Photo Stream Sync HELP

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and just got the touch 5th gen., I want to put all my photos from 4th gen to 5th gen, but I can't. Photo stream only syncs like 5 photos and I have way more. I tried dragging the photos from 4th gen to 5th gen on my windows computer, but it wouldn't let me. Photo stream and photo stream sharing is on for both devices. PLEASE HELP!

iPod touch, iPod 4 photos to iPod 5

I connected both iPods to my computer, copy and pasted all photos from 4th gen in a folder in my pictures on my windows computer, syncing my ipod 5 to add those photos, it did but they aren't like normal pictures you take with the camera: you can't delete them.


Will all the photos sync eventually? "it will take a little while."


PLEASE HELP.

That is correct. The iPod handles synced photos different than phtos taken by or saved to the iPod

Only those photos in the PhotoStream Folder less than 30 old will sync to the iPod via wifi. However, Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
