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...

Are you running Vista SP1? x86 or x64?

Did you download and install the iTunes application first as per the Touch
setup instructions. I did and had not trouble on my Vista SP1 HP 32 bit
system

I already had iTunes in my computer (latest version) as in my household we
had other iPods.

Re: Ipod Touch not properly recognized by Vista

I have exactly the same problem. you can remove the camera link by ticking 'take no action' in the 'autoplay' section of control panel. However this still does not allow itunes to sync with the ipod touch. I have three different ipod touches and all ahve the same problem. Help.
