Try Resetting your iPod. Hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display. Have a look at this link as well:

Help Please! "Do not disconnect" msg. Can't even get to Restore option.

My 5g 30g video is stuck on the screen "Do no disconnect." I have tried to reset using the hold and the top and bottom buttons. I have also tried to plug and pull it up iTunes, but it isn't recognized. Thus, I can't restore. I can't get it into data mode either. I have even tried to safely remove hardware on my computer as well.
I think I have tried almost everyone on this support site, but please tell me if I missing something.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not sure what the step would be. I know that other people have posted with this problem, and a Reset didn't work, but I think others were able to post a remedy. Perhaps someone else will see this and post back to you.
Good luck...don't give up.

Help! iPod is stuck "On" with Do Not Disconnect

This is my first time to join in the forum. I connected my iPod vedeo to my Dell computer to update it. I forgot that I had the iPod locked (pushed to Hold). The Do NOt Disconnect appeared as always. I came back in the room 10 minutes later and the DND message was still on and it had not updated. It apparently did not recognize my iPod. After trying to get it turned off (the DND message is still there and the buttons are not responding) I finally disconnected it anyway. There was no other choice. It is still "On" with Do Not Disconnect. I can't get it to turn off.

welcome
do a reset.. push and hold the middle button and the menu button at the same time for 10 seconds..this may take a few trys and it works best if hooked to power..
good luck

Help please with FaceTime. The built in app seems to have disappeared from my iPad2. Bought it in Australia

Help please with FaceTime. My built in app seems to have disappeared.

If K Penguin's suggestion doesnt work, you will have to go to you iTunes and do a reset, that is if you do not have it in your back up library.

Ipod 5G missing from itunes, freezes with 'do not disconnect'

my ipod simply cant be seen on itunes and whenever i plug it in, it will freeze with 'do not disconnect' and not able to do a legal,safe removel.
hav to remove it illegally and do the 'reset' to clear the 'do not disconnect' message.
ipod is still functioning and can only be charged using direct power, but will freeze when its plug into usb port.
any help on this?
Thanks

this may seem crazy but.........i had a similar problem for quite a while. my ipod worked perfectly and then all of a sudden for no reason (i thought) my ipod would stall out. the do not disconnect would flash and i couldn't do anything. this happened to me regularly. i did the restore and all that jazz.
one day i was seriously in tears about it. my husband said he would mess with it and voila! it worked perfectly. was he magic? hardly but he took the case off of it. i didn't have a big hulking case but a rubberized one and i guess the bottom piece was just a bit off. it seemed to connect but in reality it wasn't making a good connection.
i took the case off and haven't used it since and have not had a similar problem. its a thought.........if you have a case or something that might be keeping it from making a good connection.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

- Try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer to determine if computer or iPod problem

Help please with iPhoto Update on Maverick. Not updating!

iPhoto not work and not updating with apple store.
Help please!

I'm having the same exact problem after upgrading to Maverick.
The App Store shows I have two updates, one for iPhoto and and one for iMovie. When I try to install, I get the following 3 messages:
"Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again."
"We could not complete your request.
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)"
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)"
My macbook pro was a refurbished computer purchased online through Apple.com two years ago. It arrived preinstalled with Lion and did not come with any DVD's or installation disks. It is an early 2011 Macbook Pro.
It appears that I have iPhoto 9.1.5. After downloading Maverick the application will not open now. The application icon has a circle with a slash through it.
It appears that I currently have iMovie 11 and seems to be working fine. I am able to access and open the application.
How do I resolve this problem so I can update iPhoto to work again?
Thanks!

Same thing here!!

Please help--Ipod says DO NOT DISCONNECT and I cant stop it-

I wish there wasd someone I could talk to to walk me thru this.I was updating software, connected ipod and now the update is frozen, and I can't disconnect ipod. Help - I don't know what to do.

Follow Michael's advice.
The iPod will always show "do not disconnect" when attached to your PC because there is an active connection there. Think of it as being on the phone, if you pull the plug it will mess up the conversation.
On the bottom right by your clock you should have a little green arrow. That shows you what USB devices are hooked into your pc. As long as you do not have the iTunes software open, you can double click that icon and it will show you a small grey window. You will a choice that says "USB Mass Storage Device". Click it once to highlight it and then click the "stop" button on the bottom of the same window. You will get a pop up balloon telling you that it is ok to remove the device (your iPod).
If you have iTunes turned on, you will need to "eject" the iPod by either choosing eject from the file menu or right clicking on your iPod icon in the playlist (left side) of the iTunes software. There is an option in there called "eject iPod" which means that you are done moving files over and that iTunes can release the Ipod and you can use it.
If you don't have iTunes open, just follow the first step. Don't plug things in during the middle of an operation as that will cause lock ups.
Also depending on if you have USB 2.0 or not, the process of moving files and updating can be much slower so try to be patient.
Hope this helps...

Mini help...do not disconnect

Help...I got a new Dell computer two weeks ago, transferred my iTunes over just fine, and everything was working well until Sunday. Suddenly, my computer won't shut-down or restart while my iPod is connected. Also, iTunes does not always open on the first try. When it does open, it will read and update my mini once...then if I remove the iPod and reconnect it, it flashes a "do not disconnect screen" and it will not update. ITunes says that it is updating my iPod, but the mini does not update, and the light does not come on. I have the latest versions of iTunes and updater (loaded last night 1/16/06). Apple Cust. Service said that my antivirus software was scanning my iPod and that it was considered in use. I use AOL 9.0 security, and they say this is not happening. I have looked at USB ports and tried to disconnect from there but get an error saying that Drive e: (my iPod) is in use and can not disconnect. I have tried three different USB ports, and two different wires as well as a connecting dock. Any thoughts?
Dell Windows XP Brand New Dell Jan. 2006

Help ipod got do not disconnect

I only bought my ipod today i have charged it up but i have a do not disconnect screen, i cant seem to do anything with my ipod, i cant figure out how to put music files onto my ipod,

To put music on your ipod: click the song you want to put on your ipod and drag it to your ipod icon on the left hand side of the screen.
To disconnect your ipod: click the little arrow to the right of your ipod icon and wait until the ipod goes to the main screen.
Hope this answered you questions!
