Cant disconnect my ipod, help!

hi there, when i try to disconnect my ipod i get an error message..........
Ipod cant be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
What dose this mean and how do i find the application that is in use?
help please.
thanks jenk

Are you using antivirus/antispyware software? This is the likeliest suspect, modify your preferences to no scan iPods or external storage devices (assuming you are manually managing your music.)

    Have you been able to resolve this issue. I have the same problem since my computer crashed, and the tech support at Apple tried to help but couldn't. I can't believe it.
    Now I have all my music on my ipod that can't be transferred to itunes, and newley purchased music on my itunes library cannot be transferred to my ipod. Can anybody help?
    Thanks

  • HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

    When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

    The computer freezes?  There may be something wrong with the USB port.  If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port?  If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer?  Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
    You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub.  Something like this one
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply.  You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer.  This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected.  Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

  • Cant disconnect iPod. Files used by another app.

    iTunes will not let me disconnect my iPod because it says files on my iPod are being used by another app. I have my iPod set up to update manually because I have a few different music files on my iPod then in my iTunes music library and I dont want them deleted. Right now the only way I can easily disconnect the iPod is by the icon in the windows toolbar. Or is that what the manual means when it says you have to disconnect the iPod manually when the iPod is set up to update manually. I confused >.< Please help!!!

    Does this always happen when you connect your iPod? If not, and if you can disconnect your iPod by using the Remove Hardware icon in the toolbar, then it should be no big deal. Don't worry too much.
    Occasionally I also encounter this after I copied songs to my iPods. I don't know why but since I was able to disconnect using the Remove Hardware icon I do not worry about it and so far I have no reason to be worried. I use manual update as you do.

    <Edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your iPod's serial number address from your post.
    Only you can activate your iPod by typing in your id and password, or you can remove a device from your account via http://icloud.com . If you can't remember your account id then do you have any of its downloads on your computer's iTunes : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com . You can also reset your password via the 'iforgot' site, or you can contact Support in your country and they should be able to reset your password (as long as you can prove your id and that it's your account) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    iOS 7 and activation lock : iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    What if I forget my Apple ID password?
    If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
    If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
    Next
    - Try another cable       
    - 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.

  • "itunes cant read your ipod" please help :(

    my ipod died so I plugged it into my computer, like usual, to charge and when I came back there was an error message that read:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "mine". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
    so I did that, but then I got a new error message saying:
    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I'm connected to the internet though so I have no idea what to do and when I disconnected my iPod all of my music is gone, it's still on iTunes but I would like it back on my iPod
    any help would be appreciated!!

    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
