  • Ipod being recognised as a camera

    I have recently downloaded the latest version of i-tunes.
    However when now I plug in my ipod it is stating that the device is a camera and I cannot update anything.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Very annoying!

    Hello wrelts84,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your iPod is most likely being recognized as a camera because you have saved photos on it. If you remove them and try to reconnect your iPod, it should appear correctly in iTunes. Saved photos could include saved email attachments as well as screen shots you have taken on your iPod Touch.
    Go to the "Saved Photos" album under Photos and delete all the photos from that album and see if that helps.

  • IPod not recognised in iTunes, Camera in Vista

    Alright, things have changed again.
    My iPod doesn't show up in My Computer unless I take a screenshot, at which point it shows up as a camera.
    In Safe Mode iTunes tells me the iPod cannot be used because it's safemode. Fine. At least it knows there's an iPod.
    When I plug in my iPod without screenshot, HP Wireless Assistant icon pops up from the system tray. With screenshot, it shwos up as well as an AutoPlay window telling me a camera is connected. "Apple iPod" shows up as Portable Devices in My Computer.
    Apparently no one knows how to solve this and I don't get much help, so can you just tell me where I can go to fix my laptop? I've at least devised that the iPod softwar/hardware is fine.
    It's an HP Pavilion dv9000. I bought it overseas, and I don't know where I put the waranty, but I don't care if I have to pay. I've already been ripped off by apple, what's a few more bucks.

    If you need help with your HP laptop you'll have to speak to HP. 
    With regard to your iPod being recognized as a camera read this:

    And for it being recognized in iTunes:

    Make sure you work through each step in turn as detailed in the articles - even if you've tried some aspects before.

  • Ipod being recognized as a digital camera

    After months of perfectly sound use in syncing etc suddenly my ipod is being recognized as a digital camera. I have followed all the instructions in the help sections, I have been to the Authorized service centre, I and the service centre have removed itunes several times and started and restared everything sooooo many times and we have reverted to old versions of itunes too. Still the ipod is being recognized as a camera.
    no one seems to know why this has happened nor how to correct it.
    HELP !!!!!!! (please)

    take a look @ these threads: one and [two|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11045615#11045615].

  • How do I resolve the issue of a 2nd generation iPod touch not being shown on iTunes 11.4?

    2nd generation iPod not being shown on iTunes 11.4
    How do I resolve this issue? I have tried reinstalling after uninstalling it, nothing has worked for me any advice?

    Well, go ahead and try every port, make sure to clean out the port with a q-tip, to make sure no dust is blocking the ports.
    Then enter DFU, if iTunes doesnt recoginze it when your in DFU, that means you charging input is damadged.
    Hope this help

  • 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.

  • Memory still being used but no songs playlists being shown

    I went to charge my I-pod, using the adapter, and when I went back later to start playing songs, it showed that all the songs were gone (or not being shown) and no playlists!
    But the weird thing is, my I-pod is still using the same amount of memory. I did the manual reset and still it's the same!
    Anyone can explain this or help me out?
    Cheers!

    First thing to check is if the songs show up when you connect your iPod to you computer and open iTunes.
    If they do not, you will need to Restore your iPod using the iPod Updater. NOTE: this WILL ERASE all music on your iPod.
    The disappearance of your music is usually caused by corrupt iPod software. The restore will fix things.

  • Wrong artwork being shown

    This is a rarity. Some songs display the wrong album artwork. I have checked with iTunes to make sure that there isn´t a problem or corruption there and there wasn´t.
    Obviously I don´t know how pervasive this problem is as I don´t stare at my iPod5 lovingly all day. Maybe I should

    The artwork was attached to songs in iTunes. When I saw the wrong artwork I made a note of the song and then checked with iTunes. The artwork is correct in iTunes. One thing I have not checked to see if the song file has multiple pieces of artwork....The next time I see an erroroneous picture I will make a note and check in iTunes.
    I am unsure about the randomness of the problem. I use my iPod when I am working or commuting and I haven´t checked each song as it is played. I did try to do that in the office yesterday and found that the problem is more extensive than I thought. What I haven´t tried is to go back to a problem song and see if the wrong artwork is still being shown.

  • HTML file is not being shown properly in the JEditorPane

    Hi,
    I am using JEditorPane to display an HTML file from the local disk. This HTML file contains the html tables. Now when this file is getting displayed in the JEditorPane, one top row grid is not being displayed in the editor pane. content of the row is there...but the column grid is missing. All other rows and columns are being shown but the first row-column grid which contains the heading for column.
    Also when I m printing the content of this JEditorPane using Java Print API then no grid is being printed on the paper. content is coming properly but no table grids. when i have taken the print out of the original html file from the browser then table grids are being printed out properly.
    Please do help me out in showing the HTML file in the JEditorPane properly and printing the same.
    Many Thanks,
    gshankar

    Hi,
    JEditorPane renders HTML with many limitations.
    You can use JDIC for the same. refer: jdic.dev.java.net
    But JDIC does not work on windows 98.

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S

  • 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.

  • PDF Export Options not being Shown

    Need to export to pdf again. Last export was for only 6 pages, as a test. Now want to export the entire document. However, only 6 pages are created in the export. No options to revise the pages, are presented.
    The iD app is acting strangely, in that many other options are not being shown. Also, on loading a document, there are notes about hyphenation and missing LILO. Beginning to believe I need to reinstall.
    Pleae advise best course of action at this point.

    before you reinstall, see if trashing the prefs helps. See Replace Your Preferences

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:
