Error message when disconnecting ipod

When ejecting my ipod error message comes up 'cannot disconnect ipod there is content being used by another application' .What is the solution?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried logging out of your account and back in? Or how about rebooting your computer to see if that helps?
I would also try resetting your iPod by pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Then try ejecting the iPod again.

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

  • HUGE Error Message When Syncing IPod!!!

    alright well first of all i have the new nano 4G ipod. Recently i added a TON of new songs, and apparantly i went over the size limit that my ipod could hold. In other words I had more songs on my itunes library than could fit into my ipod. I found this out when I tried to sync my ipod after adding all of these new songs. This is the error message I got: "ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    Now it gave me a temporary playlist before but i accidentally deleted so now I get this message. I really really really need help is there anything at all i can do I'm seriously going to die if this doesn't work soon =[

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

  • Error Message when syncing Ipod Touch

    Just had my computer rebuilt, I have installed Itunes 10 but I keep getting an error message when trying to sync my ipod which is "You don't have enough access priveleges for this operation". Any ideas on how I can overcome this? Thanks in advance

    You need to check your logon's access privileges in Vista. You may have to delete your current profile and recreate a new Admin profile to correct.

  • Error Message When Syncing Ipod "There is no disk in the drive ... "

    When doing a search on the internet for this error message, i see a few other previous posts on forums.ilounge.com with others having this issue with Itunes, but all I can find is someone talking about deleting the Itunes preferences files on my computer, and I did that, but that didn't help. I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas.
    I get this annoying message EVERYTIME I sync my Ipod:
    "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:".
    (Drive G on my computer is my Ipod when i have it plugged in). It doesn't seem to interfere with anything; all I have to do is click continue and the message goes away. But as I said, it's annoying, and I want it gone. I want to avoid reinstalling Itunes if I can due to the hassle of having to do so, plus previous posters on forums.ilounge.com said they did so an it didn't help. If someone can direct me to a previous string where this has already been discussed please post me the link. thanks!

    Hi there
    I am also getting this error message. One day my iPod was syncing fine, the next I was getting this error message. I have tried every conceivable drive letter, and still I get the message. i have also tried every drive on my computer, still the same message.
    I have restarted and restored the iPod several times, no change to error message.
    I shelled out £16.99 on a new sync cable, thinking that might help - but no, i still get the same error message.
    In addition, my iPod screen displays the DO NOT DISCONNECT sign.
    I seem to be able to perform a sync, but at the end, when iTunes says sync complete, the error message appears on my screen (incidentaly the header bar of the error message says: CorelLOMonitor.exe - No Disk) and the iPod screen continues to flash "Do Not Disconnect". This continues indefinatly and I have only been able to stop it by unplugging the iPod form the Sync cable.
    I really would welcome some assistance with this problem.
    Many thanks

  • Error message when connecting Ipod

    Ok, so I just got the 5th generation Ipod 60GB. and when i first got it it worked fine, i was able to download my music onto the ipod. now all of the sudden i keep getting this error message, two. THe first one says that Itunes has had an error and will be forced to closed. The other one says "the instruction at "0x7c809784" referenced memory at "0x8818cdoe". The memory could not be "written"" And this happens everytime I connect the IPod and causes Itunes to close. I have tried reinstalling Itunes, I have reset my Ipod, I just don't know what else to do! Help Pleaaaaaaaaaaase! I would be forever grateful.

    This is OS X's way of saying your iPod's hard drive (or RAM drive in this case) is corrupt. Or at least it thinks it is. Is the iPod playing music? If so the first thing I'd try is rebooting the computer, disconnecting and connecting the iPod's cable, and try again.
    If you select initialize (and you'll have little choice if the above didn't work) your iPod will be erased. After this is finished, run the iPod restore/update software and you should be able to sync it again.

  • 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.

  • Error message when syncing iPod

    I have a 2nd Generation iTouch and just recently when I go to plug my iTouch into sync, an error message comes up. It says "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have already removed and re-installed iTunes and am still recieving the same message. It was working fine at first but just not started to not be able to sync iPod to computer. What do I need to do?

    Same thing occurred to me today. Just restore your iPod. That seemed to work for me. There were suggestions to uncheck the option to display artwork, remove iPod, then to check it again and sync the iPod, but that didn't solve the problem for me.

  • Error message when syncing Ipod nano

    Every time I have tried to sync my ipod the last week or so, I get an error message saying the disc cannot be read or written to or Error 14-. When I tried to restore the Ipod, it could not even do that and I got an Error 1439. Can anyone help?

    There was a problem with my USB port connection. I was using a cheap multi USB port extender which had given me problems with my palm pilot as well. When I connected the IPOD directly to the computer I was able to restore and sync it.

  • ITunes sends error message when connecting iPod touch

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and I decided to reset it as it was having problems, and now it displays the connect to iTunes message like when I first purchased it. I connected it to iTunes like it wanted, but when I connect the iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the following error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "iPod touch" because an unknown error occurred (0xE000001)". I am not an uninformed person on these matters and have tried everything I can think of i.e. updating iTunes, using a different dock connector etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi Maxwell,
    This is most likely a USB connection issue.
    Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the computer, using the cable that came with it.
    If the issue persists, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
