Did you know? Your iPod has many uses, one of which is the ability to store your photos. Think it is difficult? Well as you will see from our simple step-by-step instructions below, it really isn't!
(A) Apple offers something called the "iPod Camera Connector". To determine if your camera is compatible with the iPod Camera Connector, visit www.apple.com. This device attaches your digital camera directly to your iPod for quick picture transfers.
(B) If your camera is not compatible, you must first save your photos directly on your pc. Create a new file and title it "iPod Photos". Place all the pictures that you want to transfer in this file. Then, go and open the iTunes software and connect your iPod Photo to your computer using the USB cable. In the iTunes software, select the "Edit" tab in the top row, and scroll down to select "Preferences". This will pop up another window where you will select the "iPod" tab from the top row. From there, select the "Photo" tab. In this window check the box next to "Synchronize Photos From".
You then have the option to choose a folder. Browse your computer until you locate your "iPod Photos" file that you created earlier and select it. Make sure the "Copy All Photos" button IS selected. Select "OK" at the bottom. You are now ready to place all of your photos on your iPod.
If you do not own a digital camera then the easiest thing to do is try to get your pictures on a CD at the same time you get them developed. Many local drug stores offer this service for a minimal fee. Then you can just place the CD in your computer and follow the steps above. Every time you update your iPod, the software will look in the iPod Photos folder that you created and transfer any new photos onto your iPod Photo.
That's it, you're done! |
