Old iPod photo pictures to iPhoto

I have an old iPod photo (grey wheel/colour screen) which allows me to connect my camera to an Apple adapter at the bottom of the iPod and import pictures off my camera card and onto the iPod.
However when I plug this old iPod into my new iMac with iPhoto 09, iPhoto does not recognise any of the pictures on the iPod or give me the option to import them.
I can view and browse the pictures on the iPod so they are there. But how do I import them??

Simon
You need to enable Hard Disk use on the iPod (you do this through iTunes) and then - if the full size photos are there - you'll be able to import them.

  • Camera adapter for old ipod photo 60GB - does it work with ipad 2?

    Ive bought my wife an ipad 2 for Xmas.
    whilst looking at the accessories could've got carried away. Definately like the camera adapter kit, but realised the USB adapter looks identical to an adaptor ive already got for the old ipod Photo 60Gb (a few years old now obviously).
    i cant test it on the ipad as its all boxed and wrapped, so to save another wad if someone could enlighten would be grateful !

    thats pretty conclusive then, thanks for the steer.

  • My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

    My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

    What's the error message say, exactly?  Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it?  Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
    I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo."  It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1.  I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion.  It connected and synced fine using USB.

  • Does any one know of a way to sync movies from my itunes to old Ipod Photo

    I have a 60GB Ipod Photo (the old brick type) and I want to use it to view movies that I have on my itunes. I tried to get my movies to sync to ipod photo but it just is not visible on my ipod although there is a playlist called movies in my Ipod Photo. When I connect my Ipod Photo to Itunes, the itunes shows the list of movies I have in my movies folder in my library, but I am unable to neither create a new playlist in ipod photo and copy all my movies nor can I copy all the movies I have in my library to ipod photo. Any simple to comples suggestions are welcome. Is it possible at all to make my ipod Photo store and play movies?

    Is it possible at all to make my ipod Photo store and play movies?
    No. Even though it has a Movies playlist, it isn't capable of playing video content.

  • Deleting iPod Photo Cache fixes iPhoto syncing error 208

    Thanks to some buried posts, I learned that deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" in the iPhoto Library folder fixes the -208 error that occurs when syncing an iPod Video with images in iPhoto. Instead of manually deleting this folder, however, I used OnyX to clean all the caches.
    I wish I tried this first before going through the iPod Restore process...

    Hi Paul,
    I followed your advice and I simply deleted the contents of the iPod Photo Cache folder, after having backed up the entire iPhoto Library.
    Before doing it tried to solve the problem by I restarting iTunes, iPhoto and PowerBook a few times, hoping that it would have trigger the clean-up of the cached photo files. It did not.
    So far I have not noticed any problems with iPhoto or iPod after the "forced" deletion. However, I am a little surprised that the cached files are not cleaned up automatically when the user reduces his selection of photos to be synced to iPod. Maybe the logic is that it is good to have even unused cached copies of the photos is case they are needed later (creating them is quite slow). Also I would have wanted to keep them, but I run out of disk space

  • Old, low resolution pictures in iPhoto

    Are there any techniques for viewing old, low resolution photos decently once their imported into iPhoto? Preview and other image viewers just open a version small enough to be clear, but in iPhoto they come out pixelated and blurry.

    Hi Tom
    you might find this suggestion strange (so would you peter), launch which ever editing app. you are using and click on "fill the screen". since i was using elements, it filled the screen enough not to see pixelation. i then took a picture of that image using "snapndrag" and the resulting image nearly tripled in size. at least enough to print/view.
    I said that this suggestion is strange because just recently, my sister and mother went to visit her ailing uncle(mothers' brother) in california. the camera they took along had its setting from max resolution reset to the lowest by a family member. as a result, the final image turned out to be 3.5in x 2.5in. instead of 26in x 35in. so printing is out of the question and any detail in the faces is bare minimum. so i took a chance and used the "snapndrag" app. and the result was a large enough image that i can see and print.

  • Old Ipod photo but new laptop

    Hi all,
    as far as I know, to prevent piracy and stuff an ipod can be connected and can take music only from that one computer it is formatted to right???
    So now my biggest question is that my ipod has been formatted to my old toshiba laptop (windows XP) which I am going to discard very soon and buy a new one with windows XP pro.
    Now is it possible for me to connect my ipod to my new laptop and import music into it like I;ve always been doing? Or is it that I'll have to take some kind of a backup and reformat my ipod to this new laptop and then dump all my music back into it???
    SOMEBODY!!!! please help me soon cuz I am going to discard my old laptop with which my ipod's been working since its day of purchase and I dont want that my purchasing a new lptop should erase my entire pod or pose problems to put music into it
    what is the best way to go about in this scenario...KINDLY help!!!

