'Do Not Disconnect" sign is on but.. its charged up???

As stated, my ipod is charged (with the plug sign on top right corner) but the 'Do Not Disconnect' sign is on. Here's my problem, I have no itunes on this computer that I was recharging my ipod on, AND I am not allowed to download itunes because I am on a work computer.I don't want to pull the plug because I am afraid to do damage to the ipod and laptop! I tried reseting it (hold off/on + menu/middle button thing) but after it starts up it immediately goes back to the 'Do Not Disconnect sign'. What should I do?
Last night my ipod froze so thats why I was recharging it. I think it froze because I hadn't disconnect it right an hour before. I thought it was okay to disconnect when the big battery charged sign showed up... but I quess not. Help!!!
Windows XP eh

The system tray is located at where the system clock shows up on the screen. By default, this would be the bottom right hand corner of the screen with start menu at bottom left.
If you have rearranged the position of the taskbar, then the follow situations can occur:
--> If the taskbar was moved to the top of the screen, the start menu is located at top left & system tray at top right.
--> If the taskbar is located on the left-hand side of the screen, the start menu is at the top left and system tray at the bottom left.
--> If taskbar is located on right-hand side of screen, then start menu is on top right, and system tray is at bottom right.
In the system tray you will find various icon that may include:
Volume control
iTunes
Instant Messengers currently open
Your Antivirus Software
Your Firewall Software
and many others
You will then want to find the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon within the system tray. Look for something with a little green arrow.

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Continuous "Do Not Disconnect" sign.

Hey, I hope you can help. Whenever I connect the cable to the iPod a "do not disconnect" sign appears. It goes on for hours. I'm using Windows Media Player to sync songs because iTunes wouldn't connect with my iPod since it told me to reinstall it and still nothing worked (and the iPod is recognized as My Ipod (F:) in Windows Media Player) and once the sync is complete, the "Do not disconnect" sign is still intact. When I remove the cable (thinking it's just a fluke) none of my songs appear. Please help!

This is a problem that I personally have and in digging around these message boards a lot of other people have aswell.
Do some searches for iPod not disconnecting that brings up a lot of messages, but glad somebody has actually started a thread for this. The usual answers everybody gives (and I think these are generally MAC users) is update the iPod software using iPod Updater, re-install iTunes, update all of your windows drivers.......I have tried all three to no avail. But maybe you'll get lucky.
iPod is designed to work with iTunes only - Media Player just transfers songs to the iPod's hardrive, which means that you can easily pull them off again, but the iPod can't actually play them - useful huh.....
I haven't had any problems with my iPod connecting to iTunes, it's the disconnect thing that bugs me, because it also causes my PC to crash - not in midrun, but it won't allow my PC to actually shutdown - I have to pull the power cord.
This is not always the case - if I dock my iPod without iTunes open, then it opens iTunes, updates and disconnects, no problems and windows shuts down just fine. If iTunes is already open or after automatically updating, I manually update again then the do not disconnect logo appears and will not go away. Everywhere I have read indicates that as long as the iPod is not physically updating (the little circle top left corner of your iPod or the red flashing icon in iTunes) then just pull it out and there will be no problem. It seems to work for me, but thats not the point though is it. When you spend $300 plus accessories you expect it to work with all platforms as promised. I am a little dissapointed as my PC is 3 months brand new out of the box and as far as i can tell I have updated every driver/chipset possible......
Anybody else with any good ideas.......I run Windows XP Media Center. XP's fine but the Media Center is crappy.

The Do not Disconnect sign and the Disk Mode

Hi. I fully understand the reason for the "Do not disconnect" sign and the disk mode, etc. However there are a couple of things that bug me. I prefer to keep my ipod permanently connected to a power source (USB port). Now, every time there's a USB event (connecting or disconnecting my mobile pone or USB memory) the "Do not disconnect" sign reappears and I have to go into iTunes again and eject the ipod to be able to use it. Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid it?

If you sync your songs instead of doing it manaully the do not disconnect sign will say ok to disconnect when its done updating.

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....

Have you tried resetting your iPod while connected? Then, unplug it, and connect it again.
Have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again?

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

Try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Try disalbing anti virus software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
I see you tried another laptop but try a different USB cable as well.

Not only a yellow screen, but its dark and grainy

There are so many fora discussing the yellow tinted screen. I got my really yellowish screen replaced and now I have a nice iPhone 3G with a yellowish tint BUT with white whites. The icons look great now! This is good and I gather that this is how it was meant to be. However, now that the graphics looks great in general - the multimedia graphics are still much to red/yellow and dark - that is album covers, films, photos and pictures taken with the camera. AND, since they are very redish-yellow the low keys in dark and neutral areas become much more grainy. I cant even use my photos like a portfolio anymore, compared to the old iPhone. The camera performance have always been quite good for a 2 mp camera, but now it takes quite bad pictures due to this fancy and deliberately made tint with grains as a result.

Thanks for reply, but no I have firmware 5A347. I have seen the screens of at least ten various iPhone 3G´s with that firmware and they look almost the same as mine - as described above. I think this is how Apple wanted them, but not to everyones pleasure. And as such its NOT the same screen as the first gen. iPhone as claimed during Steve Jobs presentation. At least mine is not, among many many others...

Adobe installer notes software is already downloaded-but its not.

I purchased Adobe CS3 for my MacBook in 2009 and now I just purchased an iMac and I'm trying to install the software via download to my new computer. The setup installer program is identifying that Indesign is already installed, but it's not. Before I downloaded the CS3 I had signed up for a free trial of CC Indesign , but cancelled it when I realized I could download the full CS3 Master Collection. I've gone through the applications folder and uninstalled CC and I don't see any place else that might have CC. I really need to get CS3 Indesign working on the new computer ASAP. Any ideas?
