Help with first use of nano - continual do not disconnect message

Hi,
I have connected my ipod nano for the first time to my computer - a message advises me that i am not using a hi-speed port and i have the message "do not disconnect" - my question is will the use of this port eventually start up the installer of itunes etc and if not will i damage my ipod if i disconnect it from the computer?
Many thanks
Angela

Hi Angela!
When your iPod displays "Do Not Disconnect", it is not safe to just unplug it right now (yes, it certainly could damage future connection ability from your iPod to your computer if you simply disconnect it right now).
You'll need to first eject your iPod before it is safe to disconnect it.
You can eject your iPod through several ways, including the Safely Remove Hardware program, found in the System Tray Icons in the bottom-right area of your screen. Select "Apple iPod" and click on "Stop".
For more info on this subject, see if these Support articles help you:

I hope this helps you,

  • Nano Restored - Do not disconnect message

    After restoring my Nano, 'Do not disconnect message' appears continuously. How long does it last?
    Dell   Windows XP  

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
    In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct.  I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX.  Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start.  Any ideas, folks?

    First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
    It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
    You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
    What version of FCP X are you using?
    All these things will make it easier for people to help you.

  • Please help me - "Do Not Disconnect" Message Will Not Go Away

    I got my ipod late 2006 and it played perfectly until just now. I had it hooked to itunes, unplugged it when it was safe and right away a "do not disconnect message" came on the screen and will not go away. And this message is different from previous ones in that it is not blinking at all. I hooked it up back to itunes and a message came on which says:
    "itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod".
    So should I go ahead and restore it and everything will be alright. Sorry if my query is stupid but I've never had any problems with this ipod (or my previous one) and I don't want to mess up. Thanks for any help.

    1. My iPod froze... ...while playing a song or My iPod Won't Turn Off
    Reset your iPod. [You will not lose any songs or anything, this is like a 'reboot' for the iPod.]
    This is the "catch-all, first try, let's hope it only needs a reset" step that everyone loves:
    § Toggle the Hold switch to on, then back to off (none of the red is showing).
    § Press and hold down the Menu and Select (Center) buttons for 10 seconds
    (until you see the Apple logo) as shown in the picture.
    2. My iPod Won't Turn Off
    The normal way to turn off an iPod is to hold down the Play/Pause button for 2-3 seconds. Sometimes, the iPod gets into a state where this does not work.
    The short-term way to fix it, is to reset your iPod. See 2. above.
    Some report this symptom is defined as a hard drive fault from the 2006-1-10 Update. Which, for V4 and under versions, and possibly even Nano and Video, the hard drive will not respond to both ways of turning off, or soft reset. forcing the user to restore the iPod. or let the power run dry. The only real solution of this is to find an updater that restores your iPod to a version before the 2006-1-10 updater. (e.g. Updater 2005-6-26. Which reverts to 1.2) Currently, no possible solution is found by Apple. As Apple replies with an automatic response stating to send the iPod in for replacement.
    Others report that a restore including a full update to the latest version fixes the problem, the only downside being that of course "restore" wipes all your songs and photos and you have to reload the iPod from scratch. Yet another reason to backup your iPod.

  • Disconnected nano during "do not disconnect"

    I disconnected nano during "do not disconnect"and did not follow instructions. Went to Finder and clicked on my name and eject and nano worked, so disconnected it again. Nano works fine, but when I connect it again, all that shows are the downloaded items. It won't sync, and the "do not disconnect" shows again on the nano. How do I get it to download new items and to sync?

    make sure you do not have the manually manage music checked off in itunes, and if that doesnt work, try the 5 R's

  • Help with 6th Gen iPod Nano please

    Hello, I have a 6th gen ipod nano currently for about 1 and a half years, which has been working fine as of late, but today it lost all battery completely (I had used it for the first time yesterday paired up with the Nike+ attachment). Not knowing the battery had depleted I tried turning it on, but didn't work, decided to charge it just in case it was that. After waiting for a while I tried turning it on once more, connected it with my laptop & iTunes only to see the warning that it had to be restored since it had apparently gone corrupt. Even though it seemed weird, I did accept and let iTunes do it's stuff in order to restore it. About 30 minutes later it said that the server wasn't available for reach and couldn't finish the operation. Tried it a couple of more times only resulting in iTunes freezing over and unavailable to detach the nano from the laptop. I searched online for a manual reset and found the one in the support page (Lower volume + Turn on button for about 8 seconds then the lower + upper volume buttons) only to reach a flashing screen of the apple logo in my nano (lasted less then a second between flashes). iTunes couldn't detect my iPod up to this point. Tried it once more only to reach a white screen with black letters 'Do Not Disconnect' and nothing from the iTunes program (every once in a while it detects the nano but still can't update it because of the server issue). I'm pretty sure I've charged it up to full the iPod by now (both with laptop and directly from an outlet). The only thing I imagine left to do is for the battery to die on itself, which should take between 14 and 28 days, but before waiting that time for nothing, I'd rather see if anyone here has an idea on how to make this thing work again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Help with Sum using FormCalc in Livecycle

