
    For those interested, I did the following tests through my weeks of research to find out the culprit to this problem:
    - - - Reinstalled the device software
    - - - Reformatted the device, then updated the software
    - - - Uninstalled all apps, reinstalled and tested my music after reinstalling each app
    - - - Disabled Wi-Fi (no difference)
    - - - Copied over my music library from scratch, several times (it was painful)
    - - - Reformatted a few albums in different bitrates, from 96kbps, all the way to 320kbps, both in constant and variable rates, and tested them one by one. This took days.
    In the end, there is one thing that was consistently clear: *any songs encoded over 128kbps would skip, glitch and sound corrupted. Time after time*. All those music files I had encoded at higher rates +(192 kbps, variable 240 kbps and beyond)+ would make the iPod choke.
    There is one temporary solution to this mess, but it involves reducing the quality of your music files: The only way I can now play my music collection in my iPod Touch without skips and glitches is by downconverting my files to the now *obsolete 128kbps*. Only when I converted my music to 128kbps, the annoying skips and glitches stopped. For an audiophile like myself, this was an absolutely painful decision, as I can tell the *obvious loss in quality and nuance in my music files since i had to downconvert them*.
    Funny: this skipping problem *also affects any files purchased from iTunes* +(encoded at 240 kbps variable rate)+. Should I ask for my money back, Apple?
    I find this irritating and painful, since *the ONE THING the iPod is supposed to do well* (aside from apps, games, and web browsing) *is to PLAY AUDIO AND MUSIC FILES*.
    I spent a lot of money on this machine, and until recently it worked like magic; I just wished it played music again like it's supposed to. It's what the iPod was built to do. *Apple: Please fix the software!*
    I wonder if there's a forum where I could post my detailed findings, so Apple engineers can take note of this *MAJOR BUG*.
    PS: I have recently learned this is a very common bug, and tons of people are reaching out telling me they are experiencing the same annoying problems. Furthermore, *this seems to affect not just the 1st Gen, but ALL generations of the iPod Touch*. It's a *widespread software issue* that was not properly addressed in the latest software upgrade. I'm starting to worry about Apple's quality assurance process.

    Hi everyone. Thanks to a tip in another forum, I think I had a breakthrough regarding this problem. I have the strong suspicion it's not the software for the iPod Touch, but instead, the problem comes from *iTunes and how it handles USB 2.0 transfers*.
    To make a long story short, all your *music that's encoded above 128 kbps gets corrupted when you transfer it to your Touch from iTunes through your USB 2.0 connection*. That's where the problem is!
    I performed this simple test:
    *PART 1 - WIFI*
    - I connected my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi to the iTunes Store. Bought an album encoded at a very high bitrate (Coldplay's "Viva la Vida", encoded at 256KBPS).
    - Downloaded the Coldplay album directly to my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi.
    - Tested every song in the album, and they all played flawlessly.
    *PART 2 - USB 2.0*
    - Now, I erased the Coldplay album from my iPod Touch.
    - Connected my iPod Touch to my computer, and downloaded the album again via iTunes. I copied the very same album to my iPod Touch, this time using the USB 2.0 connection.
    - I tested every song in the album. Guess what: most of them are corrupted, skipping, glitching, making garbled noises.
    I think a reached a minor "eureka" moment. *It's not the iPod Touch software: It's iTunes, and how iTunes deals with your USB 2.0 connection*.
    Now, I'm not an engineer, and I don't know how to fix this problem. I wonder if there's anyone out there there that knows why high bitrate files get corrupted during the file transfer. Hope anyone can shed some additional light on this issue, so we can find a solution.

  • Ipod touch picture album

    how do i make separate picture albums for my ipod touch.
    For example, when you go to photos, it says photo library as one thumbnail. But a friend of mine had multiple thumbnails that had their own pictures, how do i do this, itunes only syncs from a folder and doesn't let you name them

    Just put the pictures into separate folders inside the main picture folder. So if all of your pictures are in "My Pictures" any submenu you would like in your iTouch would be another folder inside the main one.
    Example:
    Main Folder: My Pictures
    ..Sub Folder: Vacation
    ..Sub Folder: Birthday
    ..Sub Folder: random pictures

  • 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.

