Viewing photos on ipod

Hi, if I plug my ipod into my computer, how do I view the photos? I clicked on my ipod in *my computer* but it just comes up with all this weird stuff...

You don't view them on the computer from the iPod. They should be on your computer already, so just view them there.
When pictures are put on the iPod, you are supposed to view them on the iPod, or on a TV using an A/V cable.

Can't view photos on ipod touch

When I synced my Ipod touch (3rd gen) with my Windows Vista, the pictures were transferred over. However, when I go to the Photos application to view my photos, it says the photos apparently don't exist on my Ipod touch. So I don't know what's going on.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

60 gig ipod video, unable to view photos

No problem downloading photos from selected folder useing ipod options/photo. However when I select a folder of pictures from the ipod the thumbnails are blank, and when I select a photo and try to view it the ipod freezes, gets noticably warmer,there is a great deal of hard drive noise, and a reset is needed.
I haven't tried any videos yet, but mp3 files play just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Think I might of resolved the issue. Used ipod updater to errase and restore settings to my ipod, and used a new folder of photos and a resinc seems to have fixed it. I am going to add more jpgs and see if itunes will convert them for my ipod has well.

Viewing photos using DLO HomeDock for iPod

I just purchased an iPod 60G and am trying to view photos on my tv using the DLO HomeDock for iPod. I am able to get the audio to come through the tv but cannot view photos or video. I have the AV cables hooked up correctly and even have an S-Video cable hooked in. Does anyone have any insight as to why I can't view my photos? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ipod freezes when viewing photos

I got a new Ipod yesterday and when I try to view the photos after uploading them to the ipod it will freeze about half way down when I view all the photos in the photo library and the last 12 months catagory. im using a macbook and the photos are stored in Iphoto.

I deleted a couple photos in the area the ipod freezes but it still freezes. Resetting it does nothing but restarts the ipod and then it still freezes when I go back and veiw the photos in through photo library and last 12 months. I created folders to group the photos to test the ipod and see if it will freeze when I view the same photos the ipod is freezing on when I veiw them in "photo library and 12 months". And the Ipod does not freeze when I view the photos in their gruoped folders. So it can't be a corrupted file, can it?

Can I view photos imported to iPod using Apple iPod Camera Connector

Hi,
I have an iPod photo and iPod video.
I also have the Belkin Digital Camera Link that I use to downloand photos from my Digital Camera to my iPod whilst away from my computer.
When photos are imported onto the iPod using the Belkin device I can't view the photos on the iPod.
Is this the same case with the Apple Camera Connector?
It would be worth buying if it meant the photos were instantly viewable on the iPod.
Many Thanks.

How did the photos get on the iPod? If they were synced from another computer you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy.

IPod Restarts When Viewing Photos (Every 1 out of 3 times)!

When I try to view my photos (mainly doing a slide show), the IPod unit will restart. One time, the unit froze and I had to perform a manual reset. I have not seen a resolution yet in the forums. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

An Update for what it is worth, and still with no resolution. It appears that I have the auto restart issue only when I view photos and I have previously configured the slide show to turn on music using my music library on the Ipod. If I view photos and it is working ok. with the music playing in the background, and then I leave photos to go listen to my normal music library, and then I come back to viewing photos again, when I start the photo slide show at this point, this is where the Apple restart occurs. I have been able to isolate this down on both my Ipod and my wife's Ipon Nanao Special Editions. Any body else having this problem? When I turn off the background music under the photo slide show preferences, I can go on with photos all I want with no auto restart. So for now, no more back ground music in my photo slide shows.

IPod displaying black screen when I want to view photos

Hi,
here's the thing I wasn't able to find a solution yet. I synced some photo album from iPhoto to iPod nano 4gb (3rd gen). When navigating to photos with nano I see the album and inside the photos thumbnails but when I enter into the photo full screen mode to view photo nano just displays a black screen... no photo ...
Am I doing something wrong?

I did an update that my Macbook required and it sorted itself out, hope it works out for you.

