Laptop recognises ipod touch as ipod camera?? Help!
When I connect my new touch my computer recognises it as an ipod camera and wants me to select a program to run it? can anyone suggest how I get it to recognise it as an ipod in itunes? -The computer immediatly recognises my and my sons ipod nano's??
Thanks Fern
that solved my computer recognising the touch as a camera- However now I have a bigger problem,My itunes wont recognise this touch ipod at all, when I try to down load itunes 7.5 I get an error message that C:Documents and Settings\marcelle\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\K7RZ2KXX\iTunes Setup[1].exe is not a valid Win 32 application!!
I have been on to the site you sent the link to and found directions for a Win 32 error and have tried everything- still the same message- I have searched my whole computer and it tells me that thre is no file of that name- dont know what to do now- have spent entire day trying to sort this- the last resort was to use window install clean up to remove program which I did and still couldnt down load -same message - I am at a loss and quite frazzled by the whole debarcle!

The memory on my Phone is really bad so i cant store much. The pictures i am trying to import are really important and i cant lose them. My phone has been playing up a lot and im afraid of losing the pictures so tried to import them onto my laptop. Its a windows 8 and every time i connect my iphone a window automatically opens titled "Apple iphone" but underneath it says "no files or folders". How can i resolve this?
Also the apple store have told me not updating may be causing problems but i cant update due to no space. i have 3 apps, around 300 photos/videos and no music. it is 16gb so i dont know why im having this problemThis is how you import photos/videos:

HT1476 Help!!! Please!!! iPod touch 8gb w/camera (older model) won't charge :(
Have an older model iPod touch 8gb w/camera that will not charge. I know it's not the cord or the device we are using to charge it because ithas been working to charge it before and it charges all our other ipod devices.
An example of what it does.The battery will show that it needs to be charged in the upper right corner, it'll be red. So we will plug the iPod in to charge. Even if it's plugged in all night long, it doesn't charge. The green battery icon that used to be on the screen when it was plugged in, no longer shows up. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner doesn't change from red and doesn't show it's plugged in. I have tried to holdoing down the power and home button to reset the device. I'm not sure what else to try. Are there places to take your iPod for repair or should I contact apple? HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Took fotos with iPod touch, now laptop thinks iPod is a camera and won't sync with iTunes
I have been loading vinyls onto iTunes using EZ Vinyl Tape converter. I have sync'd OK until recently when problems encountered with EZ. However there are some tunes on laptop to sync. After using the iPod touch as a camera I now cannot sync. The laptop thinks the iPod is a camera and does not initiate iTunes, instead the laptop gets a totally blank screen and I cannot do anything, not even switch it off. I have scanned laptop for bugs, viruses etc using norton. I am totally stuck now.

IPod touch recognized as camera
I have an iPod Touch 2gen and I had to reformat my laptop. It is using Windows Vista (ugh, I know). I want to pass the files (apps and music) from the iPod to the computer (The iPod Touch has the latest iOS it can have and I just downloaded iTune so it's also the latest one as well) and I can't because the computer is recognizing the iPod as a digital Camera. I've tried disabeling the action in the Control Panel by choosing "Take No Action" in the Auto Play thing. I've also tried to do it through the Computer Manager on My Computer and nothing. Anyone else has any other way I can fix this? Or maybe another way I can transfer my files from the iPod to the computer?
Thanks in Advance!Here is a website that I found that was very helpful!

