iPod photo may seem to stop responding when importing movies

Your iPod photo may appear to get stuck or stop responding while importing photos and movies from your camera or media reader. Don't worry. Most likely, your iPod is still hard at work.

This apparent situation can happen because iPod photo only generates thumbnails of images that it can display. Since it doesn't display movies, you won't see a thumbnail for a movie as it's being imported; instead you'll see the thumbnail of the previously imported image.

If the movie you're importing is very large, it may appear that your iPod is no longer responding when, in fact, it's still importing the file. Here are some ways you can tell if your iPod is still importing files:

• You will see the progress indicator and the number of items imported update on your iPod.
• The word "Importing" will flash on and off during the photo import.
• If you set your iPod to display the time in the title bar, you will see the time update.
