Photos not working--apple refuses to help me--wait till you hear why!

So on my new classic, half of my photos don't show up properly--it seems to be any photo I took w/ my Digital Rebel XT. They show up in the iPod-slowing menu animations...every thumbnail shows up in the thumbnail list...but when I view the album, they just show up as black slides. I can scroll thru the album and if non-Digital Rebel photos are in the same folder, they show up fine. Every single photo worked perfectly fine on my 5G.
So I call Apple and explain the problem. And they tell me they are unable to help me with this because the photos I'm using could have been pirated. They could get in serious trouble if they help me figure out what's wrong. They said the photos feature should be considered an "unsupported feature" and they can only assist with syncing photos.
I said you're joking. People play pirated music on their iPods way more than they pirate photos. If I had called because music wouldn't play on the iPod, does that mean they'd refuse to help me? She told me that they would only be able to help me if it were iTunes store purchased music that wouldn't play.
She suggested I visit the Apple website and the discussion boards and try to figure out why it's not working. SO HERE I AM, does anybody know why this may be happening? To recap: it seems to be photos from the Digital Rebel, they show up in all menu animations and as thumbnails, and they displayed perfectly on my 5G iPod.

Thanks for letting me know someone else's work.
sRGB is Standard RGB right? If so, then according to Explorer, my photos are too. I also just tried changing something to Apple RGB thru Photoshop...it didn't work either.
I also don't have the full versions on the iPod, but I tried it both ways--they didn't work either way.
I agree that it seems unlikely this is a problem plaguing everyone. What I dont get though is why the same photos play just fine on my 5G, and even show up in the menu animations on the 6G. I'm using the exact same computer, exact same setup for both iPods. Ugh...so frustrating!!
Is it possible the iPod could just be defective? That doesn't feel like the problem here, but iono...? I've also been experiencing the slow menus and pauses some of us are discussing in another thread, but that seems to have improved as I keep using it.
Thanks
Zach

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

    This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities!
    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • I have bought  three iPhone 6  one for me and one each for my two kids  we have just done the update iOS 8.01 now all phone  do not connect to service provider and touch id is not working ,  APPLE HELP !!!!

    i phones  updated iso 8.01 all three phones  will not connect to service provider and touch id
    will not work  APPLE HELP !!!!!!!!!
    anyone know  i fix as  i have spent over 2000 pound on three phones that won't work
    all three where working fine until the 8.01 update

    Apple just pulled the update because it is a major fubar! You will have to rollback your iPhone to the base iOS 8 using iTunes and Apple needs to seriously test its patches!
    Update:
    Simply connect your phone to iTunes and back up your data. Then, click the “Restore iPhone” button and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s a huge pain, but at least it’s better than having your shiny new iPhone turned into a big expensive iPod touch.

  • Since installing Yosemite and Photos I can now no longer drag and drop a photo in an email, as I have always done. I repaired permission and restarted a number of times. still not working... Help?! Thanks, Michael

  • How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

    How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

    Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
    If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

  • HT3180 I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all.  Help

    I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all.  Help

    I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu.   Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in.  I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
    FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
    Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.

  • I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    I have treated photos in final cut using effects. The problem is I can not export them. Please help me. Thank you-

    Ernest,
    This is how I do it: With all the video & still's in the time line, I click on each (even if I have to use the command key and click on each file). When each file is active I go under SHARE- go to EXPORT MEDIA- I use the Apple Pro Res codec 4:2:2. If you do not click on each file in the time line it will not be exported out.
    Hope this helps.

  • App store not work on my iphone , help me please

    app store do not work on my iphone , help me please

    Okay -
    Let us try the following and test after each step:
    1. Reset your phone - there is no data loss - Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    2. IF that does not - restore phone to iTunes -
    3. THEN restore as New - in other words to factory settings - Check to see if App store works before you restore from back up or add any apps
         a. If it does - then go ahead and restore from back up
         b. If it still does not - bring it to an Apple store / authorized repair location
