Ipod disconnect screen

Im not sure if this is the right area, nor if this has been asked(and I have searched everywhere), but when I plug my ipod into the usb port on my wireless router in order to share the music with my other devices I get a disconnect screen on the Ipod. Is there a way to remove this or can I not do anything about it. If this has already been asked I apologise

You cannot use the iPod to share music. It does not allow this. You can only play music from an iPod with iTunes on a computer on which you have used the iPod before.
The only thing you can do is to configure the iPod to make it accessible as hard disk. Then you can plug in the iPod and access the files on the iPod. But you cannot access the music which you play on the iPod nor does the iPod plays the music files which you would copy onto the hard disk part.

  • Ipod is frozen on do not disconnect screen....

    i seriously don't know what to do with m ipod anymore. it's a 5 gen ipod video that i've had for less than a year. today i tried to sync it to my computer which is a sony vaio with windows xp and it got stuck on the do not disconnect screen. i plugged the ipod in and waited for itunes to open, which it didn't(i waited a long long time). so i then shut down my pc thinking the do not disconnect screen would go away after the pc was shut down...but it didn't. i tried rebooting my ipod MANY times and that didn't work. I tried plugging it in different usb ports on my pc and it doesn't show up in itunes. it shows up in my computer as a 'removeable disk' not an ipod as well. i don't know what to do...all i wanna do is format it back to factory settings so i can use it on my new pc(a brand new imac..<3) does anyone have any ideas? thanks.<br>

    Even when its not connected..I went through the same thing my Ipod freezes alot(5thgen) nor will it show vidoe or pics not even podcast. What I did was got a programm call TUNE TRANSFER FOR ipod. With this you can backup anything on your ipod so you can then restore it. During a freeze your computer doesnt recognize the ipod at all.No connection. You need to reset your Ipod but not traditionall. 1- toggle hold switch 10 times each direction.(left/right)immediatly after your last toggle(be sure the toggle isnt on hold)
    2-hold menu and select buttons for 15 seconds toggle periodically. I hopes that helped if not messege me back. make sure you have the latest Itunes.
    GOOD LUCK

  • 5th Gen iPod freezes on "Do Not Disconnect" screen when connected to Mac

    My iPod freezes on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen (partially backlit) when I plug it into my computer. I have a G4 eMac with standard USB connections. The ipod firmware is up to date.
    This freeze doesn't occur ALL the time....just occasionally. The iPod does not appear on my desktop or in iTunes when this happens. I have to wait until the iPod discharges its battery completely before I can use it again (this sometimes takes a couple of days!).
    Does anyone have any ideas? Or is anyone else experiencing this?
    Thanks....

    Thanks for the replies.........I can't seem to find a solution to this....its annoying to say the least. Its just happened again this morning, though it's successfully sync'd on the last few occasions....it seems to be quite random.
    One thing I've noticed is that it synced OK when iTunes wasn't open when I plugged it in. It appeared on the desktop, then I opened iTunes. This morning though it froze when iTunes was already open, so there may be an issue with iTunes (I updated this weekend to see if it was any different with the new version). I guess this will happen if you've got the ipod set to open iTunes automatically when connected too.
    So, no solutions as yet.......I'm gonna get onto Apple to see if they have any answers. I'll get back to you all on this one.
    PS: why no firewire capabilities on the new ipods?