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    If you haven't already done so, change the update setting for your iPod to manual. If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes on your new computer:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • Old ipod photo 60gb causes itunes to hang

    it is recognised in itunes as it pops up with its name and rightclicking on the tray icon gives the option to eject it, however simply clicking on it causes the system to completely hang! The ipod says "do not disconnect" on it
    Is there a way to format the ipod ie a hardware reset apart from the menu select to act as a factory restore? not sure if this will help but its all i can think of after spending a couple of hours trying to get it up and running.
    I am keen to get itr running as it has alot of storage something my much newer ipod touch 8gb doesnt have.
    Thanks

    You should rule out some possible causes first.
    First, the USB connection.  There may be a USB conflict, or lack of available power.  As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse, if nornally used.  Do this to reset (restart) the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Start it up, run iTunes, and connect the iPod (by itself) to a direct USB port on the computer.  Any difference regarding this problem?
    If that does not help, check the USB cable.  If you have another one, see if changing the cable (preferably to a newer one) makes a difference.
    If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If you run iTunes with the iPod connected in Disk Mode, it may prompt you to do a Restore (if there is data corruption on the iPod's storage).

  • Trouble importing old photo library to iPhoto 06

    I just updated to iLife/iPhoto 06. When importing old photo library which is 7-8,000 photos, I got 24,000 + images incl. images of computer icons, demo photos, images that look like pieces from web pages (headers, part of photos etc), 4-5 copies of my own photos, some look like they are "pixilated", which the original wasn't. Any idea of what happened and how to fix this, short of manually deleting each image that doesn't belong?

    Terence,
    Tks, I kind of suspected that. I'm new to Macs and more used to PCs, and by no means good at either system, so it sometimes gets confusing.
    Anyway - Here's the list from the iPhoto Library folder - I did copy & paste, but it didn't paste in the same order it is listed in the iPhoto Library window. I guess it should all be there though.

    By the way, here's another question, a bit off the current subject: Sometimes we have trouble playing video clips downloaded from our camera. Sometimes iPhoto will play the audio but no picture, sometimes the other way around, and there don't seem to be any common thread one way or the other. Recently a bunch of clips that used to play audio only "repaired themselves" and are not playing fine. But others are only playing video with no sound. Any idea of whats going on?
    Thanks

  • IPod photo stream sync with iPhoto

    Hi,
    I just synced my iPod photo stream to iPhoto on my laptop, but now I've decided I don't want to have my iPod photos on my laptop, is there a way of reversing this sync??
    Thanks

    Hi Ruby93,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you no longer want to see your Photo Stream photos on your Apple computer. The attached article explains how to turn on Photo Stream. Where the article explains how to enable Photo Stream, you would do the opposite by unchecking the box.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    Mac:
    Go to Apple () > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream).
    Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is selected.
    Open the app that you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on in that app. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Want to use an iPod photo configurated for Mac on a PC

    I want to use my old iPod photo (configurated for Mac) on a PC (but do not need to keep my songs and photos). Is this possible? If so, what do I do?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iPod 5th generation 60 GB

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC, this would also mean any future software updates would have to be done on Windows. This will erase your drive so you need to have your songs and photos backed up. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews and has the functionality to let you copy content from the iPod to the PC. Not sure if it does photos but have a look: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

  • Can't get alarm to work on new ipod--never had trouble with old ipod

    Greetings all,
    I just got a new Classic 120GB and it is great but I can't get the alarm clock to work...when I set a time for the alarm clock, it doesn't seem to remember this time but it instead defaults to an hour later than the current actual time...I tried several times to reset the alarm for a minute or two in the future so I could test it and see if it made any sound...I have reset the ipod and the normal time and date display is correct. I also can't get the beep sound to work, although I can hear the clicking when you scroll through things and so the internal speaker is clearly working. I used my old Ipod Photo for years as my alarm clock and I never had a problem with it...anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have the most recent ipod software, am using an older 17" G4 powerbook running 10.4.11. is there something obvious I am overlooking?

    update: I can get an alarm message (you have an alarm) and a choice to dismiss or "snooze" but the internal speaker is still not kicking in and obviously a silent alarm is not ideal in this instance. When I try to hear the "beep" under tones, it doesn't make any sound but bounces me back to "sounds"...I can hear the clicking when scrolling and so the speaker seems activated but is muted somehow for the alarm. My old Ipod had a nice little alarm sound and I was hoping to use my new Ipod as an alarm clock as well...not a life or death thing, but I can't figure this out and I have read everything I could find. Help!

  • Sync iPod Photo with iTunes 10.x

    Hello my friends!
    I'm using SL and iTunes 10. I found my old iPod Photo with it's 30GB hdd.
    I tried to hook it up to my iMac and sync but iTunes doesn't reconize the iPod.
    Is the support for old iPods dropped or is there another reason I can't sync it?
    Thanks!

    I would like to sync my "touch" with iTunes via Bluetooth. This would eliminate the need to plug in the USB cable each time I carry out this activity. Can someone explain to me why Apple has decided not to implement this? Will the next release of iTunes support this? Or, does it require some kind of a third part app to do this?
    it's currently not possible. bluetooth on the Touch supports headsets only.
    as for the future, only Apple knows.

    I had to to restore my old iPod Photo and currently am restoring all my iTunes music.
    In doing so I noticed it was in Apple Partition Map when looking at it in Disk Utility. Should i have re-formatted it

    No. Just let iTunes decide what format it should have.
