When iPod touch is connected in iTunes

I cannot change the layout view.
Anyone know why? Grid or cover flow are greyed out and i cannot change it.
Thanks.

If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

  • My ipod touch says connect to iTunes and when i do it says put your password in but i cant because it is disabled

    my ipod touch 4g says ipod is disabled  connect to itunes and when i do it says i have to put in my password but i cant because it is disabled

    To bypass the passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Then restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on your computer.

  • ITunes crashing (only when iPod Touch is connected)

    It just started last night. Anytime I try to add music to the library or choose the folder to sync photos from, basically anytime iTunes has to access explorer to browse folder, it crashes and it doesn't give me any sort of error. It just tells me it has crashed and is reporting the problem. Like I said though, this only happens when the iPod Touch is connected. If I unplug it and then add music, it works fine but without it plugged in I can't add photos. Also, if I already have iTunes open and then connect the iPod, it crashes. I have to have the iPod already connected and then I can open iTunes.
    Any ideas? I switched to using iTunes as my default player because WMP had too many issues. I don't want to have to go back.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    iPod: 32GB iPod Touch 3rd generation on latest official firmware

    More info: iTunes generates a standard WinXP Send Error Report/Don't Send error message.
    The Error Signature is:
    AppName: itunes.exe
    AppVer: 8.0.2.20
    ModName: quicktime.qts
    ModVer: 7.55.90.70
    Offset: 009fd1a7
    I tried on another PC. Same crash. It seems either the problem is on the iPod Touch side, or some more general problem with iTunes.

  • ITunes doesn't open when iPod Touch is connected

    I have iTunes 8.0. When I connect the iPod touch, nothing happens. If I manually open iTunes, it begins to backup and sync. I have the box checked on the summary page for the iPod Touch that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected". I already trashed and reinstalled iTunes.

    I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

  • Can't download when iPod touch is connected

    I have a 32GB 1G iPod Touch. When it is plugged into the PC, I cannot connect to the iTunes store or even download podcasts through iTunes. (I get a -50 error.) When I disconnect it from the PC, downloads are fine.
    I've tried this on two PCs, and the same thing happens. There's nothing wrong with the functionality of the iPod at all. Any ideas?

    Here's what worked for me. You need to check your user account and click the icon at the top that says "login items." Look in the list and see if "ituneshelper.app" is listed; if it it NOT listed you need to add it (so keep this window open). Here's how to do that: go to your application folder and highlight itunes, secondary click it and select "show package contents" after that opens, go to the contents folder and then go to the resource folder. In the resource folder you will see "Ituneshelper" drag iTunesHelper to the login items. Close it up, and then reboot.
    Now connect your ipod/touch or whatever with itunes closed and it SHOULD open..be sure you've chosen open itunes when ipod is connected. It worked for me, and hope it works for everyone else.

  • Itunes 11.4 freezing when ipod touch 5 connected to windows 7 64bit

    Every time the iPod touch 5th generation is connected to ITunes in Windows 7 64 bit, the stupid iTunes freezes. The only way to unfreeze is to disconnect it. This problem has been going for a very long time. Upgrading iTunes does nothing. ITunes 11.4 does not fix the problem. There is no way to sync iPod touch with windows 7. This getting very frustrating. When is someone going to post a fix that permanently fixes this problem that has existed for a long time. Anyone got a brain that works?
    A few months ago someone posted a fix that required to disable a windows update that work for a while. Now iTunes is back to its old freezing behaviors. Fix it Apple now!..

    This is a useless reply. It does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing to fix it.  Itunes always freezes when Ipod is connected. This is a problem with Windows 7 64bit and is very common problem. Itunes doesn't want to cooperate with 64bit windows. If you search the internet, lots are having the same problem. This problem has existed for 10 years. Every new version of itunes never fixes the problem. Why can't Apple and Microsoft work together to fix the issue. This is unacceptable. Apple software designers are very lazy and stupid.