  • 3G iPod - no more "OK to disconnect" screens, a Firewire problem

    I have an old 3G iPod - 15GB with the 4 touch buttons - that still works fine. This is a model that can sync via USB or Firewire, but can only get power from Firewire.
    For the first couple of years it synced with a Win2000 machine just fine via Firewire. When syncing was done, the iPod would sit and display a "OK to Disconnect" message. If I elected to sync again, it would just wakeup and sync.
    I have moved to a new iMac C2D and I am very happy with the machine in general. However, the iPod is not quite the same.
    I decided to restore the iPod and thus use Macintosh formatting - no problem, it works fine. However, now when I sync I never see the "OK to Disconnect" message - instead, once the sync is complete the iPod just unmounts and charges as if it were being powered by the AC adaptor.
    That is fine but for one thing - if I wait a couple of minutes, the iPod goes to sleep while charging (like when using the AC adaptor) and the whole Firewire bus seems to take a snooze with it! Once that happens, reconnecting the iPod does nothing and I cannot mount any of my external Firewire hard drives. The only solution is to restart the iMac, and everything is OK again.
    My workaround has been to set the iPod to "Enable Disk usage", which forces it to remain mounted and awake. However, it is not supposed to work this way. Any clues??
    P.S. - I just tried plugging the iPod into a G4 iBook, and while the Firewire bus does not fail the "OK to Disconnect" screen still does not appear. Hmmm..

    Your iPod is probably in hard disk mode. In iTunes, while your Ipod is connected, right click on the iPod and go to options. Make sure that the box next to 'enable disk use' is UNCHECKED. That should fix the problem. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Do not disconnect screen is frozen on my ipod

    I have a video IPod 30G. I got a new computer and I downloaded the new itunes 7.0. It recognized my ipod but it would not let me add my current 1800 songs to the library. I ejected my ipod on itunes several times and nothing happened. I went ahead and disconnected my ipod from the usb connector like I've done before and now it froze and the wording "do not disconnect" is frozen on the bottom of my screen. I tried to reset it, but it's still frozen. I tried to connect it back again and now it's not recognizing my ipod in itunes or my computer. When I do connect it, it does not regcognize my device? I ran a diagnostic through itunes and it shows that there is a connection problem w/ my ipod. What can I do? I've tried to turn it off and on and nothing is working. Please help!!

    I drained the battery, and the "do not disconnect" screen finally came off.... I must have reset my ipod, I lost all my 1800+ songs,. But I have a new problem, when I connect it to the usb port, itunes opens up but has an error message saying to go to the summary preference and select restore to factory setting??? I don't show that anywhere in my IPOD, where is the "summary" icon? My computer can recognize it as a drive but itunes can't...what do I do now..?

  • My Ipod Nano (6th Gen) screen is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. i got this thing this morning and i really regret it!! HELP!!

    HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
    My brand-new IPod Nano (6th gen) is frozen on an "ok to disconnect screen. This happened right after ITunes said it was in recovery mode. The ipod said "do not disconnect" before and, Like an idiot i disconnected it, now it says "ok to disconnect". it has been like that for over an hour. I think it's a bit of a lost cause. im about ready to hammer this thing. Can anyone help???????

    Go to your Main Menu, then Setting and then Reset Settings. That helped me once with another issue.

  • My ipod classic froze in the 'do not disconnect' screen.

    I connected my ipod to my computer, and it showed the do not disconnect screen as it always does, but it froze on that screen.
    Itunes is not recognising my ipod, and the ipod is doing nothing, even showing the little lock sign if I lock it.
    What do I do?

    Try holding down menu and the center button for a few seconds, until the apple symbol appears. This has always worked for me

  • My ipod is stuck on the do not disconnect screen

    I recently found an ipod and i plugged it in to my computer because my mom has an ipod already. After plugging it in it went to the do not disconnect screen. its been stuck this way for 2 days. Is this because my computer does not recognize this new ipod or what any advice..........

    Try holding down menu and the center button for a few seconds, until the apple symbol appears. This has always worked for me

  • IPod stuck on Do not disconnect screen.

    My iPod is stuck on the Do not disconnect screen. It won't connect to the computer, shut off or reset. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    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.

