Make Photo Albums On Itouch

One of the major benefits of the iPod Touch is its convenience. For example, you can have your favorite photos with you at all times. You can put photo albums on your iPod Touch so your pictures are neatly arranged, but the only way to get photo albums onto the device is to first create them on your computer and then upload them to the iTouch. Here's how you do it:


Instructions


Uploading Photo Albums


1. First choose all the photos you want to put on your iPod Touch. Create a new folder on your computer and copy or move the photos there.


2. To create a new folder, right-click on the dirve or existing folder where you want the folder to be located. Then right click and choose "New" in the drop down menu. Then choose "Folder." A new folder will be created and you can type in an appropriate name. Name the folder anything you want, just be sure to remember where you put it and what you called it.


3. To copy the pictures you want to have on your iPod Touch simply highlight a photo. Then right-click and choose "Copy." Go to the folder you created, right click and choose "Paste." (Copying the photos ensures that you have a backup in case anything goes wrong. It's not necessary, but it is recommended). Do this with each photo you want on your iPod Touch. You don't have to separate the photos into Albums yet. Just put them all into the new folder.


4. Create subfolders within the new folder by following the same same steps you usder to create the new folder. These subfolders will be your Photo Albums on the iPod Touch, so name them appropriately. For example, "Todd's 10th Brithday." Then move (not copy) the photos into the subfolders as desired. Keep in mind your Albums will consist of what's in these folders. Be sure to place them in an organized manner that will make them easy to find.


5. To move the pictures into the appropriate subfolders all you have to do is click on the file and drag it into the folder. There's no need to "copy" and "paste".


6. Open iTunes on your computer.


7. Once iTunes is open and operational plug your iPod Touch into your computer using the authorized Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable.


8. Once iTunes recognizes your iPod Touch, click on the iPod Touch icon.


9. The "Sync" window will appear. Choose the "Photos" tab.


10. Check off the "Sync Photos From" box. You will have the option to choose a folder to "Sync" from. Hit "Choose Folder" and then choose the new folder you just made (the one with all the photos you want to sync).


11. Select "All Photos."


12. Hit "Sync." Once the syncing is complete your iPod Touch will have your photos on it, separated into Photo Albums.
