Help! I cannot "eject" my ipod from my computer - it's not under 'Devices'
Hello
I imagine this has been posted before, but I don't have the time time read through all of the past posts.
Can anyone help me find my ipod in itunes? I just downloaded the program, and I believe that I hooked my ipod up before it was all installed. Then logged into itunes, and was hoping to manage my music...however, now I am just wanting to eject the ipod as I've wasted too much time already.
Thanks
oh i forgot ! i also tried to push simultaneously the menu button and the lock/unlock one, but it didn't succeed

Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean. If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks
Hello, cgtyoder.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears. If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings. The article below will walk you through both these steps.

Problem from ejecting the iPod from iTunes
I don't know why that when I eject the iPod from iTunes, iTunes always show the command text to reject the eject of iPod.
The command show that "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains file that are in use by another appilcation.", so that I can't eject by this formal way.
Therefore, I post this to find someone help me to solve the problem.
Thank you.....!!!!Try ejecting it while your antispyware/antivirus software is disabled.

I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?
Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,

What is the easiest way to restore my ipod back to factory specs. It has a red circle with a red x in the middle,please help me to fix my ipod, until now i can't use my ipod..i tried all the procedures in Restore ipod from disk mode but still not working, please help me...
If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

I can't transfer photos to ipod from my computer
Why I can't syncronise photos to my ipod from my computer? If there's any song, I can't put photos, even with a lot of spaces. What is wrong?
Have you designated a "pictures" folder in your preferences? Have you added pictures to this folder? What happens when you try to add pictures? We're going to need more information about your problem before we can help.

Posting in the iPod forums? Read this! -
when you go to do this it say that your iPod or whichever device will no longer be backed up to the computer it is currently backed up to, what exactly does that mean? Will i not be able to sync my iPod from that computer? Please help me and answer either or both question detailed thanks
Normally when you sync your device it is automatically backed up to your computer as the first step in the sync process. When you choose to start backing up your device to iCloud, iTunes stops automatically backing it up on your computer when you sync. That's what the message is telling your; that you are now backing up to iCloud and not to your computer each time you sync. You can still manually back up to your computer any time you want by going to the Summary tab and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.
You can still sync your device as you did before, it just will no longer back up automatically when you do.