  • IPod Touch Duplicates Albums and Artists

    Hi, I recently got a 3rd Gen iPod Touch (64gb) and have had some trouble after syncing it to my iTunes library. My old iPod never had any problems, but after syncing the iPod Touch many of the albums and some of the artists in my library appear twice.
    I've checked for spaces after the names or different album artwork, but the real problem is that the albums or artists are listed twice in their entrety - every song appears twice. Is there any fix for this?

    I also recently got a 3rd gen iPod Touch (32GB) and saw the same feature.
    It appeared that if an album had different artists then the album was duplicated for each different artist name.
    A solution which seems to work is to set the compilation to 'yes' :-as follows
    Select all the tunes in the album
    Get info
    asks - do you want to edit information for multiple items - yes
    Select Options tab
    Part of compilation - set to yes
    Resync

  • Syncing issues with iPod Touch - missing albums & artwork

    What do you do when you have synced your whole library but some albums/songs haven't transferred? Then when you try a second time, ALL artwork disappears from the iPod Touch? I daren't try syncing again as I don't know what's going to disappear next.

    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/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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:

  • IPod Touch 4G Camera Glitch

    I'm finding it kind of weird how my ipod touch 4g (ios 5.0.1) camera's glitching. By simply touching the Camera app it starts up and as soon as the camera lense animation launches, I get a black screen. I cant switch cameras or take pics, you switch modes. But I did notice the bottom right screen where the slider between video and picture is jittery. It would flash alittle beside the camera icon and do nothing. I've tried resetting everything and restoring it, but I think its a hardware problem. Only thing thats funny is that when I enter facetime, the front camera works just fine, but when I switch to the rear camera, facetime freezes and disconnects the call. Any help? please and thank you.

    To rule out a software problem try the following:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Retore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Ipod Touch Photo Transfer

    HI;
    Part 2: I understand there is no direct transfer available at this time for photos. However, what I have found is that with my phone I can take 2megapixel photos and e-mail them or put in a microsd card from a camera and upload them to an e-mail address. They come through onto the Ipod touch promptly, and look excellent in the web browser.
    When I save them, I lose all the resolution and they look horrible from the photos app.
    So now all I am looking for is a way to save my photos from mail in there regular resolution.
    Thanks so much
    Jamie

    what do you mean by 'no direct transfer' for photos?
    you can directly transfer them from you computer to your ipod, syncing them like you do everything else.
    the resolution of photos obtained on the ipod touch is a common problem (though not one i have encountered personally). the latest update claimed to fix this, some people said it worked, others say it didn't. unfortunately there may be nothing you can do about this - other than feedback to apple to let them know it is still happening.

    edit: ok, i've see your original post about 'direct transfer'.

  • New iPod Touch, duplicated albums with same songs in each album?

    I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

    an ID3 Tag is the data that is used to properly identify the music that is playing on the track. For instance, if you have a song playing on your iPod, it'll tell you the song name and artist, and what disc it's on. That's what the ID3 Tag is responsible for. Otherwise it'd just read the filename of the track and call it like that. No organization whatsoever.

  • Pls Advise Why my iPod Touch's Albums: Tiny black screens, not pictures

    Hello,
    I've got a 16GB iPod Touch, 1st generation with 2.1 Software Update. I manage the music manually on a Windows XP desktop. I love this device and have been loving it since i got it as a Valentine's gift early this year.
    I'd customized some of the album art images with jpgs found online, saved to hard drive. this was especially useful for those albums (homemade) that didn't have cover art associated with on iTunes/Gracenotes or wherever apple goes to find cover art.
    The problem now is that in the Music Folder, when I browse Albums on the Vertical (not Cover Flow) view, some images are 1) misplaced i.e. Snoop Dogg's picture where Chaka Khan's should be or 2) images are replaced with a tiny black screen. (this isn't the negative black screen I've been reading about) There seems to be some error in how the Album View Vertical is working. When I flip through the images in Cover Flow (Horizontal) every thing is fine; even the tiny black screens of the Vertical mode show their true picture in horizontal Cover Flow. i'm wondering about the tiny black screen, since I usually get a musical note image if there is no art, not a black screen.
    So here are my questions:
    1) Why am I getting tiny black screens instead of album art images in the Albums preview screens?
    2) Could this be related to some general sluggish responses to the screen at times?
    3) I have two total pages of applications that work fine (if sluggish--the NYTimes is a big culprit in the sluggishness department-even blanking out the iPod, but even sweet Wurdle can act up), would this be related?
    4) Is there a way to fix this tiny black screens issue without having to wipe the whole iPod clean (sniff! fingers crossed!)
    Thanks!

