Why doesn't my iTouch show up in My Computer when it always has before?

Lookie, I have had this problem intermittently and it is quite frankly, driving me crazy.
I am aware that you cannot 'enable disk mode' on an iPod Touch. I understand that this measure is put into place to prevent people from illegally ripping apps and other purchasable material.
All the apps on my iPod have been LEGALLY purchased from the iTunes store, my iPod has NOT been jailbroken, and I have NO INTENTION of performing any illegal activity period! I just want to get my photos and videos onto my computer!
It's ridiculous that the function sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
I know it's not my USB cable because iTunes unfailingly starts up every time I plug my iPod in.

  • Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page?

    Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
    Please help.

    Could it be that you are running Windows XP?  I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

    Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

    You're welcome.  My mistake, I completely misread your question. Unfortunately currently  I don't have any email threads to check it out, just replys from the Apple Support Communities.Sorry.

  • Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
    As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.

  • HT1657 I had rented a movie on my IPhone5 and after downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?

    After downloading almost all of it, I get an error that there is no enough space. Why doesn't the store check to see if I have enough free space before proceeeding with the order?
    How do I get a refund?

    Well, with apps genneraly you do get told ahead of time. I'm not sure of the current algorithm with movies though.
    Why not just clear up some space? You can check your usage in your settings btw.

    It doesnt along with the Ipad 4th gen. I wouldnt worry about it, most likely it will when the new Itunes comes out.

    Some people have fixed this with a simple re-start of the phone, others needed to reset the Phone.

  • HT2242 Why does my Itunes store show up in Japanese/kanji when I've got my language specified as English?

    Why does my itunes store show up in Kanji/Japanese when my language and country selections are in English?

    I'd like to add one more thing.  I need to update my iPod as I'm using version 1.0.2 PC -- Before I do this, I'd like to back up my iPod.  As I noted above, I am afraid of doing something and accidentally wiping out my iPod (since that's where everything seems to be).
