Urgent advice please on transferring pictures to Ipod

I would like to download my pictures from my pc hard disc to Ipod, in order to delete them afterwards & create more space on my pc.
2 problems in doing this: 1) when I synchronize the picture folders to copy them onto Ipod, I suspect Itunes copies them somewhere again on my C-drive, since my C-drive runs out of storage space. So: where are these files stored so I can delete my previous attempts?
2) In order to solve the above mentioned problem, I tried transferring files one by one, but the 2nd time I transfer pictures to Ipod, it will delete the pictures downloaded the first time.
Please help me, since my pc is running out of space and Ipod is not helping me to resolve the problem where I bought it for, in fact, it makes my problems worse!
Thanks very much in advance!

Seems like your hard disk is close to completely full!
1) To synchronise, iTunes has to optimise and prepare the files it transfers to your iPod and needs some space in your Temp directory while it prepares them, before it transfers them over. You can safely delete your Temp files as long as you have no installs in progress.
2) What you say makes sense since you cannot manually add a file at a time to your photo library without deleting the old ones.
What I would do is to go to iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Music Tab and enable "Manually manage songs and playlists". Also enable Disk Use by ticking the box next to it.
Click OK
Then open Windows Explorer through My Computer and you can copy the photos and any files you want to back up to a folder on your iPod disk drive. Check the folder and make sure everything you want is there. Then you can delete the files you do not want stored on your hard drive and create space.
IMPORTANT:: You have thus backed-up the data on your iPod - but if you lose it or it breaks down, you will lose all your precious irrecoverable data, so a good bet is to buy another hard drive, internal or external and ASAP copy the data to that hard drive or onto CDs so that you have a back-up. Also, Pictures or music thus stored as a back up is not seen via the iPod interface - you can only access the data through Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder).
Good luck!!!

  • Transfering pictures from ipod to pc

    How can I transfdermy pictures from iPod touch for my pc?

    Have a look here: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    You'll have to use the software you would use for a digital camera, for example the camera wizard or similar programs.

  • Transferring pictures from ipod to the computer

    I recently got an ipod in Australia and all my pictures were put on from the computer there. I can't seem to open my pictures now from my computer at home. When I click on the photos folder from my ipod, only the "thumbs" folder and "photo database" are in there but I cannot open them in any program to see the pictures.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

  • Transferring Pictures to iPod

    I want to back up my pictures on my ipod (not photo). Can I sent them straight from iPhoto?

    Alex,
    You would have to enable disk use on your iPod and then drag the files to it. You will not be able to view the pictures themselves.
    Post back if you're interested/for more instructions on how to do that or if you know how

  • Transfering pictures from Ipod to computer

    Hi, I have my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) for 1 year , but I had a problem with my pc and I have lost all my stuff, including pictures, videos and musics. So I wanted to know if I could transfer my saved photos from my Ipod to the computer. I really need help, I have tried everything...
    Thanks for your help.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/pics/docs/music/etc.
    Have you failed to do this?
    The music/vid/pic sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You can e-mail the photo library pics to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.

    ok..i have sweet pics on my ipod nano but i had to reinstall windows... so i lost the same sweet pics from my comp...i want to add more sweet pics but the only way i can do that is by using itunes and going to ipod options...and synchronizing photos from...the problem is.. when i click there.. it sais all the pictures in my ipod will be deleted and replaced with the pics on the folder i have chosen =/ is there any way to add pictures to my ipod without deleting them all from my ipod?

    There should already be a folder with th pictures that are on the iPod so select choose from file, and pick the file called "ipod picture cache" and the name of the file you want your sweet pics from.

  • I have an iMac. It does not have CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my PC and syncd with my iPod. I assumed that the iPod would transfer that music to my iMac but it doesn't. Any advice please.

    I have an Imac. It does not have a CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my old PC and sync'd with my iPod. I'd assumed that this would then transfer the same music on to my iMac. That's not the case. I iMac removes music it has not previously stored from my iPod. Any advice please?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer songs from an iPod if they were purchased in the iTunes Store.
    As they were transferred from a CD, you have to use an application like Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ It will transfer the music from an iPod to iTunes

  • Urgent Advice Needed Re Slow BB Speeds & Intermitt...

