  • TS1538 iPod touch not recognized by iTunes, Windows only recognizes it as a camera.

    So I've been having trouble with my iPod Touch and iTunes lately. First, the registry settings for the iTunes drivers message kept popping up whenever I opened my iTunes, prompting me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes at least a dozen times. After solving that problem, Windows has been able to recognize my iPod, but only as a camera and not as an iPod, preventing me from updating my music. I've tried different USB cords in different ports, but to no avail. My iPod is recognized on other computers as an iPod. I've followed the Apple resolutions but it still hasn't fixed my problem.

    I've removed and reinstalled it many times and each time I do it, I always get the registry errors and the failure to download the driver, but I resolved those. Here are the diagnostic test results:

  • Need help, Ipod Touch being recognized as a camera on Windows XP

        Whenever I go to do something with my ipod and pull up My Computer, my iPod is always shown as a digital camera. I looked all around for solutions to this and found one that I think is the solution that I need.  It asks you to pull up device manager and update the driver to usbaapl (under system 32 or Mobile Device Support) but when i go to click on the file "usbaapl.inf" it says it cannot find a better driver than the one previously installed.  The file i previously mentioned is only a setup information file, which has me concerned as to the underlying problem, but there are no other choices (the .dll and .sys) listed at all.  I have the latest version of iTunes (just reinstalled it yesterday) and my iPod software is up to date. Someone please help me!!!

    Try everthing here. I would start with remiving and reinstalling all the Apple software using the link in the following.

  • My iPod touch is recognized as a camera on my computer, but it will not show up in iTunes and I can't sync it. Help?

    When I plug my iPod touch in now, it doesn't open in iTunes and nothing happens. If I go to My Computer, I can see that it is recognized but it says it is a digital camera and I can't open it with iTunes at all...

    Im having the exact same problem! I seriously don't want to reinstall Itunes, It will completly muck up my Library!
    Reasons:
    1. About a year ago I decided to change my music too have a much 'cleaner' Ipod, some of my old purchased songs that I have removed are still in my Itunes folder, just not in my Library. I have a feeling these will appear back in my library after reinstalling..
    2. I know artists who officially release their music for free, therefore its legal for me to download their albums free online. These go into my downloads folder which I then drag into my Itunes Library, I have well over 100s of songs/ albums, and these aren't in my Itunes folders (Atleast to what ive seen) So I doubt these will be moved into my library after reinstalling (And it will be a REAL PAIN moving them ALL back in.)
    3. I don't even know for sure if this is even going to work! I may just waste my own time, and like ive said on posts similar to this, I really reckon that Apple needs to fix their side of the problem. Ive seen people sayign they reinstalled, it didnt fix anything, Device is still un-recognized, I went through diagnostics on Itunes, exactly what it comes up with is that it can't recognize my Ipod touch device.
    Please help! I have an un-answered thread, none of Apple support helps at all, and I really needed to sync my Ipod for Christmas, that isn't happening now :/
    We need Solid answers please. Not these try and risk waisting your whole day and not even get half of your favorite songs back.

  • IPod Touch is recognized as a camera by Windows XP

  • My ipod touch shows up as a camera on my pc and wont show up at all on itunes

    my ipod touch shows up as a camera on my pc and wont show up at all on itunes

    Hi
    I was having the same problem for ages. I followed a apple advice section telling me to check the processes for apple mobile device manager, and check for the applusb.sys driver, and they were both there and working. I would advise you to do this. If they are not showing, then the article says to re-install itunes. here is the article by the way. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
    However this did not fix my problem. So I decided to try re-installing the actual driver, instead of the whole of itunes. Try this, as it worked for me
    (I don't no how good with computers you are, so I'll put simple steps, sorry if it seems patronising!)
    1) Go to start, and Run
    2) Type "devmgmt.msc" without speech marks
    3) A screen with your computers name at the top, with seperate sections for things like keyboards and moniters should have come up. At the bottom you should see Universal serial bus (usb). Expand it and look for apple ipod, or somthing similar (there's prob only be one by apple) If it's not there make sure your ipod is plugged in!
    4) Right click and go to properties
    5) Click the 'Driver' tab
    6) You should see 'Roll back changes' as an option. Click that and accept/press yes to the prompts that pop up.
    7) Wait for a few seconds (may take a min or two) until your back to the previous screen described in step 3
    8) Now Under 'portable devices', apple ipod should be listed. Right click that, and choose 'Update driver software' Choose to automatically search.
    9) Again wait, and when it's complete Apple iPod should show under universal seriel bus (usb) section again.
    10) Exit out of device manager, and open up itunes. Your ipod should now be there. You may need to un plug it and plug it in.
    What this effectivly does is re-install the device used to search for iPods by itunes. For some reason, mine and probably yours ran into problems.
    Hope you found this helpful, and I'll check back later if you have any problems or questions.

    The iPod touch has a very rudimentary camera.  It has only a 0.6 MP resolution, no optical zoom, no flash, etc.   There is no app that can improve this as it is limited by the hardware. So it is not a replacement for a digital camera (nor even for an iPhone whose camera has a 5.0 MP resolution.

  • Ipod touch 5g 16 gb with camera???

    Hello,
    I thought I saw last week an ipod touch 5g 16gb with a camera on the back and on the front.
    But I cant find it anymore. Does this really exist?
    Rick

    I never seen or heard of a 16 GB 5G with a backup camera. It only has a front camera. The 32 and 65 GB ones have both front and back cameras.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there an app i can download for a ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen for a flashlight

    is there an app i can download for an ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen

    Since the iPod touch doesn't have an LCDflash like the iPhone any app that would turn on the LCD flash on the iPhone into a "flashlight" wouldn't work with the iPod.
