Ipod touch does not come up on itunes. The computer recognizes it as a camera, which it isn't.

ipod touch is not recongnized by my computer anymore. It reads the device as a camera, which it is not. I have done everything except wipe the ipod clean. Fearful if I do, I will not fix problem. Wonder if it is a registery key issue.

talks about an iPad not being recognized, but'll be the same for iPod Touch:

  • Ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

    ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

    You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

  • I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?

    I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • The latest ipod touch does not come with a wall charger nor USB cord?

    Is this correct?  I checked the website but it's not clear.  Several reviews state it doesn't but I find this odd that it wouldn't - can anyone clarify?
    Thanks.

    It is very clear:

  • Ipod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does in iPhoto

    My iPod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does show up under iPhoto.  Can anyone help troubleshoot this problem?
    Thank you for your help.

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device.  Follow the steps  in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a  known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate  this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0)  can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611.    To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

  • HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

    My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
