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:

IPhoto Slideshow to iPod-- Photos but not the Music?

Spent the entire evening trying to transfer my iPhoto slideshows (with music) to 5G iPod. The photos are there-- but the music i set in iPhoto is not there.
The music is on my iPod-- and the slideshow settings are synched to iPhoto as instructed in the tutorials-- but I'm not getting the slideshow music. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Why does iTunes use an iPod Photo Cache at all?

Hi,
When iTunes is used to synchronize photos to a device, it creates an "iPod Photo Cache" folder. Why does this folder even exist?
For users that have multiple devices with multiple resolutions (e.g., iPad 3rd Generation, iPad Mini, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3G), the iPod Photo Cache is grow to approximately four times the original size of the photo. If I have 15 GBs of photos and a 250 GB hard drive, then the combined usage of 75 GBs (15 GB photos + 60 GB cache) is extremely unreasonble.
Device resolutions change often enough (these days) such that having multiple devices is probably more common than having more than one of a single product. iTunes should be designed to do the real-time conversion (which it already does), but not save it to the hard drive.
Also allowing the ability to change the location of the "iPod Photo Cache" folder would help many users, but not myself since I do not have an external drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Thank you for your response. I should have clarified. When trying to delete from the library, it gives me the option to delete them from the computer or just from the library. I choose not to delete them from the computer, just the library. As a result, I would not expect the deletions to free up room on the hard drive, but I don't see how it actually increases the space used up on the hard drive. If I delete a song from the library, but not the computer, does iTunes save the song again someplace else (such that there are now two copies of the song somewhere on the system)? That seems to be the only explanation for why the free space on my hard drive would decrease after deleting a song from the library.

Multiple copies of same photo on same page seems to assume A4?

I'm trying hard to work out how to print out multiple copies of the same picture. I want to get 2 copies on each 4x6" sheet of photo paper and have followed all the steps...
Selected 1 picture, hit print, went to Settings, selected "Multiple of the same photo per page".
I then went to Print Settings, selected Borderless 4x6 (yes, the printer works fine with that usually - HP Photosmart C4280) and set the Print Size to 2x3 and the preview shows the 2 copies of the same photo side-by-side no problem.
So I hit OK, clicked on Print and...
It's not aligning with the left hand side of the 4x6 - it's not respecting the selected paper size. If I put in a sheet of A4 to test, the 2 pictures come out in the centre of the page (in the requested size). So as a result I can't print on the 4x6 paper as most of the picture gets printed on nothing!
Am I doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug in either iPhoto or the HP printer driver? Anyone had any success with this? If so, what kind of printer were you using?

Jemster:
Here's the workflow I used to get 2 2x3s on a 4x6:
1 - select photo & click on print button
2 - select 4x6 borderless and 2x3 print size
3 - click Customize button
4 - click on settings button
5 - select "Multiple of same photo per page" (after clicking OK two photo are shown on the preview)
6 - click on the Print button.
Where I differ is that I don't go back to Print Settings to select the 4x6 paper size after Step 5. Give that a try.
NOTE: Do a Print to PDF to check it out instead of printing on paper. That will save some paper in case it doesn't work.
That gives me two photos on the 4x6. I'm using a Canon i850. I also get the same results with an Epson R280.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPod Photo 60GB goes from sad icon to no reaction at all

After getting the sad icon after plugging it in, I took apart the iPod so I could reseat the hard drive and see what happens. I still got the sad icon (yes, sometimes re-seating the hard drive brings it back to life, based on my experiences), so I wanted to try again and put pressure on the center of the hard drive platters with my thumb.
In doing so, I accidentally disconnected the molex connector to the hold-switch. I forgot the state of the hold switch when this happened.
I put everything back together to see what will happen when I plug in the sync/power cable.
There's no reaction and no Apple logo.
How can I bring back the iPod at least back to the sad-icon state?
Thanks for reading.

