IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!

Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
-Happy New Year

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

    yes, the software is on your Mac but it isnt licenced or owned by you so the digital rights management system Apple employs is blocking the application from being used. Its to stop illegal distribution of downloaded software.
    my only suggestion is to phone Apple and see if they can transfer ownership

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
    Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
    Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
    - Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
    This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
    Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.

  • I recently changed my apple id and I acan not change the apple id on my iphone 4. I am trying to change the settings for user name on the icloud setting on my phone and it will not let me change. Can someone please help me? I appreciate it.

    It only has gray letters when I try to change my apple id iin my icloud user settings. How can I change my apple id to my new email address and password? My old one was hacked.

    Yes, but if you delete the iCloud account and start again, don't you have to wait 90 days for everything to start syncing??  I've been having this problem for months and no one seems to be able to figure it out.  I used to have one Apple ID (which was not an email address) and then when iOS came along....and iCloud, they force you to use your email address as ID ....which actually sets up a SECOND Apple ID.  I have a Mac, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.  the Apple techs tried to delete the iCloud accounts so that they all said the same thing (email address ID) but then I had to wait 90 days.  the 90 days just passed and nothing is automatically syncing yet.  I still think there are 2 accounts but if I delete all again.....it's going to be another 90 days (for security reasons, I was told).  This is a real pain in the butt.

  • The update screen freezes and will not let me use the beta

    Whenever I try and open the Beta, it tries to add my previous firefox extensions into the beta. The screen freezes and when I close it, I cannot open the beta again. I uninstall it and try again and the same thing happens. I tried restarting my computer and nothing happened.

    Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • Time Machine server will not let me use external disks to share over network

    Hi Apple land,
    Im running a lion server from a headless MacBook Pro, its running install and diagnostic netboot images well.
    I have added an eSata card via the expresscard 34 slot.
    drives connected to it work well, nice and fast.
    Now, i can mark the drive for timemachine and it will change the icon and get ready for backup, no worries, for the local system only.
    but going through server.app to make it a timemachine destination for others over the network give me an error:
    "This disk drive may not support Time Machine backup over the network."
    there is a link to this error, but it simply says make sure you dont remove the power to this drive as it could cause backups to fail.
    It still lets me select the drive, shows 'writing time machine settings' but then the big switch flicks itself to OFF
    I have searched and found the exact message posted in 2008 on this site, without resolution
    so i guess i want to know, for lion server to have a drive available for others, does it have to be internal? or is it because its running through an expresscard then eSata thats confusing it?
    would any of the terminal command tricks work (the ones that force compatability)
    I didt want to breaking anything just in case
    thank you in advance.
    Richard

    Richard,
    I am running a headless mac mini with Lion Server.  Same setup as yours, except externals are connected via USB.  I have no problems backing up our macbook pros over newtork via Time Machine.  My current backup drive is an old 500GB WD Book-whatever.  I have also successfully used a 2TB drive in a generic Rosewill JBOD external enclosure.  Both were freshly formated HFS+ (journaled) with GUID map prior to TM use.  Make sure you format journaled using GUID.
    I also get the "This disk drive may not support Time Machine backup over the network." popup but after ignoring it am able to add the disk (don't bother following the information link in the popup...hello 2005!).
    Not much help, but a note to say that it can be done and don't give up.
    Of note...if you are successful and one day you suddenly can't mount the backup volume on your server, fire up the Terminal and disable then reenable journalling on the volume using diskutil.  The Disk Utility app will check the drive/volume and say it they are fine, but the volume won't mount until you play with the journaling.

  • T61p + Vista ultimate = Will not let applicatio​ns access internet. Please help

    Hey all, new here. However, I've owned an R40 IBM Thinkpad before I've upgraded to this T61p for college. I absolutely LOVE this laptop, apart from the issue I am experiencing at hand.
    My system specs, incase it is of concern
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
    4GB RAM
    200GB 7200RPM (encrypted) drive
    Nvidia 570m GPU
    Intel  T9300 2.5 ghz 6mb L2 cache
    here's what I'm going through...
    All sorts of applications that require access to the net are getting hung up, and idicating that they cannot connect to the server's they are pointed to for updates. Examples include, AVG antivirus, Punkbuster (Anti-cheat software that runs in the background of online games...always updating) and these are the only apps I have that require internet access so far.
    I can browse using Firefox and Internet Explorer no problem.
    The punkbuster is especially frustrating because just about ALL games and ALL servers use it, and if punkbuster doesn't update, you get kicked out of the game.
    I am convinced it is Vista as I've never had the sort of problem with XP, and it is two different applications experiencing the problem.
    I am accessing wireless through a router with the necessary ports I need open for this software, and I am running Comodo Firewall in learning mode. However, even if I disable Comodo altogether i get the same symptoms.
    Any help would be much appreciated 

    OK, two things:
    ON your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced > Browser.
    Set that to HOTSPOT and save.
    Now, connected to a WiFi router, open the internet browser on the BlackBerry try going to mobile.blackberry.com
    Does it work?
    Also, Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
    You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the mobile network internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.
