Alert after removing iPod shuffle !

hello,
i get an alert from the os after removing my iPodshuffle from the usb-port, although i logged the iPod out! the alert says, that its bad to remove the iPod etc...but i logged out? Whats the matter?
Any answers?
Thanx, Simon

If by "logged out" you mean you clicked the eject button iTunes so that it disappeared, it could be that you then pulled the shuffle off the port before the Finder had registered the change. I got that warning the other day when I had a keychain USB drive attached to my niece's PowerBook, drug it to the Trash, the icon vanished from the Desktop and I pulled the drive from the USB port. Try waiting a second or two after ejecting before removing your shuffle from the port.

  • Keep  getting Keychain password changed alert after removing password

    I Keep getting a "Keychain password changed" alert after removing a user account password my mother applied to the account and then forgot. How do I keep this message from continuing to appear?
    I am not really sure how the keychain system works as I have never used it on my own Mac.

    keychain is where you store the passwords you use on various websites, in mail and other apps. I suspect you use it too. but it's normally quite unobtrusive.
    by default the password to unlock the keychain is the same as the account password. but this does not have to be and you can change it. when you reset the account password the keychain password was not reset. unless you can recall the old account password the old keychain is of no use to you. go to the folder homedirectory/library/keychains and delete the file login.keychain (or move it somewhere else). then log out/in. a new empty keychain will be created with the password the same as the new account password and you can start saving passwords in that.

  • Cannot remove iPod Shuffle from USB port

    I cannot physically remove iPod from the USB port on my Dell Latitude (Windows XP Pro). The device is recognized intermittently in My Computer. Powering the notebook off doesn;t solve the problem and I have done the "Five Rs".
    The deveice is physically locked - can slide it partially from USB prot, but it does not release.
    Any ideas?

    Wow!!! Take it to a Apple or Dell computer shop and hope they can remove it for you

  • Laptop won't boot after installing iPod Shuffle

    I got a new iPod Shuffle and I installed the software from the CD provided onto my laptop (Sony VAIO running Windows 2000). Now the PC won't boot at all, not even in safe mode.
    The boot starts out ok, but hangs forever with the Windows 2000 splash screen showing and the progress bar for starting up displayed.
    In safe mode, the last system driver loaded was mup.exe. I followed some suggestion found on other web sites but nothing seems to help.
    What has the iPod shuffle software done to my lpatop? How do I get the laptop to boot?
    I can boot from a floppy. I can run the recovery from the Windows 2000 CD, but still the laptop will not boot.
    Help!
    Thanks

    As in 1st post, there is no last 'good' configuration as it is a fresh install of XP. Rolling back will just get back the default windows driver which cannot support the Nvidia NVS card. My goal is to successfully install the Lenovo Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m driver.
    That said, could my problem lie with the XP version? The fresh install is XP SP0. If I update to SP3 do you think that will solve the problem (i.e. the graphics driver is written for later versions of XP)?

  • When I remove iPod (shuffle), I'm forced to restart computer

    I have seen some posts about iPods forcing a restart upon connection, but my problem is when I physically remove the iPod (after ejecting it), I then get a message from iTunes that I must restart my computer. The message is right, because everything is frozen up. This is the first time I've had this kind of issue with the iPod (it's a year old). I seem to recall having downloaded the latest version of iTunes right before this started happening. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Do you have any other USB devices connected?

  • TS1412 My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Thanks

    My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two in full and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this situation. Thank you very much.

    This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
    Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
    Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
    I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

  • My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    That's how it is supposed to work.  The library on your Shuffle is set to mirror your iTunes library on your PC or Mac.  So if you add some music and configure to sync to the Shuffle, removing it from iTunes, would also remove it from your Shuffle.
    The only way to avoid this is to set up the Shuffle for manual management. See the appropriate section in this Apple support document on how to manually manage your iPod's contents.

  • My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

    My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking.  I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on.  Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again.  I can't go forward or go back.  When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air.  I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing.  I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's.  I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem.  I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product?  It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

    I Just ran into the same issue:
    My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
    Then it would get stuck at the same place.
    I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
    re-synced my playlist and same issue!
    did a restore as described above - same issue.
    Solution in my case:
    one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
    So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
    After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
    So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
    - Deleted the song from the local library
    - re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
    - now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
    - re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
    all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
    hope that helps someone else....

  • IPod Shuffle no longer works after iTunes 8 upgrade

    I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the iPod Shuffle category so I'll post it in both places. I recently upgraded to iTunes 8 and I'm running OS 10.4.11. I have an iPod shuffle that was purchased new last December so I'm not sure what generation that makes it. It has always worked fine with iTunes 7 but now I can not get it to play. I can sync it with iTunes 8 and see that my songs and podcasts are there on the Shuffle but when I disconnect it and plug in the ear buds I get no sound. Nothing. I've tried to play with the volume, forward to different tracks, pause, play, etc. etc. Nothing. No sound coming from iPod shuffle at all now. It is charged up so that's not the issue.
    I should also say that my Shuffle was working fine just moments BEFORE I synched it with iTunes 8 for the first time.
    Is there a known issue with iTunes 8 and the Shuffle?
    Thanks in advance.

    After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
    All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

  • HT1941 Hi i have recently updated my version of iTunes in order to sync music from my macbook air to my new ipod shuffle. After a successful installation the application does not launch and I am unable to oepn iTunes of access my music! Someone please hel

    Hi,
    I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
    I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
    Does anyone have any other resolutions?
    Many thanks

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
    Thanks

  • My itunes will not recognize my ipod shuffle after installing Mcafee

    My itunes will not recognize my Ipod shuffle, I have tried almost everything Itunes has suggested including uninstalling and installing Itunes.  I am at a loss, the computer recognizes the ipod and assigns a drive to it.  When I click on the drive there are flies in it.  I have disabled the firewall, checked all firewall settings as suggested in previous forums.  I have tried deleting the temp files but that keeps getting hung up on a file that says it is in use.  I can stll use my ipod because it charges but I can not update songs etc.
    I contacted Mcafee but all they did was turn the firewall off (I could have done that myself).
    If there is any help I would appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Nadine

    The first thing I did in the morning was contact McAfee they turned the firewall off it didnt work so they said it wasnt their problem.  I attempted several other things using ITunes help but none of the solutions worked.  I would say it is something in my computer but the drive shows up in my files so the computer is reading the USB port.  I tried changing the drive but that didnt help.
    I cannot find a universal "OFF switch" in McAfee But I have turned the firewall off several times after many different attempts.
    I do not find an area where I can tell Itunes where the Ipod is in Windows Explorer, that would be helpful at least it could try to locate it then. You would think this feature would be available since Itunes would like us to purchase music through them to load on our equipment.  Since my computer does not recognize my Ipod there is no need for me to purchase music.
    Do I sound frusturated - I AM But I appreciate your trying to help.

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

    That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

  • Error 1429: IPOD Shuffle 2nd Gen won't sync or restore after itune9 install

    all,
    After installing itunes version 9 I plugged my shuffle 2nd gen into the port but it froze when I tried to sync, the shuffle had previously been working fine with itunes 8. I disconnected and reconnected and itunes promted a restore. This could not be complete and an error 1429 message was returned.
    After completting all the trouble shooting steps on the apple website the problem was still not fixed, and becasue I am using vista the iPod Shuffle reset utility wouldn't install.
    I have been reading of similar problems, so anybody who has a solution or news from the ellusive apple tech support it would be great to hear from you.
    regards
    Rich

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, all on that page and the linked pages. Very time consuming but it was working fine before loading itunes 9 so, it would be a waste just to bin the shuffle. Cheers
