IPod being used by other app while getting disconnected

when i press the eject ipod button in itunes, it displays the message: ipod cannot be ejected because it is being used by another application
i was wondering if the windows 'safely remove hardware' had anything to do with this
if so/not, please tell me how to solve this problem
ipod 30g, brand new, v1.1.1, iTunes newest ver
right now i have to listen to the ipod to make sure its internal harddrives are silent before unplugging
oh ya btw, when i press eject ipod, the screen of the ipod suddenly goes to normal for like a second, before the Do Not Disconnect message resumes.

hi Bret!
by any chance do you have McAfee ActiveScan security software on that PC? if so let's try an experiment. diable the McAfee prior to a sync. does the iPod disconnect more smoothly then?
love, b

IPod being used by other devices???

When I go to sink my iPod I get the message that "sink failed." Then I try to "restore factory settings" and it says it can't because my iPod is being used by another device. Makes no sense!

If you have antivirus software that might prevent iTunes getting exclusive access to the device. You could try the DFU Restore method from Corrupt iPod classic.

Built in isight 'not connected' or 'being used by other app'

i just bought a macbook pro (os x 10.4.5; 1.83 ghz; upgraded to 1gig ram) yesterday, and when i attempted to open Photobooth to take a pic with the built in isight camera, an error came up saying, "Photobooth cannot open because either no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application." i literally took the machine out of the box, went through some of the setup, then shut it down again...did i do something wrong??

it ended up being a hardware defect, so apple kindly replaced my system with no hassles! thanks apple!!

My ipod touch 64G doesnt allow me to do anything in my music app. I cant even play music or select anything. But I can use all other apps. How do I fix this??? PLS Help me:(

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

I am getting a 'MIDI timeout' error message when I open garageband. I am not using any other apps so why is this happening. Restarting does not solve the issue.

I should also add that I am using core audio, no external MIDI device and Garageband v 6.0.5. Thanks

Using Tunein Radio app, while using it, radio stations start repeating/skipping

Using Tunein Radio app, while using it, the broadcast starts repeating the same sentence over and over again. It doesn't matter what radio station I'm listening to it starts skipping. Can it be caused by the wireless internet connection I'm using?

Once you are listening to a program it should bring up another window showing you the radio station, show info, etc. In the upper right hand corner there will be 4 icons, a heart with a plus symbol, an envelope, a target looking icon with a triangle in it, and a triangle with an exclamation point in it. You want the third one, the target with the triangle in it.
This is an iPad right? The icons look different if you are using an iPhone or iPod.

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again"

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again". This happens with two different apps from two different banks. One of them works occasionally and have not figured out why. I have cell signal and I am on a strong WiFi network. Same thing happens when I turn off the WiFi too. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the app with no improvement. I can't seem to find any setting that would cause this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can access the internet just fine in the browser and i can use any other app i have.

Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while running. Should I reload safari and if so, how do I do so?

Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

Web Cam being used by other application

I have a web cam that says is being used by other application when I try to Skype. I look at System Profiler and it says under hardware I have a SiGma Micro.
Why does occasionally comes on but is very dark and cloudy. How do I check USB to see if this is really the camera that is connected. The web Cam is self has not logo or company markings. I tried unplugging and switching ports with keyboard and mouse does nothing. What can I do?

Vel,
As the error say, another application could be holding on to the webcam. What application are you using for your video chat? Check your task manager processes and see if there's any applications that could also be using the webcam feature like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc...and end their task if you're not using them.

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

The firmware takes up about 115MB(Give or take a few), so now you have 200MB that you don't know what it's from. Well, first of all, do you have a lot of contacts? Depending on the amount, those contacts can take up a little chunk of your hard drive. Secondly, your emails will take up some space, so keep that in mind... Thirdly, have you used the "data:URL"(http://iwebsaver.com/) method of saving web pages to your iPod touch? That will use up some hard drive space. Lastly, do have tons of bookmarks? Those will take up space also...
If you are still concerned about the amount of space that is being taken up by other(the amount does seem a little large), you can restore your iPod touch to factory settings through iTunes by going to the iPod touch summary tab(in iTunes) and pressing "restore". At the end of, just use the backup of your iPod touch to finish it so you have all your previous settings, home icons, bookmarks, contacts, etc.... Once you have done the restore, some of the "other" might have disappeared. I had this problem before, and I figures out that it was hidden "leftovers" of a sync that I canceled. So, if you have ever canceled a sync in the middle of it, you should definitely try this method...

TS1470 Since very recently whenever I connect to Whatsapp and a few other Apps I get the following message " CONNECT TO I TUNES TO USE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS" After connecting to I Tunes I am unable to find any solution there

Since recently whenever whenever I check any application especially WhatsApp, before it opens I get the following notification:
: CONNECT TO I TUNES TO USE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS: After connecting to I Tunes I find no solution there?

Dropbox is virtually disabled on my phone now because of these messages, and most other apps are now difficult to use. I have rebooted the phone several times, reset network settings and restored factory settings (and had to make all my adjustments again) but nothing worked. My phone is now almost totally useless.

Loudness of music varying by itself when using iPod in iPad with other app

The loudness of music started varying up and down itself when listening to music using iPod and using other app simultaneously in iPad. Does anyone have got the same problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? How to fix it? Many many thanks

I agree, this is a huge let down. I didn't realize I was uploading low quality photos and people commented that my quality has gone down... so much for using this as a business expense for photography. I know people argue (just upload it from your pc) Well, this is a "retina display" High res, yadda yadda... so why isn't the app thats designed specifically for it?
Anyways, seems like an easy fix...
Strange.. all the ads are in high res...
