Took fotos with iPod touch, now laptop thinks iPod is a camera and won't sync with iTunes

I have been loading vinyls onto iTunes using EZ Vinyl Tape converter. I have sync'd OK until recently when problems encountered with EZ. However there are some tunes on laptop to sync. After using the iPod touch as a camera I now cannot sync. The laptop thinks the iPod is a camera and does not initiate iTunes, instead the laptop gets a totally blank screen and I cannot do anything, not even switch it off. I have scanned laptop for bugs, viruses etc using norton. I am totally stuck now.

HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore with iTunes. Please Help!

I had jailbroken my ipod touch then decided it didnt do much of anything, so I decided to restore my ipod. But itunes didnt finish the restore and left me in recovery mode. Now it says iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mod, but when I try to restore it, it says something like could not connect to apple restore firm and I'm back to square one.
Any Help is appreciated!

Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch. Comp thinks it is a camera. iTunes won't bring up devices at all. I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch. Comp thinks it is a camera or something. iTunes won't bring up devices at all. I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all. I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all. Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod. Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window. In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera. In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed. There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable. And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!! You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
Thank you.

After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
(here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple. Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

iOS: Unable to update or restore

My ipod touch screen froze on a blank white page and won't let me connect to itunes what to do?

It works for many users. In some cases the white screen is due to a hardware problem and there is nothing that one can do short of getting someonet to know what they are doing and take the iPod apart andmaybe fix the hardware problem.

HT4946 My ipod is disabled and won't sync with itunes

I purchased a new computer from the one that I originally used to sync with my iPod Touch.    Now my iPod is showing disabled and the iTunes on my new computer won't sync with the iPod.   How can I override disable feature to get in and change my password

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

My ipad 2 has deleted all mail, and is completely blank, can't send or receive, and won't sync with computer?

The mail on my ipad2 is completely wiped out, totally blank, it won't sync with the computer, nor will it send and receive, everything else is running fine and syncing ok, can anyone help? The settings are all ok but just when you click on mail it comes up as a blank page......very bewildered, thanks.

Since writing this yesterday, I have found that other iPhone owners have had the same problem in my immediate area. AT&T claims there was a problem the same day with the local cell tower. Despite that, AT&T customer service phone reps keep telling me that I need a new phone. I don't believe one rep knows what the other is doing.
So as a word of advice, don't go out and buy a new phone until you are absolutely sure. My iPhone is working fine.

My iPod Touch (5th gen) is deleting a GREAT amount of music upon syncing with iTunes. HELP

