Recognising iPod Touch as Camera, however able to connect to iTunes

I have a Vista laptop and a Windows XP desktop computer.
At first, I used my iPod with my computer as it was the main scource of music. Unofrtunately my computer broke and we lost all files and programmes. Therefore I started using my laptop. However, I still occasionaly use my computer to charge my iPod.
Recently, my laptop has been playing up and I've decided to use my computer again. So I want to get my music from my iPod onto my computer.
When I updated my iPod Touch with the new software, I downloaded an app which allowed me to save photos from it to my iPod. Since then, when I connect my iPod to my computer it comes up with the option of opening my photos; like any normal digital camera. This doesn't do it on my laptop.
I have read a lot of posts with people claiming they have the same problem, though my iPod charges and connects to iTunes unlike theirs. I can see my iPod listed as a device on the left side, but I cannot click into it (I don't know whether this is because I use my laptop as my main iTunes).
The threads I have read, I have tried everything including updating the device with the 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_AF109929C2381E41FEF454F3FEDAA257A9E85F92' folder. This did not work.

Hi Leah,
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed, currently 8.1.1.

If the issue persists after updating iTunes, try Reinstalling the USB driver as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

My Ipod Touch is disabled and when I connect to Itunes to recover it, it states that itiTunes could not connect to the iPod touch "iPod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can recover.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?

How do you turn your ipod touch on when the screen says connect to itunes?

You connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes and restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter it or if iTunes does not see the iPod, manually placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

TS2446 my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to itunes but itunes doesn't recognize because my computer crashed and had to have fixed so doent recognize my ipod touch what do i do

My ipod touch was lost and now I got it back but someone locked it up and says my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to my itunes. I connected to my itunes on my computer but will not recognize this ipod touch because since it was lost my computer crashed and nothing could be saved on it so I had to reload itunes and start from the beginning so how do I get my ipod touch out of "disabled" mode?

Try authorizing the computer because that may be the problem. And you need the latest version of itunes. Itunes 11.
To authorize the computer go to itunes then press store then authorize.

My ipod touch 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.

My Ipod though 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I connect it it tells me that it's locked and that I need to enter my passcode, but it's stuck on that screen so I can't.
I have tried restarting it AND resetting it multiple times and it is still stuck on that screen.
I don't know what else I can do.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You need to manually place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it in iTunes. See this article for instructions on connecting your iPod to iTunes in recovery mode.

My itunes said I needed an update, I unplugged the ipod touch and reset everything. When "connect to itunes" showed on the screen, I plugged it back in and Itunes no longer recognizes it. I tried 4 usb cables, 4 different computers, all new itunes

I've gone through all the troubleshooting of restarting computers & itunes and updating itunes. Trying to put in to DFU mode. I've tried everything. iTunes just doesnt recognize this ipod. I have multiple ipods/iphones, and everything else works. I am eliminating the people who are saying it's a broken pin, that cannot be it, because immediately before that moment, it was connected, everything on my ipod was listed in iTunes. It just promted me to update to 6.0.1 (or whatever the most recent is) I also seen a lot of issues posted on the web of people who had jailbroken phones. This ipod touch is standard, there were no jailbreaks or anything used ever.
There was a program called Wondershare Dr.Fone, which is said to be a photo recovery tool for ipods, to retrieve recently deleted photos. (Guess I shouldn't have been trying to do that) I downloaded this trial and when it opened it stated that Itunes and this could not run at the same time. It shut down iTunes automatically. At that point, I didn't do anything more with the Wondershare Dr. Fone, I didn't try to run the program or anything. iTunes prompted me that the device needed to be upgraded to 6.0.1. I had an option to download or download and install the updated 6.0.1 from Itunes. I clicked on download only. So iTunes was downloading the new version from my iPod Touch. I shut it down the Wondershare Dr. Fone, unplugged the iphone from itunes/computer, went in to settings and did a master reset. I plugged the device back in to the computer when the iTunes logo and usb came on the screen, and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize it anymore. I've tried 4 different usb cables and four different comuters all with up to date iTunes software. I did not break the port either, nothing is inside the port, or blocking it in anyway. All 4 computers and usb cables connected fine to other ipods and iphones.
So the questions are:
How can I get my ipod out of restore mode (iTunes logo and usb cord sybol) without iTunes recognizing it?
What could I have possibly done to this ipod?
Why doesn't anyone have the answer anywhere on the internet?
(Note: Even if the Ipod is placed in DFU mode, iTunes does not recognize it)
Please help!
Yours Truly,
Me & My UnRestorable IPOD TOUCH

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

My iPod touch is disabled, it says to connect to iTunes and I did but it is still disabled! How do I get it not to be disabled without also erasing all my files and data in my iPod?

I really need help with this, my iPod was disabled by my brother and I don't know how to get it back to normal again. I connected it to iTunes and it still shows up there with all my songs. However, the iPod itself is not working. I've tried multiple things but I don't want my data to be erased so im a bit cautious about what to do. Also, it would help if someone could explain what exactly happens when an iPod is 'restored' 'restored mode' or in 'recovery mode'. If someone could help me it'd be much appreciated. Thanks

You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.
