What Is iPod Photo Cache<\/b><\/h2>\n
When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices, iTunes will automatically create a folder named \u201ciPod Photo Cache\u201d. iPod Photo Cache is used to store photos that are optimized for display on iPod, iPad, or iPhone. For example, if you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPod, it will automatically convert those photos into 16-bitmaps format. iPod Photo Cache stores the converted photos before transferring them to the iPod. This would allow iTunes to remove photos from your iPod more quickly next time, instead of reconverting again. The location of iPod Photo Cache folder depends on the sync options you selected. You can delete the folder, but next time when you sync the photos, this folder will be automatically created again. Usually, iPod Photo Cache folder is larger than the actual size of synced photos. The higher the resolution of the photos is, the bigger the iPod Photo Cache will be.<\/p>\n
