Itouch3g showing up as a camera???

A few days ago, I wirelessly updated my itouch 3g to software v5.0. Later, when I connected via USB to my computer, itunes came up and asked if I wanted to update itunes. I accepted and it updated to v10.5.1.42 with no problem. Ever since then when I connect my itouch via USB I get a window indicating I've connected a camera and asking what program to run. Itunes is not in the list. There is no camera on my itouch. What do I do to get this back on track? After the camera window appears, itunes runs and continues to perform the sync with no problem. In fact, Itunes does not appear to have any problems running. I can cancel the "camera" window with no problems but I'd like to fix this and make it go away.
Any suggestions?

  • I have an Ipod Touch, and i want to sync music from iTunes, but i cant, as my Ipod is showing up as a camera, how do i make change it back to an Ipod, so i can sync music??

    I recently started using my Ipod touch again, and i bought music to go on there.
    I tired syncing it, but Itunes kept freezinfg because it needed to be updated to 10.6. After i updated it, my Ipod was not showing up. I figured out that it was showing up as a camera on my laptop.

  • I am trying to use my iphone as a storage device to move my music to another computer but it shows up as a camera instead of storage device on my computer.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to use my iphone as a storage device to move my music library to a new computer.  My phone is showing up as a camera instead of as a storage device on my old computer so I can not move my music file to it.  Any ideas as to how I prevent this as showing up as a camera/scanner when I connect to my computer?

    It's supposed to show up as a camera because it is a camera.  Additionally, you won't be able to sync your music from your iphone back to iTunes... media sync is one way... iTunes to the iPhone.
    Google TouchCopy to copy the media from your iPhone to your computer.

  • I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me. They show up in the camera roll and then I put them in separate albums. My camera roll when I try to open it freezes and the thumbprints are a jumbled and blurred. This is on my ipad.

    I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me on my ipad. They show up in the camera roll, but when I open the camera roll the thumbprints are jumbled and blurred and frozen. I can't get out of there unless I shut my ipad down and restart it. I can use other parts of my ipad ,but my camera roll remains frozen....help!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Why does my ipod touch show up as a camera?

    Hello. I upgraded to windows 7 about three weeks ago and I didn't have a single problem with my ipod touch. Yesterday a friend of mine signed into his account on my itunes to download some music. Today, I plugged my ipod touch into my laptop and it shows up as a camera and would not show up in itunes. I have searched forums the web over and I have done the following: Uninstall/IInstall itunes. Restart my computer. Reset the ipod. Restart the ipod. Restart the computer and reset the ipod. I uninstalled all apple software from itunes, to the updater, bonjure, and quicktime. Restarted the computer. I have went into and changed the settings for the device so it is supposed to ask me what it will show up when the autoplay pops up. NOTHING is working. I use my ipod all day and everywhere I go. If any one at all can help with a solution that doesn't involve simple uninstall/reinstall/restart, I would appreciate the help. I don't understand why this happended. I signed back into my itunes account as well after reinstalling everything. I am at a total loss. Thank you

    It is normal and expected for an iPod to show up as a camera as well as in iTunes.  Try here:

  • IPod Touch not showing up as a camera or removable disc, can't get photos

    My iPod Touch 4 is not showing up as a camera device or as a removable disk drive so I cannot pull photos and videos from Camera Roll. I prefer this over email because I don't want compressed versions. The driver in device manager indicates it's up to date. iTunes is able to sync this iPod just fine and if I try this iPod on a different Windows 7 computer it shows up properly. I believe this was working at one point though not 100% sure. Ideas?

    Thank you. The hint in this troubleshooting guide to restart the Apple Mobile Device service was a good one. That didn't actually work but it reminded me to try rebooting. Who would have thought that a 20+ year Windows user wouldn't try that first but honestly Windows 7 is so much more stable than any older version that I'm completely broken of that habit and it didn't even occur to me.

  • IPod Touch (2nd Generation) is showing up as a camera in my 64bit Windows 7 Laptop

    One week ago, I synced my iPod into my computer and added some videos and music to it. This evening, (12-4-12) I downloaded an album and wanted to sync it into my iPod. The iPod would not connect to my laptop, and only show up as a camera. It would not show in iTunes at all. Anything I've looked up so far in Apple Support was without results. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, changed and reinstalled multiple drivers. I've tried using cloud on another computer, but that computer runs iTunes 10. The name of the iPod is CMTV, as opposed to Apple iPod.

    Have you tried:

  • 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.

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • Why aren't photos in iPhoto photo library showing up in iPhoto camera roll?

    Hi,
    I downloaded all the photos on my Camera Roll on my iPhone into my AirBook computer because when I went to take a photo today with my iPhone it told me I had no space left.  But, now there are 300 photos in Photo Library that never showed up in Camera Roll and I can't download into my AirBook.  Those photos are just sitting in Photo Library in my phone.  How do I download them into my AirBook AND why did they not show up in the Camera Roll on my iPhone?
    Thanks!
    Caitlin

    The photos are likely already on your MacBook Air in the iPhoto app there, which I assume you probably have.
    iPhoto on your Mac houses the photo library.
    Photos do not transfer to the Camera Roll on your iPhone (with very few exceptions).  They get transferred from the Camera Roll to your photo library.  You can then clean them off the Camera Roll.
    When you sync the iPhone using iTunes, you can instruct iTunes how to sync your photos.  If, for example, you do not want all the photos in the photo library on your iPhone, that is how to keep them on your computer but not your iPhone.

    How can I copy pictures from my computer to my SX50 so I can show them from the camera?

    I know this is an older thread, but FWIW you should be able to open up My Computer in Windows, locate your memory card there, then either drag and drop and/or copy and paste images from your computer's hard drive onto the memory card.

  • Ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

    ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
