I'm trying to copy my library but my computer thinks my ipod is a camera :(

this is a pretty long story
my laptop which i normally sync my ipod to is gone for 4 weeks because it's broken. My ipod screen is broken too there is one pixel that will only stay green no matter how many times i restart my ipod it's always green. My warranty ends on the 30th and I want to trade it in. But, if I trade it in then I will lose all the music I purchased on the wifi itunes store after my laptop broke. And I might even lose my entire library depending if any files are lost on my laptop when it is getting fixed. I'm trying to sync my ipod to my desktop computer to save the library ,so when I exchange it I can sync it with my desktop. And when my laptop is fixed I'll transfer it back. But when I try syncing my Ipod to my desktop comp. it shows up as a camera and can't open with itunes. When I click on it in my computer it's empty because it doesn't have any picture files on it (which is weird because I do actually have pics saved on my ipod). I know that there is music and videos on my ipod because i can watch and listen to them. Does anyone have an answer or any advice for my problem? Or do you have a similar problem? I want to get all the help I can get =]

  • I restarted my Ipod Nano I'm trying to sync my library from my computer to my Ipod but I don't see the sync prompt

    I grew impacient and since I couldn't transfer my Ipod Nano's songs to my computer and also I coudn't sync my existing library from my computer to my Ipod Nano, I decided to restore my Ipod, obviously in blanck. But I thoght that restoring my Ipod it would make easier to transfer the songs from my PC to my Ipod but I don't see any prompt o question to sync the library. I'm also wondering if when you restore the device you're also deleting the Operating System ?? (crap) I would really appreciate if somebody can help with this issue or I'm afraid I' need to buy a new one...
    Thank You !!
    BTW: My Ipod Nano is 5th Generation.

  • I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing.  I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

    How did you rebuild?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I am trying to copy iphoto library Error Code 36

    I am trying to copy iphoto library from one hard drive to another and get the message The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36) = Need to back iy up or my wife will kill me. thanks for help

    Here is something you can try:
    Obtain iPhoto Library Manager. It is an inexpensive program you can download. Run it and tell it to REBUILD your iPhoto Library from your original iPhoto Library. It will create a NEW file in a destination that you specify (you can specify the other hard drive and thus get a backup all at once) and try to recreate the iPhoto Library based on the info from your original one. Depending on the problem causing your -36 file error, iPhoto Library Manager may (a) successfully recreate your entire photo library successfully on the other hard drive; (b) recreate all of your original photo library except for the part that is damaged; or (c) won't be able to finish at all if the disk problems are severe enough.
    If (c) happens, you may have to copy the actual photos individually out of the iPhoto Library and into a new iPhoto Library. The actual photos are inside the iPhoto Library. You can find them by control-click once on the iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents. The folder called Originals or Masters has the photos (originals) and a folder called Modified or Previews has the edited photos. I suggest COPYING (not moving) these folders to the external drive. You will then need to re-import the actual photos inside these folders to a new iPhoto Library.

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • How do I find the copied itunes library on my computer?

    I'm trying to transfer my itunes library to an exteral hard drive, I followed the instructions on this page and I think I copied my library but not only do I not understand how to actually transfer it to my external hard drive but now I think I have two copies of my library on my computer and want to find it so I don't use up any more space. The instructions said I should delete the original but I don't want to delete anything until I know which is the original. Help!

    The instructions I followed was from Old Article: 307074 on the Apple Support under the subject "Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive", the question is now that I copied the library where do I find it and if I'm to delete the original as it says to where is that and how do I avoid deleting everything. And another thing, the graphic at the bottom where it says you simple drag your library to your external hard drive is not what I'm getting.

    Is your iMac still really on OS X 10.2 Jaguar?
    Could you supply more accurate info about your Mac.
    What Mac do you have?
    To find out info about your system,
    Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears.
    Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
    Click on the button that says More Info.
    A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
    Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply.
    This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.

  • How do you download is07 I tried to do the update but my computer times out

    How do you download is07 I tried to do the update but my computer times out

    If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software on your computer until the download has completed.
    Before starting the actual update you should force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up, and preferably copy any important documents, photos, files etc off the iPad so that you have copies of them outside of the backup.

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd

    Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!

    Possible solutions:
    You need to hold the c key down before booting
    You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
    You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
    There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
    Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
    Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
    You have malware of some sort