It all started on Saturday (February 22), as per usual, I connected my Ipod touch to my pc and I have it connected so that it syncs automatically. I was going to do my daily workout and I had a song playing on repeat. It could be possible that I started playing the song while it was syncing, but I'm not too sure. When the song had repeated two or three times, my iPod stopped playing music. When I looked at my iPod, it had the "play" symbol, but the song was not playing at all. I looked at my iTunes and it showed that my song was missing even though it was clearly playing moments ago. This has happened to me a couple of times before and all I did to fix it back when it had happened was just to disconnect and reconnect my iPod. Then the "!" marks would disappear, but that didn't happen this time around. I should also mention that I have the 64gb iPod Touch with only 6gb free (at the time when the iPod failed) and I had around 6,000 songs. Maybe 5,000 (I don't remember). So when I reconnected my iPod, It showed that there was around 20gb free and there was around 4,000 songs in my iPod (so it seemed that I lost around 2,000 songs). At this point I started to panic and I did not know what to do. When I tried to play my music on my iPod, it just kept skipping songs until it found one that it can play. But when I skipped more songs and tried to go back to the song that was able to find to play, that song was just skipped. I should also mention that I DO NOT keep a backup of any of my music. I then decided to use a program that I have that can export my music from my ipod to my pc. When it finished exporting, I noticed that It only saved around 3,000 songs (so I lost half of my music). Then I looked at my iTunes, it said that there was 4.000 songs in my iPod. I looked through the music that my iTunes detected on my iPod and found songs there that were not shown to be exported, but they were unplayable. When I looked through my ipod for those songs, they were not there. I disconnected my iPod, reconnected it, but the songs were still missing. I then decided to sync it (up until this point, I had Auto-sync disabled) and the 20gb of free space turned into 50gb of free space. I had no clue what was going on and was afraid that I had to restore it. I looked for solutions online and could not find anything. I restarted my iPod in hopes that something would happen, but all that happened was the 50gb of free space turned back to 20gb of free space. Nothing was working so I had no choice but to restore it.
Also, I had a manga app and the chapters I had downloaded there were also deleted (meaning that music was not the only thing that was deleted). And in case you were wondering, both my iTunes and iPod were up-to-date at the time.
It is now Thursday (February 27, midnight, with around 4,000 songs) and I was adding some lyrics to a specific song. When I tried to play this song on itunes, it gave me the "!" mark. Then I noticed that my iTunes was syncing with my iPod, but it was stuck at "Step 4" of synchronization. Growing impatient, I decided to take my chances and disconnected my iPod. I searched my iPod for the song that was missing and when I found it, I was able to play it with no problems. I restarted my iPod and reconnected it again and it started syncing (even though I have auto-sync disabled) and was stuck at "Step 4" again. I disconnected it, restarted my iPod again, and searched for some answers online. I then found out that there was an update for iTunes (11.1.5). When it was finished, I reconnected my iPod and the synchronization problem was fixed, but then it showed me that my iPod had 51.47gb of free space and more than half of my music was gone. My iTunes CURRENTLY shows that I have 2,544 songs in my iPod, but when I shuffled all my songs in my iPod, it showed that I had only 327 songs. I learned my lesson from last Saturday and now have all my songs saved so getting back my music (right now) is no problem. However, I'll probably have to restore my iPod just to be safe.
Any ideas of what might be causing this? I do not want to keep repeating this process. I'm a big music person and losing thousands upon thousands of songs pains me greatly. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I like to listen to my iPod when I sleep; so basically my iPod is playing for 6-8 hours every day (while charging). I've been doing this for 4+ years and it never really caused me any problems. Also, I keep my music very organized with labels and tags in almost every song along with a lot of playlists. Before this whole incident happened, I had over 200 playlists. I don't know if that might have.. "overloaded" my iPod? but yeah. Thank you for your time. Please Reply.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

I cannot get my ipod touch to do anything, it just went dead and won't charge

I tried turning on my ipod touch and it would not do anything, not even show a battery sign or anything, just completely dead. I used it with a half battery about 15 minutes prior to that and it worked fine. It will not charge or anything.

After reading some other replies from older post I got it to work! I held down the power button and home button at the same time until the white apple icon appeared, then plugged into even though it already had a full battery.

Why does my iPod touch 2g only update to 4.2.1 and my newest version of iTunes doesn't show previous purchases?

I had my iPod updated to 4.3.3 onces then after backing it up in iTunes some of my apps I purchased were missing and it only let me update to 4.2.1. I have the newest version of iTunes just updated a couple minutes ago.

The iPod touch 2nd gen can only update to iOS 4.2.1. Hardware restrictions prevent it from updating any farther.

My iTouch is currently 4.2.1 and won't sync with iTunes.

The Ipod shows up in iTunes, but when I click sync it says "Synching ipod" then "Synching ipod (step 1 of 1) preparing to sync to sync" and then stops with nothing synced. This happens in about 2 seconds. I am currently running windows 7 64 bit

Try resetting the iPod and trying again.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My computer sees my iPad as a camera and will not sync with iTunes.

My computer sees my iPad as a camera and I can't sync with iTunes.

If there are any photos in the Camera Roll you will get a prompt like you mentioned when connecting your iPad to your computer. It is indeed a good reminder to save those photos to your computer. But if you don't want to copy those photos to your computer then dismiss the window and start iTunes. Once iTunes is running you should e able to sync your iPad.

HT1386 I just purchased an iphone 4S and won't sync with my itunes on my pc. What am I doing wrong?

The message on my computer reads: "ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later" I did try several times with the same results every time. What do I do next?

What kind of PC do you have
Have you check for updates in iTunes (10.6.3)
if not go to HELP in iTunes and hit check for updates.
