Ejecting ipod from the pc

here is what my pc states when i try to discconnect:
the ipod cannot be ejected beacuse it contains files that are in use by another application.
steps i took
1-safely remove hardware(results no good)
2-ejecting from i tunes(results no good)
3-going into expolre ejecting from there(results no good)
4-shutting down windows(results good, of course the computer is off)
i tried to read the forum but could not find any results and the forum
seems compilicated as to other forums hard to search for the exact question

It's not clear what you are actually doing.
The normal procedure is eject using iTunes, wait a few (about 3) seconds, and the iPod shows the "Its safe to disconnect" message with a white progressing bar below. You can disconnect the iPod at any time from then on.
If you missed the message (lasts about 1 minute), what you see is the normal iPod menu, the one seen when it is not connected, and in fact you can use the iPod normally while it keeps charging from the USB port. After a while the screen saver kicks in and you see the big battery charging.
I mentioned iTunes version because Vista had a bug, then iTunes had a bug, the latest version works around the Vista bug. Perhaps you are still running into the Vista bug.

Cannot eject iPod from iTunes Window

When I try to eject my iPod from the iTunes screen I get a "Windows - No Disk" pop up error saying that there is no disk in the drive, put a disk into the H drive. I also get an iTunes message alert that The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application. I can see the iPod name in Windows Explorer and I can safely eject using the XP Window's "Safely Remove Hardware" feature, but I want to fix this problem and free up whatever file that is being used by another application.

Are you using any third party applications to access/manage your iPod. I know that Red Chair Anapod causes this conflict with iTunes and I'm sure that other applications do to. Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling the latest version.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I can charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv No other way at the moment and running low on battery Thanks

Yes if the port puts out enough current (about 1.2 amp (500 ma). If less it may not show charging when the screen is on but it will charge, but slowly with the screen off.

When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod. However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password that no one remembers

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password and no one remembers it. I am not an expert ( or even close) on the itunes stuff so I have tried everything I can see.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password after erasing to be able to restore the device:

Control iPod from the computer

Hi all;
I have an iPod Mini connected to the Hi-Fi and to the computer via USB. I would like to control the iPod from the PC, so I don't have to stand up every time I want to change the song. I don't want iTunes to play iPod's music through computer speakers, just make iPod play things as normal with the PC. Do you know if it is possible with iTunes or there is any kind of software that makes it?
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

The five number is the number of computers that can authorized to use a single iTunes account. You can syncan unlimited number of iDevices t one iTunes account. You need to find one of the five computer that you not longer want authorized for the iTunes account and then deauthorize that computer. If you computer crashes and you have to reinstall the operating system the "old" installation still remains authorized. To cover that case Apple allows you to deauthorize all computer one a year so then you can authorize the needed computers. See:
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization

When you order a iPod from the online store what packaging does it come in?

When you order a iPod from the online store what packaging does it come in? Does the iPod box come in a box? A bag of some sort? Is there any extra protection? Because I've seen on TV the video of those sorting plants, and they treat those packages like there trying to break whats inside.

Hi! I just received my new 80gb iPod today and it came in an iPod box, and it's very secure in the package. I had no problems with the way Apple packages the iPods.
I'd hope if your ipod came broken Apple would either exchange or refund the item.
Cheers.

My 160gb ipod classic messed up today when I was ejecting it from the computer and now when I turn it on a red x comes up telling me to go to support. It also is making a weird clicking noise... Any help?????

Hi! my ipod broke today after I tried to sync it. There is a red error message on the screen and it makes an obnoxious clicking. Any help??

i've had this same problem on my 30 gig 5th generation. about a year ago, i had the same problem, called Apple support, they wanted me to pay about $100 to fix it with no guarantee that it would work. I left it alone for a long time (months), charged it up again, clicked it on and it worked. Just a few days ago, I got the clicking sound again. I don't recommend this but, after pushing the menu and center buttons simultaneously and trying to charge the Ipod, I finally whacked it between my hands a few times and it stopped clicking. I charged it, then plugged it in to my computer. I got an error message "1437", which they recommend restoring the IPod to the factory settings. This wiped out all the stuff stored on my device. Now, I have to figure out how to get the stuff back on and avert the 1437 error message.

Error message when ejecting ipod from itunes

WHen i press eject next to my ipod in my library, an error message pops up stating "the ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." What does that mean and how do i make it go away without messing up my ipod? ANyone have answers?

Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
Some anti-virus security software (particularly McAfee) can also cause a problem, and if you have this you might want to try turning it off and see if the iPod then ejects correctly.
