My computer is failing to recognize my Itouch.

When I plug it in, says "charging is not supported with this accessory." And it seems to only recognize the camra because a box thats says "Apple Ipod" opens and inside has "Camra connected" and links for me to open "microsoft" and "Photoshop." I have already restarted my Ipod, restarted my computer, shut off my Ipod then plugged it in. checked both of my usb jacks... I dont know what to do? What do I do? I need to update my Ipod!!

Ensure that the ADMS is running:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
If that doe not work try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
There are also other articles depending upon if the iPod shows in My computer and what the device manager contains.

Apps won't sync from iTouch to computer. iTunes recognizes the iTouch and the app content, but the content is grayed out on the computer screen and won't allow me to sync. My iTouch is version 4.2.1 with 6.8GB capacity.

I am on vacation and away from my home computer. I installed iTunes on a computer I'm using at my son's house to enable
me to sync my iTouch, since it has become unstable when I am playing games and continually closes and reverts to the home
screen.
My son's computer recognizes my iTouch and my apps appear on the screen but they are all grayed out and will not allow me
to sync. Can anyone help me please?

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to add content to it from another computer it will erase the contents of your iPod and replacement it with the contents of the new library.
In regards to the unstableness, have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

How can I get my laptop to recognize my iTouch as an iPod and not a camera?

I am using a newly bought Inspiron N5110 from Dell that runs on Windows 7. I want to tranfer my music from my iPod to this compter but can't do this. When plugged in, the computer recognizes the iTouch as a camera and not an iPod. It is recognized under my devices on my iTunes but when I look through my "Devices and Printers", it is clearly seen as a camera. I cannot access the music on my device--only the photos.
When I try updating the device driver as many sites have suggested, my computer says the device's driver is up to date and I cannot change it.
I have tried, several times, to uninstall and reinstall the driver but nothing works. Can anyone suggest something to fix this?

W500 w/ Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate fails to recognize some audio CDs

My DVD/CD drive (a HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-U20N) in my Lenovo W500 laptop (running Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate) fails to recognize some audio CDs.
It recognizes most audio CDs, but a few are not recognized by Windows 7 itself, or by any other program on my computer.
These CDs are recognized by other Windows 7 computers.
I don't think that it's a copy protection issue, since the CDs don't mention any copy protection scheme (and also since they work on other Windows 7 machines).
One CD that wasn't recognized by my machine was the second CD from a two CD set (the first CD was correctly recognized).
I have the latest updates for Windows, and all my programs, drivers, BIOS & firmware.
Thanks.

What kind of behavior are you getting from the drive? If it's spinning up, down, and up again your lens might be dirty or the drive could be failing.
If you do clean the lens, be careful. Do your research first or you might make it worse.
Edit: Replacements are:
42T2511 or 42T2541 (DVD)
42T2543 or 42T2513 (DVD/CD-RW combo)
42T2545, 42T2515 or 42T2551 (DVD-RAM/RW)
You can get the 42T2543 for $23 and the 42T2545 for $45 on eBay.

How can I get iTunes to recognize my iTouch? And I can't force restore, error 1611. Help?

My iTunes does not recognize my iTouch and I want to restore it to factory settings. I am not able to restore due to an error 1611. What does this mean and how can I get my iTouch to work again, currently it won't even start to charge.

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

Computer at work, wont recognize Iphone.

Hello, I have 1.9Ghz Power PC G5 at work with the latest Itunes and all available updates as of 9/16/09. (OS = 10.4.11).
My iphone 3gs works fine otherwise but when I try to plug it in via USB/Synch cable at work, the computer just doesn't recognize. It used to work until recently. I tried restarting the computer with the iphone plugged in and there was a quick vibrate/recognition when it first turned on but then back to the unrecognizable status. I'm not trying to synch, just trying to charge the phone. It used to work and sometimes when I disconnect the usb I get the device removal warning (which leads me to believe there is some recognition.
Any ideas...I've tried the cable on another mac in my office and I know its working.

Try reinstalling iTunes (don't delete the current one, just download and reinstall, even if it's the same version. If that fails, remove and reinstall AMDS:

Scandisk or defrag fail to recognize hd volume

hello all, and happy holidays.
i've had this issue b4 but didnt pay too much attention to it, but now it has happened again so i am a bit bothered.
i have seagate 7200.7 120GB sata drive with ncq hooked to the nvidia sata controller #2.
The drive has 8 volumes (c-j), c,d,e,g,h are ntfs, the others fat32.
Sometime when my computer hangs and i've to reset it, scandisk fails to recognize some volumes (totally random this time f,i, always fat32) as valid win xp volumes.
I can still open these volumes and read and write to them, but cant run defrag (i use disk keeper pro) on them, or for that matter anyother hdd tools like windows scandisk etc.
Now when ever i reboot, scandisk kicks in complaining that it cant scan non-xp drives.
My options include turning off scandisk, reformatting (loads of data on them, really not a good option), find out whats causing it!!
So anyone here help me work on option three
Rest of the system is in the signature.
thanks.

