When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.
No power adaptor? Try this.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge. PLZ HELP ME!!!!

- If in recovery mode the screen will have an iTunes logo with an USB plug.
- Have you tried connecting it to your computer for a n hw and then see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore the iPod.
- If screen is blank, try placing he iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . .

Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How do I change this so itunes can see it?

Windows thinks my ipod touch is a digital camera. How can I change the device in windows, so that i can re-register it as an ipod and itunes can connect with it.?

It is normal for the iPod to be seen as a camera since that is how one gets photo off the iPod. You can turn it off by:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Disabling digital camera notification in Windows XP
To get iTunes to see you iPod see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you previoulys installed camera or scanner software that may be causing the problem.

Hello i think my ipod has been stolen

i THink my ipod has been stolen and i didnt set up icloud on it. i wasnt sure if theres a way to set it up on icloud with the serial number and then track it or is there a way to track it a different way. like with the serial number?
please help. it was a college graduation gift from my fiance 3 years ago.

No
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

ITunes sometimes 'thinks' the iPod is corrupted

iTunes sometimes thinks the iPod is corrupted. But it only thinks so if I connect the iPod WHILE itunes is running. If I connect the iPod and then start iTunes there isn't a problem. Or if the message below appears I can click OK.. stop itunes, restart itunes and then iTunes can see the the iPod just fine.
http://codethought.com/images/itunesfailmsg.png
I've tried reformatting the iPod - same thing. I've also flushed my OS installation out.. reinstalled OS X from scratch.. and the problem went away... until today. Now the problem is back.
Any thoughts on how to determine what the root cause might be, or how to diagnose it?

I am having the same problem with my old iPod. I just bought a new iPod an hour ago and same thing.
Help anybody?
I am using Windows XP

I think my ipod might have a software problem what should i do????

i think my ipod has a software problem and i call the place i brought it from and they said for me to reset the whole thing so it would show the itunes logo and usb logo i tried to connect it to itunes nothing happened but my brothers one works so should i return it to the place i brought it frome because i have a garantee on it for 3 years so can any one give my some info on what i should do???????????????????????///

Yeah it shows the usb and itunes icons the guy from thr place I brought it from said to rest the whole thing by going to setting, genral, rest, erase all content and setting. It rest every thing and left me on the usb and itunes icons the guy said if it does not work then I should take it back to se if there is a sofeware issue and they will repalce it. When the ipod is connected to windows the ipod does not show up on itunes and now the ipod is at the usb and itunes icon I cant do any thing so I think there might be a software issue with it or something and my brother ipod is a touch too.

PC thinks my iPod Touch is a camera

Whenever I plug my iPod Touch into its USB port, the PC (which is running WindowsXP) gives me a window with 3 choices. I can either "launch" 1) the ABBYY FineReader (which looks like scanning software), 2) the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, or 3) Picassa 3. I suppose there is a 4th choice which is to do nothing and that's what I usually do.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5, which might've been a mistake. I don't recall whether my iPod showed up under DEVICES with the previous version, but I don't think I ever had any trouble finding it. Now, DEVICES doesn't even show up on the left-hand column in iTunes. I followed some instructions that were suggested for a question similar to mine. The result was that iTunes wanted to "Restore" my iPod, i.e. restore it to its factory settings and (I presume) wipe out any apps or content I already managed to put on it. It didn't show the "name" of my iPod or any other information about it, like I remember seeing on a similar screen on my PC before (most likely in the previous version of iTunes).
If I look under My Computer in Windows, the iPod is visible and even shows the "name" we gave it the way iTunes used to. The trouble is that My Computer recognizes it as a "Digital camera." If I double-click on it, I see the two pictures I've transfered from the PC to the iPod but nothing else. If I try dragging an mp3 file into that window, nothing happens.
So I suppose I have 2 questions:
1) How do I get my PC to recognize my iPod Touch as an iPod instead of a camera?
and
2) How do I get DEVICES to show up in iTunes without wiping out the existing Apps and downloaded content?
What I would really like to do is move some music and some podcasts from my PC to the iPod Touch, but right now all I can move are pictures. That is why this question has the title is does and I'm hoping answers to the above questions will allow me transfer mp3 files, which is my ultimate goal.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I went to the link you posted and followed all the steps. I was thrilled to see that it worked! I don't recall whether my PC still recognized my iPod Touch as a camera or not, but DEVICES did show up in iTunes and it recognized the name of my iPod Touch.
Now, though, everything is back the way it was. The PC tells me I have a camera connected via USB and iTunes doesn't even have DEVICES listed in the left-hand column.
I'm wondering if this is the problem: I had the iPod on until the battery was so "low" that it stopped. I didn't press and hold the button on top. In fact, until I read the article you linked to, I didn't even know you could turn the iPod on and off that way. I would only press it once until the screen turned blank and simply pressed the Home buttom to turn it back on. Until I read that article, I thought the Home button was the On button.
So now my question is this: Should I ALWAYS turn the iPod off by pressing and holding the button on top until I see the red slider on the screen?
Thanks!

