Help!  My iPod will not stop displaying "Do not Disconnect"

I have had my iPod since December 2004 and sync with iTunes on Windows XP. I have had no troubles until I installed iTrip (FM transmitter). Now I encounter the problem that whenever iTunes updates my iPod, my iPod continues to display the "Do not disconnect" warning after iTunes says it's ok to disconnect. I have tried ejecting the disk, but it says it is using other files. The only way I can disconnect the iPod is shutting down the computer. I have reset the iPod and it continues to have this problem

I have tried ejecting the iPod mini, and I have made sure that using the iPod as disk was unchecked. Oddly enough, during this phase, the iPod does show up as a disk. Since this post I have found a way to get around the problem. I was using iTunes for subscribing to podcasts. I have stopped and delected the subscribed podcasts, and this seems to be working.

  • My ipod won't stop saying "do not disconnect"

    When I try to sync my iPod with my new computer, the computer acts like it is done sync-ing (I think), but the iPod itself never stops displaying "Do not disconnect"

    If apart from the "Do Not Disconnect" your iPod is working normally and updating then you probably have it enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
    Connect your iPod and in iTunes 6.x go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
    If you are using iTunes 7, connect your iPod and in when it appears in the source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Then under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync all songs and playlists. In Summary remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
    If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case check this link: Safely Disconnect iPod

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Music does not stop playing when I disconnect from USB in car

    When iphone is connected to car stereo, music does not stop playing when I disconnect the usb cable. If someone is calling me and I unplug from USB, all I hear in my ear is music...I cannot hear the person calling me. Not sure what's happened but it never used to do this. Any suggestions?

    Nseries phones have behaved this way since forever.
    I don't know any way to change this. Same behavior happens if you unplug your headset or headphones.

  • Ipod will connect to PC but not itunes

    Hey, I'm having a problem with my fifth generation ipod(30gb). When I plug it in to put music on it, a message comes up and says,"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." I have installed itunes 3 times and it has never helped with the problem. I also thought thought of updating my ipod or restoring it but im not able to because an "iPo service error" comes up when I start the updater. Please help.

  • Midi notes stop after half note

    hey
    i am making this song in which a midi cello is playing long notes. But when i go to record them, the notes stop making sound after half notes even if i am still holding the key. I have tried going in and editing them and placing them all by scratch in the matrix editor, but the sound stops before the bar has even finished scrolling over the note.
    Please help..

    Hi G,
    check if you have midi information under that track, delete,
    also check the even list to spot that info such note off
    commands after the note.
    See if your charing the same track or same midi track number.
    Under midi trhu window (left) gate time if you have some percentage
    take it off, I usually left mine at ( - )
    Hope this helps you,
    best regards,
    Jorge

  • Please Help! iPod will not sync!

    i plugged my ipod touch into the computer so i could transfer my purchases and it said "backing up ipod" so i waited a while and it finally finished. then it said there was an error and the screen on my ipod looks like this:
    http://www.myallo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/connect-to-itunes.jpg
    So i ejected it and put it back in. then the computer would not recognize my ipod and the connect ipod to itunes screen will not go away. i'm not sure what to do! please help! i would really appreciate any help because i need my ipod tomorrow night. thank you all so much :]

    Just to clarify, you have synched your iPod before, right? This has happened a few times with my touch, and I would just suggest restarting your computer and iPod (by holding down the hold button). Then try synching again. Hope it works!
