Media files on my iPod touch are categorized as other and I can't use them

I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my cousins computer and all my media files were tranfered to other. They still take up space on the iPod but there not where they are supposed to be. I think something like this happened when I had my iPod video but I fixed it easily by opening the iPod files with mycomputer and finding where they were I could right the wrong....however, my iPod touch does not appear in mycomputer wen I connect it but on my laptop wen I open mycomputer it appears as a camera and I cannot do anything with that. Is this normal....should my iPod appear in mycomputer......and how do I fix the problem with my media files being categorized as other.
P.S. If I add new media files they go where they are supposed to. I could restore my iPod and start over but I don't have backups so I want to get them back in there proper place

I really don't want to do that......is there anything the people at the apple store can do?
Also.....I was was having a problem viewing videos. The videos showed as bright colors i.e hilighter yellow and pink and it was distorted. Even youtube. I restored the settings and it stopped....did this happen to any1 else and is it something I should be worried about although its gone?

4 *.joboptions files from old Reader version are stuck in Trash and I can't delete them

Hello, all. I have a 5 year old Mac, PowerBook G4 which I love and don't want to replace. It runs MAC OS 10.4.11, it's a 867 mHz Power PC dual OS 9. The first Acrobat was 5.0, and when I downloaded an upgrade I just dragged the 5.0 to the trash. Now there are four files that I can't get emptied from the trash. They are eBook.joboptions, Press.joboptions, Print.joboptions and screen.joboptions. They are locked and I can't figure out how to unlock them.
I suspect that the problem is that this version of Acrobat only runs under System 9, but I am afraid to start system 9. Can anyone help me?

Hi Sue,
Take them out of the trash click on there icons go to get info and unlock them, then put them back in the trash and delete.
Regards Bj.

You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?

Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

I have not used my ipod touch for quite some time and now can't get it to sync. I am getting a message that my computer doesn't recognize my device

It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

I have an iPhone and an iPod touch, and whenever i sync my iPhone, all the apps from the iPod Touch are added on it and vice versa. How can I stop this from happening?

Whenever i try and sync my iPhone, I get all the iPod Touch apps on it then have to maually delete them.

I have the same question, but can you clarify something please. I have about 10 apps showing in the apps section of iTunes - all of which I am happy to have on my iphone - but NOT on the Touch.
1. How do I 'delete' the apps wrongly synched to the Touch, and
2. For the future, when I download an app. hor do I ensure it is only synched with the iphone and not the Touch. I have very space left on the Touch and don't want to clutter it with unwanted apps.

Backup ipod touch 4G in a new pc, I can´t use the old pc because was steal.

Hello
My pc was steal and I have a new pc, I need synchronization my ipod touch 4G in the new pc, but I need keep the music, passwords wi fi, contacts music, and my photos, what can I do, which is the process for synchronization data of my ipod in my new pc without lost information.
Thanks
DC

The backup does not include music, synced photos and other sture. Here what you have to do:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discused here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- For synced photos yu need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy. Those are paid program. Photos and fideo taken by or save to the iPod are in the iunes backu
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

I plugged my ipod 5th gen into my pc and it added 15 songs (7 different ones) but they are not downloaded, installed and you can not delete them

Any solutions on how to delete the "ghost songs" ?
P.S I deleted all the songs from itunes and restored from backup but that did nothing

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.
