Won't show up on mac and say "do not disconnect"

Hi, I've had my 60 GB iPod for about a year now and suddenly now it won't show up on my desktop when I plug it in. The iPod screen says "do not disconnect" though, and after I just pull it out the message doesn't go away and I have to wait for the power to die before I can use it again. Is it starting to break down?

Homer...this very same thing has happened to me today. Have you found a solution yet?

  • My ipod is saying do not disconnect

    Reset it. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

    Hello CTGame,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts?

    Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts possibly.  The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.

    Hi,
    Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
    It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
    Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
    If it does not use the Sign Out button.
    Then shut down the Mac
    On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
    I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
    It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

  • When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.  Not sure how to fix this.

    When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.
    I'm not sure what to do, I did not recieve a cd with my mac to boot it up (I ordered it online).
    Also I can't find my harware serial number (I've tried many times to input what I thought it may be from my receipt).  I saw that I need this number to contact apple support, my 90 day complimentary support is still valid so I wish to contact them.
    I don't know much about apple products as this is my first apple computer so any information is helpful.

    Hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your iMac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    From that choose to boot into OSX.
    Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.
    The new iMacs have OSX 10.7 Lion preinstalled and don't come with any CD/DVD anymore.
    Instead OSX Lion includes a new feature called "Lion Recovery".

  • My lumix camera won't show on my mac air

    My lumix camera won't show on my mac air when I plug it in, what can I do about this?

    Open iPhoto on your MacBook Air.  Hopefully you have the latest iPhoto version which is 9.4.2.
    Go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar).  Choose the "General" tab, and then "Connecting camera opens".  Set it to iPhoto.
    Exit iPhoto.  Connect your camera.  See if that helps.

  • I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

    I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

    Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
    Try this.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
     Cheers, Tom

  • My ipod classic keeps showing error code 1439 and says its corrupted and nothing on the site that it says to do is working has anyone else had the problem

    my ipod classic 160 gb keeps showing error code 1439 and says it is corrupted and i have done everything the article on it says to do and still reads the same thing. has anyone else had the same problem if so what can i do to fix it. the ipod is only 2 months old

    If it is under warranty, bring it in to Apple Store, most of our suggestions, comes from the Apple support site..
    Besides Restoring the iPod, there are winsocks which have conflict with iTunes, perhaps, disable those plugins and disconnect the Internet and stop antivirus, while you are Restoring or Syncing the iPod.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • When I try to buy an app it won't let me log in and says that I need to use another Apple ID on my iPad 2

    When I try to buy an app it won't let me log in and says that I need to use another Apple ID on my iPad 2

    Is your Apple ID set properly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores?
    If so, log out from there and log back in.
    If that doesn't solve it (it should), check Settings > General > Restrictions

  • I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I ended up having a one hour conversation with Apple Support which evolved to handing over control of my screen and then eventually having to use Terminal.  I wish I could remember the command but it's probably best I don't. 
    One thing we looked at right away was the account name used to dowload the movie.  Is it the same as the account name  you have saved on your iPad.  That's easy to check and would be great if that is all that's needed to correct.  Good luck.
    Here's also an email I got from Support that could solve your problem if it's not as difficult as my issue was.
    I would like to inform you that this issue can occur if iOS (your device's operating system) on your device needs to be updated. It can also happen if the computer you're trying to sync from has not been authorized to play purchases you are trying to sync.
    I suggest that you first see if updating iOS on your iPad resolves the issue. This article will walk you through the process:
    Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If there are still purchases that won't sync to your device after you update its software, I suggest reauthorizing your computer. To do so, follow these steps:
    1) Open iTunes.
    2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Deauthorize Computer.
    3) Enter your account name and password, then click Deauthorize.
    4) Now from the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
    5) Enter your account name and password, then click Authorize.
    Once your computer has been authorized, try syncing your device again. If the same issue happens, I suggest reviewing the following articles:
