Ipod touch not showing up in 'computer'

My ipod 4g is not showing up in 'computer' on Windows 7. It shows up in iTunes, but not in computer. I tried updating itunes and ipod, still no luck. I need it for my pictures, and iCloud is too complicated to use easily.
Please help!!

We have 16 pupil iPads at our school supervised by a Mac Air and we can't see the photos on any of them on the Mac, a Windows 7 or an XP machine. The unsupervised machines used by the teachers are fine. Is this a common problem? If so, is there any way around it not involving PhotoStream?

  • Ipod Touch Not Showing as a Device

    I just received a new Ipod Touch and am just playing around with it a bit to see what it can do.
    When I look at Vista Explorer and check the devices attached to my desktop PC, it is not showing the Ipod attached via one of the USB 2 hubs. I know the computer is seeing the Ipod, because as soon as I plug it in, itunes is activated on the desktop. Shouldn't I see the Ipod as a device attached to the PC?
    A second question kind of related to the first. Can I download apps, music, etc., to my PC and then transfer them over to the Ipod, without downloading directly to the Ipod? Reason I'm asking this, is that I'm having a bit of a problem connecting to my password-secured home network. The relation to the first question, is if I can't see the Ipod on the PC can I do such a transfer, or is that all done through itunes.
    Thanks in advance for any help to a newbie.

    the ipod touch doesn't work in quite the same way other ipods do, it doesn't allow you to see it (or use it) as an external drive (like you would with a USB stick or something else you've plugged into your PC)
    the only time the iPod touch will show up in windows explorer is when there are 'Saved Photos' on it. Photos which have been obtained on the iPod touch, either via screenshots (hold the home button and the power button at the same time to get a screenshot), from safari (when browsing the internet, hold your finger on a picture to bring up an option to save it), or from emails. then you will be able to access the ipod in windows explorer in order to access these photos and move them to your PC.
    yes, you can download music etc. to your PC first. this is how it was done before they invented wireless! (and actually the wi-fi itunes store is still fairly basic and limited). just go into the itunes store (there should be a link to it on the left hand side of your itunes screen) and download to your heart's (and bank accounts) content.
    then you just sync them to your ipod, like presumably you have already done with the music you've put into itunes from your CDs.

  • Why wont my ipod touch not show up my compter or itunes?? help, why wont my ipod touch not show up my compter or itunes?? help

    ok my ipod touch wont show up on my compter or others or itunes.. i found a programe call cyida and other stuff that i cant delete. please help ihave tryed eraseing my ipod but it was frozen.. plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!

         Did you buy your iPod Touch from a friend? If so it is very likely that the prior owner had jailbroken the iPod Touch without telling you. Try ensuring that you have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next try to plug in your iPod to your computer by way of usb cord. Then open iTunes and check whether your iPod is recognized. If it isn't recognized try navigating to "My Computer" under start and check whether your iPod appears as a removable device. If your iPod Touch is still not present then try putting your iPod Touch in DFU Mode and attempt to restore it.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
         If all else fails please demand your money back from whoever sold you this iPod Touch.

  • Ipod touch not showing in iTunes

    Anyone help?
    On an imac with 10.6.1 Mac OS and iTunes 9.1.1
    Recently the HDD failed and Apple replaced, but since then ipod touch not recognized in iTunes.
    Have followed all the steps in the support document for resetting, rebooting, reinstalling etc. and ipod touch is recognized the first time after following this process, but then after that when I boot up my mac and iTunes a second time, it stops being recognized again. I cannot reinstall iTunes every time I want to sync my ipod touch!!! Anyone else had similar issues and solved?
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

  • IPod Touch not showing up on an iBook G4

    I am trying to get an iPod Touch connected to my sister in laws iBook G4. It is running system 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.2. When I connect her iPod iPhoto opens and it looks to sync photos. I have to manually open iTunes but it won't see the iPod. I tried her iPod on my Macs and my Macs see it. I am really at a loss and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Rich

  • IPod touch not showing up in 'My Computer?'

    Hello all,
    I want to import some of my pictures from my iPod touch to my Windows Vista laptop (using these directions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), but my iTouch is not showing up in 'My Computer.' It shows up in iTunes, although I am not sure if it is through the wi-fi sync or the USB cord. However, when I open up Device Manager, my iTouch shows up under portable devices with a yellow exclamation mark triangle.
    How should I fix this? Or does anyone else have any other ways to import photos (other than emailing it to yourself and manually downloading each image)?
    Thanks!

    Whew! Now that I have revisited the problem, I realized that my computer had not installed the Mobile Driver Device. After restarting four times and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes twice, I have finally got it to work! Hooray for technology!

  • IPod Touch not showing up even in My Computer

    I have a new iPod touch and when i plug it in it makes the bell noise and in device manager it shows it but it will not show up in iTunes or my computer
    This seems like a common problem now any easy fixes?

    this is normal. it will only show up in My Computer if you have photos in the 'Saved Photos' section on your iPod (i.e. ones you have obtained on the ipod, by email/safari/screenshots). this is because the iPod touch does not work in 'disk mode' like older ipods, and the only reason you can access it in My Compter is so you can get at those Saved Photos in order to copy them to your computer/delete them (you can also delete Saved Photos on your iPod).
