I have a 30 gig iPod Photo. I recently moved my music and my photos off my PB onto an external HD as the PB was running out of space. iTunes and iPhoto are working perfectly with the items on the external. However, when I try to sync my iPod, I am told there is not enough room to put my pics on the iPod. According to the settings on the iPod, I have 21 gigs available. My 3000 photos are only 9 gigs, so why won't they sync to the iPod? It starts "optimizing" the photos, then the error message comes up. I could better understand if I was told that the iPod could not "find" the pics, but I don't understand why there is not enough room. I tried restoring to factory settings, and trying the sync again, but no luck. I have tried all the offered preference settings within iTunes for the photos, and nothing works.
Any and all suggestions and info are welcome. Thanks in advance!
