Question

...Still Digital Camera, complete with a DCIM folder.
Upon USB hookup, Vista popups up a new window with the directory My Computer\Apple iPod\ , with the sub-directories of Internal Storage\DCIM. Free space and Used space are both 0 bytes.
Additionally, the attempt to reset the iPod failed, as Vista claims that recovery mode for the iPod is not supported.

Answer 1

It says 9.1.1(11) -- and the update check says it's there are no updates for me.
Looking through the drivers that are associated with the iPod, I get:
\system32\drivers\WpdMtpDr.dll
\system32\drivers\WpdUSB.dll
\system32\drivers\WUDFRd.sys
\system32\WpdConns.dll
\system32\WpdMtp.dll
\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
No USBaApl.sys at all.
An attempt to auto-update the driver and by manually pointing to the \system32\drivers\ directory yields:
Best driver already installed -- Digital Still Camera
Without an .inf file to easily associate to the iPod, it's hard to choose which of the device drivers to force the usbaaple.sys to the iPod -- I can't choose .sys files, only .infs.
Of the device types:
(Standard MTP-Compliant Device)
--Kodak DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera
--Kodak DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera
--Kodak Digital Camera
--Kodak Digital Camera
--MTP Device Version: 6.0.6000.16386 [6/21/2006]
--MTP Device Version: 6.0.6000.18000 [6/21/2006]
(Standard MTP-compliant devices)
--Digital Still Camera *What Vista thinks the iPod is
--Digital Still Camera
--MTP Device
--MTP Device
--MTP IP Device
--MTP IP Device
(Standard Windows Mobile device)
--Windows Mobile device
(WPD file system device)
--Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver
Outside of the Kodak drivers, I've no idea which one would be best suited for the iPod, and I suspect none of them will work. I should note, the iTunes did recognize the iPod at some point. Thankfully, I only sync'ed to the iPod instead of maintaining a portion of my library on the iPod Touch (I lost some tracks on an iPod Mini when slipped off the jack and hit the ground, crashing the hard drive); I don't have any photos or videos on it.
