Do not disconnect image not going away

I recently had my 160g ipod classic returned after having the play button fixed. Upon recieving it I encounted the problem that either we could only get the apple image screen or the do not disconnect (with the crossed circle) screen. When plugging it back into the computer the do not disconnect image would remain, yet the computer was trying to acknowledge it.
How should I go about fixing this?

I have had that same problem since beginning.
When it says Do Not Disconnect... DON't!
To a restart.
Lock on, of OK+Menu and hold it!
You may need to try it again.

  • DO NOT DISCONNECT SCRREN NEVER GOES AWAY!!

    Hey i have an Ipod nano, 2 gen i think, 2gb. When I plug it into my computer the "Do Not Disconnect" screen on my Ipod goes up, and even when it's done uploading that screen NEVER goes away, it still charges, but that screen doesn't allow me to listen to my music when it's charging. Can I fix this?

    Yes You can fix this easily. First let the Ipod download files from computor(known as sync), once it has downloaded, then click on the nano drive on the desktop, from the file menu click on eject nano or use the apple key(next to space bar) along with the e Key, push these two bottons at the same time. after the nano drive symbol disapears from the desktop, the do not disconnect will be replaced with a charging sybol, and you will then be able to play all tunes on your nano while it's being chared. When the nano is charge it will change the nano display to an electrical plug. Have fun!

  • "Do not disconnect" image is frozen on screen

    My 30 GB video iPod has been working fine up until today, when it would not appear on my computer. Frustrated, I stupidly disconnected it, and since it has been frozen on the "Do not disconnect" image, and the time I plugged it into the computer. I have taken all the appropriate measures to fix it (i.e. the 5 R's, etc.) however, nothing has worked, I am currently charging it wiht a wall charger, hoping it will magically fix it!!!! Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You!

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes. Also iPod seems disabled/locked showing  "do not disconnect". Not responding to anything. Any help please.

    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.
    try this http://www.copypod.net/

  • 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 same thing happened to me yesterday after downloading the new itunes 7.1.1 the do not dissconnect would'nt go off and computer and itunes would'nt reconize my ipod video.
    so i left it alone overnight to empty battery completely.
    the do not disconnect was gone in the morning then i recharged it and plugged it back in to computer and everything is fine. i don't know why it froze on me.
    my husbands ipod mini had a similar problem awhile back and i did the same and it also was fine.

  • "DO NOT DISCONNECT" WILL NOT GET OFF MY SCREEN!!!

  • Frozon "Do not Disconnect" image and cannot restore

    My iPod is frozon on th "Do not Disconnet" image and mt ipod is corrupt so i need to restore it yet i can as it comes up with an error saying "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod "ipod". the requested resource was not found." any ideas i really need help cause i cant listen to any music on my ipod as it is frozon and cant restore
    Geo

    I held the "Menu" button along with the center button
    for about 6 seconds (as they state you should) and
    all of the sudden the screen finally broke from the
    "Do not disconnect" screen and began charging, now
    everything is working as it should.
    Oh my gosh, thanks so much, that did it! I, too, did not know that the "Select" button is the middle. And in fact, in all my prior repeated attempts to re-set my iPod, I had made a point of trying NOT to press the middle, but just the Menu button and the bottom button at the same time (since I thought that the bottom/play button must also be the select button). (Why did I think that? Answer -- because the 5R's instructions seemed, I mistakenly thought, to be saying to be careful not to touch the middle. I guess not. If anybody at Apple is reading this, please note that people like me can easily confused by unexplained verbiage like "Select button," apparently. Please consider tweaking the 5R's instructions to explain this to others.)

  • IPod Do Not Disconnect Does Not Go Away

    I'm having a problem with my iPod. I was charging it on my computer, and when I came back to check on it, my computer for some reason was trying to restart but was locked up. My iPod also said "Do not disconnect." I couldn't unlock my computer with out disconnecting my iPod. However, now that I have, the "Do not disconnect" message will not go away. If I connect the iPod back to my computer, it doesn't seem to recognize my iPod. It doesn't show up in iTunes or under My Computer. I'm not sure what to do.

