Photos on 60gb iPOD color

When I try to upload pictures to my new 60gb iPOD color, and maybe I'm not doing it right, but I have iTunes open, then I go to iTunes, then Preferences, then Photo, then I'll tell it to "Synchronize photos from iPhoto and select the roll I want to upload, then with my iPOD plugged in, I'll get a message saying, "Preferences were not saved for the iPOD(my ipod name)because it could not be found".
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

This is done

Sync photos with 60GB iPod

Hi,
I have just bought a new 60GB iPod to replace my old 20GB first generation iPod. I am having trouble to transfer my photos from iPhoto to my iPod. I go though the preference menu and choose copy all photos from my iPhoto folder but then nothing happens.
Pls help....

Hi Jens,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try selecting Copy selected Albums only and then picking which ones you want. You might want to look at iPod 101: Put Pics on My ’Pod. It says:
"Tunes displays how many images are about to be copied to your iPod at the bottom of the dialog. If everything looks good, click OK to begin the copy process. Depending on how many photos you have and whether or not you opted to include full-resolution images, this may take a while.
Now any time you add images to your synced folder or album, iTunes will automatically update the pictures on your iPod whenever you connect it to your computer."
Is your iPod set to sync manually or automatically?

My 2005, 60GB iPod color won't sync at all! Please help!

I can't sync my iPod at all! I've looked everywhere for help and have found nothing. The only problem the iPod is having is this: When I click the 'Sync' button, nothing happens. There's no error message, nothing what-so-ever. iTunes reads the iPod and everything on it with no trouble. I even reset the iPod back to factory settings. I've never had this problems when I was using a PC and now, on a MAC, I can't sync!
Could it be my user settings? My boyfriend thought when he created my settings on this computer that if he made my account an Administrator account that it would void HIS administrator settings; like there can only be one Admin per computer (which is not the case), so maybe my limited settings are interfering with my iPod? I can't download much of anything without his Admin user name as pw.
Help!! Any one have any ideas about this?
Thanks!

Are all of your songs in your main iTunes Music library and playable in iTunes?
Check the Summary tab on the iPod in iTunes. Is it set to +Manually manage music+ (a checkbox)? If so, uncheck that setting and click the Apply button at the lower right. It should now be in sync mode, but if it still does not sync your songs, go to the iPod's Music tab (next to the Summary tab). Make sure the +Sync music+ checkbox is checked and the +All songs and playlists+ option is selected below. If you made a change, click the Apply button at the lower right.
I even reset the iPod back to factory settings.
Does that mean you used the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software? If so, iTunes should have asked you if you want to sync you library to the iPod during the procedure.

60GB iPod Photo & Bose Sound Dock

Just bought the 60GB iPod photo...I also own the Bose Sound Dock. Noticed that there is no 60GB adapter with the Sound Dock...in searching the web, it seems folks are using the adapter marked 20 GB / 40 GB, but that the fit is a snug. Is this the way to go? I'm hesitant to try it without any direction. Is there no 60GB adapter available?

I don't know about the Bose SoundDock. But I had been using my 3G 30GB iPod (which I believe is at least as thick as the 60GB iPod color) with my Altec Lansing iM3 without using any adapter and it works.

Sync multiple lobraries with iPod color 60GB

I posted this issue in the iPod forum, but received no advice. Hopefully someone here can help:
I have over 25,000 photos and use several iPhoto libraries to manage and organize them. One library lives on my Powerbook 17" hard drive and the others are on external FW800 drives.
Because I take so many photos away from home, I usually import photos to my Powerbook library temporarily, then transfer them to one of the other libraries I have on the external HDs in my studio and delete them from the PB.
One library consists only of photos I have taken for a client, another contains family photos, a third one is abstract and artistic photos, a fourth is all antique cars, a fifth all nudes, etc...
I would like to be able to include some photo albums from each library on my 60G iPod Color. Is there a way to do this without combining all of my photos into the same library?
I guess what I am asking is: is it possible to get photos from multiple libraries on the same iPod at the same time? if so, how?
If not, is there a way for me to create an iPhoto library that consists of photo aliases (I don't want to import duplicates of the photos to include on the iPod) and then use that library to sync with the iPod?

HI Rich, an ipod can only be associated with one iPhoto Library. You can however have it sync photos from a folder on your hard drive. this would entail sharing 'exporting images from each of your libraries and putting them all in a folder on one computer. Then set up the iPod preferences in iTunes to use this folder for the photos.

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

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.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Help, I imported photos into my ipod , but it's shown as white color...

help, I imported photos into my ipod , but it's shown as white color...
not as the orginial photos at all,
and it's really imported into my ipod,
and it's jpg format....help help.......

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

60Gb iPod Photo with Olympus 8080

Gearing up to buy a 60Gb iPod Photo and wonder what I will need to dock it with my Olympus 8080 and download photos from the Compact Flash card into the iPod Photo. Can someone point me in the right direction as to the options to achieve this.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Just to report back in order to hopefully help others with the same query. I purchased an iPod Camera Connector (M9861G/A) and can now import pics from the 8080 through the adapter and USB cable that came with the camera directly to iPod. It works a treat...........