Hello again tcdm1972,
This quote from a MicroMat technician is misleading and makes me wonder about abusingly promoting defragmentation (and using their products) as so necessary.
Yes, in certain rare cases one might benefit from defragmenting HD and HD free space, but in Mac OS X it is not so black and white question.
- In the more general usage of Mac OS X, defragmentation is actually counter-productive and defeats the very clever way Mac OS X has to rewrite every file on-the-fly onto the best possible location at this very moment, each time an application uses it.
Best location on the hard drive varies, depending on many more criteria than the simple contiguity.
About the term "optimization" in Apple software installs:
I find it misleading too, as all it optimizes is the launching of applications in Mac OS X
(it's the "update_prebinding" command really, nothing to do with defragmentation).
About OnyX, Yasu etc:
These too are small utilities to run quite harmless Terminal commands. They don't play in the same fields, nothing neither to do with defragmentation.
DiskWarrior too has yet another approach: Directory handling.
So, your original question about using iDefrag:
On their website they state
"To defragment your boot volume, you need to boot from a different volume"
as I said.
In your case, the solution is clear:
since you have two boot partitions on your HD,
- boot from Partition 1 to defrag Partition 2,
and
- boot from Partition 2 to defrag Partition 1.
That is, a copy of iDefrag installed on each of your Mac OS X volumes.

Win 8.1 OS fails to recognize OJ Pro 8625 is installed

Had previously installed an OJ Pro 8600, and uninstalled it before purchasing and installing an OJ Pro 8625. Win 8.1 fails to recognize that the 8600 is no longer installed (printer & fax icon are still visible on the Printer Control Panel page).
Is there a scrubber to remove the 8600? I suspect vestiges of the 8600 are preventing the 8625 from being fully installed/recognized by Win 8.l.
Please advise a fix.
Thank you

Hey @chabela1944 ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
I understand you are looking to uninstall your 8600 entirely and then install your 8625. Just so you know computers are capable of have several printers installed on them at a time so having the 8600 installed on the computer wouldn't stop the 8625 from being installed.
Follow these documents I have linked you to below to do what you are asking about. You may need to click the
To uninstall the 8600: >> Uninstalling the Printer Software
Installing the 8625: >> Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless or Wired Network for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 86...
Let me know how it goes! Have a great day!

Elements 9 fails to recognize my printer?

Elements 9: Printing. I can print from elements and then for some unknow reason, it will tell me it can't find a printer and I must install a printer. This is after I have sucessfully printed. When it tells me that I must install a printer, the program freezes completely. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Please assist.

I think I should have answered your question more fully:
When I click Print, it goes to the default printer which is the hp
laserjet, however it also lists several others, here's the order:
microsolf XPS Doc.Writer
Photosmart Pro 9180
hp laserjet
Fax
All are "greyed out" except the Photosmart Pro 9180 which is also linked to
this computer.

HT6437 iTunes fails to recognize iPhone

I am attempting to backup/restore my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2, to my new iPhone 6 Plus running iOS8.1.2.
Unfortunately, iTunes 12 fails to recognize my iPhone device. Therefore, it's impossible to Backup or Synch.
Any ideas to correct this? Do I have to update my ancient iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 first? I tried different USB cables, no luck. I tried stop/re-start iTunes.

Hello there, dpharbison.
When transferring content from an older iOS device to a new one using iTunes, the following Knowledge Base article offers the steps on how to accomplish that:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
Use iTunes
If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.
Get ready
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer and the latest version of iOS on your original device.
You can't install a backup of a newer version of iOS onto devices that are using earlier versions of iOS. If your backup came from a device that has a newer version of iOS installed, update your new device before you transfer your data. For help, see Unable to restore from a backup of a newer iOS device.
Back up and transfer
First, back up your old device using iTunes. You can also encrypt the backup so that it remembers the passwords for your email, Wi-Fi, and more when you transfer to the new device. Otherwise, you can re-enter these passwords on the new device.
Then transfer your data from your device to your computer.
Remove your SIM card
If your device has a SIM card, use the SIM-extractor tool or a paper clip to remove the SIM from your old device and insert it into your new device. Or if your carrier gave you a new SIM card, use that instead.
Set up the new device
When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
Your language and country
Whether to enable Location Services
A Wi-Fi network
If you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, you can also activate by tapping Connect to iTunes.
Restore the backup
When prompted to set up your device, select Restore from iTunes Backup.
Connect to iTunes
Connect your new device to iTunes, using the same computer you used to back up your current device. iTunes will ask you to restore from backup or set up as new. Select the backup of your old device and choose Continue.
If the progress bar in iTunes pauses for a while, wait until the restore finishes.
Sync other content
When the restore finishes, your device restarts, and then it's ready for you to use.
Keep your device connected to iTunes to sync content that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, and apps). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
Enter your passwords
If you restored from an unencrypted backup, you'll need to enter the password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.
If your device continues to not be recognized, these article provide further troubleshooting depending on the operating system your computer is running:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

The speaker fails working of my Itouch, the speaker fails working of my Itouch

the speaker fails working of my Itouch, how can i fix it?

Have you tried:
- Resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring your iPod via iTunes on your computer. First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

My computer is failing to recognize my Itouch.
