ipod DOES NOT SUCKS

I have some recent relevant experience. I just returned from the Dominican Republic, where I had my new Ipod 60G Video, and my 20D, complete with Apple camera connector. After the first day, I connected, loaded my pictures into the Ipod, and from that point on was unable to listen to music for the rest of the trip. The song index was present, and all my songs appeared there. However, when ever I attempted to play one, it simply skipped the song after a few seconds of silence, and moved onto the next song. So it kind of cycled silently and quickly through 20GB of songs without actually making a sound. Connecting it to Itunes when I returned home magically fixed the problem. Boy was I pissed. :splatI did not try backing up any photos after that because there was no indication that the first set of photos were still there. After returning home, I also discovered the photos were on the Ipod, however, the last few I'd taken were missing. That was odd.

I will say that both RAW and JPG files were in the mix, and perhaps this is what confused the Ipod. Also, I had Ipod s/w V1.0, and just upgraded to the new 1.1 release. So I guess I'll try it again and see what happens.

kdog is right. My ipod works !!
Apple says the ipod is compatible with the 20D.

Of course, it is true! :
The camera must be in Comunication PTP !
Later on, I will try with the 350 D and let you know if it works or not.
One thing thought, which is not important, we can not see the RAW files.
So, we must photograph RAW and JPG if photos are to seen on the ipod.
It is fast ! and gooooood.

I hate to bump an old thread like this, but this is the only article that covers specifically what I'm wondering about...

Does the iPod Camera Connecter (Apple version) transfer RAW files from the Canon 20D, regardless of whether or not you can see them?

The above responses aren't clear, but the answer seems to be yes.

i have about 29.5 GBs of music on my ipod, I couldn't even try the photo thing if I tried. Its cool it does that though, never knew it when I bought it.

this is my back up equipment when I travel.
You have to change the communication in the camera to make it work

Whoa whoa whoa... hold on peoples.

Using a program like Ephpod, you can add/edit contacts manually on an iPod (as well as import Outlook contacts like iTunes does). (It's free, btw).

I've used it; it works. Hope is not lost.