    Try this. Turn the "hold" button on, then off. Then, hold down the center button and the "menu" fuction button at the same time. Hold for a few seconds. this should reset your ipod and you can use it.
    Whenever you connect your ipod to your computer...the "do not disconnect" message will appear. You can still update and such while this message appears. But before you unplug the ipod, you must first "eject" the ipod...there is an icon for such purposes on the itunes main page. On the bottom right corner...you should find it. Just place your cursor over the icons and you'll see one that says "eject ipod".
    Worked for me!

  • Do not disconnect message wont go away

    I have the do not disconnect message on my ipod when plugged into my comuter (windows XP). However, the computer says the update is complete. I have reset the ipod several times. Still get the message and when I try and disconnect (by clicking on the ipod icon) it says cannot disconnect because some files on the ipod are in use by other applications or something. Pls help.

    Hi,
    I have been suffering from the same problem, in that I continue to receive a 'do not disconnect' warning on the iPod (4gb nano). iTunes will not eject, nor will windows (as per apple disconnect instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135).
    I have found that MacAfee is the culprit in my case. I am using Virus Scan 10.0 and it seems to keep open handles on files in my iPod drive (although I don't use that functionality).
    To release the iPod I have to briefly disable the virus scanner:
    * Right click on the MacAfee security center icon in the system tray
    * Choose VirusScan -> Disable
    * After a few second the Do not disconnect disappears from the iPod
    * Right click on the MacAfee security center icon in the system tray
    * Choose VirusScan -> Enable
    I think that MacAfee & Apple need to collaborate to remove this bug.
    Good luck and I hope this works for you.

  • Do Not Disconnect Will Not Go Away When I Plus IPod into Computer

    I have had my Ipod 30gb for some time now and i was using it earlier today just fine. Then ITunes froze on me so i say okay i will ctrlaltdelete and re open. Now when i plug my ipod into my computer (using a USB 2 and original cable) it will not recognize my Ipod and being plugged in and the ipod screen read "Do Not Disconnect" and will stay there. (Its been on that screen since i started looking up ways to fix it)I re-installed Itunes and when i plug my Ipod into a friend computer it reads mt Ipod just fine. What can i do to make my ipod stop this non sense so i can continue updaing it with new songs.
    P.S. My Ipod works just fine when I unplug it from the USB.

    If iTunes isn't ejecting the iPod correctly, you can do it through the My Computer menu. Open My Computer, find your iPod, right click, and press 'eject'. It works the same as if you ejected it wil iTuunes. If that dosent work, try the 'safely remove hardware' program in the toolbar that appears when you plug the iPod in.

  • 'Do Not Disconnect' Doesn't Go Away

    Pretty self explanatory.. When I connect my Nano to my computer now the 'Do Not Disconnect' message keeps flashing... Why?

    hiya!
    when the ipod is connected and showing up in your itunes source list, go "edit > preferences" and have a look in your "ipod" tab.
    are either "manually manage songs and playlists" or "enable disk use" selected? if so, what you're seeing is normal. the ipod will flash that until you eject it in itunes.
    love, b

  • Do Not Disconnect won't go away

    Everything on my iPod 30 gig was wonderful until I bought a new Nano for my granddaughter. To get her started I bought some songs and transferred them using my computer. To do this, I had to change the settings on her "guest" computer to manual.
    I know, I know. I've since called and found out how to set up separate profiles in XP. Cumbersome but it works.
    I've reset my iPod to automatic update and I've finally gotten it to update automatically again. But while my desktop now says "okay to disconnect" my iPod keeps the "do not disconnect" icon until I just unplug it. I've checked all the settings and they seem right. Ejecting does work, but it used to disconnect automatically.
    Any ideas?

    sometimes my ipod doesnt eject when i press the eject button in itunes either. thats when i go into "my computer" and right click my ipod and select eject from there. that usually does the trick.

