  • CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera

    In FCPX import, CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera, not as a hard drive.  How can I get FCPX to recognize it as a drive?

    This usually is caused by have some folder at the top level of the drive which is named something that could be in a camera.
    Names like DCIM, Private, Video, AVCHD and others.
    Just find the folder with a suspect name, and change the name or store it inside another folder.

  • My new iPhone is only being recognized as a camera, everything apple website suggests does not help!

    I just bought a new iPhone. When i plug it into my computer the only thing that happens is getting pop up saying its found a camera. Apparently this is normal. But iTunes does not open at all, and when I open iTunes, no matter what I do, my iPhone is unable to be recognized.. which, obviously makes me unable to upload any songs at all.. which defeats the purpose of me even having this phone, because that's why i got it.
    I've tried everything apple has suggested. Yes, my cord works. When I plug my regular iPod in, my computer still recognizes that. I have completely uninstalled then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes. Nothing. I've restarted my fully charged Iphone plenty of times. Nothing. I have restarted my computer. Nothing. i love my iphone, but this is VERY frustrating. Please help.

    This worked for me, impious, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I used it for iOS7 and iTunes 11.1

  • Need help, Ipod Touch being recognized as a camera on Windows XP

        Whenever I go to do something with my ipod and pull up My Computer, my iPod is always shown as a digital camera. I looked all around for solutions to this and found one that I think is the solution that I need.  It asks you to pull up device manager and update the driver to usbaapl (under system 32 or Mobile Device Support) but when i go to click on the file "usbaapl.inf" it says it cannot find a better driver than the one previously installed.  The file i previously mentioned is only a setup information file, which has me concerned as to the underlying problem, but there are no other choices (the .dll and .sys) listed at all.  I have the latest version of iTunes (just reinstalled it yesterday) and my iPod software is up to date. Someone please help me!!!

    Try everthing here. I would start with remiving and reinstalling all the Apple software using the link in the following.

  • Trouble with my iPhone not being recognized as a camera...?

    I'm trying to save the pictures taken with my iPhone to my PC running XP. But my computer doesn't seem to recognize that the iPhone is connected, but it is charging it and when I open iTunes I can sync it just fine. I looked in My Computer to see if it was listed there as a storage device, but it's not. I also went into Control Panel and opened Scanners and Cameras and tried to add it but of course it's not on the list of available cameras. I think my computer recognized it as a camera when I connected it the very first time, but I haven't seen it do that since. I've tried to read other posts but can't seem to get any real good answers, any PC people know what I can do ?

  • Ipod being recognized as a digital camera

    After months of perfectly sound use in syncing etc suddenly my ipod is being recognized as a digital camera. I have followed all the instructions in the help sections, I have been to the Authorized service centre, I and the service centre have removed itunes several times and started and restared everything sooooo many times and we have reverted to old versions of itunes too. Still the ipod is being recognized as a camera.
    no one seems to know why this has happened nor how to correct it.
    HELP !!!!!!! (please)

  • Ipod not being recognized

    I have an ipod touch second gen. and I downloaded itunes v.10 2 weeks ago I think, and when I plugged my ipod in, it said it was being recognized as a camera and I disconnected it. Now whenever I plug it in, it's not recognized anywhere on my computer. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes and I plugged it in to my brothers computer (he has v.10 too) and it worked? I did a software update hoping it would fix my problem, but still nothing. Help please?

    Connect your ipod. When you go to My Computer and look for Devices with Removal Storage. Do you see your device?
    If not, go to [iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1496].
    If it is there go to [iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1496]

  • IPOD TOUCH  4G IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY ITUNES NOR WINDOWS 7

    Hi... I have been using my new ipod Touch 32G  4G for almost two months now, and It has been working great... but for an unknown reason my itunes 10.4.10 (I use a PC with Windows 7 ultimate 32bits in it) stoped recognizing it, and so has my PC... when I plug the ipod to my computer, if I have itunes open, it freezes... if I unplug the Ipod, it start working ok ( I mean itunes)... and once I plug the ipod to the computer it recognizes it as a camera device.. and if I look for it it wont show in (My Computer)... As I said... this happened just a few days ago... it was working OK before... I have re installed several times the last itunes version and even though it works with out the devices conected... once I connect any apple device ( ipod Touch 2G, ipod Touch 4g and an ipad 2G) it wont recognize any of them... the ipods frezze itunes, the ipad doesn´t frezze it, but It doesnt show there either...  What could have happened ?  What should I do ?  I have checked the drivers, uninstalled and installed them again, I have unisntalled and installed itunes several times now, i have tried the devices in other computers also with Windows 7 and they are working OK, so its itunes so is not the cable nor the ipods or ipad...
    I dont know what else I can do ...
    Would someone please have any ideas on how to solve this ?

    I had the exact same problem...and literally, even after calling Apple Help this morning and them emailing what was supposed to fix it, I was still stuck in the same boat. However, after much searching, I found a post on the internet, did what it said, and, as of this morning, my iPod, and my kid's iPods, are now recognized.
    Since the most recent iTunes update none of our iPods are recognized by iTunes. Our PC is smart enough to recognize my iPod, but iTunes is not.
    After MUCH aggravation....AFTER trying all the fixes outlined by Apple Support, AFTER contacting Apple Help and doing what they said, NOTHING WORKED.
    I searched the internet again and found the simplest of instructions. They explain that with the new iTunes update some iPods are being recognized as digital cameras rather than iPods, which mine was doing. This is how I fixed it. Do not have iTunes open.
    Attach your iPod to your computer.
    1. Open the Device Manager. (To do this right click on My Computer or Computer, click on Properties, and then click on Device Manager).
    2. Find your iPod. Normally it will show up on it's own, but since your computer is recognizing it as a digital camera it may be under something else; mine was under Portable Devices.
    Even though it is saying drivers are up to date based on all Apple Fixes, you DO HAVE TO MANUALLY UPDATE DRIVERS...and this is what you have to do!
    3. Select the Apple iPod by double clicking on it when you find it.
    4. Select Driver on the tabs and click on Update Driver.
    5. Choose Browse My Computer for Driver Software. Once opened, you must locate this file: Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. Select that folder and Click Next. Once the update is complete, unplug your iPod. Wait 30 seconds and plug it back in...your computer should now recognize the iPod.
    To whoever found out about this fix and posted it online, THANK YOU!!! I have spent hours and hours following Apples advice to no avail...but this fix, posted online by someone else, DID work...so thank you for posting it...and I am just passing it on!
    Let me know if it works for you...it takes all of 5 minutes and it worked for me this morning!

  • Ipod being recognised as a camera

    I have recently downloaded the latest version of i-tunes.
    However when now I plug in my ipod it is stating that the device is a camera and I cannot update anything.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Very annoying!

    Hello wrelts84,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your iPod is most likely being recognized as a camera because you have saved photos on it. If you remove them and try to reconnect your iPod, it should appear correctly in iTunes. Saved photos could include saved email attachments as well as screen shots you have taken on your iPod Touch.
    Go to the "Saved Photos" album under Photos and delete all the photos from that album and see if that helps.

    I found this is another thread - same issue.
    Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why? 
    Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.
