  • Itunes recognizes my ipod touch, but my computer still thinks it's a camera (and the drive only has pictures as a result; no music).

    I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and wanted to transfer my music from my old laptop onto it. Itunes on my new laptop would only let me transfer purchases, and not music that I got from CDs. So, seeing as I didn't have any sort of storage device handy to back up my old itunes library onto, I decided to just transfer my music straight from my ipod touch to my new laptop. I had done this many times before both for myself and for friends, so I was familiar with the process. What you do is you make sure that hidden files can be viewed, and you select "manually manage music..etc" in itunes so your device shows up as its own drive in My Computer. Then you click on that and you should find your music folders. Unfortunately, because my computer recognizes my iPod touch as a digital camera, the folders only had my pictures, and none of my music. I tried to update the driver and change it to usbaapl, the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. However, my device manager keeps saying: "The best driver software is already installed" or something like that. The driver Windows automatically installs is MTP USB device. I've tried uninstalling it but as soon as I plug my ipod back in it just re-installs the wrong driver again. So, is there any fix to this problem or will I just have to go invest in a flash drive to transfer my music?

    Startng wth the iPhone and iPod Touch,  Apple stopped supportng "disc mode" (and that's why your iPod Touch isn't "Aplle format" or "Windows format").  You access the musc, apps, calendars, etc. through iTunes, and you access the photos through the camera interface.
    Windows is not "installing the wrong driver" you are just assuming that the device operates in a way that the newer devices no longer support.  There are some 3rd party aps that will allow you to sync music from your iPod to your PC, but I have never used them so I can't tell you how well they work.  I do seem to recall that XPlay2 was one of the names that supposedly supported doing that though...

  • ITunes recognizes my iPod Classis but unable to sync

    iTunes lets me eject by using the little iPod icon in the top right. iTunes will not let me restore or access iPod inside iTunes. A few days ago iTunes recognized my iPod, but would only let me restore it back to a blank slate. I did that and I was able to sync everything from my library. The next day I go back and it shows my iPod as being plugged in, but will not let me sync, restore, or do anything to my iPod. I've read through all the support docs online, my iTunes is up to date, drivers are up to date, no idea what the issue is now.

  • ITunes recognizes my iPhone 4s but it doesn't charge it. It doesn't even charges connected to its power adapter.

    I can transfer music photos EVERYTHING like it DOES works perfectly :/ but it doesn't charge... my charging port has been replaced two times already... I don't know what else to do can please someone help?  It's an iPhone 4s 32gb.

    They probably are.. but are the computer and the iPhone 4S connected to the same wifi network?

  • TS3572 itunes recognizes my ipod shuffle but it wont charge

    Whenever i plug my ipod shuffle into itunes it gets recognized, but for some reason it never charges. i did all the steps to reset it and it still doesnt work

    You'll need to provide more info...  When you connect it, the shuffle's light comes on briefly, but then goes out?  Does the shuffle appear in iTunes?
    Is your computer a Mac or Windows PC?  If Windows, what release of Windows are you using?  If Mac, what's the Mac model?
    the led indicator light wont stay on as before
    When you say "as before," I assume that means this shuffle worked properly before at some point.  Was that with a different computer, or this same computer?  If same computer, anything major that was different before when it worked properly?

  • ITunes is not recognizing my iPod so I cannot sync my music, but I can use home sharing and it will work... How do I make iTunes recognize my iPod touch?

    I've had my iPod touch for over a year now, and I haven't used it or iTunes in a while. I updated iOS on my iPod and updated to the newest version of iTunes earlier. Now that I have put some new music in my music library (not from iTunes), iTunes will not recognize my iPod, but if I turn on Home Sharing, it will sync to my iPod... Which would be fine, but I have to have Wi-Fi all the time for that to work, and sometimes I don't have Wi-Fi when I leave my house. So how do I make iTune recognize my iPod?

  • Itunes sees my ipod touch but not my ipod classic; windows 8 sees each of them

    I had an ipod classic 80Gb (older device - 4th gen?) as my daily device, a 16gb touch (newer one - 4th I think) as a backup when my ancient PC crashed and died, had to get a new one.  This happened 1st of Sept.  New PC has windows 8, and I downloaded latest itunes onto it.  This latest itunes recognizes my ipod touch, even synced my new library with it (yes, I had to completely redo my playlists etc after the crash as itunes would not recognize the old library I had had on the ipod).  But plugging my (older ?) ipod classic into the same usb port, itunes does NOT even recognize that there is an ipod.  Here is what happens :
    An olive green windowlet comes up (from itunes ?), beeps at me, tells me "there is a problem with this drive please scan the drive now and fix it".  I assume it means the drive with the ipod in it because the beep happens right after I plug in the usb cable.   I can see this usb port on windows file system, it says "ipod", and can, after some waiting, see the directories... iPod_Control > Music > Fxx  etc., under which there appear to be songs ... mp3 and m4a and wav files, but their names are abbreviated with 4 caps, eg. IXOK.mpe, IPDT.mp3 ... but the little earphone symbol shows beside so possibly I could even play one were I to double click it (default player might come up etc.)... have not tried this yet.  The default player mentioned would be itunes, but here is a problem :  the whole time that my unrecognized-by-itunes ipod is plugged into the usb, itunes is completely hung up... can't even move the window across the screen.  Once I pull the thing out of the usb, itunes is fine again.
    This ipod that is not recognized has also been behaving as if it needs a new battery ... does not hold a charge more than a couple of hours... this has been the case since shortly before the new computer, however during the time that there is a charge it does play songs, ff, etc just like always.  So I am not sure if this has anything to do with somebody's (itunes' ?) perception that "there is a problem with this drive..."...

    I ended up Erase and Syncing again just like I was moving to a new iTunes library. The relationship between my iPod Touch and iTunes got messed up. Everything else was fine. Once I did that everything backed up and re-synced fine.
    So glad I didn't have to restore. The weird thing that happened was I canceled out from the Erase and Sync both times and iTunes still attempted to do it anyway. Once I let it, it worked fine.

  • My computer recognizes my iPod nano but not my iPod shuffle

    I don't know how to get my computer and iTunes to recognize my iPod shuffle, but I already have a nano that works perfectly with my computer.

    If you're connecting them both at the same time -- don't. Unplug the Nano dock, and plug the Shuffle into the same USB port -- preferably through a USB extension cable (to preclude any physical connection problems with the Shuffle). Unless there's something wrong with your Shuffle it should appear in the iTunes Source List, just like your Nano.

  • What if a person no longer has access to the house in which the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What if a person no longer has access to the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What pops up is the page that tells me I can use my camera to take a photo - since I don't have access to the card, useless.  I am caught going round in this loop - there's that one button, no other option.  Thanks in advance.

  • On my ipod touch i bought some music but when i go to download it on my pc it just comes up as downloaded and doesn't let me do anything with it

    On my ipod touch i bought some music but when i go to download it on my pc it just comes up as downloaded and doesn't let me do anything with it.As in it w'ont let me download it or anything like that.

    Make sure you have signed-in your iTunes and authorized the computer.
    Go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEVICES tab and check the Box "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically then OK.
    As long as you don't sync your devices, iTunes will not wipe out music from your iPod.  Now connect your iPod and do the Purchase transfer only.
