Syncing photos from Windows to ipod

I was wondering how big or small the photos have to be before I sync them. I have about 50 in my My Pictures file, all in an ipod acceptable format, but only 20-25 sync.
I figure it's the size of the others that's preventing them from syncing.
Any advice? THANK YOU!

That's simply how it works when you use automatic photo syncing. If you want to keep the existing photos in your iPod you need to set it to update photos manually, not automatically.

Syncing photos from windows to 5th gen. iPod

I have twice synched photos from Windows PC to iPod. Each time the new photos have replaced the old photos, which were removed from my iPod. What do you suggest for resolving this issue?

Problems syncing photos from iphoto to ipod via itunes

I have been having some difficulty getting my itunes to sync iphoto contents to my ipod. This worked fine for ages, but has just stopped working. I can sync photos from a standalone folder. Following a discussion on the ipod forum (for full details see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1872524&start=0&tstart=0 ) we have established it is something in the iphoto library that is causing the problem. A new library works fine, but switch back and itunes does not recognise it. I am hoping that someone here can help me identify what could be causing the problem.
Any thoughts welcome.

ps I have also posted this in the iphoto forum, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1876616

Resetting your iPod puts the iPod's software in factor default. It doesn't erase anything. Restoring the iPod erases your iPod's content and puts a fresh copy of the OS on it. Restoring is a more extreme way to solve a problem. Use restore if a reset doesn't work. If a restore doesn't work, then its not likely that a reset would help. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with classes. Cheers mate.

Syncing photos from computer to iPod?

When I sync photos from the computer to my iPod 2 albums appear on my iPod with the same photos in them. How do I stop this?? One of the albums is called what the folder I synced is called and the other is called photo library.

The photo library is just all the photos on the iPod. There is only one copy of the photos, they are just is two albums, the specific album with is also show in the photos album which includes all photos.

Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

Syncing photos from PC to iPod. Please help.

I have a 30 GB video iPod and using Windows XP Pro. In iTunes, I seem to be syncing 25 photos from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 to my iPod successfully. However, when I eject the iPod no photo album exists under the photo menu and under the "About" menu it shows I have 0, photos. When re-connected to iTunes, iTunes then ID's 25 photos on the iPod. It appears to work but I'm unable to view photos. Can anyone help me? Appreciated.

i am using windows xp. transfer all your images into one folder in my pictures and then sync from the ipod menu under preferences under edit menu in itunes. it optimized and copied more than 700 pictures onto my 30 gb ipod. hope this helped.

Sync photos from Windows XP problems

Problem syncing photos to AppleTV. The AppleTV is connected to an Apple Airport. The Airport also is set up with a disk drive. All my photos are stored on that drive. The AppleTV is set up to sync with my Dell (windowsXP Pro)laptop running iTunes. It syncs music, TV shows, podcasts, all OK.
I found the Airport drive and all the file folders appear in the selection window, but when one of the files is selected and you try to sync, it just goes into a sync loop, forever. Not sure what to do - any suggestions

I played around with the ITUNES pictures till I figured out what works for me. In my docs, my pictures is a folder called Itunes photos. I drag the photos I want to sync into that folder. In ITUNES I can select the appropriate ATV and in the photos tab, tell it to sync that folder. They show up.
Rather than try and figure out how ITUNES and the ATV actually work (too painful for this DOS guy) I just leave the settings alone and manage my synced photos in that aforementioned foto file folder.

Syncing Photos from Aperture to Ipod touch (how to order the photos?)

I have some photos on my ipod touch from my aperture library, all good. But they sync in a different order to how they are stored in Aperture. I think it syncs by photo name alphabetically?
Is there a way to set the order of the photos by the date they were taken?
This is surely not to difficult an option to have, and i am sure ipod software up to 2.1 had this feature.
Please Do not tell me to rename my photos.

Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,
GB

HT4236 Is there a way to sync photos from my computer onto my Ipod touch 'Camera Roll' album?

Everytime I sync photos from my computer onto my ipod they go into two different folders, and not the camera roll. I really want to have them in the camera roll and was wondering if there was a way to do so,
Thanks.
Georgia.

There is, but I would avoid that method if I were you.
The Camera Roll (on an iPod Touch) is where photos taken on the iPod, screenshots taken on the iPod and also saved images are located.
Although other people may alternative suggestions, I regard the Camera Roll a temporary loctation, until the next Sync with iTunes. At that time, it is wise to move the pictures from the Camera Roll and put them somewhere on your computer. This means that when (rather than if) the iPod requires a Restore, you don't lose your pictures, since a Restore will remove all content from the iPod, and only put back onto the iPod what is on the computer.
For safety, I copy the Camera Roll pictures, into a folder which will then put them back onto the iPod in the Photo Library, and only once sucessfully copied, do I then delete them from my iPod' Camera Roll.
As for the two different folders...
You can only choose one folder on your computer to Sync with your iPod, named for instance, "Piccys" and in there are (for example) general photos. However, also in that folder, you can have sub-folders, named for instance "Family" which have only photos of the family. Once the folder "Piccys" is Synced with your iPod, when you look in the Photos App on the iPod, you will see a list of sections;
Photo Library
Family
The "Photo Library section" will have all the photos, both from the "Piccys folder" and the "Family folder" listed as one list. However, if you look in the "Family section", you will see only the photos in the "Family folder".
So in your situation, I suggest that you create a sub-folder in your chosen "Sync folder" and place all the Camera roll pictures in that. What you certainly should not be doing is leaving photos in the Camera Roll or trying to put other pictures into the Camera Roll. That will be a recipe for disaster.
By the way, in my experience, the more pictures in the Camera roll, the slower a Sync becomes.

After updating iOS 6 in my iPod Touch 4th Gen, my Synced photos from computer are all gone. The remaining pictures are only in the Camera Roll. HELP THANKS :)

Hello! I updated my itouch 4g with iOS 6 using iTunes at Windows 7. After updating, my musics and videos are still there but my synced photos from the computer are lost. The only remaining photos are from the Camera Roll. I lost 4000 photos. What will I do to restore them? Thanks for thise who will help :)

You need to obtain the synced photos from where you obtained them the first time. Synced media like apps, music and synced photos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of an update or restore.

How do I sync photos from my computer to my IPod touch 2nd generation?

I can't find anything in the ITunes store that will allow me to sync photos from my computer to my 2nd generation IPod touch.

You don't go to the iTunes Store to sync photos, that is where you download and purchase content hence the name.
- select your iPod from the Sidebar
- select Photos at the top to the right of Summary
Now follow the article below:
