Welcome. You'll find a .pdf file with the name "iPod Features Guide" inside the cd-rom disc that came with your iPod Video. 'Video Features' and 'Photo Features' sections are going to be a good start.

If by any reason you can not check them, read this:

** VIDEOS **

Downloading Videos to iPod
You download videos to iPod much the same way you download songs. You can set
iTunes to download all videos to iPod automatically when you connect iPod; you can
set iTunes to download only selected playlists; or you can set it to let you add and
delete songs and videos manually.

Updating iPod Automatically
You can set iPod to update automatically with all videos when you connect it to your computer.


To set iTunes to update iPod automatically with all videos:

1 - Open iTunes and select iPod in the Source list.

2 - Click the Options button and click Videos.

3 - Select “Automatically update all videos.”


To download songs and videos to iPod:
Simply connect iPod to your computer. If iPod is set to update automatically, the download begins. When the download is complete, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.”


** PHOTOS **

Downloading Photos From Your Computer to iPod
You can download photos from a folder on your hard disk. If you have a Mac and iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, you can download iPhoto albums automatically.

The first time you download photos to iPod might take some time, depending upon how many photos are in your photo library.

To download photos from a Mac or Windows PC to iPod using a photo application:

1 - Open iTunes and select iPod in the iTunes Source list. Then click the Options button.

2 - Click Photos and select “Synchronize photos from.” On a Mac, choose iPhoto from the pop-up menu.

3 - If you want to import all of your photos, choose “Copy all photos.” If you want to import photos only from certain albums or collections, choose “Copy selected albums only” and select the albums or collections you want.

Each time you connect iPod to your computer, photos are downloaded automatically.


To download photos from a folder on your hard disk to iPod:

1 - Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer.
If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on iPod, create folders inside the main image folder, and drag images into the new folders.

2 - Open iTunes and select iPod in the iTunes Source list. Then click the Options button.

3 - Click Photos and select “Synchronize photos from.”

4 - Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select your image folder.

Good job on that post.

I have transferred my pics over, but my subfolders are gone.

For example, I selected the folder "Pics" in the iPod preferences, as I want all the pics in that folder on the iPod.

In "Pics", i have subfolders. For example:

2005
Car Pics
Scans

I can't get the folders within thos folders to show up.

"2005" contains about 30 folders, but I can only view the pics as one big mess of photos.

Any way to work around this?
