Autoplay dialog won't open when I plug in my iPod Touch 4th gen

Hello!
I need to take my iPod into be fixed because it has a cracked screen and I'm trying to import my photos onto my laptop (Windows 7) but when I plug my iPod in nothing happens except the iTunes window pops up. I went into Autoplay and made sure that the setting said "Ask me every time" and then I restarted my laptop but that hasn't helped!
The iPod won't show up in Windows underneath computer.
I then went into accessories and right-clicked "command prompt" and typed in shellhwdetection and I restarted my laptop again but that hasn't helped either!
Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated!

If you manually open iTunes does the iTunes see the iPod?
Have you synced with this computer before?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

I just bought a new Retina Display macbook pro, and I plugged in my iPod touch (4th gen) into the new computer, but it will not show up, even after I typed in the passcode. How do I get my iTouch to sync with my new computer without restoring my itouch?

HT201210 please let me know how to get past error msg 11 when trying to restore an ipod touch 4th gen

please let me know how to get past error msg 11 when trying to restore an ipod touch 4th gen

Is the iPod jailbroken? Googling shows that error 11 appears if it has been jailbroken.

ITunes won't open when I plug in my iPod.

I added some more songs to iTunes, and when I plugged in my iPod, iTunes didn't open or anything. It did nothing.

Itunes won't start when i plug in my ipod Touch

When I plug my iPod Touch into my computer iTunes will not launch.
I have iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and Windows Vista Pro.
I checked in services and "iTunesHelper.exe" ; "Apple Mobile Device" ; "iPod Service" are all started and set to automatic
Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
What am I missing that keeps iTunes from opening on its own?

Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
Good Lord. I'm not sure that I've ever seen this hit someone in quite this context, but that's consistent with a blown-out iTunes preferences file (a greyed-out option that can't be selected).
Before messing with your preference files, I think we'd better check to see if this is a user-account specific problem. (There's a different set of iTunes preferences files in each Vista user account ... so if it's a blown-out pref file causing your issue in the usual user account, you should be able to get iTunes launching when an ipod is plugged in in a different user account.)
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. (Give the new user account full administrative rights.)
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Open iTunes in the new user account. The iTunes setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted ... just let her open eventually to an empty library.
Now go "Edit > Preferences". Click the "Devices" tab. Check the "Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically" box. Click OK.
Now quit iTunes. Stay in the new user account. Plug the Touch in. *(Do not associate the Touch with the empty library!)*
Does iTunes launch for you? Or do you get the same trouble as in the usual user account?

When i plug in my ipod touch 4th generation i go to itunes and a message pops up that says"this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started". but my ipod came to the connect to itunes screen

i can not get my ipod to get out of the connect to itunes page , and when i plug it in it says itunes mobile device system is not setup

From what I know from troubleshooting all sorts of screwed-up PC devices, you should try the following steps (I have assumed you didn't try any of them, so plz don't take offence for some "basics"):
1) Updating the iTunes on your PC, or if it's already the latest, see if you can find the individual install package of "Apple Mobile Device Support" by using Window's Search (the package should be "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi") and reinstall it (Uninstall the existed one first). If you can't find the individual package, I think you may find a downloadable one online, or if you want to simply the process, just reinstall the whole iTunes.
2) If problem remains, check if there's any "application/service monitoring function" on your anti-virus/spyware program, and find if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is on its "blocked list", remove this entry when you find it.
3) Check if there's any "Registry" clean-up software/function in a software, or whether you've altered any apple-related or unknown registry entries. If it's a yes, see if you can find the most recent Registry backup before the iPod connection problem occured. In the case you do not have any backup (Make sure! Almost every Registry clean-up software would back-up Registry before any cleaning process. You can find them in this software's directory), simply use the "system restore" program of Windows to restore your computer to the latest point when iPod's connection with PC was still functioning.
Since we can't find any problems with "Apple Moblie Device Support" from above steps, let's refocus to the hardware part:
4) Restore the "setting part" to default on you iPod, if you don't want to wipe clean your setting now, try below steps first.
1) Plug in your iPod to other USB port, if it doesn't work, try plug in other devices to check if there's any problem with your USB ports or USB's drivers on PC. (If there is, try 'roll back' the USB driver's version by entering to its 'property' on right-clicked menu, if still doesn't work, maybe the USB ports are broken-down)
6) Go over the steps and check if you've tried everything. The latest choice I'd advise is to check if you can find another "USB cable" for iPod and plug-in so you'd know if the original is broken.
Well, that's about all I can think of. Good luck and post your questions if you need any clear-up.

When playing a song on ipod touch 4th gen, the display doesn't show the time lenghth of song or the shuffle, repeat options. Any thoughts??

When I used to play music, the song display showed the album art, the length of the song and how much time was left, it also had a repeat and shuffle option at the bottom of the screen A couple of days ago, these things disappeared. Any thoughts??

when the song is playing/on the music player tap the album cover or the middle of the screen and these things should pop up for you. If that doesn't work then i dont know.

ITunes locks when I plug in my iPod Touch

I recently transferred my iTunes library and devices from my old notebook to my new PC. It worked fine. About 3 weeks later, I found that when I plug in my iPod Touch 3rd gen that iTunes would hang up if it was open. If I don't open iTunes, I can plug in the Touch and then start iTunes and it doesn't lock up and I can sync. The same seems to happen with my iPad.
I'm at a loss as to how to go about fixing this, or even how to debug it. I'm running iTunes 10.2.1.1 and both devices have IOS 4.2.1. It might have started happening after I upgraded to 10.2.1.1. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a quad-core machine with 8Gb of RAM.
Any suggestions? Should I start by uninstalling iTunes and re-installing?
Thanks, Gary Berg

That had a link, a couple times removed, to how to reinstall iTunes. I followed that, and it is better, but not perfect. It appears to be linked to whether or not I've checked for new podcasts since I started iTunes.
So it's not a complete fix, but helped. Frankly, I wonder if it's a bug in this version of iTunes.

I just updated my iTunes to 10.5 and now when I plug in my iPod touch and iPad it won't sync or even recognize them.

Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
Enable disk use is checked off
I ran a scan no malware
Windows XP

So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
Am I close?
It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.