Streaming Music needs to reconnect each time after viewing photos

Hi
I have 200Gb of music, so I stream this to my TV. Photos are obviously sync'd. However, to get to my photos, I have to go to the source menu, and choose TV (Since "Shauns Music" menu only says Movies, TVShows, Music, Podcasts, Settings and Sources. So I play
When I go back to Music, the connection is lost and I have to reconnect - i.e. I get "Loading Shauns Music". This takes 1 minute 15 seconds, which admittedly isn't that long, but when you have to waut every time you view photos and play music, it seems pretty unpleasant.
My iTunes and my TV are never off - isn't there some way I can "fix" the streaming connection?

I don't think it's an issue of the IP address. I think the behavior that is taking a long time is that it seems to be reading in the entire directory of your library in order to make subsequent browsing fast.
As annoying as the wait is, at least once it's over, it's very fast. You can scroll down an extremely long list of every song or artist and it accelerates faster and faster until you release the remote button at which point it nicely decelerates and stops.
I have a receiver that attaches an iPod directly with a special cable letting me scroll through its contents and select items via remote. At every selection point, there was a pause for it to load the next level. It couldn't scroll more than a few items before having to pause to reload. Now that was annoying.
It would certainly be nice if the Apple TV were smart enough to cache a library's contents, only re-loading if it's been changed, enabling a quick switch. Maybe they'll do that in the future?

Trying to download photos from Ipod classic to a PC

How do I sync Ipod photos to My Albums on an HP PC?

Syncing photos is only one way, from your PC to your iPod. If you need to copy photos from your iPod back to your PC, you'll need the assistance of some third party software. Also keep in mind that these photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions optimized for viewing on your iPod's small screen.
Here is one option.

What are the options for viewing photos with Apple TV 2?

I have an old Apple TV, and load the family photos on the Apple TV itself. On the Apple TV 2, I know you can connect to MobileMe and Flickr.
Aside from MobileMe and Flickr, are there other options for viewing photos on the new Apple TV? Can you stream them from a Mac, or can you stream them from an iPhone/iPad?
If so, how is this initiated from the Apple TV, Mac, or iPhone/iPad?

You can stream from a Mac via itunes selection (iPhoto events or a folder) - it has 8GB of solid state temporary storage, but quite how things are cached/flushed from here is a bit of a mystery - you cannot say designate 2GB to hold photos or prioritise photos over other material.
Even rentals seem to flush if you've watched them and they haven't expired - relative fell asleep during a rental yesterday so i suggested she watched it today and it downloaded from scratch again, and the AppleTV hadn't had anything but music playing in the interim. Silly this really. There's a post on another section where someone used 17GB of their data allowance to watch a HD movie as it kept reloading!
Yes you can stream photos from iPod/iPad using Airplay, but to be honest i don't think ATV2 offers that much over ATV1 for photos (yet anyway), and in some ways it's inferior.
ATV2 is far more responsive/uses less power etc but I'm not convinced you get anything groundbeaking unless you have a lot of guests who could use it via Airplay from their iphones (and with ipads currently without cameras, photos would have to come from somewhere else in the first place).

Retreiving photos from ipod

Hi, my old powerbook died a while back and i lost everything, but my music and photos were stored on my ipod, i got my music back but i can't work out how to retrieve my photos... does anyone know a program that can help me?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to Apple discussions
Did you copy the original images to your iPod as well?
If so, then you need to enable disk use on your iPod and you will be able to drag them across back onto your computer.
If you didn't copy the originals then it's not good news I am afraid.
iTunes resizes the photos to a thumnail for viewing on the iPod. You can get these back by looking round the files on the iPod, but you are only going to retrieve a small thumnail image.

Get photos from iPod to PC

I have lost many of my photos. Now the only place I still have them is my iPod. Unfortunately the photos stored there are optimised - they were not loaded as full-resolution type. So now I do not see them as photo files in Windows explorer but as Photo Database. Is there the way to get those photos back? To convert them form ipod to my pC?
Please help!

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software such as the one below to get the job done. Keep in mind that your photos will no longer be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod.

Transfering photos from ipod to computer?

Hello!
i used to sync my photos in ipod with my computer. But my computer crashed and i had to change a new computer.
Then, i realised that i can't transfer the photos that are already in my ipod to my new computer. The photos in ipod are in a file format that can't be opened (photo database).
Does that mean that my photos are stuck in the ipod forever? i can't view them with the computer and i can't sync photos with the new computer as i was warned that the old photos in my ipod will be deleted.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
