  • Can't load new songs, constant "do not disconnect" message

    I got a 5th gen iPod for my old mac mini seeing as how the 6th wasn't compatible. When I first hooked it up to charge, it downloaded every song on my iTune. Later, when I tried to add some more songs, the iPod kept flashing the "do not disconnect" message. Also, in iTunes, it keeps showing me the "Welcome to Your New iPod" display. I went through and registered it and signed up for the iTunes store and it keeps showing up. Whenever I try clicking the "register later" or "never register" buttons, nothing happens and it goes right back to the screen. Is there something I'm missing?

    i wanted to follow up. i was getting ready to sell my ipod on ebay, so i hooked it up to my roommate's computer, which i worked on just fine, and erased all the songs on it. these were the songs it automatically uploaded from my itunes when i first plugged it in. i then decided to give it one last try on my computer, i was shocked and amazed to find that it works perfectly fine now. not sure what the problem was but wanted to let everyone know in case someone else had the same problem.

  • Can't get rid of "Do Not Disconnect" message

    I don't have a 5th generation, but this was the only forum I could find to post. My iPod is two years old, but it's never given me a problem until now. Everytime I connect it to my computer, all I get is the Do Not Disconnect message. I've tried ejecting it, and plugging it back in. It reconizes my iPod because it offers me updates. But, I can't get it to update.

    Do Not Disconnect error message
    This is a standard message when you connect the IPOD to the computer;
    When you’re connected you should use your computer to interface your IPOD;
    The Do Not Disconnect error message means you should not physically disconnect your IPOD until it been Ejected through ITunes or in my case by using Windows and going to My computer and right clicking on the IPOD drive and then Ejecting it.
    The sign Do Not Disconnect error message is normal.
    Go back and read your installation material.
    Hope this will help you to understand!!!

  • 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.

The iPod never appears to be finished with updating even though iTunes software states that the update is complete (“Do not disconnect” message never stops flashing on iPod).

  • My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?

    My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?  Anyone else having these issues?

    There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
    If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

  • Not displaying in PC or Itunes but frozen on "Do Not Disconnect" message

    When I tried to sync my year old 5th generation iPod this morning, nothing happened. iTunes is not showing it, neither is my computer but yet now there is a frozen "Do Not Disconnect" message on the iPod's. screen. Since iTunes won't recognize my iPod, I can not eject it properly. So here it's sitting connected to the USB cord.
    Help would really be appreciated.

    Try Resetting your iPod. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display: iPod isn't responding it appears to be frozen

  • Message is not going to XI in SRM- MDM scenario

    hello,
    We are doing SRM_MDM scenario.
    We have installed SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 Business Contents on XI.
    But i couldn't see any Outbound Interface in these standard contents.
    I want xsd for CatalogPublicationRequest_Out.............. where will i get that (transaction) ???
    Also when i execute the Report ROS_SUPPLIER_SEND_TO_CATALOG in SRM, I could see my message( CatalogPublicationRequest_Out ) in SXMB_MONI of SRM.
    But its not going to XI...............I can't see it in SXMB_MONI of XI.
    That message in MONI of SRM have Sender but Receiver field is blank.
    May be because of this is it not going to XI.
    Please tell me the steps that i need to follow.
    Help will be highly appreciated.............. its urgent
    Thanks in advance
    Maheshwari.

    Hi Hi Maheshwari,
    Sap has shipped the preconfigured proxies for the transaction.
    ROS_SUPPLIER_SEND_TO_CATALOG.
    you can get the complete business Pack and related docs for SRM_MDM Catalog on the Service market place.
    you need to Import of PI Business Content for SRM-MDM Catalog in Integration Repository
    For that Place PI content file (XI_7_0_SRM_MDM_CATALOG_1.0_00_00.tpz) in directory “/usr/SAP/xid/sys/global/xi/repository_server/import”. This Content file can be found in Business content Import of PI Business Content for SRM-MDM Catalog in Integration Repository.
    But first before importing above file.
    You have to configure SLD Connections in which:
    1.Defining Technical System for SRM Server, MDM and SAP PI.
    2.Creating Business systems for SRM, PI and MDM
    u also need to do Configuring Setup for ABAP Proxies:
    1. use Transaction SM59 for creating RFC destination for HTTP( TYPE H) where u Specify Host Name of the PI server, Service Number and Path Prefix  in Technical Settings tab.
    2. u also need to configure SRM System as Local Integration Engine. For this enter transaction SXMB_ADM .
    HOPE IT WORKS,
    Thanks,

  • Do not disconnect not going away

    I have a 60 gb video ipod. I have been uploading songs to my ipod before and all of a sudden, it stopped putting them on my ipod. I would watch it transfer in itunes but as soon as i took my ipod off the dock the songs wont be on there.
    And another thing. I have to manually eject my ipod now because the do not disconnect screen never goes away even after it says update complete in itunes.

    I have the same problem with my ipod nano. Itunes will not consolidate my library, new music will not transfer to my ipod, and whenever I connect my ipod, the "do not disconnect" never goes away. I have already reinstalled the program and I'm still having this problem. How can this be fixed?

  • "Do Not Disconnect" Message Won't Go Away

    I have the new iPod video and I also have the new iMac. When I had a PC, I'd never had this problem but now I do: After I eject my ipod, the "do not disconnect" message continues to appear as if it's still updating. I have ejected it using iTunes, Finder, the Desktop, EVERYTHING and the message still remains. Then when I try to disconnect it, the "device removal" error shows up. How can I fix this problem!?!?!
    When I had my PC, my iPod would automatically eject after it was done updating. Someone please help! This is my third iPod video and I hope this one isn't faulty as well! Thanks.

    Hello, and welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's try a restore of the iPod to the factory settings...
    Restore your iPod using the latest iPod Updater.
    Important: Please note that restoring an iPod will erase all songs and files on your iPod and restore it back to its original settings. Make a backup of any files on your iPod before restoring it. After restoring, you can transfer your music and files from your computer back to your iPod again.
    First get the iPod updater, available for free on the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/).
    Once you have downloaded that software, open the application, plug in your iPod and click "Restore". This will take a minute, after the ROM chip in the iPod has flashed, you will see the iPod screen, and there will be no music on the iPod. It is as if the iPod is new. Connect the iPod once again to your Mac, and run iTunes.
    You will most likely have to re-enter a name for the iPod and go through the basic iPod setup again; and then your music will Sync.
    Hope this helps,
    Cory

  • HT1386 How do I sinc my ipod to my laptop?  It is not doing it automatically as it has in the past.  I am only getting a "do not disconnect" message on the ipod.

    I cannot get my ipod to sinc with Itunes.  All I am getting is a "do not disconnect" message on the ipod. 

    Hello, PWSample. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would suggest a reset to see if you are able to dismiss this message and process a sync.  Here is the article on how to process a reset.

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.
