Is the iPod camera supposed to be grainy?

My friend's iPod has a clear camera. My one is a fourth gen!

Unless you have optimum lighting the still photos taken by the 4G iPod's camera are grainy

Questions about the ipod camera connector...

Hi,
i got some questions about the ipod camera connector.
1)Is the camera connector compatible with the Sony camera DSC-P93A ?
In fact, this camera got PTP protocol.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) Oui
Marque PIM (Print Image Matching) Oui
PictBridge™ Oui
So, do the camera need to have the three following protocols to be compatible with the camera connector ?
=>Mass Storage, PTP, and Type 4
Or maybe does it need only one of it??
2) Is it compatible with a USB memory card reader?
Thank you

Wel, if i've right understood what you said, my camera is compatible because it got PTP protocol ?
That's weird, cause i wrote a mail to sony to ask them about the compatibility of my camera, but they answered that it wasn't. But of course, i'll prefer to believe you than them !

Are Multiple Camera's supported using the iPod Camera Connector?

Hi,
This question is not about which camera is supported but about the possibilities to connect multiple digital Camera's to the same iPod.
Is this possible and how (if even possible) will the pictures be identifyable as coming from the different camera's being used?
Thanks for an answer which may lead to a new iPod user.
Regards,

Hi there,
Thanks for your answers!
About the only way to tell the photos apart is by
filenames. If you connect the iPod to the PC and
browse it as an external disk, you will see a
/Photos/xxxApple/yyyyy.JPG directory structure. xxx
increments up from 100. In my case, my camera has
photos with file names of DSCxxxx and my son's were
IMG_xxx so it was easy to tell which directory came
from each camera. YMMV.
Ok. This means it's no option for me (knowing that one of my friends has got exactly the same camera).
Each time you download photos from camera to iPod, it
creates a "roll" (everything from that download in a
single directory) showing number of photos, date and
time, plus total size. You scroll down the menu from
roll to roll and then can browse/view the photos from
each roll on the iPod. My only gripe is that you can
delete an entire roll from the iPod but can't delete
a single picture.
Ok. Thanks for sharing this info.
For the deletion: I think I have to start livingi with this and remove the unwanted pictures on the camera first or later on the PC.
In my case, I was downloading 50 (one memory stick)
or 75 (two) pictures from my camera, then 100 or so
from my son's (total of 3 "rolls"). After that the
iPod was still over half charged. One day I may have
done 1 or 2 more rolls (downloads). I wouldn't be
surpised if you managed 300-400 pictures downloaded
per charge. I typically just charged the cameras and
iPod each night and then took pictures all day,
downloaded the photos, and then charged again (with
some downloading mid-day on occasion). In your case,
sharing with lots of folks you may hit the battery
limit on the iPod. iPods charge pretty fast, you
might want to investigate a car/lighter USB adapter
to plug in if you are away from regular power.
Again, thanks for sharing this with me (us).

Is the iPod video supposed to suck out of the box?

I just purchased a brand new 30 GB iPod video and it's awful right out of the box. Everytime I start it up for some reason I get that Apple restart screen but nothing is restarted. When I click on a song under and album it takes 30 seconds to a minute for music to even start and when it does it's two or three songs later than what I actually clicked on. It's also incredibly slow switching songs and menus, especially songs.
I heard the iPod videos can just be like this and many are. Is this true? If so, back to the drawing board, Apple.
Also, is anyone else upset it doesnt support firewire?

I read it now supports firewire but i don't believe it. Well I got a new a 30 Gig Video Ipod too and it works like a charm, you probaly got a defected model, it happens, and if you have a warranty get it replaced because even the limited warranty from apple will take it back if its defected (just don't say you dropped it even if you did).

My camera gives a very grainy type of photos and on zoom the grain texture becomes highly prominent. Is it in all ipods or my camera has a problem???

please help me wid the problem of my camera as it is not giving clear and fine pictures as it is supposed to give according to the features shown on apple site....
thank you...,

The iPod camera is not that good, especially in poor light. It is on 0.7 MP. Increasing the lighting on the subject of the photo really helps.

Can you import raw photos via a camera or card to the ipod?

I am considering buying an ipod classic, becuase I need to be able to store photos whilst on holiday to a large storage device. I suspect that I might not be able to view the files on an ipod, but I was hoping that I might at least be able to transfer them via a camera connector or some sort of card reader. I think you can do this via the ipad, but there just isnt enough storage space, and I dont want to take around something that large.