Computer Thinks My iPod Touch is a Camera

I know there are lots of topics on this, but I can't find a solution! I recently recieved a new Laptop (Dell Inspiron running Windows Vista 32-bit.) When it came to plugging my 16gb 2nd gen iPod Touch in for the 1st time, I went into My Computer to transfer my music over, but my iPod was being displayed as a digital still camera. It is appearing in iTunes with all my music on it, but the problem seems to be with the computer. I have tried updating the device driver, as suggested in the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&tstart=0
but it just says the correct drivers are installed. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and then reconnecting my iPod, but the computer just installs the same driver again. Last time I checked, my iPod was working with my desktop computer (that also has all my music on it) that is running windows xp. I have the latest version of iTunes installed and software 2.2 on my iPod (2.2.1 update almost killed it!) Any help would be grately appreciated! Thanks x

do you have 'Saved Photos' on your iPod? i.e. ones which you have obtained on the touch by email/safari/screenshots?
this is what usually makes the computer think it is a camera. when you do have 'Saved Photos' you can remove them either by deleting on the ipod (select photo, hit the bin icon) OR (on a PC) navigate to My Computer, it should come up in there like other external drives/disks do.
you CAN'T however move your music from your iPod to your computer. because (apart from with photos) it does not have a disk mode. you will need to move your music from your old computer to your new one as you presumably have with your other files.

I think my ipod touch is set to camera mode and I need to switch it back. When I hoook it up to my computer it thinks I am hooking up a camera and wants to download pics. It used to read it as an ipod and automatically synch. Now it doesn't do that. HELP

When I first got my ipod, I would hook it up to my computer and it would automatically synch with my itunes. But then I took some pictures with my ipod and downloaded the pics. Now everytime I hook up my ipod to my computer, it reads it as a camera and asks if I want to download pics. It is driving me crazy. I haven't used my ipod as a camera since that one time, and I need to get it back to automatically synching when I hook it up. It's like it is not being recognized as an ipod. Is there something I can do to get my ipod out of camera mode and back to ipod mode. Also, i got a speaker system to hook up my ipod to and it is not "picking up" the ipod when I hook it up. the music will not come out of the speakers and I think again it is an issue of my ipod being in "camera" mode. HELP!!!

As mentioned in your other post, disable the camera notification, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
But you'll have to be logged in with administrative rights, to change the settings.

New to Apple, I think my ipod touch is doa

Hello all
First of all, I would just like to say I am new to Apple and the discussion forums so hello to all!
Unfortunately, my main reason for joining isn't a positive one. I have received an 1st gen 8gb ipod touch from an upgrade offer with a mobile phone network (UK). After a long wait and several complaints to them, they finally sent me the ipod. However, I think the device is dead on arrival.
When I first unboxed it, I did the usual thing: Download iTunes, connect the device to my computer. iTunes informed me that the device was in "recovery mode" and that I must "restore" first to use the iPod. This is where the problem is, the restore process does not complete. I get an "1604" error.
I went to an Apple store, where a kind member of staff attempted to get me started with the device only to encounter the same problem. He pointed out to me that on the same page as the "restore" button in iTunes, the ipod information does not state the device capacity and other information which he found wierd. Could this be clue to whats going on?
The mobile phone network don't want anything to do with my problem as it was a promotional offer, also they no longer have stock of the device and the new ipod is out now. They insist I should take up my problem with apple.
Has anyone had experience with this? Maybe there is someone out there who has also had a doa device. Any advice is much appreciated. What are my options? Am I able to have this device repaired or replaced?
Many thanks in advance
-J

Typical phone service.
Not the 1604, this will lead to error (6).
Had this while trying to update to 2.0.
Congradualations to your phone company for sending you an iPod with an overloaded hardriive incapable of handling a software too advanced for it.

I think my iPod's hard drive is dead.

Today I plugged in my disk-use enabled iPod to retrieve some game-saves i had backed up to it. Through copying them, it said: "Cannot copy [filename]. Parameter is incorrect.". I tried it repeatedly and with different files, resetting, rebooting and reinstalling along the way. After this happens, trying to open any of the folders in the iPod result in an error message: "Please insert a disk into I:".
I think its safe to say, my iPod is a brick. My question is twofold: Is there any way to retrieve the data or resuscitate it and will my warantee cover this.

hmmm try to open iTunes before You sync Ipod on your computer ( like you want to play some music before you connect your iPod ). After it iTunes is fully open connect ipod.
Is your iPod showing " do not disconnect " stuff? If it is it would take a while before it sync ( installing his own software on iPod, which might be damaged or something ). If it's taking too long ( do no half an hour ) try to install iTunes you got with your iPod.
Hope this help.

I think my iPod 2nd generation was stolen. What can I do to locate it?

My iPod is sort of old and I couldn't sign it up for, find my iPhone. So is there any other way I could use to locate its location?

I don't think it has "Find my iPod"
So it's probably impossible to locate it.
Sorry mate.

ITunes 11.1.4 (Win 7) suddenly thinks my iPod Classic (7th gen) is a new iPod

My iPod Classic has worked fine since I got it last year with my laptop, but suddenly when I plug it in now iTunes says "welcome to your new iPod". The iPod itself plays fine and all my music is intact. But I now can't play it through iTunes or manage my playlists.

I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0, and my new laptop uses USB 3.0. I think they are not compatable because of this. If you find a solution to this please let me know.
Thanks,

I think my ipods knackard