Hello everyone,my names Charlotte and I was wondering if someone could help me with my iPod not syncing to my iTunes properly.
Okay well basically,a while ago my laptop caught a virus and in the end I ended up having to reboot the whole thing.
(My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate)
However,because of this,it meant I had to download iTunes again, and so I did.
(I have the latest iTunes and iPod Touch version downloaded)
Then I found a way how to sync all my music from my iPod touch (not the 4th gen) to my laptop, so I did and put all my music and more (from albums I haven't downloaded yet e.t.c) onto my newly downloaded iTunes.
But anyway,back to the original topic. Because of downloading iTunes again and rebooting my laptop, my iPod Touch wont sync to my new iTunes and I don't know what I can do to fix this?
Another thing I did notice was on the 'Devices' option on the sidebar, it now says 'iPod Touch', instead of 'Charlotte's iPod'.
I'm really stuck on what to do because when my iPod does sync to my iTunes it says 'Syncing iPod Touch (Step 1 of 1)', when usually it should be of 4 steps, like backing up data and transferring purchases e.t.c.
Then it just finishes sync..
One thing I did do was de-authorize it and re-authorize it again as I found online that it worked for some people,.... for me it didn't. To be honest I didn't expect it to work as I thought it was just for anyone trying to hack/take away your music...but it was worth a shot anyway.
But please help!
I really want to put more songs onto my iPod
Many Thanks for reading this,
~CharlotteUpdate: I deleted all my songs in itunes and then put them back on, and then proceded to sync my ipod again which worked! the songs are being put on

PC thinks my iPod Touch is a camera
Whenever I plug my iPod Touch into its USB port, the PC (which is running WindowsXP) gives me a window with 3 choices. I can either "launch" 1) the ABBYY FineReader (which looks like scanning software), 2) the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, or 3) Picassa 3. I suppose there is a 4th choice which is to do nothing and that's what I usually do.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5, which might've been a mistake. I don't recall whether my iPod showed up under DEVICES with the previous version, but I don't think I ever had any trouble finding it. Now, DEVICES doesn't even show up on the left-hand column in iTunes. I followed some instructions that were suggested for a question similar to mine. The result was that iTunes wanted to "Restore" my iPod, i.e. restore it to its factory settings and (I presume) wipe out any apps or content I already managed to put on it. It didn't show the "name" of my iPod or any other information about it, like I remember seeing on a similar screen on my PC before (most likely in the previous version of iTunes).
If I look under My Computer in Windows, the iPod is visible and even shows the "name" we gave it the way iTunes used to. The trouble is that My Computer recognizes it as a "Digital camera." If I double-click on it, I see the two pictures I've transfered from the PC to the iPod but nothing else. If I try dragging an mp3 file into that window, nothing happens.
So I suppose I have 2 questions:
1) How do I get my PC to recognize my iPod Touch as an iPod instead of a camera?
and
2) How do I get DEVICES to show up in iTunes without wiping out the existing Apps and downloaded content?
What I would really like to do is move some music and some podcasts from my PC to the iPod Touch, but right now all I can move are pictures. That is why this question has the title is does and I'm hoping answers to the above questions will allow me transfer mp3 files, which is my ultimate goal.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!I went to the link you posted and followed all the steps. I was thrilled to see that it worked! I don't recall whether my PC still recognized my iPod Touch as a camera or not, but DEVICES did show up in iTunes and it recognized the name of my iPod Touch.
Now, though, everything is back the way it was. The PC tells me I have a camera connected via USB and iTunes doesn't even have DEVICES listed in the left-hand column.
I'm wondering if this is the problem: I had the iPod on until the battery was so "low" that it stopped. I didn't press and hold the button on top. In fact, until I read the article you linked to, I didn't even know you could turn the iPod on and off that way. I would only press it once until the screen turned blank and simply pressed the Home buttom to turn it back on. Until I read that article, I thought the Home button was the On button.
So now my question is this: Should I ALWAYS turn the iPod off by pressing and holding the button on top until I see the red slider on the screen?
Thanks! -

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.
Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine. I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
However, it other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider did the previous screen replacement , Apple will not help.
For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried. -

Why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini,
why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini, why... ...
Mr. jobs would hv helped me
it it just so simple ...these people are working on icloud, photostream etc etc
think .....if we have a wireless link with the camera of iphone we can record movies and carry out editing at the same moment on desktops that too wirlesssly
its just like have a one way facetime with our desktops......wow
eventually apple people will come up with this same idea later some time
but the question is why it doesnt connect why?They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it? -
