Question

Why does my computer think my ipod touch is a camera when plugged in by usb cable?

Answer 1

if you've used a digital camera or a similar storage media before it is recgnised the same way until you choose a different option when the pop up appears on windows. if you install the device driver for ipod or other hardware you use it will recognise by its type and name. if you don't have a cd with the hardware often you can download drivers from manufacturers website. another thing is not all devices are plug & play compatible and by default they are all known as storage media/camera.
