Why is my camera and ipod touch not connecting to my macbook pro?

My computer is not recognizing my camera and ipod are connected by the usb cable.  But when I connect a usb memory stick it does come up on the desktop. Originally when I bought the computer in May 2011 the ipod touch did work.  I am wondering if I accidentally touched something to make it not work and how I can fix it to make it work again.

Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.
Have you tried any of the following?

  • Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

    I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works).  Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes.  Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all.  In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there.  I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now?  Even the backups will not work. 

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
    You should have done this:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro

    Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.

    Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

  • I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

    I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

    Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
    While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
    (If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
    Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
    If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
    Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

  • Can applications for Ipad/Ipod Touch be used on a Macbook Pro?

    I'm wondering if applications in the app store for Ipad and Ipod can be used on a Macbook Pro? 

    Well it's two completely separate operating systems so it shouldn't be a big surprise.

  • Samsung Omnia Mobile Phone does not connect to my MacBook Pro

    Hi guys. I am after some advice please.
    My Mac Book Pro is currently not allowing me to browse my Samsung Omnia phone by bluetooth.
    It has worked previously however, it is not now. It recognises that the phone is there but when it comes to connecting it says "The connection failed or closed" - Would you like to attempt to reconnect or close this window?
    I do not know how to get this to work and I cannot use the USB transfer wire as it is not compatible with Apple Macs.
    I have some photos and files I would like to transfer over however, I cannot do so.
    Any help much appreciated please.

    Hi Elizaanne,
    I understand you are having issues with HP Officejet 6700 Premium not connect to your  Macbook Pro.
    Sometimes the router needs to be cycled.  I would unplug the router, turn off printer, turn off computer.
    Turn back on router wait 5 min and turn on printer and computer.
    Check on the printer if Wifi is SOLID.
    From System Preferences, open Print and Fax or Print and Scan pane. If you see the printer listed
    Click remove printer-  button. It will ask for confirmation of delete printer.
    Click the Add or + button, select the printer Bonjour Multifunction not Fax. Adding that should update the drivers.
    If the Printer Wifi is not solid you will have to set it up again.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
    Touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch Setup , and then touch Network .
    Touch Wireless Setup Wizard
    Then add it to you Mac 10.7. 
    I hope this helps.
    Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.

  • New Airport Express and iPod Touch not playing nicely

    I've been using Verizon FiOS for over a year, and during installation the tech hooked up a wireless Actiontec router. The router worked fine most of the time, but every once in a while it stopped working with the iMac and iPod Touch (1G). Sometimes it would work but then drop the signal for a few moments and reconnect moments later. Sometimes I couldn't connect for days at a time. I would either need to unplug the router for a few minutes or call Verizon to have a tech reset its settings. I do have my Xbox 360 plugged in via ethernet to the router, and during these outages, the Xbox worked. I figured that the router's wireless connection wasn't as compatible as it could be with my iMac and iPod Touch. I decided to purchase an Airport Extreme because my folks have one, and using the iPod Touch there was as easy as could be. It always connects instantly and has a strong signal throughout the house.
    I hooked up my brand new Airport Extreme last week. Verizon's setup is through coax, so I have the coax plugged into the Actiontec, and an ethernet connection from this router to the WAN on the AE. The AE is in bridge mode. Both routers are downstairs next to my TV and Xbox, and my iMac is upstairs. The connection thus fas has been solid on the iMac. I get full signal strength and great download speeds. This isn't any different from the Actiontec; I am just hoping that the AE doesn't drop the signal and need to be reset like the Verizon router needed from time to time. The Xbox 360 is also hooked up to the AE now, via ethernet. It's working just fine, too.
    My problem is now with the iPod Touch. Its connection to the AE is weak in comparison. If I am sitting right on front of the AE downstairs, it works. As soon as I go upstairs (where the Actiontec worked just fine), it loses the signal completely. At the top of my stairs, around fifty feet from the AE with no walls between the AE and iPod, I lose the connection. It simply does not work upstairs, even though this is where the iMac is located. The Actiontec router is no longer broadcasting wirelessly. Obviously I am trying not to use that router because it's unreliable, so I really want the iPod to work with the AE.
    I have read I don't see anything here that helps me. I have reset the network settings on the iPod Touch. I have unplugged and replugged in the Airport. There's not much else I can think of to figure out why the signal reaches the iMac just fine from a distance but not the iPod. If anyone has troubleshooted this before, I'd really appreciate your help.

    I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
    Any ideas?

  • IPOD TOUCH NOT CONNECTING TO ITUNES SOLUTION !!!!!!

    Hi all,
    like a lot of us on here I got an ipod touch for xmas, yet when I connected it to my new laptop which runs vista itunes would not find my ipod touch although the laptop found it as a camera. My old laptop that runs xp however had no such problem and my ipod touch connected to it and itunes without a problem so I knew the problem wasn't with my touch. After trying different things for about a month today I came across this solution it worked for me and I hope it works for you.
    The problem is that windows is using its own microsoft driver for the ipod touch rather than the apple one. This is how I changed my driver for the apple one and jumped with joy as I heard my touch beep and finally show up in itunes.
    PLEASE REMEMBER THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR VISTA BUT SHOULD BE MORE OR LESS THE SAME ON XP.
    1. Click on the windows/start button and goto control pannel
    2. Once in control pannel click classic view if you are not already on it
    3. Then from the control pannel options click on Device Manager
    4. Device Manager will open with a list of devices
    5. look down the list and you should see one called mobile devices click the
    plus sign next to it and apple ipod should show up under it.
    6. Click on apple ipod and a box will pop up click on the driver tab at the top
    of this box & then click update driver from within this box.
    7. A new box will open with two options, choose the second one entitled
    "browse my computer for driver software"
    8. Another new box will pop up and in the box under "search for driver
    software in this location" type c:/ (asuming drive c is your main harddrive)
    or use the browse button next to this box to locate your harddrive.
    9. Now simply click next and fingers crossed if your computer is like mine it
    should search your harddrive find the apple driver, install it and you
    should hear your ipod beep as its recognised by itunes.
    Like I say it worked for me I hope it works for you.
    GOOD LUCK !!!

    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 another cable
    - 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.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Does your ipod charge if you use the adapter instead your usb ports? If yes, try to put it into recovery mode and restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    This will take all of your music off your ipod, but, as mentioned by luvlabs, it is still on your mac after the restore.
    If it doesn't charge using the adapter and different cables you should make an appointment with your nearest Applestore or call Apple to service your ipod.

  • Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

    I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
    I have not idea what has happened ....
    Please help
    THanks!

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Why they have Camera in Ipod touch ?

    Recently I got I pod touch 4, I found picture quality is bad it show pixel quality is 0.7, when I compare with the other low level company models they provide good mega pixel camera.
    It does't make sense why the camera is added in ipod touch 4.
    Message was edited by: Hari.ns

    For a couple of years, people have been clamoring for a camera in the Touch. I'm guessing that's why Apple put it in. Apple has not commented on why that particular camera. And, speculation about Apple policies is prohibited by the terms of use of the forums.
    Best of luck.
