Why can't it take photos?

I have an iPod nano (5th generation, not the latest one) and I like how you can take videos with it (although the placement of the camera is horrible)
Videos is great but you'd think something that could take videos will be able to take pictures as well, but there's no option to take any, and after looking it up on the internet, I figured out that there's not way to make it take pictures.
Why is this? Shouldn't it be able to take pictures too? The only way I can see to take pictures is to upload the videos to a computer and take a screenshot but that would take too much time and effort for something that should be quick and simple.

You can also use video software to pull a single frame, but once you do you will see why it doesn't take stills. That 0.7 megapixel camera just is not much for picture taking.

  • Why can't I use photo's edited in iPhoto in iWeb?

    Why can't I insert photo's edited in iPhoto into my website design? It will only allow me to insert pictures that have not been edited. Is there away around this? Or a reason for it?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You should be able to add edited photos from iPhoto to an iWeb page. How are you adding them and to what type of page?

    I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
    How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

    Since iphoto 11 update, why can't I  upload photo to facebook. It says that fb can't recognize my email/password combination. I can't seem to find out why.

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

    Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

    Where are these files from? That does not sound like an image file. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    from where are you downloading?
    where are you downloading to?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

    Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

    I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
    This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why can't we upload photo to profile page it is only 6.8 mb and error says it is too big

    why can't we upload photo to profile page it is only 6.8 mb and error says it is too big

    Yeah, about that... Apple stopped signing iOS 5.1.1.  Because Apple is no longer issuing it. Apple only issues the most current software for a given device.  See http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iOS6.pdf  It states:
    "Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive
    license to download iOS Software Updates that may be made available by Apple for your model
    of the iOS Device to update or restore the software on any such iOS Device that you own or
    control."
    So per the Software License Agreement you HAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE to upgrade to iOS 6 you agreed to use iOS 6 in accordance with that agreement and it doesn't give you permission to downgrade your version of iOS.

  • Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S?

    Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S? It goes through the motions, select photo, recipient, file size but nothing is received.

    Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service?  If so, this is known as relaying.  Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers.  Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password.  (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
    Example:  A non-icloud exchange account:  Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain    Optional"  where optional is in gray.
    Example:  For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
    Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.

  • Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony camera to my iphone4?

    Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony point and shoot to my iphone4? It works with photos from my old camera, just not with the new one. When I sync photos to my phone, they come out black. Help!

    It's possible they aren't in the right format. See this list to verify you have the correct format. I know some Sony cameras use the ARW interface (known as RAW).
    You may want to use a photo converter like photoshop, etc. to get photos into .jpeg or other file formats.