3 week old 60gb iPod Photo won't work

I bought a 60gb iPod Photo approximately 3 weeks ago. Very, very happy with my purchase even with the release of the video enabled Pod recently.
Anyway - this morning it refuses to work. It won't power up. Nothing. Blank screen.
Have tried all the resetting suggested in Apple support. Nothing. It just won't power up under any circumstances. (Tried plugging it to AC as well)
Very frustrated.

Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

Downloading Photos from My iPod to my computer

I recently had my computer stolen along with back up discs. The only other place I have my pictures is on my iPod. I am having trouble downloading them back onto my computer.

I'm in a similar tizzy: My hardrive crashed with the original photos now on my iPod (color 60GB); I need to transfer these photos to my 'new' hardrive so I won't lose them.

Moving from iPod Color to iPod Touch: what happens re: purchased music

I am upgrading from my iPod 60GB Color (Photo) to an iPod Touch. Question: in addition to my thousands of songs from my own CDs, I also have purchased quite a few songs/albums from the iTunes Store. When I sync my library to the Touch, will EVERYTHING be brought over? I was wondering if my library, including purchased music, is tied to one iPod or can it be copied to another unit without any problem. Thanks.

When I sync my library to the Touch, will EVERYTHING be brought over?
Yes, up to the limit of music the iPod touch can hold.
I was wondering if my library, including purchased music, is tied to one iPod or can it be copied to another unit without any problem.
The iTunes library is not tied to an iPod; each iPod is tied to a specific iTunes library, and by default, will only contain content from that specific iTunes library. An iPod shuffle cannot contain content from multiple iTunes libraries as playable songs.

Can't get photos on my ipod, update error

I just bought my ipod last night. Immediatly when plugging it in I got an error that said:
"The ipod can not be updated. The required file can not be found."
All of my songs transfered onto it though. I have it set-up to transfer my photos over after it transfers the songs, but it doesn't do it. I've watched the video on transfering photos and it all looks right, but the photos won't transfer. The only thing it isn't doing is showing the number of picture to be transfered at the bottom, nothing is there. It sees all my photo folders though. And every time I try to update my ipod, I get the above error.
I have installed the latest version of the ipod updater, I updated my iTunes, I reset and even restored my ipod, and nothing is working. Please help. I want to be able to load my photos on my ipod and I want to stop getting this error!
Thanks!

I called Apple Support and after an hour and a half, we figured out the problem.
In my "My Pictures" folder I have subfolders grouping my pictures by year. The year subfolders have their own subfolders grouping the pictures by month, and sometimes there are more subfolders in the month folders grouping my pictures by event. And basically, you can't transfer over subfolders. And that's why my photos were not being transfered, and that's why I was getting the "file not found error" (Because it was only finding subfolders and no pictures in my "My Pictures" folder.)
My way around this was to create a new folder and just copy over all the photos I wanted on my ipod into it, and have the ipod update from that folder.
I was a little frustrated because the reason I got a 60GB ipod was so I could use it to back-up my photos in a better way then just burning DVDs, so the tech support person walked me though how to back up my photos to my ipod, so they are all on there, just not all viewable (the only viewable ones are the ones I had the ipod update form the new folder I created. In order to do put them on the ipod as a back-up, I had to make sure the "disk use" box was checked in the ipod preferences under the music tab.
Hope this helps others with this problem.

IPOD Color- Corrupted- restored- black/white menu+not working (WinXP)

I got an iPOD Color Display last year, few days ago, it started going nuts. Windows were not recognizing etc.
After the restart-reboot-restore it has a Black/White GUI and still windows can not recognize it. Windows say that it is a generic USB hard drivem iTunes say that it needs to be restored (and after every restoration, it needs to be restored again, and it is not working anymore, even if it is alive).
iPOD's screen shows the exclamation mark over an envelope.
HELP!!!
Is there any advance utility, which for example, could make iPOD an image of a filesystem, in order to everything be overwritten (factory settings)

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”.

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.

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
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

Newbie to photo's on iPod

I've just gone from a mono 4G to the new 5G iPod, I've synched 3096 photo's to my new iPod, I use Photoshop Elements on the PC.
In elements I have loads of people and events tags.
When I go to the photo's on the iPod they are all there, there's no way to see certain events or people, is that right?
I thought you could browse by events etc, if not it takes over 2 minutes to scroll to the bottom to see the latest photo's
anyone got any ideas?
also, I've set it to sync my outlook contacts but it doesn't even try to so there's nothing on the iPod in contacts

As far as I know, the only way I could get Contacts to iPod was to export to vCard. And I'm sorry, but I think you do have to scroll through those photos. (I wouldn't know. I don't put photos on my 4G color.) Keep experimenting, 'cause I gotta go now (I'll be back in a few hours).
