Windows cant recognize itouch as anything besides a camera

I had been having a ton of problems installing iTunes on my desktop for a long time, and today I finally got it working with an old disk I found from an old iPod Nano I had.
Okay great, my problem was solved, right? Wrong.
I plugged in my iPod Touch to find that Windows was picking it up as a camera instead of an iPod. I have never had any problems like this before..
Any tips? (or drivers? :P)

do you have Saved Photos on your iPod? computers often recognise iPod touches as cameras if they do, as effectively they are a source of new pictures. (it should still be recognised ok in itunes though)

Database Window cant recognize a file in site

I m using dreamweaver cs4.I have created a site and add a jsp file by right clicking in file browser of site window.After that I opened the jsp file by double clicking on it.Now If I want to add a database from database window it says - create a site for this file and so on.But I have already created a site and the jsp file is created in the site, how come it says so.How can I make the database window recognise my file? I mean that the file is already in a site.

IF support for JSP is removed then WHAT THE HELL JSP Feature is there while creating a SITE.It asks for type of server and there is JSP.If I cant
work with any database then what the hell do I need any JSP server? Isn't it a HYPOCRASY?? And there is also no mention of that in the whole tutorial help.IF it doesn't support JSP, then there should not be any "JSP" from site/file creation to the end.This is REALLY confusing and ambiguous.
Sorry to say that, after wasting a lot of time now I m told that I cant use JSP...sigh.!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

I originally encrypted my hard disk. instead of just reformatting. I deleted hardisk entirely. Now I cant login. or do anything. I am in Afghanistan so internet is slow, I cant send it in the mail, and there surely isnt a apple store around here. HELP!!

Didn't want to make you feel like an Idiot. Just pointing otu that most all externals come, these days, formatted NTFS as the world runs on Windows computers and at least the last 2 Win OS version will only install and likes to use NTFS formatted drives. So most drive manufacturers Pre-Format their drive in that format.
What do you mean "I'm Cloning Time Now"? I don't get the TIME reference?
You Clone the install of OS X from a working Mac to the External. The Cloning willl make that external Bootable (It will boot on like Mac computers).
Then when that is done disconnect that external and connect it to your Mac. Start your Mac and it should boot off that external. If it doesn't then Restart and hold down the Option key and select the external as the boot drive.
Once the your Mac starts from the external the cloning program should already by running as it was running whenn the clone was made. Select the external as the source and your internal as the destination. you may want to shut the cloning program down and first use Disk Utility to Re-Partition your drive as One Partition.
Hopefully that will get rid of the encryption you enabled and give you a clean freshly formatted drive to clone to.
Then start up the cloniing software and do as pointed out above.

Wireless says windows cant control this device

I am using boot camp with windows xp sp2 i loaded the drivers from the apple disk but whenever i try to select a wireless network it comes up saying that windows cant control the wireless device, and references wireless zero config. I have tried to start this service per Microsoft's instruction but every time I get a error message saying "Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion." I have searched trying to figure out how to solve this problem but havent come across anything. Can someone out there help me?

i am having the same problem on my mac pro when i try to use the airport card to connect to the wireless network in my house. I was using a Hawking wireless G USB adapter that worked fine on the windows partition nut would cause kernal panics in OSX. Hopefully someone can help us out because it is very frustrating.

ITunes do NOT recognizes iTouch

A long time since I upgraded to Windows 7 and since then my itouch 3G is not recognized by Itunes. It was working perfectly on Vista, but I've tried EVERYTHING and I can’t connect my iPod to iTunes.
The strange thing is that Windows Explorer recognizes the ipod, but iTunes doesn’t.
I've read all pages of solutions on Apple's website. None of their solutions was useful for me. I’ve already reinstalled itunes (latest version) 10 times!
When I try to update the driver of AppleMobileDevice in Device Manager of Windows, it says that "The device driver software was NOT installed successfully."
PS: I'm sure the problem is NOT the itouch or the usb cable.

Check to insure that you are installing the right build of Apple's software. The 32 bit and 64 bit builds are different and are not interchangeable.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says plae the iPod in Recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC

or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

I get an error from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone"

I just upgraded to itunes 7.6.0.29, after that got a pop up with a message from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone" and to detach it and try again.
Just for verification uninstalled 7.6 and reinstalled 7.5. The problem went away. Then upgraded the iPod Touch software to version 1.1.3
Thinking that with the new SW version in the iPod maybe the problem went away upgraded again iTunes to 7.6 just to get the same error again.
Any way to "fix" this? or should I re-install 7.5 and wait for 7.7?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there,
follow the following steps below and it shud sort ur problem.
"THE FIRST AND FOREMOST BLUNDER THAT WE HAVE DONE IS OUR ITUNES VERSION SHOULD BE 7.6 IN ORDER TO UPDATE THE IPOD SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE TO 1.1.3 FROM WHAT EVER OLDER VERSION WE HAVE."
*MAKE SURE THE ACTUAL EXISTING VERSION OF THE ITUNES ON YOUR
COMPUTER/LAPTOP
STEP 1:Friends what I have done is I disconnected my IPOD from my laptop and
firstly downloaded the ACTUAL (EXISTING OLDER) ITUNES version (7.5) that I
initially had while i was DOING THE BLUNDER OF UPDATING THE FIRMWARE TO
1.1.3.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSIONS FROM THIS SITE:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3694
STEP 2: Once the ITUNES (older version) dump is available on your computer
uninstall the ITUNES and all the IPOD related stuff from your computer
from Start>Control panel>ADD/Remove programs.
Step 3: Restart ur computer and reinstall that older version ITUNES software
again.
Open the ITUNES software.
Step 4: Now connect your IPOD and the ITUNES will prompt you that an IPOD in
recovery mode is detected. It will ask you if u want to recover it to the
factory settings by clicking on "restore" under the "summary" tab on
ITUNES. Before doing this the very important step we need to do is to
UPDATE THE ITUNES VERSION FROM THE EXISTING OLDER VERSION TO 7.6 WHICH IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
STEP 5: To do this click on the HELP menu on the top and click on CHECK FOR
UPDATES. Thats it the ITUNES will be updated to latest version which will
allow us to update the IPOD'S FIRMWARE to 1.1.3 as well.
STEP 6: Now go to the summary tab of the IPOD and click on restore> wait for the
restoration process to carry on and the IPOD should be running back to
normal.
WELL FRIENDS THIS WHAT I HAVE DONE ON MY IPOD AND THE PROBLEM IS SORTED.
I HOPE THIS SHOULD SORT YOUR PROBLEMS AS WELL.

TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks to anyone who can help!!

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks!!

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

I've ordered a replacement battery for my 15" macbook pro from 2007. Do I need to do anything besides put it in, charge it up, and calibrate it?

The second battery in my 2007 15" macbook pro has failed. I've ordered a new one; when I get it should I do anything besides put it in, charge it up, and calibrate it? Both of them worked properly at first, but within the first year I found my computer would shut down without warning shortly after starting to run it on the battery.

Perform a SMC Reset, it could be causing your battery problems.

"I bought it a couple of weeks ago"
Bought it from where? I ask because given what you have already tried, it would appear that this iPod needs either service or exchanging for another one.
Did you buy this as new from a reputable source?
