Ipod touch shows as a camera and doesn't show in itunes

I installed a update to iTunes. When I attached my ipod Touch with the usb cord it recognized it as a camera and installed the drivers. iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. I went through all the steps in the Apple directions.

This is a common problem even on a Mac. Especially if you have photos in your photo album. Happens on my Mac all the time.
Quit any photo application that might start on your computer and dismiss any dialog boxes then start iTunes.
To prevent the photo program from running in the future run Image Capture on the Mac. In the preferences select to have Nothing start up when a camera is attached.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod touch won't turn on - and doesn't successfully restore

Hi,
This is really a last resort, because I feel I've tried everything at MY disposal to fix my issue.
Problem:
I have an iPod Touch - 1st Generation, with all updated firmware and updated iTunes to go with it. It simply won't turn on. When plugged in to my computer via USB, it displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and I follow the steps to restore it. It fails during restore though. Here's what happens:
1. The screen shuts off and changes to the Apple loading screen
2. iTunes starts "Preparing iPod for restore"
3. The iPod screen shuts off, nothing being shown
4. iTunes stays on "Preparing iPod for restore" for a minute or so
5. I then get an error saying "Unable to restore iPod - Error 1603"
And yes, I have tried recovering my iPod, going into DFU mode, and also going to the help page for Error 1603 and following instructions. The only thought is that the battery is dead, because nothing else pops up.
I've have the iPod for just under 3 years, and it has worked for the whole time up until a few months ago - the battery was not lasting as long as usual.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Try a new battery.

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.

You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
There is not other way

Ipod touch 2G is black screen and won't restore in Itunes (error 21)

I have aquired an Ipod touch 2g 16g that I was hoping to make a present to my daughter with. The device is I guess what is called "Black Screen of Death". I can't get any image to display on the Ipod when trying to charge (which it apparenlty accepts) the item or when trying to connect it to Itunes. Itunes recongizes the item in recovery mode, and attempts to restore the item and consistantly gives the error 21 message. I am using Windows 7 and have tried to restore the device on a laptop running Win XP with the exact same results. The screen will turn white during the process, and the machine will from what I have read and believe go into DFU mode, but it stops with error 21. I am a Noob and have googled and googled for a week now with no luck. I have tried the reinstallation of Itunes, all the updates to both Itunes and the machine, no security software, the works. I tried connecting it to older son's laptop running Win 7 which he uses for his Ipod 2g 32 gig without problems. My device was recognized on his machine, and he said on his Itunes he briefly saw songs on the device he did not have on his machine/device in his library before it hung again in the recovery mode loop. I have read different articles and tutorials on jailbreaking and tried loading just the 'oem" firmware from apple with Redsnow and thought i was successful. The device went through the process of white screen, several boots/dings of on my PC, and then an image appeared on the Ipod of "loading Jailbreak data". After a few moments/minutes it then began what I believe is displaying the "verbose" booting running the lines of text on the screen. I then notice it to stop and give me an error of something to the affect of init failed, and then a "lan error, watchdog timeout, giving up, a long pause, then quick scrolls down the screen and reboot back to white screen. Holding the power button or home/power button puts it right back to a black screen and in the Itunes recovery mode loop/error 21 again. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue before I pull what's left of my hair out. I would love to get this working for my daughter before her birthday. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Common, no one has any ideas? Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process. I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed. Someone has got to know something. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea. Thanks

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just don't get it. I got the iPod from a friend which didn't use it at all. If I connect my iPad or iPad mini to my mac, they all get connected well and iTunes sees them too. iPod touch not for some reason
The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...
please help!

Could get me some help?

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
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.