I believe you broke the iPod completely, but have a read of the following and see if it helps
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
http://www.ifixit.com/
http://www.rapidrepair.com/shop/g4-ipod-parts.html
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

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!

IPod Photo stuck in "connect external power" mode

I recently purchased a used 60gb iPod Photo from a Goodwill. I restored it, but it required me to update. Restored, updated, but being an older iPod, the screen showed the "connect external power" icon. I found an external power source and it has been connected for nearly 2 hours, and it still isn't responding. I think it's stuck but I'm not sure. I've tried resetting it and using multiple different outlets, but nothing seems to be working. It still shows the external power logo.

The iPod photo is a 4th gen iPod, and that particular model requires you to connect it to an Apple USB power adapter to complete the Restore process (it's not related to doing an update). These iPod's came with a USB power adapter, so the expectation is that the iPod's owner has one. I heard this is because the iPod needs a higher voltage that is not available from a computer's USB port to complete the Restore, which is probably why it does not work with the "external power source" you tried.
You need to get an Apple USB power adapter. Or, if there is an Apple Store nearby, you can probably take it there (to the store's Genius Bar) and ask if you can plug it into one of their power adapters, to complete that last step. Do not have them do the full Restore process on a Mac, if you use Windows.

Multiple Slideshows On One Page

Hi, I'm wanting to have a dynamic region which consists of 4
images with fixed sizes. I then want each of these images to run
through a dataset of image paths fading between each image at a set
interval (Much like the Spry Photo Gallery Slideshow does).
I've edited the photogallery down to just the fixed size
image fading between the dataset (e.g. I removed the thumbnails and
controls etc so that it is automatic and continuous).
Unfortunatelly my JavaScript skills are limited and I was
wondering what would be involved to edit the script further to
allow me to have 4 of these slideshows on one page instead of just
the one 'mainImage'.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not entirely sure how you mean to achieve this via css?
here's my current code. With this I can generate multiple
slideshows (currently using the same dataset) however only the
first one seems to acknowledge the defined fixed image sizes, the
rest display the original image dimensions within the container
sized to the defined dimensions. How come the images don't resize
for both? I'm calling the same function. Any help much appreciated
thanks.

function KillSlideShowTimer()
if (gSlideShowTimer)
clearTimeout(gSlideShowTimer);
gSlideShowTimer = null;
// Start the slide show that runs forwards through all

function StartSlideShow(skipTimer)
gSlideShowOn = true;
if (!skipTimer)
SetSlideShowTimer();
// Kill any slide show that is currently running.
function StopSlideShow()
gSlideShowOn = false;
KillSlideShowTimer();
Also if someone could explain how i could set the dataset for
each image(coverImage) to be for each <set id=""> that would
be great.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

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.

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete 1copy

Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?

Ipod photo restore problems

i recently bought a second hand ipod and decided to restore it so i could start again. i followed the directions correctly. when the connect to mains icon appeared, i done so accordingly. sadly nothing happened. the icon still appeared even though i had attached it to the mains. i have also tried a car charger and even re-attaching it to my pc on different usb ports with different usb cables.
i hope i'm not left with a fancy paper weight.
thanks in advance.

the system files of your iPod get corrupted, thats why you get the folder exclmation marks.
see the following helps
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

IDVD slideshow to iPod?

I've created several home movies and iDVD slideshows. The movies transfer over fine using Handbrake to rip them off the DVD. I can't seem to get the iDVD slideshow to rip/play correctly. When I play the slideshow "video", the music plays OK..but the photos just whiz by in the first 3 or 4 seconds and then stop.
Has anyone had luck in extracting iDVD slideshows (for iPods)?