    I had the exact same issue and just spent a good chunk of time fixing things. I made note of each bad album - covers were OK in Cover Flow and when song was playing but vertical scroll and tiny thumbnail in the corner of the tracks window showed only a black thumbnail - then deleted these albums from my iPod. Then I went back and re-added these albums to my iPod but added them ONE AT A TIME by showing the artwork column in my library and dragging them over by the artwork and waiting for each album to finish and finish syncing before dragging the next one over. This seems to have brought back the tiny thumbnails and fixed the problem for now. I have no idea why it did this but I think there's an artwork bug in iTunes that needs to be fixed in the next update as many others have said that dragging over too many albums at once seems to cause issues with artwork showing up in general.
    I know it sounds like a pain to drag over one album at a time and wait for it to finish but it seems to be the only way to do things for now. Hope this helps.

  • Ipod touch lyric syncing glitch, any work-arounds?

    I have an iPod touch and for quite a while I've been using iTunes for music.
    I've noticed that the lyrics sync, but if the song had lyrics during a previous sync, the lyrics don't change on the iPod when I sync them again.
    On iTunes, the lyrics ARE changed, both in my library and on the list of music on my iPod, but the lyrics haven't changed on the iPod.
    Are there ways to fix this?
    I have tried deleting and replacing lyrics, resetting iPod (Which I will not do again), and even triple syncing after each change to the lyrics.
    This glitch/bug is a nuisance because it means I can only change the lyrics once; and only if it didn't already have lyrics.
    Also, is there any "bug report" here on apple.com?
    I've noticed that the only time I can talk to apple representatives (they don't answer the communities too often) is over the phone, which is extremely inconvenient if you don't have the time to stay on the phone for a few hours trying to snipe a simple error. Especially when you take into account re-installing and updating software to fix issues.

    I solved my problem, here's the steps for anyone who stumbles upon this:
    1. Correct/add lyrics through iTunes on your computer
    2. copy lyrics
    3. Delete song from your iPod and iTunes music library (click "Keep File" in iTunes)
    4. Sync your iPod to iTunes
    5. Go to File>Add File to Library
    6. Locate the song you removed and double click on it
    7. Download artwork (optional)
    8. Add lyrics (you should have it copied, so just paste them in)
    9. Sync your iPod
    10. Refresh the Music app by closing it (in the multitask bar) or changing songs
    11. enjoy singing along with your song(s)

  • IPod Touch Photo syncing

    Ok so i recently restored and updated my iPod Touch (4th gen) to iOS 6.1.5 but i backed up all my photos to my computer b4 the restore cuz i knew it would delete everything (and obviously it did) but when i went to go sync my photos back to my iPod (with the photo's tab under the iPod summary) something happened, i have 1.24 gigs of photos i want to sync to my iPod but iTunes says its going to take up 4.50 gigs, and i only have a 6.40 capacity on my iPod so obviously that just isnt gonna work out, is there some way i can fix this or is there an alternative way i can sync my photos to my iPod without it taking up a great clusture of my memory?????
    ALSO i tried the iCloud Photo Stream to check it out, and it did i sent myself a family pic i use as my wall paper but when i checked it on iTunes it said "1 Photo = 14.8MB" an on the Windows explorer it says its only 373KB which is a huge difference
    Is there some way to fix this or is iTunes trolling with me or can i fix this by restoring my iPod OR WHAT
    Thanks

    Hello, Waluigi 64. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache and the sync the photos to your iPod.  The iPod Photo Cache is usually located in your My Pictures folder.