    I'm in urgent need of advice please re my intermittent broadband problems
    For the past week now I've been getting very slow speeds and occasionally the broadband disappears altogether. When it disappears, my phone line goes out too, so I'm convinced it's a problem with the BT line.
    When I first contacted BT they did a line test and confirmed there was a problem with the line. After an hour and a half on the phone to them (on another phone line), both phone and broadband started working again - intermittently. BT now say that the problem is with my internal wiring. I'm getting increasingly frustrated, especially with the BT call centre getting me to repeat the same checklist tests, router resets, etc. As an ex-telecoms project manager I'm not entirely a novice user, and desperately want to get this resolved but don't know how to break through the BT call centre barrier.
    My NETGear Wireless-N stats show the following:
    ADSL Link
    Downstream
    Upstream
    Connection Speed
    896 kbps
    96 kbps
    Line Attenuation
    53.0 db
    31.5 db
    Noise Margin
    10.6 db
    7.0 db
    The speed also looks somewhat lower than the line speeds I should be getting (table below is from BTs ADSL Checker):
    ADSL Max
    Up to 5
    3.5 to 7.5
    Available
    Fixed Rate
    2
    Available
    Can anyone offer any suggestions at all please?
    Many thanks in advance,

  • PC crashes when transferring songs to ipod or using itunes..

    1) Issue: When transferring songs to IPOD through the use of a PC(itunes or real player), a blue faulty screen will eventually show with some error and then my computer restarts. I have a bout 3800 songs for a 20GB IPOD and it seems to always stop around 4G when transferring. I tried using the IPOD on another computer and it seems to be fine.
    2) Also, when I play music using iTunes, it causes the PC to crash as well, without the IPOD connected.
    During the error report, it usually says there is an error with the Hard Drive(Western Digital 250 SATA 2 hard drive; hard to use a jumper to adjust to the SATA 1 settings of this motherboards) and it couldn’t’ read it for a second. It advises to to a ScanDisk?CHKDSK run, but when I do this(during reboot), it stops in STEP 4 out of 5 at 20-30% and does nothing. Did this for 1 day! Other error reports supposedly report a faulty device driver error and advise to update drivers, but I’ve updates Apple iTunes.
    Contacted Hard Drive manufacturer, Western Digital, and they believe it is a controller device driver issue or something related. Tried updating the bios. Tried installing the VIA 4 for 1 drivers and other drivers in the Motherboards Installation CD. Running a Disk Tools before Microsoft even shows itself, reports no errors. However, when you are partially booted and the computer is scheduled to check the disk, there are errors(won’t move.) I see no update for controller device drivers
    A3) lso, if I have a USB hard drive connected to the PC(such as an IPOD or external usb hard drive), sometimes the computer switches boot devices(hard drives) and thinks that the IPOD/External Hard drive is the boot device. This is also reflected in the BIOS and the USB connected hard drive replaces my main SATA hard drive(western digital) and my computer doesn’t completely reboot unless I go under the BIOS and change it. It’s weird because I DO NOT CHANGE THE BIOS. For some reason, it changes on its own.
    I have no idea what’s going on. Please Help Me.

  • Problem transfering music/updating ipod

    I recently moved and changed computers. My ipod had my library from home on it but i had a new library at my apt. i plugged my ipod in to see what kind of transfer there would be and it erased my ipod and filled it with the new library. then i went back home, and reversed it with my old library. finally, i had enough at my apt so once more i erased my ipod and built it with the library from my computer. today i tried to traditionally transfer music, adding music into my ipod. it would not update, it said it was finished updating but when i looked, none of the new songs were transfered into my ipod.... please help im so frustrated. ive tried reinstalling but that doesn't solve the problem.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What you are trying to do is illegal. You cannot take your friend's music. That is one of the reasons for the message.
    Also, even if legal, you cannot use iTunes to move music from iPod to computer.

  • Transfered pictures to pc unable to open

    I transfered pictures from my IPhone 4 to my pc and now they can not be opened. They show up in my picturs folder as T757. I can not figure out how to change them so they can be opened to see them. Any suggestions please.
    Thank you,
    Karen

    I'm not clear.  They show up in a folder named T757?  Or is this a file extension of the photo files?
