i searched for some sort of topic related to this but didnt find anything, so if this has been posted and discussed in the past i apologize anyways i have one of the new video ipods (30G) and i have most everything figured out except one thing with the pictures. i have all the pics i want on there, but I would like to know if there is any way to create folders within folders. for exampls, in the photos menu I have cars and music pictures and some other pictures ive taken. using the cars example- right now i have every single car picture in one folder and would like to get around that. I would like to be able to go to the photos menu, then scroll to Ferrari, then select the FXX or Enzo folder...etc.... i havent been able to work towards that. does anyone know if/how this can be done? thanks for your time and help guys.
When you load them onto your computer.....create folders within the folder. Then, you download the "big" folder to the iPod, and the folders inside will be divided up. If this doesn't make any sense...I'm sorry. I have an iPod Photo....PM me if you would like clarification.
Well, I just had my first learning experience with my new 30gb model. I plugged it in and let it go for over an hour downloading about 17 gigs of music. Then I went to preferences and figured I only wanted it to add music that I was putting into my computer and not really take stuff off, so I clicked "Update only from..." and checked off "Purchased" and "recently added." It then wiped about 11 gigs of the thing clean so that the ONLY things on there were the iTunes and stuff I had just put onto the hard drive in anticipation of the ipod. AAARGH!! So I just plugged it back in again and start over. Also, is there no way for it to play .mpg's I already have? I was hoping to get my Top Gear episodes on this thing!
If you are on a mac(as I am), the pics obviously come right from iPhoto. Just create new folders in iPhoto and it will show up on your iPod.
Also, is there no way for it to play .mpg's I already have? No, you have to transcode your videos to MPEG-4 or H.264 at the appropriate resolutions. Not a particularly big deal as there are several programs out there that let you set up a batch of movies and you can let them convert overnight.
Any solution to the photo folder issue in the 5G iPod? having hundreds of photos in the same folder is not very efficient!! Ernesto