    Hello. I'm stuck. I've been doing searches, readings, and all that on how to sum up certain cells in Livecycle. I have tried examples and tutorials and I get stuck when the application says "Error: Accessor ' ' Unknown".
    I'm such a novice in using Livecycle and I'm not a programmer. So, if someone can help me on why it does this, that would be awesome!

    Here you go.  I rename it.  Couple of things.  Too many subforms (unless you intend to do something else with this).  Also, make sure you save your forms as "dynamic" if you intend to have user enter info.  I couldn't tell if you were importing/exporting to a spreadsheet.  Note the formcalc.  Your fields need to be named the same.  In my example they are: ExpCosts.
    I'm not very good with the formcalc/java and variables but am more than willing to help with what I can

  • Need help with session using dreamweaver

    have created a login page (php/mysql) with username and
    password boxes. when the form is submitted the mainpage loads up.
    i want the main page to be specific to that user, so i want
    their name to appear in the first line. eg.. Welcome back 'David'
    I read a tutorial in the past that tought me to send the
    users id in the URL and then create a record set on the mainpage
    that was filtered by the URL parameter.
    I have forgotten how to do this and the tutorial is no longer
    available on Adobe's site.
    I tried that with
    $_SESSION['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername; \\ in first page
    then
    echo $_SESSION["MM_username"]; \\in second page, but the
    problem is that is not showing user name.
    i need help with that please!
    can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance,
    AM

    IN the second page, you have to make sure that the session
    has been started.
    Put this at the very top of the page -
    <?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) session_start(); ?>

  • Need Help with Formula using SQL maybe

    I need help!  I work with Crystal reports XI and usually manage just fine with the Formula editor but his one I think will require some SQL and I am not good at that.
    We are running SQL 2000 I think (Enterprise Manager 8.0)  Our sales people schedule activities and enter notes for customer accounts.  Each is stored in a separate table.  I need to find activities that are scheduled 240 days into the future and show the most recent note that goes with the account for which that activity is scheduled.
    The two tables, Activities and History, share the an accountID field in common that links them to the correct customer account.   I want to look at dates in the Startdate.Activities field more than 240 days in the future and show the most recent note from the History table where the accountid's match. I figure my query will contain a join on AccountID.Activities and AccountID.History used with Max(completedate.History) but I do not understand how to word it.
    I would like to perform all this in crystal if possible.  I humbly request your help.
    Membery

    You SQL would look something like this...
    SELECT
    a.AccountID,
    a.BlahBlahBlah, -- Any other fields you want from the Activities table
    h.LastComment
    FROM Activities AS a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN History AS h ON a.AccountID = h.AccountID
    WHERE (a.ActivityDate BETWEEN GetDate() AND DateAdd(dd, 240, GetDate()))
    AND h.HistoryID IN (
         SELECT MAX(HistoryID)
         FROM History
         GROUP BY AccountID)
    This method assumes that the History table has a HistoryID that increments up automatically each time a new comment is added... So a comment made today would always have a higher HistoryID that one made yesterday.
    If I'm wrong and there is no HistoryID or the HistoryID doesn't increment in a chronological fashion, it can still be done but the code is a bit more complex.
    HTH,

  • Help with ipod classic 80gb 2nd new ipod not working

    I need some help with my ipod, this is the second ipod I have had in the same number of weeks the first one worked fine for about 8 days and then when syncing one night it froze and then would not disconnect, I searched the support section and worked how to reset the ipod which | did many times, in the end I restored the ipod to the factory settings and synced again the end result of this was that the ipod would not turn on despite everything that I tried. The apple log would appear and the ipod would then try desperatley to switch itself on with the apple logo appearing and disappering all the time. Apple have replaced the ipod and I have fully charged the new ipod synced it this evening all was ok, the ipod synced and then told me to disconnect and the same thing is happening again I have tried to reset multiple times and all that happens now is the apple logo appears and disappers it will not switch on or off, itunes keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the ipod at this time and the safely remove section on my task bar on my computer is telling me that the ipod has malfunctioned. can anyone help? am I doing something wrong someone suggested that I should have downloaded itunes once I had my ipod and not before, I have about 20GB of music in itunes and I was not aware that you needed to use or own an ipod to use this music storage system
    HELP
    Thanks in anticipation

    well it looks like you might have a tech issue here; try to return the ipod and choose a different store and buy one ... also try to uninstall itunes totally, back up your songs on a CD or DVD, and then re-install a fresh new copy of itunes ... this might work ... good luck!

