I can not eject my ipod from itunes

I just move from ipod photo to a new ipod video but after synchronizing with Itunes and try to eject it there is a message display that says that the Ipod can not be ejected because it is been used by other application. I hope someone can help me with this
Thanks

This happened to me today. Are you using the iPod as a hard drive? If you are, then maybe there's something on your iPod that is open. You can't eject iPod if there's something on it that's open.

ITunes 10.7 can not eject my ipod nano 4

When I bought iPhone5, I update my iTunes to 10.7.21 to identify iPhone5.
But the new version iTunes can not eject my ipod nano 4 normally.
When I tried to eject iPod nano 4, the "usb mass message is uninstalled" message shows, bu the ipod nano 4 still existed in iTunes.
Then my Windows 7 system can not shut down successfully.
Can you fix this bug right now?

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.

HT1351 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".

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.

Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. the required medium can not be found

Can not synchronise my ipod with itunes. I receive the message the required medium can not be found

Is it along the lines of the "required disk cannot be found?" What OS are you using and are you running the latest version of iTunes? I assume you have tried multiple USB ports as well as tried using a different USB sync cable to rule out a damaged/faulty cable?
Do you have any other USB devices plugged in while you try to sync your iPod?

Can I disable an Ipod from ITunes/Other Questions

Hi all! I am new to this forum and to using IPods/ITunes, so I am still trying to learn as much as I can about them. I made the mistake of getting my very irresponsible young teenage son an IPod (Gen 3) Touch. I have asked him several times to hand the device over to me so I can review the browser’s history (I am not even sure if that is possible, but I was going to try). I am I have major concerns regarding the websites he may be visiting. I am not trying to violate his privacy, but if it was a problem showing me the device - why won’t he hand it over - so that raised some major red flags.
So...my questions are:
Can I disable the device from ITunes? Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
I am not sure if this would make a difference or not to answer my question, but when I had to set up the ITunes account, I did have to provide credit card information to start the account.
I do have my daughter’s new IPod (Gen 4) Touch also linked to the same ITunes account.
One more thought...can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter? Would this disable his device?
Again, I am very new to using an IPod. I can get around using them (and selecting the correct features) with a little direction though.
Thanks for your help and advice in advance it is very very appreciated!

Can I disable the device from ITunes?
Not without being able to connect the iPod to the computer, no.
Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
See above.
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
The parental controls feature in iTunes only works for iTunes, not for a portable device. There are similar restrictions on the iPod, but those can only be set on the iPod itself.
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
No, sorry, if he clears the history, there's no way to view it.
can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter?
You can start a new one, but that won't affect any existing accounts. You can change the password on the iTunes Store account he's been using. That would block him from being able to purchase any new content through that account. But you can't stop him from opening up a new iTunes Store account by using a prepaid iTunes card, available from almost any grocery store.
Would this disable his device?
No.
Without being able to have the iPod in your hands, the only way you can affect it would be if you had set up the Find My iPod feature before giving the iPod to your son. If you had, you could then lock the iPod or wipe the data on it. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do until he gives you his iPod, at which time you could set up the Restrictions and, if you wish, download a web browser that allows you to set site restrictions and force him to use that browser.
Regards.

Can not transffer some songs from itunes to ipod

I have down loaded some hindi song from net , I am trying to transfer song from itune to ipod but can not can some one help me?

Are you using a 1st or second generation shuffle and what format are the songs that won't move? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle:
iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats
iPod shuffle 2nd generation - Technical specs
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod

I got an ipod touch 5th generation yesterday :) I can not sync the songs from itunes t my ipod !!!! I did it with my old ipod (nano) !! I dont have any restrictions on it or anything !! I dont know what to do !! PLEASE HELP

I cant get songs from itunes to sync!!!!!

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Let's start with the basics.
Have you ticked the box on the Audiobooks Tab that what do you want to sync? If you have then except the Audiobooks, iTunes sync other media (music, photos, applications) with your phone? If iTunes does, then you should try to see the Advanced screen and check that the three box on the bottom of the screen (above the iPhone's memory indicator) are ticked or not. Check them carefully because if you select that you select media by yourself then you have to be careful to tick every item what you want to sync. By default every media is ticked, but if you edited it then you can get unexpected result what can cause that you can't sync your iPhone with your audiobooks.
If you checked everything and against it, your audiobooks doesn't sync then write in to Discussions > iTunes for more help or turn to Apple.