  • ITunes Won't Open When Ipod Touch is Connected

    This issue randomly started happening with iTunes 8 about a week ago. If I connect my iTouch to my computer, iTunes will load in the task manager, but not on my desktop. This also happens if I check "automatically open iTunes when iPod is connected"'
    The strange thing is- if I open iTunes BEFORE connecting my ipod, and then connecting it after, everything works fine.
    I've confirmed that all the additional programs are running in the task manager (iTuneshelper,exe, etc) when I connected the ipod before opening itunes. I've also tried reinstalling all Apple programs (iTunes, Quicktime, etc), and resetting the settings on my iTouch, but nothing works.
    Any ideas, and thanks for your help.

    FWIW i get this now and then on my winblows 'puter and just chalk it up to that. I've flushed caches and queues and rebooted and all that who-ha and quite frankly when it locks up it ticks me off to no end ('cuz it SHOULDNT do that) but i have a cold one and figure they have kindergartners doing the system programming nowadays and go from there.

  • ITunes does not open when iPod Touch is connected

    Prior to iTunes 9, I could connect my first-gen iPod Touch and iTunes would open automatically. It does not do that anymore.
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    Thanks,

    deggie: Thanks, re-installing iTunes worked. There must have been a problem with the mobile devise part of the program. Funny - re-installing is the remedy of choice. I must be getting old. Anyway thanks.

  • Itunes freezing when Ipod touch is connected

    Everytime I try to connect my iPod touch (2nd Gen, 32 Gb), iTunes hangs on that spinning ball and won't respond or recognize my iPod. The strange thing is that iTunes works fine with both my nano and shuffle and the iPod touch is also working perfectly. It's been happening sice I upgraded form Leopard to Snow Leopard. PLEASE help!
    I' running iTunes 9 (with the lateset updates) and snow leopard.

    I solved my problem. Here's whatI did: went to username/library/application support, and deleted the folder "syncservices". Loged out and then back in again. After that my iPod was syncing perfectly with iTunes... everyone with similar issues should try this, I found this in another topic in Apple Discussions.

  • IPod touch not connecting to iTunes or computer and has a "connect to iTunes" message when powered on

    So, I got my iPod 3rd gen 8gb off craigslist, I had a chance to test it, it worked fine then. I reset it and then tryed to connect to iTunes with my sisters' iPod touch 4th gen usb cable, and it didn't work. I tryed it again on my moms desktop and it says that the USB device is not recognised, so the USB cable DOES work. I downloaded iTunes on the desktop computer, and still, didn't work. I ordered a new cord, maybe it will work, but who knows. Also, I contacted the people I got the iPod from, they said they had reset it and it connected to iTunes just fine.
    A nice detailed answer would be appreciated.

    Ahh, just un-installed the Apple Mobile Device thing in my Programs and Features, then uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and it worked, I got the driver in and did the thing on the page you gave me and it works like a dream. Thank you!!

  • PC shuts off when Ipod Touch is connected.  Detects "Digital Still Camera"

    My Ipod Touch was working fine until today. I plugged it into my PC and then it detects it as a "digital still camera". Then after a few seconds my PC will completely shut down.
    The weird thing is that once it restarts with the Ipod connected already it will detect it as an Ipod and Itunes will open and everything normally. If I then disconnect it and connect it again, it will be detected as a camera again and again shut down.
    I've looked all over the inter for solutions. Most of them involve updating the driver. But I cannot update the driver unless the device is connected. And when the device is connected as a "digital still camera" it will shut down my computer.
    I tried booting in safe mode and then connecting the Ipod Touch and it worked fine. It detected it as an Ipod and everything worked fine. My plan was to boot in safe mode and then update the driver but I couldn't because it detected it normally.
    I would normally try turning off some services to see if something it bothering it but I don't want to ruin my computer by consistently shutting it down unexpectingly and giving me errors each time it reboots.
    I've seen other people online with this problem but none with a solution. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you

    Mine is doing the same thing,I got it 2 days ago worked fine but today everytime i plug in the desk top it will shut it down. I plug it to my lap top it worked but i'm affraid that it will do the same thing again after a while. I have a feeling that there is some problem with itunes, if my computer is the problem why did it work fine at the begining.When I uninstalled the itunes and plug the ipod it starts charging but the computer did not shut down. I did some research and it seems that a lot of people having the same problem.
