in your ipod nano,how do you make the list of your songs in the order you want? how do you make the pictures in your ipod stay.you see,heres an example... i have a picture of a monkey on my pictures folder on my computer.i bring the monkey picture into my ipodnano. when i delete the picture from my folder on the computer and i plug the ipod to the computer,the monkey is gone.

1. On the "Songs" list, songs automatically appear in alphabetical order. To make a custom order, just make a new playlist in iTunes and drag songs into whatever order you prefer.
2. I'm not sure how pictures work, but it might be automatically syncing with the pictures on your computer. If its like music, there is a way to turn that off; check your iPod owner's manual for details.

I'm pretty sure if you tell Itunes to stop syncing pictures it automatically clears them off your Ipod. So basically you need to keep the picture in the folder. (If it works the same way as iphoto & ipod then thats true)