  • "do not disconnect" and not recognized by iTunes

    I have read these discussios and I can see I am not the only one who has these same problems, but I have not gotten any answer that would have helped me.
    I just bought a new iPod Nano 4Gb, I had a 2Gb version and it worked just fine, not even one problem with it. But stupid of me I wanted a bigger one. When I plugged it in it wanted to update itself, but somehow in the middle of the process my computer booted itself. So when it had rebooted, iTunes did not recognize my Nano and updater kind of freezed.
    And now I have tried every single thing in the list that could help. But my Nano just shows this "do not disconnect" thing.
    I do not know what to do. Should I just return my lovely Nano to the shop I bought it from or is there some trick that could bring it back to life?
    Oh yes, I have not been able to restore the software because updater does not work, it just freezes everytime, I have reinstalled it a dozen of times, even with different languages but not even that helps. Nano's Icon shows in My computer but I can not touch it because it just goes "does not respond". If I take my Nano away from my comp it works just fine, even if there is no music or anything in it, but as soon as I connect it, it just does this "do not disconnect" thing.
    Help me, I don't know what to do
    iPod Nano 4Gb Windows XP Pro

    I answer to myself
    So I took my nano to the store and they gave me a new one, just saying that they had had a couple of those same problems with iPods. So I got the new one and wisely enough I reinstalled first iTunes and updater so that nothing would remind of the player that didn't work.
    But when I plugged it in the same text appeared "do not disconnect" I could have cried. I thought it would go away if I just waited. Well it didn't. But different from the last time I was able to use Updater and I did see what was inside my iPod in My Computer. So now I just cleaned my temp folder and used the Windows Install Clean Up and reinstalled iTunes.
    And after rebooting my comp a miracle happened, iTunes recognized my nano and I was able to transfer music to it. I am so happy!

  • "do not disconnect" does not disappear, computer does not recognize ipod

    Hi, if someone can help me, I will be eternally grateful, as I have been struggling to fix this this for a while now.
    The problem began when, one day, iTunes decided to not recognize the ipod and would not update any songs. (By the way I use windows xp on a dell laptop.)
    I tried resetting the ipod, and using a different usb port and both did not work.
    Then, I uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes, and the ipod software, then reinstalled everything again (all the newest versions). This didn't do anything.
    After that I went to start > all programs > ipod > ipod updater 3.23.2006, in the attempt to restore the ipod and just erase everything. However, when the screen shows "plug in an ipod to update it," the update and restore options never become available. This is the main problem - I need to get that restore option available.
    I changed the ipod drive letter as well. And if this helps at all, the ipod still works when I unplug it from the computer. But when I plug it back in to the port, again all I get is "do not disconnect."
    I am trying to give as much information as possible, so, if this is important too - when I go to Manage under My Computer, and then Device Manager, anything regarding an ipod does not show up.
    If anyone can take a moment and help me out, I would really, really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

    I'm having almost the same problem. I get USB device is not recognized. I have a mini, using XP Pro SP2, IBM Thinkpad.
    Here's the thing. This mini used to work just fine on my computer. As a matter of fact it will work on every other computer I plug it into except this one. In fact I tried two other ipods that work just fine on other puters but not mine. Obviously there's a prob with the config of the puter. There must be a silver bullet here I just don't know what it is.
    Here's what I tried.
    1. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and ipod updater
    2. Ran my spyware tool per advice here ... caught some spyware, but nothing that helped me
    3. Unchecked the power management in Root Hub of device manager
    4. This is one that got me somewhere for a moment ... I went into device manager and disabled anything that said high speed, advanced, or 2.0 under USB Devices ... after that my ipod was recognized, but I received the warning that it was a high speed device connected to a non-high speed port ... per instructions on this forum I then put the latest iTunes and used the most recent ipod updater ... after that I re-enabled the high speed and now it won't recognize again
    I'm sure I did a bunch of other crap that did not work, but I think the fact that it recognizes when I disable the enhanced/2.0 hub should point to something specific. I'm going to compare settings with the countless computers my pod works on, but until then if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it.
