It does (should) show up in Explorer on a PC. On a Mac it does not show up in Finder

Have you installed any camera or scanning software?
If you have a camera, does the camera show when you connect to computer?

  • When I plug my IPOD touch into my dell computer all it shows are my picture.  I am afraid if I update the software on the IPOD it will erase all my music.

    When I plug my IPOD touch into my Dell computer it comes up with Judy's IPOD, the click on where it says internal storeage then a folder comes up that says DCIM then click on that and another folder comes up 800AAAAA and when you click on that all you see if pictures.  I am afraid to update the software on the IPOD I am afraid it will erase all my songs.  Does anyone have any idea what the problem or can I update the software without fear of losing all my songs.

    You have to follow these instructions. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

  • I can not change albums when I plug my Ipod touch into my car.

    When i plug my Ipod touch 3rd gen into my 2010 Scion XD the screen goes white with an icon saying that is plugged in as an accessory. The problem with this is that when an album ends there is no way to flip to a new artist/album or anything without unhooking the ipod. So once you plug the ipod into the car it will only play the album that you already were playing with no option to change it. Is there a setting that i can change so the music touch screen will stay active when plugged into my car so i can flip through my library?
    Thanks

    This can happen if Restrictions are enabled on your iPod Touch and Installing Apps is turned OFF. You'll also find the App Store icon is missing.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions and either disable restrictions or turn "Installing Apps" ON.

  • "Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

    I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
    Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

  • When I plug my iPod Touch into the computer in iTunes it says: iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)

    I have a refurbished iPod Touch and it has been working fine with my computer except for sometimes there's a little delay in iTunes picking it up when I plug it in to my computer and now when I tried to plug it in to my computer it has the message that I posted in the title.

  • All of a sudden when I plug my ipod touch into my computer, it tells me that "ipod can not be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started" Any ideas?

    I recently installed icloud on my computer, and now when I plug in my ipod touch it tells me "ipod can not be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started". I can not find anything on my computer or my touch that seems to have anything to do with it. Anybody have any suggestions?

    I'd start with the following document with that one:

  • Is there a way to fix the "carging is not supported with this accessory" warning when I plug my ipod touch into my laptop?

    It's been working fine up til now, but the other day it began coming up as a warning. It also won't let me play music for very long before connectingand disconnecting my ipod multiple times....It's never had this issue before, so I have no idea what's going on.
    I assume it has something to do with the update that I need to run on my ipod touch, but it says that it will erase everything on my ipod when I do it....and I don't have everything in my itunes library because I've had to start over fresh a few times...So I'm really scared of doing this update, but I feel like my ipod needs it...

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    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
    - Restor from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
    You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.

  • When I plug my ipod touch into my computer, itunes says it cannot read it and it needs to be reset to factory settings

    I bought my Ipod Touch today and I set it up with everything, even added a few game apps and my music. I plugged it in again and as it was reading "Evan's Ipod" , it cancelled and told me it could not be read and to reset it to its factory settings. I did and that didn't fix the problem. It's still telling me the same thing. Could anyone help?

    Try placing the iPod in DFU made and then restore. If you get the same error time for an Appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why when i plug my iPod Touch 4th gen in does it not ask me to upgrade to iOS 5?

    my ipoid is a 4th generation touch and ive seen the upgrade for ios5 and when i plugged it in it was supposed to ask me if i wanted to upgrade and it never has. ive tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in but it wont ask me and i cant see that theres any other way to do it. also when i check the summary page and click on check for update it tells me that this is the current version.

    it wont ask you if its already installed on it.
    but you can always download it manually from internet and
    connect your  ipod back in itunes pess shift and click update for a pc, press options and click update for a mac. Then select where you saved the file after downloading.
    befor that if the file is in .zip format you have to change it to .ipsw format for it to show in tunes......
    cheers

  • I have a mac laptop and when i plug my ipod touch (fourth generation), the computer does not even know its there. I look for the little box where the devices usually are and there is nothing showing up. I need help.

    Additional info.
    This computer is a computer handed out to us from school that we use throughout highschool. We are allowed to sync our itunes accounts so theres no problem there.
