Semi-auto sync, then deselect the playlists you don't want to be copied over to the iPod. Or manually sync and manage everything by hand.

hi guys ... i'm not sure what happened to my iPod ... but since it "dead" last time and "revived" by self-reformat many problems occured ... but it disappeared when i brought to a…

any idea why? i have my address book contact pictures set, they show up fine under the address book, but upon synching with my ipod video, it shows a generic thumbnail as the photo…

I get the same thing. Weird. No ideas here.

My 60GB 5G is the same way. I didn't know if this was just how it worked, since this is my first color-screen iPod.

ok this is very strange, i noticed that if i select my contacts from the address book app and directly export it as a .vcf file, and then drag it to my contacts folder on my ipod i…

Same here, although my Address Book contacts are sync'd with our exchange server via iSync. No pictures, just the placeholder image. Any idea if the pictures are supported on iPo…

yes they are supported, i saw it on apple's website, also it does work for me, however, not all contacts show the pics though, not sure why, strange, has to be a problem with itune…

Interesting, older iPods don't have this function.

Could the picture need to be in a certain format for it to work correctly?

I just got my video iPod today...I'm loving it, but it'd be nice if this function worked

not sure, all the pictures that i drag into my addressbook are mostly jpeg's... not sure why its only working for some pictures and not all... must be a bug in the ipod software or…

Updating to 10.4.3 fixes this problem.

Yep. Though 10.4.3 killed EyeHome, it resolved this matter.

cool! nice I'm happy now!

If I have 10.3.9 can I use the 10.4.3 update...or do I need Tiger first?

So, apparently that feature isn't going to work for those of us without Tiger?

The 10.4.3 update included an update to Address book.app...so...if one without Tiger had a copy of the new Address Book.app, they should be in business.

Can anyone hook me up with that?

I started a petition for Apple to restore full Firewire support in the next iPod video revision. People may think that this won't work BUT, there was a petition for Digital Booklet…

I wish there was Firewire but Apple ain't going to offer Firewire on iPods anymore. The masses have spoken and most of them are PC-using weenies.

Good luck with that.

I don't think that it's "PC-using weenies" that are the problem. (And I don't admit not having firewire is a problem, either.) I think this design decision came from how much the…
