HT1296 an ios device needs to be ejected before disconnecting it

an ios device needs to be ejected before disconnecting it

You only have to make sure it isn't moving data around before disconnecting. For instance, in the middle of a Sync, maybe transferring apps, music, videos, books., etc.
Ejecting it at least will either warn you or safely interrupt the process with no data loss.

  • Ever since the new update, my Ipod won't sync. Starts to sync but then goes back to connected eject before disconnecting. Still won't transfer songs even after being restored. Restored fine. But now I've got nothing on it. Please god help!

    For awhile, since the newest update, I'd noticed when charging the ipod (classic) that it stopped going to the charging screen and would stay on the  Connected: Eject before disconnecting' screen. But, y'know, didn't matter to me, it still charged... until today when I tried to add music. Tried it many times, reset it... STILL wouldn't transfer songs... It would 'say' it was syncing, but then suddenly stop and stay on the same Connect: please eject before disconnecting' page. I did a couple of times get a message about scanning it but, after restoring that never popped up again...
    So, I do a system restore on it and ofcourse THAT works, but it STILL won't sync! So, now I've got an ipod with no music that won't sync and because it's all gone on there, I'm not sure how to back up my stuff (should I need to re-install iTunes... Though I doubt it'd work...)... So, yeah, I tried a different cable too, still no luck...
    There has GOT to be some way to fix this!
    Please somebody help me out! I so freaking appreciate it you have NO idea!

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me.  I recently got my first ever Ipod.  It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation.  I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

  • IPod nano 6th generation: "Do not disconnect" on white screen w/flashing icon; previously "Connected-Eject before Disconnecting" on dark screen w/USB icon; no content on iPod

    Trouble began with "Reconnect to iTunes to Restore" message after I inadvertantly held down the Wake/Sleep button long enough to turn the iPod off before pausing the podcast in progress.
    My subseqent actions to try to remedy:
    -Restored the iPod
         -while Restoring, the rotating circular arrows and "Synchronizing-Do Not Disconnect" screen appeared followed by "Connected-Eject Before Disconnecting"
         -when I ejected the iPod and disconnected it, the normal icons showed but there was no content
    -Reinstalled the latest iTunes 11.0.3 which I had downloaded previously a few days before my problems began
    -Restored iPod again:  still said "Connected-Eject before Disconnecting"
    -Manually put the iPod into Disk Mode (said to be helpful in troubleshooting):  "Do Not Disconnect" on white screen with flashing icon (circle with diagonal line)
    -Ejected and disconnected the iPod.
    -Reconnected the iPod:  same message

    You need to either the let the iPod finishing syncing with iTunes, or figure out what application is still using it in the back ground that prevents you from being able to properly eject the device.  Just unplugging it from the computer is almost always going to cause issues when it's still in use by iTunes or another application.
    So let's connect the device to iTunes one more time and let it finish restoring.  Then try syncing a bit of content over to it and wait for it to finish the sync process.  Then try to properly eject it from iTunes this time.

  • How to eject before disconnecting.

    Installed iPod nano Generation 7.  The "Connected" message has been running for hours.  Can't figure out how to eject before disconnecting.  Apple Owner's Manual did not help.

    Hi,
    In iTunes go to menu > view > select show side bar. You will now see attached Devices with eject button.

    Greetings badminton1829,
    It seems your iPod will not respond when plugged in or otherwise. You may want to consider restoring it to factory settings:

  • "Ok to Disconnect" vs "Eject Before Disconnecting"

    I just synced my iPod Nano(2nd Gen)and my iPod Classic. For the Nano, it says "Sync is Complete/Eject Before Disconnecting" and for the Classic it says "Sync if Complete/Ok to Disconnect." What's the deal? Why do I have to eject the Nano before disconnecting? It didn't used to make me do that...

    As far as I know, all iPods should be "ejected" prior to physically unplugging them. This ensures that the iPod is not being written to and that no damage is done by removing the connection while the iPod is being accessed. (This also applies to all storage devices that I use on my computer.)
    I've seen several posts from people who did remove the iPod without ejecting it - and guess what, the reason they are posting is because their iPod now has corrupted information on it and some or all of their music is unavailable.
    I notice that my iPod Classic appears to automatically disconnect if I leave it long enough. My iPod Touch does not and nor did my 5th gen iPod. However, I always use the eject feature, to be sure.
    The reason for the difference between the two models is probably due to the teams who developed those models. My guess is that it was a different team for the Classic to your nano.

  • TS1425 My iPod sse from it.  It is stuck on 'Connected.  Eject before disconnecting."

    My iPod seems to have crashed.  I can't get any response from it.  It is stuck on 'Connected.  Eject before disconnecting."

    At this point all I can think to do is wait until the battery totally discharges, then start it up again. That should only take a day or two, since I can't play it...
    That is correct.  Or if the iPod appears in iTunes, try restoring it to factory settings.  If the problem still persists you can be sure that it's hardware related. Most likely the hold switch needs service/replacement.

  • IPod says connected,eject before disconnecting with a pict. Of the USB cable. It does this after its been charging and I can not access the menus. Any solutions?a

    iPod seems to be frozen. After it has been charing and I remove it foamy PC! It says "connected, eject before disconnecting" with a picture of the USC cable. I can not proceed with this on the screen. Should I reconnect to my pc and do something differently?

    Try to perform a hard reset of the iPod, which is about the equivalent of rebooting your PC.  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position.  Then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My nano says connected eject before disconnecting what does that mean

    I plugged my new iPod nano in a couple hours ago and it says "connected eject before disconnecting" what does that mean?

    Hi Yogibear2,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This article has some information on the topic:
    Safely disconnect iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1853
    When iPod is connected to a computer there are times when it should not be disconnected by simply unplugging the USB cable. In these cases, iPod must first be ejected before it can be safely disconnected. Read the information in this article to determine when an iPod can be safely disconnected.
