havent ever used a video one, but my mrs has an ipod nano. Every time we've had probles with it i've found answers on www.ipodlounge.com - they've got a brilliant forum with all sorts of fixes and stuff for ipods and itunes. plus a good shop with loads of gadgets for it

As for adding photos, do you mean digital camera type photos, or do you mean the album art that pops up when you play a song??

if you want to put digital cam photos on it etc, browse the ipod through my computer (I: or J: drive usually) and see if there is a photos or images folder. bang them in there and see if they display...worth a go. It's basially a mass storage device like a usb pen-drive so in theory they must be stored somewhere that your pc can read through explorer

EDIT- do the movies play with sound on your pc? seems to be some settings when ripping you need to use some specific settings or ipod to play it http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread...ighlight=sound
