Click ok to disconnect after syncing

This might be a stupid question but I recently restored my mini and after syncing I get the message "Click OK to disconnect" but I don't see any ok button on the computer screen. Does this mean click on the center button on ipod? I tried that and it didn't work. Also now, I can't manipulate the songs on my ipod when it is plugged into my computer. The songs are in a faded text. Help!

Where do you see this message? On the iPod itself?
I've seen "Ok to disconnect" but never with the word "click" in front of it.
The songs are in a faded text.
That means your iPod is set to auto sync with iTunes.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

Won't disconnect after syncing

iPod won't disconnect after sync. Says it's in use by another program. How do I find out what program is using it and why?

A background anti-virus scanner is one possible culprit as are other programs that might scan the drive when it connects such as Google/Windows desktop search tools. You should also make sure all Explorer windows/dialog boxes are closed, e.g a folder view of the iPod or a dialog saying something like. "This disk contains different types of items, what would you like Windows to do...?" Use ALT-Tab to cycle between windows as you may not even spot this one is there... it can open up behind iTunes without any other sign on screen, particularly in Vista. You may even need to quit iTunes before you can eject the disk if it has not closed files properly. Your milage may vary, but I often have to wait up to a minute after closing iTunes for it to announce that it is saving it's library and it may not be until this point that it properly closes all of it's open files.

IPod disconnects after sync

My iPod keeps disconnecting after it syncs. I connect it to my iMac; it syncs; and then the icon on the desk top disappears. It is, however, still in the iTunes menu under devices. The reason this is a problem, is when I connect my iPod to use it with Backup (I use my iPod as a external hard-drive for personnel settings back-ups and such) it first syncs with iTunes and then disappears where as before it would be found by backup and start. I did just recently restore my iPod as a test to another problem I am having. My iPod won't charge on my HiFi. It charges on my computer and on my wall charger but it won't charge on the HiFi. I tested it on other HiFi's and it does the same thing, so it is not the HiFi. Besides, my wifes Nano works fine on the HiFi. Any help you can offer?

That's how it's supposed to work.
When auto sync is finished it dismounts.
If you wan to stay connected, select the iPod in iTunes, then tick Enable Disk use.
You will have to Eject the iPod when you are thru.

Nano 6g not disconnecting after sync.

System states it can not disconnect because another application is using its files

Change the settings on your antivirus/antispyware software to not scan your iPod.

Trying to eject my ipod from my PC after syncing b4 disconnecting but a msg pops up saying "ipod cannot be ejected becuz it contains files that are in use by another application

Trying to eject my ipod nano from my PC after syncing complete b4 disconnecting but a message keeps popping up "ipod cannot be ejected becuz it contains files that are in use by another application ?

Hi, arthur260, I presume you've solved this by now, but I came across this post looking for the same solution for my ipod nano. In my case the problem was that I had the box checked to "Enable disk use" under the options for the ipod. It immediately solved the problem when I unchecked this.

My ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on botht he computer and ipod, it rushed through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.

my ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on both the computer and ipod, it rushes through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.i restarted both and reset the ipod. i checked to see that the computer recognizes the ipod (yes) and tried to sync over wifi with the same result...(i am afraid to retore to factory original beacuse the problem is about transferring from th computer itunes to the ipod)

There is no good way for yur problem since iTunes sees the iPOd. Yu can ry removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
However, I suspect a restor, first try from backup, is required.

Outlook Mail + Contact + Calendar folders change after sync

I use Outlook and after sync with my iPhone my Favorite Folder list changes. The Calendar and Contact folder names appear in Favorites (not there before) and cannot be deleted by right click and selecting "Remove from Favorite Folders". I found that by rebooting my computer the two folder names disappear but so do all my folders I added to my Favorites list. The only ones remaining are the default ones; Inbox, Outbox etc. I have to then select and add the additional ones I require. Also, when I now click the Calendar button I see only the three month calendar on the left pane and the day calendar on the right pane...with no other options available and when I click the Contact button I get the Calendar choices and if I click one of those choices the Calendar button light up.
To access my Contacts I have to right click the Contacts button and select "Open in New Window". If I do the same with the Calendar button I get the same Calendar window as just by clicking the Calendar button.
Has anyone experienced this problem? How can I fix it?
This happens each type I sync. All the contact info and appointment info sync OK to the iPhone.

Hi,
I activated Exchange sync for contacts and also Mobile Me sync for Address Book in the first phase when I started to use my iPhone 3G. So I didn't lost any local contacts on my phone. Both Exchange and Mobile Me work on my phone simultaneously.
I can put Mobile Me sync off and those contacts will disappear from my phone. And when I re-connect Mobile Me, contacts sync fine back to my phone.
I have minor problem though, Exchange sync works fine from my phone to server and vice versa. But Mobile Me seems not to work from Address Book to Phone. When I do this disconnect - reconnect workaround I can get the results I'm looking for, but it's not that user-friendly and "it's only working"-type procedure to do.
Any ideas where could be the problem?

Error When Ejecting iPod After Sync

After syncing my Music Library to my iPod device, I clicked on the little "eject" symbol in the iTunes program window so that I could unplug my device. However, an error message popped up.
Error Box Title: mfac.exe - No Disk
Error Box Text: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D:.
After clicking either "Cancel," "Try Again," or "Continue" the same error box pops up a second time. After I make a second selection (and I tried all possible combinations of those three options), the window disappears and a new error appears.
2nd Error Box Title: iTunes
2nd Error Box Text: The iPod <my device name> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
The only selection in this box is "Okay."
Needless to say, the iPod does not eject, and now I can't remove it from my computer. I tried closing and reopening iTunes, and then restarting my whole computer, but the problem persists. I have never used my iPod to transfer any files other than a synced music library, or enabled the "use as removable storage" option.
I am using a Windows 8.1 and iTunes version 12.1.2.27 64-bit. My device is an iPod Classic with software version 2.0.1.
Thank you.

Hello kmorrell11,
It seems you are unable to disconnect an iPod from your computer successfully. That does sound troublesome. Is the iPod recognized in iTunes while connected? If so, you may want to consider restoring the iPod to factory settings. I have included an article with the steps to perform a restore. Once the restore is complete, you can attempt to resync media back to the iPod:

Unmount ipod after sync?

just a quick question for the proper procedure after syncing. is it necessary to unmount the ipod touch before unplugging it from the macbook pro?

I'm always pulling the plug without clicking on the eject icon after making sure that the sync has finished.
Since you can't use the iPod touch as a harddrive, like you could with the old ones, my OSX 10.6.8 does not bother how I disconnect.

Has anyone had trouble ejecting their ipod from itunes after syncing?

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.
