"do not disconnect" and automatic vs. manual updates

today, i switched my ipod to disable automatic updating b/c there were songs (e.g. holiday music) on my itunes and ipod, which i wanted to remove from my ipod. but when ever since i switched to manual update mode, my ipod says "do not disconnect" and it must be manually ejected (dragging icon to trash before disconnecting from usb port). even when i switched my computer/ipod back to original settings (automatically update music versus manually update from itunes), my ipod still must be ejected manually and displays "do not disconnect". how can i get it to the way it was?
thanks in advance for any answers.

Michelle,
With iTunes open click on the iPod icon located at the lower right of the pane.
In the preferences you have the option to, "Enable Disk Use". If this is checked then your iPod is mounted as a hard drive. If you uncheck this box you will see the "Do Not Disconnect" disappear.
hope this helps.

  • My Ipod keeps saying "Do not disconnect" and the update ipod is not working

    Hi,
    I just got my ipod nano a couple of days ago and after loading the itunes and then plugging in the ipod i unplugged it when it said do not disconnect without thinking. Now when i plug in my nano it keeps saying do not disconnect and although the ipod symbol appears on the itunes, no instructions have popped up to explain how the music transfers even though it says it in the booklet and when i click file the update ipod button isn't clickable. I'm just wondering if there's anything i could do

    my husbands ipod mini had a similar problem awhile back and i did the same and it also was fine.

  • 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 latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!

    The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP Host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!  I use BlueHost webhosting that has a primary domain and I have several domains with that account (as sub-domains or folders on this server) - with past versions of Muse when uploading pages it simply opened an alert window to tell me (what I already know) that the website I was uploading does not point to the primary domain BUT NOW Muse tries to create a new separate folder in the root directory of the primary domain - completely ignoring the directory path I am giving it - useless!  Why make these senseless changes to the program - and so often - very frustrating it is like amateur ware!.

    Hi Stephen,
    There are some issues with the upload to ftp via Muse, which the engineering team is aware of and those will be fixed in a future build of Muse. At this point the work around would be to export the html from Muse and then upload via some third party ftp client like filezilla.
    I will recommend that you keep an eye on our release notes page to get more updates on it - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....

  • Do not Disconnect and Removable Sotrage Devie

    I have a Gen 5 Ipod with video and the Do not disconnect shows up but the Ipod doesn't connects to the computer and when I check it appears as removable storage device. I did everything the site said and still the problem persists

    Thanks for replying!
    The problem is that in the Ipod screen appears the "do not disconnect" and then when I check in "My Computer" it appears an icon of Removable storage device instead on what is supposed to be the drive for the Ipod

  • HP Ceement not working and continuous failure to update windows

    I had a troouble with the screen and had it replaced to LED, and after that, it came into my notice that whenever I startup my system, the dialog box showing HP Ceement not working pops up. Also, there are options with check online for troubleshooting, but it did not work out when I tried it.
    The another thing related with the issue (my guess only) is that, the original windows 7 home basic installed on the system is failing to get updated. the updates are identified and downloading also occurs. But, while installing, it always shows installation failed. This also seems to match approximately with the date in which I changed the display. So, is there any connection between the service done, and these two issues? and is there any way for me to rectify this?
    I also should inform you guys, there is absolutely no other issue with the pc.
    Thanks in advance,

    Unfortunately, AT&T does not allow installation of non-Market apps on any of its Android phones.
    You can find instructions online for using the "adb" developer tool to install non-Market apps, or you can wait for an upcoming beta release of Firefox which will be distributed through the Android Market, probably within the next month.

  • I had to reinstall Acrobat Standard 8.0.  It will not update and I cannot manually update it.

    The link to manually update to 8.1 does not work.  I'd like to update to 8.1.7.

    To manually update AA8, you can go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. Start your downloads with the most recent update and note what version is needed for that update. Then download back to the version you have. This process allows you to figure out which updates can be skipped. Then install the updates in order. You only need to reboot after the last update. If this is the process you tried, the other need is generally to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus.

  • Did not listen to 'do not disconnect' and now there's a noise and a sad ipo

    It all started when I was in a hurry and ejected my ipod from itunes. As usual, it was removed from the Source list but my ipod still said 'do not disconnect.' I unplugged it and left. Hours later I was at my friends house and plugged it into her laptop to get some of her songs. It wasn't recognized in her Source list and it started to make weird, loud, grinding noises. I reset it and the sad ipod face guy came up. I went to the support page and it said to fully charge it before anything else. So, all last night I charged it and it continued to make that horrible noise all night. I went back to the 5 R's and tried all of them. I finally went to restore it but it's showing that icon that means that it isn't charged enough for the computer to recognize it. Similarily, the ipod updater keeps asking me to plug in an ipod, even though it's plugged in. Now, every couple of minutes, as my ipod is plugged in to my comp via USB, the apple icon shows up, it makes that noise and then the sad guy pops up. What should I do? (I apologize for the length but there's just so much going on with this.)

    Strange noises are a telltale sign of hardware failure. If you want to be totally sure that your iPod is a baddie, reset your iPod, and when the apple logo is showing, press and hold the rewind and clicker buttons for several seconds. When you do this, the iPod should "chirp" and the apple will reverse. Now it's in diagnostic mode. After doing this, try to run the automatic tests. (note that when in this mode, the trackpad doesn't work, you have to use the rewind and fast forward buttons to go back and forth). Have iPod plugged in when doing this. If you end up with a sad iPod icon, then it needs to be sent in...