  • Nano with Album art, fancy dock and "Do Not Disconnect"

    Has anybody figured out if you can get rid of the Do Not Disconnect display when using the iPod with USB connect playback in manual update mod? I have a really nice dock at work and would like to see what is playing through my computer on the Nano, instead of DO NOT DISCONNECT.

    What are you playing your music from? The computer or the Nano? You can eject your iPod and just have it charge from the USB connector, but you won't be able to access the Nano unless you reconnect the USB cable again.

  • 2G Nano-USB Device Not Recognized message

    2G Nano has been sitting for months. Decided to use it as a backup. When connected to computer (tried on 4 different computers running iTunes) I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message. It shows up in "Device Manager" as an "Unknown USB Device" not an "iPod". Have performed the required 5 Rs and it still will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    This did not work for me. I have a laptop that was running Windows XP, and it had no problems recognizing the iPod. I was having problems with XP, and rather then reinstall XP, I did a clean install of Vista. I did a settings transfer, so the new install of iTunes came already configured--I mention this since I don't know if it was a factor.
    When I plugged in the iPod, I got the USB Device Not Recognized. The usbstor.inf file did not fix the problem. However, the solution at http://www.winvistabeta.com/groups/275128/ipod-usb-device-not-recognized/message .aspx did fix the problem. Do this:
    Reset the iPod:
    1. Unplug the iPod.
    2. Turn the hold switch to HOLD and then back to off.
    3. Hold the Center and Menu buttons for 6 seconds until you get the Apple logo when you release them.
    4. Plug in the iPod. It should now be recognized.
    This worked fine for me the first time. Thanks! Jack

  • New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

    Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
    I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
    I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
    None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
    Thanks

    Try Linc's suggestion first.  That should cure your issue.  If not, here's something else to consider:

    I installed the software from the site ...
    Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers.  You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key).  Then download Apple's software version from here:
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
    Finally, set up the printer as shown here:
    OS X: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network

  • Continuous "Do Not Disconnect" sign.

    Hey, I hope you can help. Whenever I connect the cable to the iPod a "do not disconnect" sign appears. It goes on for hours. I'm using Windows Media Player to sync songs because iTunes wouldn't connect with my iPod since it told me to reinstall it and still nothing worked (and the iPod is recognized as My Ipod (F:) in Windows Media Player) and once the sync is complete, the "Do not disconnect" sign is still intact. When I remove the cable (thinking it's just a fluke) none of my songs appear. Please help!

    This is a problem that I personally have and in digging around these message boards a lot of other people have aswell.
    Do some searches for iPod not disconnecting that brings up a lot of messages, but glad somebody has actually started a thread for this. The usual answers everybody gives (and I think these are generally MAC users) is update the iPod software using iPod Updater, re-install iTunes, update all of your windows drivers.......I have tried all three to no avail. But maybe you'll get lucky.
    iPod is designed to work with iTunes only - Media Player just transfers songs to the iPod's hardrive, which means that you can easily pull them off again, but the iPod can't actually play them - useful huh.....
    I haven't had any problems with my iPod connecting to iTunes, it's the disconnect thing that bugs me, because it also causes my PC to crash - not in midrun, but it won't allow my PC to actually shutdown - I have to pull the power cord.
    This is not always the case - if I dock my iPod without iTunes open, then it opens iTunes, updates and disconnects, no problems and windows shuts down just fine. If iTunes is already open or after automatically updating, I manually update again then the do not disconnect logo appears and will not go away. Everywhere I have read indicates that as long as the iPod is not physically updating (the little circle top left corner of your iPod or the red flashing icon in iTunes) then just pull it out and there will be no problem. It seems to work for me, but thats not the point though is it. When you spend $300 plus accessories you expect it to work with all platforms as promised. I am a little dissapointed as my PC is 3 months brand new out of the box and as far as i can tell I have updated every driver/chipset possible......
    Anybody else with any good ideas.......I run Windows XP Media Center. XP's fine but the Media Center is crappy.
