Do not disconnect won't come off AFTER ejected

hello, i just bought my ipod yesterday and already i think i have screwed up. i had the ipod connected to my computer last night so it could upload the songs and accidentlally fell asleep so i think the computer fell asleep. anyway, the "do not disconnect" symbol appears and will not come off. i've read several things that gave directions on how to "eject" and "safely remove hardware" and i've done both and restarted my computer, and the symbol still appears. i've tryed resetting it and that doesn't work either. what should i do?
  Windows XP  

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • How can I take something  I pasted off my  screen? It won't come off

    I was in my calendar trying to add something to a day and I pasted something and this won't come off my screen. I can not delete this thing. I have restarted the computer,logged out and I can't click on my calendar with this "pasted" thing on my computer screen. What can I do?

    This "thing" only pops up when I open the Calendar. So It is not in my  Desktop..Then I can't do anything with the calendar with this on the the screen. The only thing I can do is "force Quit" the calendar..I am using the calendar on my Airbook until I figure out what to do with the IMac. I was pasting something on a date in my calendar and that's how this got there. Any other ideas?  thank you Dominic for your answer...Randy

  • Weird Coating ... Won't come off 1 day old computer

    Hi All. I bought my macbook pro 17 " yesterday. Spent a fortune on it. I used it for the first time this morning and there is this weird coating on the bottom left side. I thought it was from my hands so I tried to wipe it off and it just smears and looks terrible. This was bought new at the Apple Store. I am upset. Is this normal? I will totally take it back to them because I didn't pay this much for an imperfect computer.

    Doesn't sound normal, my (15") MBP has no such coating/film that won't come off. Take it back and ask for an exchange if you're not satisfied with it.

  • 3G still won't turn off after hitting home and sleep button at same time. Any other ways to try?

    3G still won't turn off after hitting home and sleep button at same time. Any other ways to try it?

    And when you held them neither the red Off slider nor the Apple logo appeared?
    If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

    I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away. I have tried using water, glass cleaner, and glasses cleaner wipes but it won't come off. Is this some type of defect or is there some other way to clean it?

    Correct.
    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
    1)  Restore the Device as New...

  • Memory access door won't come off!

    I just got a lovely 4GB SDRAM combo and was raring to get it into my iMac when, d'oh, the access door won't unscrew! The screw turns, but hit a kink then keeps on turning without coming out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? And hopefully had it resolved.
    hopeful
    chimpboy

    Agreed.
    When I changed my memory I was a bit worried when the door did not just pop off after unscrewing. But all was well, i just need to get a thin blade screw driver (or knife) in the seam to pry off the panel. You should be able to do that with no problems.

  • 13" MacBook Pro Retina back cover won't come off?

    I purchased this MacBook Pro Retina on eBay. When I got it, I noticed a screw in the lower left corner is sticking out. So I went online and bought a screwdriver to tighten it up. When I got the screwdriver instead of just tightening the screw down I decided to unscrew all the screws and check out how the inside of the laptop looks. Well after I unscrew all the screws, the cover will not come off. It comes loose on the top where the hinges are but something is holding it down on the bottom? Also this laptop is 8 months old and it only has 19 battery cycles? Maybe the seller replace the battery and they messed something up? What should I do?

  • My I phone won't come off silent keeps saying I got headphones plugged in

    When you turn your phone on and off silent at the side I tried turning it on and turn the ringer volume up but it said that I had headphones in so it won't ring or play any media it only plays it I put my head phones in I check to see of it was the speakers by changing my ringtone on settings but it worked and played fine it's just that my problem is it won't come on loud and it says I have headphones plugged in?

    Blew down it, short and sharp - being careful not to spit!
    Then I think I twisted a corner of tissue paper tightly and wiggled that in the socket then blew again.

  • Desktop won't come up after update

    Hello,
    After today's update, my desktop won't come up anymore. When I enter my password in the login box, the sad face comes up telling me: “Oh no. Something has gone wrong. Log out try again”
    The first time when rebooted after the update, my desktop came up, but very slowly. And I noticed right away that my gtk themes and icons were not rendered properly. Then, I rebooted again and now my desktop won't come up.
    I dont remember all my updates but for sure 'xorg-server' and 'xorg-server-common' were among them. I dont know this is any use.
    During update I didn't have any error message.
    My system:
    AMD dual core 2.6
    Memory: 6 gb
    Video: Radeon HD 3600 (using open source driver)
    Desktop: Gnome 3.2

    In your "/etc/inittab" file, you probably have a line that looks like "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon". Modify this line to be "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon 2>/home/some_file". Then errors encountered should be printed to /home/some_file.
    jmak wrote:GDM wasn't part of the update and when I try to login typing 'startx' I get the message “command not found”
    Then you need the package xorg-xinit.
    I istalled 'xorg-xinit' and now when I type startx I get:
    “Fatal server error:
