I have just received my new Ipod and synced with the music library with no problems, despite having a new Vista PC which I have just Authorized and transferred my old Library across to.
Because this is my first iPod with colour screen and video, I also started trying to sync my photos from "My pictures". I followed all the instructions and pointed the phot tab at My Pictures. The moment the iPod begins to sync the folder, Itunes starts running very slowly and not responding to input. It eventually gets to "Optimizing photos for Ipod" popup with a status of "1 of 212". The PC starts to suffer now generally not responding to input, shut down, Task Manager requests. after about 10 minutes it goes to "2 of 212" and if I leave it for about 1/2 hour, it may reach 4 0r 5, at which point the PC generally crashes. Crashes have been blue screen of death and/or total restart without notice. This is a brand new Intel Pentium Core Duo with a Vista performance score of 5.6 and more disk space than you can shake a stick at.
I tried resets, restores & updates multiple times. Tried with a folder with one picture in, which it does manage to transfer after 5/6 minutes - but with corruption of the image.
Any help much appreciated, this is driving me crazy.
BTW - I use Picassa 2 but tried shutting it down - same issue. Same with Windows Media Center - although I half suspect I may not have managed to shut down all of Media Center - God knows what Microsoft have it doing....
