Error message when ejecting nano 6th generation

When attempting to eject my nano after syncing with itunes on a PC running Windows 7, I keep getting the message that it cannot be ejected because the device is currently in use, even though task manager shows no running applications. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?

Double check to make sure there are no services accessing the iPod Touch. This could include software such as antivirus or security related, or file indexing programs.

Error message when connecting Nano to computer - please help!

I just started getting an error message when I try to disconnect my Ipod Nano from my computer after it's done charging/updating. The message tells me the device can't be stopped because other programs are utilizing files on my nano.
I tried restarting my computer, but it froze. It's happened twice now and I have had to disconnect it when it says not to. Please help!

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

Importing CD - No Disk Error Message When Ejecting CD

Every since I upgraded my itunes to the latest version, I am getting an error message telling me there is no cd every time I eject my cd after importing. It gives me an option to retry, continue and cancel. No matter what I pick it does not recognize the next cd and my windows cursor is stuck in a rotating hourglass position even after I end the itunes program! Can anyone please shed some light? Thank you!

Thanks Bob! My problem was that I was following advice from elsewhere on the internet that said I should burn a DVD in UDF format when in fact just burning it using disk utility in ISO made it work. Thank you so much!

I tried this method several times and It gives an error message every time when start the process. The device is now in recovery mode. The iTunes version I have is 10.0.1.26. The device contain the latest version of iOS 6 update.
The following is the error message:
[ "The iPod "iPod can not restored at this time because the iPod
software update server could not be contacted or is temporareily
unavailable.
Please try again later." ].

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.

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.

USB Power Error Message When Connecting NANO

Windows XP Pro on desktop computer gave an error message that the USB port power too high or something to that effect. This has happened three times with Nano. Purchased the Nano only two days ago. I also connected the Nano to my Windows laptop to charge and it bucked the laptop battery and shut it down. Is this normal? Should I just return the Nano?

Normally the error you get is about the port not having enough power, so I don't know how it could be too high. Not sure what you mean by "bucked the battery" either, but it doesn't sound good. If it were me, I'd consider swapping the iPod for a new one to see if it's defective.

First Generation Ipod Nano gives error message when using Windows Vista

I have a dual boot PC running XP Home and Vista Home Premium. My three kids have Ipod Nanos. Each kid has their own user profile on the PC. The later generation Nanos (2) work with Vista perfectly.
The first generation Nano causes an error message when you connect the Ipod to the PC while running Vista. If you run the XP and associate the Nano with XP everything syncs perfectly with no error messages.
Conclusion: Early Nanos work with XP, but do not function properly with Vista.
Request of Apple INC. - Fix this to work with Vista, or send me a new Ipod free of charge.

All of the following programs should work with Vista.
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

IPod Nano 6th Generation Won't Eject

iTunes recognizes my new iPod Nano (6th Generation) and I can add music, playlists, etc. When I go to eject (both through iTunes or through Finder/desktop), the eject process seems to freeze and the iPod is not completely ejected. Furthermore, I have tried to restore the iPod through iTunes and the disk will just spin after decompressing the iPod software package. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes and still have the same issue. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to address.
Thanks.

Both itunes and ipod flash "sync in progress", then it stops and says sync complete, but no music was transfered. I restored the ipod thinking that was the issue, but it continues. I unchecked manually managing the music and in devices i unchecked "stop ipod from automatically syncing". What is wrong?