You used to be able to with the iPod Camera Connection kit, but unfortunately it does not work with any model iPod released after September 2007 including the 160 GB iPod Classic. I have not seen any other alternatives that would work.

Using iPod Camera Connector on the new iPod Classic

Hi, I have successfully used the iPod Camera Connector on my old Classic iPod to back up my camera. Would like to move with the times and buy the new iPod Classic but don't want to loose the ability to back up - will the camera connector work with the new Classic please? (and has anybody done it?)

Why can't this work with the classic?
another thread states "as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer)."
Well, my classic does support disk use so I would like the option to use this. Is it really that hard to have a software update to recognise a piece of software that has presumably been programmed before for previous models

"Syncing"= Is Ipod really supposed to erase all the music I've stored?

Is the Ipod really supposed to erase all the music I've stored? It seems that synching is just a euphemism for "erase all your music"? I use 2 different computers (different states) and I can't figure out how to keep it from erasing everything I've worked to store. Am I just missing the "Please don't erase all my music" box? And shouldn't I be able to transfer music I've loaded on a different "authorized" computer to another one?
thank you for any guidance.

Click here and follow the instructions; the iPod shuffle can only contain content from one iTunes library at a time.

About viewing images that are not the same dimensions as the iPod screen

I sent some images to my iPod via email. I saved them to my photo library. When I went to look at them, I noticed something odd was happening: my iPod is sort of 'stretching' the images so they fit the entire screen of my iPod, even if that means a) cutting off parts of the image (either top and bottom or the two sides), or b) is stretching the dimensions of the image to fit the screen--I can't tell which is happening, though I think the former.
I can view the image correctly by pinching it a bit, but if I move to another image and come back, it's back to being stretched.
I know that in Photoshop I can add a black boarder (either top and bottom or on the sides), so the image with the border matches the dimensions of the screen, but that seems like a pain in the rear to do with each image. This seems like an odd quirk of the iPod, given that they are trying to use the camera and image viewing as a selling point.
Is there any setting on the iPod so I can keep it from doing this (I noticed that it does this even with photos I take with the iPod camera, because they have slightly different dimensions than the screen)? And if not, does anyone know the ratio (side to top) or resolution (in pixels) of the screen so I can match it.
Thanks, David

So generous people; thank you for your time.
I visited the camera store and we discovered that my camera lcd was set to the maximum brightness level which completely distorted any understanding of my exposure. What I now see on the lcd in terms of ligt and shadow is very similar to what I see on my computer screen.
Maybe you can shed light on this:
I also may need to just upgrade my imac. On the camera store's late model imac my images were tac sharp but on my imac they look quite soft and still have less light.
There is also still some difference in terms of color settings. My camera's colors have a brighter pinkish tone and on the camera store's imac and mine the tone is yellowish orange.
I will try DPReview and Nikoncafe. My first step is to reset my cameras to factory defaults and then upload and compare.
Thank you both for your help

New Nano and iPod Camera Connector?

I just bought the new iPod Nano (3rd generation) and the iPod Camera Connector.
The iPod is not recognizing the camera connector. When I connect the camera connector to the iPod, I get this message: "Unsupported accessory is not supported".
The genius Apple salesman assured me that it would work. Meanwhile, the camera connector works fine with my iPod Color 60GB model.
Can anyone help me out? Has anyone tried this? I have a funny feeling, (even though the salesman assured me it would work.) that it is not compatible.
Thanks!

None of the new iPods (Classic, Touch, or 3rd gen Nano) support the camera connector. Based on the fact that other dock connecting accessories which worked with the older iPods don't work with the new ones, it's probably a hardware difference in the dock.
Apple has not announced any new camera connector that will work with the new iPods. Sorry.

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

HT201272 How do I get the songs from my iPod to my iPhone? Not the songs from my library the songs in the iPod that says on this iPod

How do I get the songs from my iPod nano to my iPhone? Not my library the songs from on this iPod?

All of the songs from the ipod came from your computer in the first place.
Sync them from the computer to the iphone.

What to do if you drop your Ipod and the top half of the screen is off and the ipod will no longer recognize your figure when you touch the screen

So I dropped my Ipod on the floor and the top half of the Ipod came off and the screen will not recognize my figure when I try to swipe it to unlock the screen what do I do. But keep in mind that I have no money to fix it so how do I get it to work again?

Likely because the drop broke something like the digitizer.
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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
