Error message when trying to disconnect ipod

I just got my ipod yesterday and I kept getting the do not disconnect message on the screen. I finally figured out that I had to disconnect it. When I did I got a message saying the ipod couldn't ejected because it contains that are in use by another application. I don't know what I am supposed to do. Please help.

  • ITunes Error Message when trying to eject IPod

    My Ipod Classic (30GB) gives me an error message when trying to eject:
    Any ideas other than "Restore Ipod"? I did this and it worked afterward with another ipod but I don't want to have to do this all the time! Thanks to anyone who can assist.

  • Keep getting error message when trying to eject iPOD nano

    When trying to eject iPOD, getting error message ..."cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". No other application is open but iTUNES. What does this mean? and are there any tricks to get it to eject?

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go

  • Error messages when trying to sync iPod

    I get an error message when syncing my ipod touch 4th generation saying that it could not start a Sync because a sync was already in progress, which is untrue...

    I would try rebooting your computer. To be more confident, I would also reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod Updates with error message when trying to upgrade iPod software

    We now have 3 iPods (2 3rd generation, 1 2nd generation), which are sync'd with a single iMac (running Leopard) with different checked play lists. When either of the 2 3rd generation iPods are attached, it indicates an upgrade is available (v1.1) but when selected indicates "problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod x. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    What configuration change is needed?
    Thanks in advance, Neil

  • Error message when trying to disconnect-help!

    I just traded in my really messed up mini for a nano. I installed the new software, and plugged in the nano, and the playlists seemed to transfer over fine. itunes says it is ok to disconnect, but the nano says do not disconnect. So I clicked the eject button and itunes gives me a message that says "the ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". What the heck does that mean? No other programs are open on the PC. I am afraid to just unplug it and break it even before I've even gotten to use it! HELP!!

    Shutting down your computer with the iPod connected is fine. The message you're getting just means there's something using your iPod, and it won't stop the communication, so you can't disconnect.
    You could also try this:
    Open MyComputer
    Find your iPod under Devices With Removable Storage
    Right-click on it
    Click "eject"
    See if this allows you to disconnect... if not, just shut down your computer, and then you should be able to disconnect your iPod. It's hard to say if you're going to get this message everytime you want to eject the iPod... it depends on what it is that's using the iPod.

  • Error message when trying to update ipod software

    I have OS 10.3.9 but am getting the following message...,
    You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires OS 10.2.8 or higher. Please advise. Thanks.

    If you're trying to install the updater onto your iPod directly, you can't. Instead, install the iPod updater onto your hard disk, and then open the /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater folder. There should be one or more copies of the iPod updater inside this folder; double-click the most recent copy. Once the iPod updater has opened with the iPod plugged in, click the Update button and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update. If you get a message telling you the updater couldn't find a firmware image, choose the Update iPod command from the Options menu to continue with the update.

  • Error message when trying to update ipod.

    Sorry but this has never happened to me before. I had accidently deleted everything off of my ipod when doing a re-format of my HD. I re-formated the ipod thinking it was a ill-created partition of my HD.
    Now when I go to put in the new software update it says it cannot mount ipod. This is the message I got after using the "restore" button for ipod updater. as it would not just allow me to update. What is happening and do I need to find firmware for the ipod?

    Okay.
    See if you can do any of the steps listed here or in the related documents...
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point
    I doubt that you will be able to without getting the Can't Mount iPod message, but it's worth a try!
    If it still won't work, your iPod may need service...

  • I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

  • Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor

    Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor "live stream" on cameras from computer.  Anyone else have this issue?  Any suggestions on how to fix?  I have reconfigured each camera with the router but still having the error message.  I have a total of three cameras....(1) is wired and (2) are wifi......I am getting this message with all cameras (both wired/wifi).

    Is this an intermittent error that you get now and then, or were you able to successfully setup your cameras, then one day you got the "line disconnected" on all cameras since that point and on?
    If this is an intermittent problem, I can share that I experienced the same thing the first two days of having setup my cameras.  It seemed that my Gateway was communicating with the Verizon servers pretty heavily as I was getting my HMC first setup.  However, starting on day three and on, it has worked very well.
    The only odd thing I'm experiencing now is that I getting several "camera_detected" messages in the activity logs.  All my cameras show up in the My Devices list, and I can view them either as a snapshot or as live streaming, however, the log makes it seem that there is a mystery camera connected somewhere that I don't know about.  I have a call in to Verizon regarding this and hopefully will get an answer in the next couple of days.  It's not hurting anything, just kind of annoying to sort through those entries as you're going through your Activity Log.

  • TS3694 getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my itouch. All PC software is currect, I have disconnected all USB ports and even turned off all security and still get a 3014 error. I got this after I upgraded to IOS 10.7.0.21

    I am getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my iTouch after upgrading to 10.7.0.21. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.My PC is current with upgrades, I have unplugged all USB connections and I have disabled my firewall security.

    Did you try this:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

    I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
    "The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
    Never seen this one before.
    I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
    Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
    By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
    Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?
