ITunes won't properly upload photo/images onto iPod nano

Everything else is working just fine and this isn't really a huge issue but just irritating.
iTunes has just today decided to not copy photos to my iPod nano after I selected a different photos folder to copy in the preferences window. As usual it displayed the message "Optimizing Photo _" blah blah until the photos were all optimized....
But then it didn't start copying the photos. In the information bar at the top of iTunes, it just said "iPod update is complete."
I don't understand because I've previously deleted photos and changed the files to be copied to the iPod many times without any issues. This scenario happens everytime now and I can't get it to COPY the photos to my iPod.
Restarting the computer does nothing, as with trying a different USB port. And it seems like too much work to reset or restore my iPod, or reinstall the iTunes software.
I don't want to go to such drastic measures before I check with you people its not something error I have made that is easily fixed.
So, anyone know what's up with this? Is there something I have missed?
your input and advice would be much appreciated.

PROBLEM FIXED!
Solution: Restore iPod nano using the 'iPod Updater 2006-01-10' which is downloadable from this site and is a 45.5 MB file size. The program also updates iTunes quickly and without hassle.
I have no idea what the cause was, but this seemed to fix it. I CAN COPY PHOTOS TO THE IPOD YAY!!!
Don't worry about your music, as long as you have a copy of all your iPod songs in your iTunes Library, then its all good. After you've restored your ipod, just copy and drag all the songs you want from your Library to you iPod (in iTunes), and change some of the default settings on your iPod to how you prefer it.
Easy.

  • My Lexar sd card won't let me put images onto it.

    I got a Lexar SD card not long ago and it won't let me drag images onto it. Whenever I drag an image to the SD card window, a small no sign will appear by the file and I can't put it in.  I've looked around the internet and seemingly nobody has the same problem. Please help.

    Click on the drive, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
    If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
    If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
    If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

    i accidently deleted itunes on my pc!!!  i still have all my music and photos on my ipod nano 6th gen,,,is it possible to transfer content from my nano back onto my pc???

    No, unless the songs were purchased from iTunes. In that case, you Transfer Purchases to computer iTunes.
    Otherwise, what you need is a 3rd party tool:

  • Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

    Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

    No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
    With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.

  • Synching photos issues on ipod nano 7th generation

    I have a windows 7 64 bits PC. In the PC I created a folder with 4 .jpg photos. Using the iTunes I tried to synch tose photos with my iPod nano. I got 0 photos on the iPod. I already updated the itunes and iPhone software to the latest versions. The issue was not solved.

    Before you sync, go to "music" in ipod menu (in Itunes) and select "sync photos". This is not selected by default. Select accordingly (same with music, podcast, etc.) then perform the sync again. Cheers!

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • ITunes and iPhoto won't sync or upload photos from my iPod

    I have photos in my 1st generation iPod that I would like to remove and place on my computer.
    When I hook up the iPod to my mini mac and open iPhoto, I am unable to import the images into the library.  It won't allow me to choose the Photos Database file or the two .ithmbs files in the Photos folder.
    When I tried to sync the iPod, it tells me that the existing images on my computer will override and delete the existing photos in the iPod.
    How can I convert the .ithmb files to .jpg and remove them from the iPod?
    All the forum info and converters I find online are for Windows and I don't see anyone having this issue on a Mac.
    Any advice would be helpful since I need to return this iPod to Apple soon due to the 1st gen iPod Nano battery recall.
    Thanks,
    Blue

    >All the forum info and converters I find online are for Windows and I don't see anyone having this issue on a Mac.
    If all existing converters are for Windows why don't you copy your ITHMB files to Windows and use the converters?

    Hey there Ellens1,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync your music to your iPod Nano but something is preventing the sync. If you are using the the following process to sync the content:
