IPOD recognized as Camera by the PC

My ITUNES was filled with a lots of old music I didn't want from my original download 6 months ago.  So I deleted all the music on ITUNES with the intent to re-install with only the songs I wanted that were coming from my Windows Media Player. 
To do this, I deleted the ITUNES.  I then went to ITUNES and copied the songs from Windows Media Player to ITUNES using File > Add Folder to Library, which copied fine and plays on ITUNES without any issue.  I then tried to sync my IPOD to the ITUNES from my PC and the problem started.
When I attach my IPOD to my USB port in my Window XP PC, it recognizes it as a Camera/Scanner, not as an IPOD.  This also shows as the connected device in "My Computer".  Obviously,it does not sync my songs to a camera.
How or what settings can I adjust to make it recognize the IPOD as an IPOD and sync the music from the ITUNES?  I cannot find any settings in the IPOD that addresses this or on the ITUNES screen.
(I am very new at this, so cut me a little slack for asking this rudimentary question.)

First, try disabling the camera notification for the iPod.  See this article for details on how to do this.

  • How much will it be to exchange an Ipod with no camera in the front with one that has one on the front

    I want to exchange a ipod 5 touch with camera in front

    Hey Patty320, If you're within 14 days days of purchase you can return it and then buy a 32G or 64G. If past the time period, disconnect un-tether this iPod from your computer (so the person who buys it from you can use it) and sell it outright then use the money to purchase a 32G ($299) or 64G ($399) iPod 5. Good luck. Cheers.

  • IPod recognized, but where's the file?

    Whenever I try to sync my iPod (20GB, not sure what Gen) iTunes knows it's there, and it gets halfway done with syncing, but then I get this message:
    "iPod cannot be updated because the required file cannot be found."
    Then all my work is void. My library and iTunes are working fine. Please help!!! I'm really frustrated, it's been like this since December last year!!! Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi Amaya!
    A "required file" error message like this one you're getting can be caused by a few different things.
    So, let's go ahead and work through some steps to try, one-by-one, and see if anything seems to work for you.
    The basic procedure with the following instructions would be to disconnect your iPod from your computer prior to actually performing the task.
    Then, when you are complete with that step, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer again, to check if you are still getting the error message. Repeat this kind of sequence as you go onto each next possibility to try:
    <hr>
    Corrupt Photo Cache folder:
    Sometimes the "iPod Photo Cache" folder(s) on your computer can be corrupted in some way, which causes this error message.
    Try deleting this folder off your computer:
    1 - Go to "START > Search".
    2 - Select "All files and folders", and make sure that you are searching over your entire hard drive.
    3 - Then, type "ipod photo cache" in the blank, and click "Search" to begin searching.
    4 - When the search is complete, delete any "iPod Photo Cache" folders that you may find on your computer.
    <hr>
    iTunes needs to be reinstalled:
    It's possible that iTunes needs to be reinstalled, perhaps because some required installation files were not loaded properly, or have been deleted.
    Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
    Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
    Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    After you've done that, restart your computer.
    Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Now, restart your computer once more.
    <hr>
    Corrupt iTunes Library files:
    -- It's possible that there is some sort of corrupt file in the iTunes library, which is causing this error.
    When you are getting this error message, does it seem to occur when it hits a particular song(s) in the sync?
    If so, then try tracking down where which song that is, and then attempt to play that song in iTunes.
    If you think you've found the culprit, delete it from your iTunes library (with your iPod disconnected), and reimport it into your iTunes again.
    -- Make sure that your external hard drive is connected. If you store your iTunes library songs on an ex. hard drive, then make sure that it is connected to your computer, or else you will have files that cannot be found in your iTunes library.
    <hr>
    USB issues:
    This error could also be caused by something with your computer's USB connections with your iPod.
    -- First, try connecting your iPod to a rear port, not the front one.
    -- With your iPod disconnected, try unplugging all other USB and FireWire devices (except your keyboard and mouse).
    -- Update or reinstall your USB drivers. For instructions, see the steps in this article.
    -- Also, you could try using a different USB cord. Disconnect your current one from your computer and your iPod, and restart your computer. Now connect the new USB cord (if you have another one) to your computer, and connect your iPod.
    <hr>
    Firewall issues:
    It's possible that your firewall or antivirus software is blocking an iTunes process (like iTunesHelper.exe, for example), from running properly when your iPod is connected.
    First, let's determine what Internet security software you have.
    If you're not sure, you can go to "START > All Programs", and browse along the list for your security program.
    (Make sure to do the following with iTunes closed and your iPod disconnected.)
    Here are a couple of firewall/security programs that come to mind, that we have kbase articles (or I have the security program myself) about how to allow iTunes onto it:
    If you're using your Windows firewall, then you can use this article to enable iTunes on it:
    How to enable iTunes on Windows XP firewall
    If you're using McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, then use the instructions in this article to enable iTunes there.
    (That article above only mentions "iTunesHelper", but allow anything Apple/iPod/iTunes related on that list... not sure if that is the only one listed there, but look around anyway).
    If you're using Norton Internet Security
    If you are using something else, then usually, you launch the program, and go to some sort of section like "Settings", then go to something that says "Firewall settings", "Internet Permissions", or something similar.
    Try to find a list of applications that it "Allows/Blocks".
    Then, like normal, enable "iTunesHelper.exe", or "iTunes.exe", and "iPodService.exe" or anything else iTunes/iPod related (again, not sure if there are many things on that kind of list).
    Now, after you've enabled iTunes processes on your firewall, restart your computer. Then, check your firewall again, just to make sure that your settings haven't changed back to default, and are still allowing iTunes.
    Then, connect your iPod, and see if it syncs with iTunes or not.
    <hr>
    Let's test something...
    If that does not fix your issue, then I would also like to do a little test with how something acts on your computer for you:
    With iTunes opened and your iPod disconnected, go to Task Manager (CtrlAltDelete), and click on the "Processes" tab. Here, there ought to be these three processes listed:
    iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, and iPodService.exe.
    Carefully watch those three processes (if they are all there), and leave your Task Manager up and runnning so you can see what happens.
    Now, connect your iPod to your computer.
    Do those three processes stay in your Processes area when the iPod is connected? Or does some other strange thing occur?
    For example, do either of those applications only stay for a few seconds when your iPod is connected, then promptly disappear?
    Now that were done with the test (please describe the results of what happened in a reply), you can move onto some other possibilities:
    <hr>
    Other causes:
    There could also be other things that could cause this error.
    For example, if your computer is out-of-date with its Windows Updates, that might be a contributing factor.
    You could try enabling disk use in iTunes, then resync your iPod with iTunes, and see if the error still occurs. (for instructions on disk use, check disk use
    In addition, I would suggest that you could try reinstalling your iPod's software update files.
    See this for instructions:
    What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found
    For some more ideas on "other causes", you could take a look at what is mentioned in this article. (i.e., running Chkdsk on your hard drive, or keeping your computer up-to-date with its downloads).
    <hr>
    I hope one of those things solves your issue, good luck,

  • IPod recognized as camera

    Yesterday I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version [10.1 I think]. Now every time I plug in my iPod Touch 2nd gen., a yellow window at the bottom right of my screen says "Found New Hardware: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" and then another window comes up saying "Welcome to the Found New Hardware wizard. This wizard helps you to install software for: Digital Still Camera" with two options: Install the software automatically, and Install from a list or specific location. There are next and cancel buttons. I normally click cancel. Also, iTunes will not recognize my iPod, so I cannot sync or charge my iPod. On my iPod screen when it is plugged in, the wallpaper screen shows up, not the battery screen that shows up when it is charging.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and I've tried doing something with the services utility in the control panel which I read online. Nothing has worked. Please help me!

    I figured it out . When I plugged my iPod in, I installed it as a camera (I don't remember if I did that before), and then I followed Yorkwill's advice on this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&start=0&tstart=0 . I'm not sure why, but when I tried it the first time, I did not see my iPod listed in the device manager, and when I tried it a second time it did. Thank you for your help, and I hope it works for anyone else having the same problem.

  • Mac is not recognizing my camera AGAIN

    Can someone, PLEASE, give me an answer?
    Image Capture, iPhoto and Aperture stopped recognizing my camera. The camera blinks while connected as always, I can see it in the System Profiler. In About This Mac, under the USB section, I can see that Canon Digital Camera is showing.
    The curious thing is that when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears again.
    What could cause this problem? I once had the same problem, formatting my camera solved it, but this time I tried it a few times and it didn't work.

    "when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image
    Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears"
    Once ejected, a disk/camera has to be replugged in.
    But this doesn't seem to be the problem. When connected properly
    the cam is showing up in Finder and ATMac. I believe the three
    apps aren't seeing your pics because possibly the correct camera
    storage setting may not be selected in the Finder - although device
    itself is connected and present. When my camera connects to the
    Mac I always need to select one of several options - I select DCIM
    and that turns out to be my pics. Good luck.

  • Can I use my Ipod Mini A1070 charger with the 4th gen Shuffle?

    I have the old Ipod Mini which came with the A1070 charger.  Would this charger be OK with the 4th generation (current) Shuffle?
    The connections all fit properly but I was concerned about the compatibility between how much power was going into the device from the AC outlet.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  Just got the Shuffle home and the Ipod Mini charger is not compatible.  The connections don't fit.  The connections do fit on my I-Pad charger and I've heard stories going both ways that it will work and it won't work.

  • All of my iTunes music/apps have been deleted, and my iPod is being recognized as a digital camera by the computer. Help?

    Hi!
    I went on my iTunes today, and it kept saying "
    The itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I restarted my computer and opened iTunes, only to find that all of my apps and songs have been deleted. When I plug in my iPod, it says that this iPod is registered with another computer. My computer, however, is recognizing my iPod as a digital camera, with the name of my father's iPod. I have no idea how to fix this and get all of my songs/apps back. Someone please help!

    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...

  • IPOD Not Recognized By Windows XP - The Solution!!!

    Hi folks,
    I came across the solution to this problem over on the Microsoft website and it instantly cured my problems. Here are the steps:
    The solution is to make sure you stop the usb device prior to unplug. not just ejecting from itunes but stopping the usb itself.
    How to fix
    - Turn off computer.
    - Plug ipod into usb
    - Then you must reset your ipod... don't worry it won't wipe anything out.To reset move the hold button ( on top of the ipod) once to hold then back to original position. Then press and hold the center button and the top menu button at the same time for 6 seconds.
    - Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
    - Your ipod will say do not unplug so don't.
    - Then open itunes and it will be there and you are good to go.
    Just remeber to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
    Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it. stop it and select " apple ipod"
    enjoy!!!

    In case it helps point to the solution, here are the steps I am taking and what I am seeing:
    1. Disconnect iPOD, toggle the hold button on/off and manually reset the device.
    2. Delete "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
    3. Uninstall iPOD and iTunes software.
    4. Reboot computer
    5. Install iPOD and iTUNES software
    6. Open iTUNES
    7. Run iPOD software - connect the iPOD when instructed to do so.
    Windows finds unknown USB device - installs the driver and announces successful installation and hardware ready for use. :-)))
    5-6 seconds later Windows announces USB device not recognized, that a device malfunction has occurred and am advised and Windows is unable to recognize it. :-(((
    To Note: a. Assigning usbstore.inf as the driver for the the iPOD doesn't "take". The assignment ends without error message but going back and checking indicates no driver assigned to the device.
    b. USB mouse, keyboard and flash drive all work and are recognized by the system. I have not been using the flash drive with the ipod to avoid complications.
    c. I managed (once) to connect it with the iPOD software, have it recognized in iTunes and transferred music to the device. Unable to reconnect ever since.

  • Why do I use my ipod as a camera when I lose precious photos even when I try to back up before an update! Selling my ipod at the first chance I get

    Why do I use my Ipod tiuch as a camera when lose precious photos of my granddaughter every time there is an operating system update? Even when I try to back up the ipod, I can't find the pics etc on my pc. It is very annoying and I am seriously considering selling my ipod because of this. No warning is given that photos will be lost. So very disappointed in aple, lost all my music last time, as well as my pics.

    Yes, using the windows photo capture application is how you get photos taken with the iPod onto your pc. You should store them there, and organize them in folders.
    Create one main photo folder. Inside that folder create additional folders to hold photos. Each folder will become an album on an iPod, iPad, or iPhone. Do not next any other folders inside the first album folder.
    Then start iTunes on your pc and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in itunes and select the Photos tab that will be ps enter. You will most likely have first find your main photos folder. Ten select to sync all photos from your pc or select only those albums you want to have on your iPod. The click on Apply or Sync. That will copy the photos to your iPod.
    If you should do something later to cause these albums to disappear from your iPod you can quickly copy them back by doing another sync.

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

  • When I look at my Ipod on Itunes on my laptop it is showing that I have a large amount of storage space taken up with Apps. (more than my music). In fact I only have the Apps which came with the ipod touch! How do I get my storage back?

    I have an ipod touch 64GB.  I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps.  I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to.  I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