  • ITunes could not back up the iPod because the iPod disconnected

    I had and solved a problem similar to the one reported by others: My iPod Touch 5 would not back up to iTunes. I was trying to update the iPod from iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.2 using iTunes on my PC and iTunes needed to back up the iPod before installing iOS 8.2. All of the attempts ended with the error message, "iTunes could not back up the iPod 'username' because the iPod disconnected."
    I was finally able to update to iOS 8.2 directly from the iPod using wifi rather than through iTunes on my PC but the iPod still would not sync/backup with iTunes. (iTunes version 12.1.1.4 running under Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1.) I tried a soft reset on the iPod; powering down and back up the PC; restarting iTunes; disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod. Nothing helped (I did not turn off my security software). The "Backup now" command and the "Sync" command in iTunes both resulted in the same error message as given above. "Sync via wifi" was NOT checked in iTunes. The backup file in the PC was renamed "Backup-Old," forcing iTunes to start a new file, but that didn't help either.
    Finally, I discovered that Backup/Sync DID work if I started the Sync from the iPod using the "Sync Now" command in "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" under the "General" section of "Settings." After doing a backup once that way, the backup via iTunes worked properly. I don't know why it worked that way but obviously some block has been cleared. This method might be added to the list of "things to try."

    I have the same problem tonight for the first time. I restarted the iPod and my powerbook then used disk utilities to repair disk permissions then tried again. It got stuck on step 4 13 of 13 songs. Each time I try it gets a few more songs over before it freezes. Then I get an error message; Unknown sync error
    0xE800400B.
    While it is syncing the "s" on "slide to cancel" on the iPod screen is flashing. Finally iTunes freezes and I have to "force quit".
    In previous tries the iPod turned off yet it still appeared on the list of devices in iTunes even after getting the "unknown error" message.

  • Ipod nano screen fade then locks

    has anyone had this problem where if you hold the menu button down, then the 2gb black ipod nano locks up and the image on the screen fades away slowly until the lcd is blank? then the nano won't start up anymore (until it is plugged into a computer). toggling hold does not work, and pressing both the menu and center button doesn't do anything either. is this a defect for my particular nano or is this possible some kind of software bug that needs some kind of restoring?
    also, on a related note, plugging it in to the computer (xp) sometimes brings up the apple logo then it jumps to a discharged battery lightning logo (battery is full). i have to keep plugging/unplugging until i get to the "do not disconnect" screen, then the nano works fine and shows the full battery on the upper right (to prove its charged).
    any help on this would be great, thanks!

    I figured out the cause of this problem, basically if you reset your ipod (menu and center), then the nano freezes and the screen image fades... has anyone had this problem? I'm also having a very very difficult time trying to get the nano back to a working state since none of the buttons work... when i plug it in to the computer, the screen shows an apple, backlight flashes on for a second then goes away, and it quickly jumps to a lightning bolt battery... unfortunately the battery is fully charged (green) from before the nano froze, and constantly plugging/unplugging the usb connector sometimes brings the nano back to normal working condition...
    I was wondering, what happens on a normal nano when you reset it (menu and center) without being plugged in... does it freeze as well?
    I also tried a full restore via ipod updater when i finally got it working, but the problem still exists and i hit menu+center and froze it and now i am plugging/unplugging to the computer to try to get that 1% chance it will boot up properly... any advice?

  • Do Not Disconnect Screen is Stuck

  • Frozen "Do Not Disconnect" Screen

    Hey guys I need some URGENT help:
    I recently "ejected" my ipod from my pc but what happened is that it took ages for "My Ipod" to disappear from my iTunes and it ended up having an error on my PC saying that the drive wasn't ejected successfully and that files were not saved. This however, isn't the main problem.
    When I unplugged my ipod from the USB wire, the "Do Not Disconnect" Screen stays there. I can't reset my ipod or anything. None of the buttons work. I try replugging it into my PC again and ... nothing.
    Can anyone help me out here? Would I need to bring it to a Service Provider?

    Did you try restoring it? As it restores it it makes the ipod go threw a diagnostics test and restores it to the factory settings. THis is what you have to do. 1. plug in your ipod. 2. go to the ipod updater. ( it should be in the start menu)3. it should reconize it and then you press restore.

  • Hung up do not disconnect screen

    My ipod is not removing the do not disconnect screen when I hook it up to my pc to sync and is not updating. has anyone had this problem? please help.

    It is nearly impossible to help unless you provide more information... Does your iPod work fine except for the sync connect to the PC? Has the sync ever worked? Does your iPod appear in the iTunes source list? Did you make any changes to the iPod options in iTunes?
    If set the stage by telling the whole story, then we can try to help you.