I've owned a new 20" 2.0 Ghz core duo iMac for about a month now. Coming from an old Mac user dating back to the SE/30 and forward- enough to say I've been around a while. I use both platforms ( and delved into Linux). I must say the intel iMac SCREAMS compared to the G4 Powerbook I've been using for a few years. It's quiet, the screen is GORGEOUS, and I can be running several apps and only use 30-40% of the processor(s) (checking w/ a widget). Games just FLY at high quality ( Quake 4 & Unreal Tournament 2004).
The software is BY FAR better than anything you'll find on XP- I know- I use both! At 38 years old- I've been doing this since programming basic w/ a TRS-80 with a whole 16k of memory- computers simply don't get much better or more productive OR easier to use than these new iMacs w/ the Intel processers. The PRO apps are truly ungodly incredible- talk about TRUE creative power and EVERY BIT worth the money! Thanks Apple!

Use iPod Photo on a larger display

I am looking to build a digital picture frame to hang on a wall. My hope is that I could build a large unit (17" display) for a lot less than I have seen them advertised. If I were to mount a 17" LCD screen within a case of some type and make it look like a frame, can I attach an iPod photo to the screen input so that the iPod provides the slideshow? This would eliminate the need for an OS or application in the frame and would allow me to use the iPod for music when not showing pictures.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
David

One reason your frame will cost less than the ones you've seen advertised is that your image quality won't be as good. I believe the iPod photo only supports RCA video out. The Apple iPod AV Cable picture shows a cable with three jacks, probably RCA video out plus RCA stereo audio. It looks like it does basic NTSC video, approx. 640x480 if you're lucky. The quality ladder looks like this, from worst to best:
Analog NTSC video, RCA composite (iPod photo, older TVs)
Analog NTSC video, S-video (better TVs)
Analog VGA (CRT monitors, low-end analog LCDs)
Digital Video Interface (DVI) (High-end LCDs, iBooks, PowerBooks, Apple Cinema Displays)
Due to the iPod photo's video output, which is designed for a family room TV, you can't use just any LCD monitor designed for computer video input, since most of those take VGA or DVI. You will need to locate an LCD screen that has analog TV inputs that match the RCA jacks on the iPod photo AV cable. They do exist, I think Samsung makes a few.
Some do-it-yourself LCD picture frame projects use the guts and the video hardware of an old laptop. That achieves at least computer-quality video. I don't know what the expensive frames use but I guess it must be something laptop-like, such as DVI, showing far higher resolution and better color than analog NTSC.
I'm not telling you not to do it, I'm just setting your expectations. If you're happy with the way the iPod photos look on your TV, then you'll be happy with your project.
If there's another, better way to get video out of an iPod photo, someone can correct me.

Can't see photos on ipod photo 40G

Hi,
I bought a 40G ipod photo with colour display last christmas'05. The old firmware couldnt display photos.
recently, i upgraded the firmware with updater. But I still cant display the photos.
Could anyone help?
Paul

Sorry for the late reply,
From the main menu of the ipod, after selecting photos, and enter, I only see the SlideShow settings on the next menu.
Am I supposed to see another selection of photo libraries other then this slideshow settings.
Basically, I am unable to reach a selction leading to the photo library so that I can select the photo for viewing.
Also under Settings>About>
Songs - 383
Photos - 0
Capacity - 37.1 GB
Available 28.9 GB
Version 1.2
Serial no .....
Photos were actually transfered by copying folder containing photos in Windows XP into the ipod icon in Windows XP.
Appreciate if you could help.
Thanks

60GB iPod Photo Not Syncing/Connecting/Showing (New March 2005)

I have an 4G iPod photo that has worked flawlessly until one morning it stopped syncing. That is, showing up at all on the desktop. I have a Dual G5 Rev A PowerMac. No connection via FireWire 800, 400, or USB 2.0.
It shows up once every 20 to 50 tries. Does not show up on my wife's iBook via USB 2.0 either.
The last time it installed, I did run Disk Utility and reinstalled the iPod software to no avail. The iPod plays fine, has plenty of battery time, and charges just fine off the AC adapter. I replaced the battery with the same results.
I have done the 5 "R's" multiple times, and reinstalled OS X 10.4.7 also.
No errors, no Sad iPod, no syncing.
Say it: What's Up???

Not answered, moved on.
