IPod stuck in "do not disconnect" and NOT recognized by iTunes

I updated to 7.1.1.... and my iPod is not stuck in "do Not disconnect" and not recognized by iTunes.
I have tried the Toshiba "Safely Remove Hardware" -- and selecting the iPOD -- but, notice comes back "cannot disconnect now because a program is accessing the device."
Anyone know where I can go from here??? Thanks very much.

the same thing happened to me yesterday after downloading the new itunes 7.1.1 the do not dissconnect would'nt go off and computer and itunes would'nt reconize my ipod video.
so i left it alone overnight to empty battery completely.
the do not disconnect was gone in the morning then i recharged it and plugged it back in to computer and everything is fine. i don't know why it froze on me.
my husbands ipod mini had a similar problem awhile back and i did the same and it also was fine.

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

IPod nano stuck in "Do not disconnect"

My wife's new nano was working perfectly in all operations.
Now, when we plug it into the computers (more details to follow), 1) the computers don't recognize the iPd, and 2) the iPod says "Do not disconnect" (i.e., the iPod /does/ know it's plugged in to a computer.
DETAILS:
* we've tried this on both USB ports on each of two PowerBook G4s, each running OS X 10.4.3. The iPod software is up to date on both computers.
* when I reset the iPod (following the instructions in the KB), it works fine when /not/ connected to the Macs
* the iPod /does/ accept charge from the computers when connected
* I have /not/ tried FireWire, nor have I tried replacing the USB cable. (Mostly because it seems to work OK - iPod recognizes it's connected, and accepts charge)
Anyone?

I think this may be connected to the ongoing problem that the nano is not officially supported by OS X 10.2.8. I have that configuration, and while I seem to be able to download to the nano and play everything OK, it does get stuck in "Do not disconnect." I just get brave and eject the iPod while it's still showing that message, and everything seems fine.
I haven't seen the option for downloading photos, so maybe that does require 10.3.
I'm running a 4 1/2 year old iBook which does have USB 2.0, and the download speed seems fine.

My iPhone will not charge and will only turn on when plugged into adapter.

I have tried to reset and nothing. It turns off if I unplug it and will only turn on when plugged in. The charge has not moved above 19% even though I let it charge for 3 hours while I was out. What do I do?

Ipod mini stuck in "do not disconnect mode"

I had my ipod mini plugged in and downloading music onto it...it was working fine, when I was done I ejected it off the computer so I could disconnect it...it ejected off my desktop but then the screen that says "do not disconnect" would not go off my ipod screen then my computer froze so I restarted it and unplugged the ipod, now the ipod is frozen on that screen, I tried restarting it and that didn't work, I tried plugging it back into the computer and it won't show up on my computer or my sisters computer and the screen won't change....any suggestions??

If you are sure resetting it doesn't help (and it might take many attempts), then look here.

80G ipod is frozen on 'Do not Disconnect' and itunes doesn't recognize it

I tried to sync my ipod, but the device became frozen and thinks it's still on hold. Can't restart device, and can't eject device because the device is not found in itunes or in my applications. Usually when i plug in the device with my USB, itunes opens and begins syncing automatically, but itunes doesn't even open now. I've already tried:
restarting computer (twice)
checking for and installing all updates (once)
restarting ipod (holding pause + menu for 10 seconds) (three times)
connecting and reconnecting device (a bunch of times)
My partner just took the frozen ipod to his office to connect to his macbook pro to see if anything happens there. Any advice?

I am in the same boat - trying to fix an ipod for a friend. I can see it on the desktop but iTunes wont see it. I read a post that said the 5th gens have hard drive issues. One way to find out, put it in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. Then iTunes finds it. Hard drive problem. {I do not support this advice, but only share what I found via a google search.}
First check out this link to try the reset again

HT4061 My ipod was stolen, is there a way of getting it back using the cerial number or other security information?

Someone has stolen my ipod. I do not have it with me, but is there another way to find the cerial number or another piece of information i could turn into the police? is there anyway of getting it back, Becuase i hav a good idea of who stole it, and i have some prove, but its just witness prove, no real prove.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to school and police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Opened support case, they keep closing, problem not solved and they won't respond

I opened a support case with adobe for thier digital editions program and they would answer once and close the case without seeing if the answer worked. I reopened the case again when the fix didn't work and gave them more info, including text of the error, and asked that they read everything that has been done and reply again. They replied again and only answered part of my problem (how to deauthorize my computer) not how to fix the original problem that is STILL not fixed, and closed the file AGAIN. So I again reopened the case and asked them not to close the case until they see if the solutions they offer work and to look over info and what I have done so far and to please help me fix my problem. Now I don't get any answer since friday. This support is laughable!! I guess we know why the program is free. If given the option I will never BUY anything from adobe.

I have the same problem. I keep my MacBook stationary. I don't really carry it anywhere, and if I do I use a padded case and protect it well.
It's a first gen MacBook. It came with the old case. The old case cracked and stained, and I had it replaced (50 dollars).
Now, it's out of warranty, and when they replaced it, it wasn't the new style case. (fixed weak case tightening issues, cracking, and staining) It was the old style case. Once again it's cracked on the edges, staining badly (I constantly clean it using the recommended instructions from the website. It's white for about a few days...), squeaks, popping up on the edges, and feels really weak.
I don't know how to contact Apple to explain my problem without going to the store (bit of an issue right now). My MacBook has felt weak and fragile from the day I bought it almost 2 years ago compared to others who own one. The case replacement at first appeared to help, but it hasn't changed anything now. I haven't done anything to it.
