| | Ipod Touch not properly recognized by Vista I recently bought an Ipod Touch and when I tried to connect to Itunes from my computer the device was not automatically recognized by Itunes. Instead I got Vista's Autoplay menu which gave me the following three options: - Import pictures using windows - Open Device Using Windows Explorer - Take no action When I go to the device manager and I look at the properties of my Ipod (under Portable Devices) I found that the Device Assembly Description is Digital Still Camera. Consistent with this when I look at the Ipod at My Computer it shows an icon of a camera. This issue has happened now with two different Ipod Touch devices, but does not happen with other Ipod models (nano or Video). Any recommendations on how to change the device properties? Thanks... |
