HT1923 my ipod touch is showing as a digital camera but it doesn't have a camera. How do I change that?

I have a ipod touch and an iphone. Now, when I connect the ipod touch it says it can't read the contents and to restore it, which I did. It was fine for that day but the next it said the same thing, to restore it. How do I get this to work. It had said to delete the back up file but it didn't say how to do it. Also it shows in my computer as a digital camera but it doesn't have one.

IPod Touch not showing up as a camera or removable disc, can't get photos

My iPod Touch 4 is not showing up as a camera device or as a removable disk drive so I cannot pull photos and videos from Camera Roll. I prefer this over email because I don't want compressed versions. The driver in device manager indicates it's up to date. iTunes is able to sync this iPod just fine and if I try this iPod on a different Windows 7 computer it shows up properly. I believe this was working at one point though not 100% sure. Ideas?

Thank you. The hint in this troubleshooting guide to restart the Apple Mobile Device service was a good one. That didn't actually work but it reminded me to try rebooting. Who would have thought that a 20+ year Windows user wouldn't try that first but honestly Windows 7 is so much more stable than any older version that I'm completely broken of that habit and it didn't even occur to me.

PC Windows 7 is now showing iPod Touch (4th Gen) as a digital camera instead of music player

I somehow lost my entire iTunes library on my PC Windows 7 (64 bit) and need to restore it to my PC. When I try to copy the songs from my iPod Touch Version 4.1.2, it shows up as a digital camera device rather than a music player device and only gives photo box to type into. It also does not show up as ipod_control in the ipod drive folders. I followed all instructions but cannot accomplish anything. I also tried to follow instructions provided for the digital camera device to no avail. I have the most recent installed version of iTunes 12 and all my drivers are up to date. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? Thank you so much for your courtesy.

You need a third-party program as discussed here to get non-iTunes purchases from the iPod to a computer.

IPod touch recognized and mounted as digital camera

I've connected my ipod tonight and for my surprise it was recognized by windows (7 RC1) as a digital camera and mounted as an external storage device. It shows 4.2GB of total space in DCF file system (?), wich is the amount shown in itunes as free space, what's goin on? is it indeed to happen? O_o
2.2.1 firmware and itunes 8.1

hello simonhwsn,
this seems to be dependant to the OS due the same os is used on iPhones which has the camera function.
I have a iPod Touch 2G and updated to OS 3.0.
Due this seems to be a feature and not a bug,
I use this function to use my iPod as built-in USB-Stick
to carry additional files always with me.
Kind regards

IPod touch 2nd gen hooked up to computer but iTunes doesn't recognize it

My iPod touch 2g 8GB has always worked fine and synched with the computer, but now the computer doesn't recognze. It is hooked up to the cable and in the USB port. The iPod itself shows that it is charging, so it knows it's in the computer. iTunes should show devices but it doesn't. What should I do? I can't synch new songs or apps. I tried reseting everything and hooking up my ipod to a different port but still the computer doesn't recognize it.

Ipod touch being recognized as a Digital Camera by PC

This is very bizarre.
I connected my ipod touch to my PC and it gets recognized as a Digital Camera. Windows reads it as, and I kid you not, Apple Ipod Digital Camera. Itunes doesn't recognize the device, but upon connecting my ipod touch to the PC the Cannon EOS photo utility starts up...ready and willing to import my pictures.
Strange as this is, it gets even more weird...
For some odd reason now I can not even go on to the apple site. I thought since my itunes isn't up to date to the latest version that maybe the problem so I proceeded to update itunes but now the apple site won't load. It was working fine the day before. I thought maybe the site was down (I have never known the apple site to be down) so I decided to ask a couple of online buddies to visit www.apple.com and they reported as the site loading and operating fine.
What gives???
I rechecked the minimum requirements and it states that I need xp service pack 2 and USB 2.0 to operate properly. I don't have sp2 installed on my XP, but my 30gig 5th generation ipod states the same requirements (The ipod touch is my 3rd ipod) and it works absolutely perfect each time on the same PC.
Why would my ipod touch have an identity crisis and why would it block it's parent site?
Help anyone? The customer service rep at the Apple store was completely baffled.

Check your iTunes version - although your 5th gen works with older iTunes versions, at least 7.4 is required for the IPT - older versions will not even recognize it.
As for the Apple site not working, there have been sporadic reports of that, no known reason, usually resolved in a few hours.
You could also try updating using Apple Software Update (usually found in Start > All Programs), or from within iTunes (Help menu > Check for Updates).
Hope this helps...

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

I am having trouble backing up my ipod touch. It says I should delete my back up and try again. How do I do that and will it delete all my music on my computer/ipod?

How do i delete my back up? I am trying to sync my ipod and it won't work. It says something about the back up being corrupt and that i must delete it and try again. If I do this will it delete my music on my computer/ipod?

Hello mig04,
While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
General troubleshooting
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
Cheers,
Sterling

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

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.
