IPod locked up while connected to the computer, "saying do not disconnect"

iPod locked up while connected to the computer saying "Do Not Disconnect"

Is it red? If so, then it's supposed to happen. As far as I know, there's no way around it.

    tmplHi pranoop,
    If you are having an issue with your iPod touch not being recognized by iTunes when connected to your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I have a classic that seems to be stuck in restore mode, the screen says "do not disconnect'' and i can't restore using itunes. i have tried resetting it and still no good, what can i do to fix this problem ?

    i have a classic that seems to be stuck in restore mode, the screen says "do not disconnect'' and i can't restore using itunes. i have tried resetting it and still no good, what can i do to fix this problem ?

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • Problem with nano while connected to the computer

    Last night at about ten thirty I connected my iPod to iTunes and it said htat there was a software update availible. I updated the software, and a little box popped up saying that the iPod would show up in the iTunes menu when it was finished restarting. That was last night. It has been almost fourteen hours and my iPod is still not in the iTunes menu. I CAn't disconnect from the computer, because that little do not disconnect message is flashing and I don't want to break my iPod. HELP!

    You could try resetting your iPod (while connected to your computer).
    To reset:
    First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side).
    Now, begin to press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons on your iPod together for 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to try this several times. Also, after each time you reset your iPod, it might take up to a minute before iTunes recognizes it in the Source List.

  • TS1538 My iPod that's constantly connected to the computer decides to auto sync and thus delete all the pre existing songs, absolutely infuriated

    My iPod stopped playing music through the earpiece but works fine as a hard drive connected to the computer.
    It's been like that for over 6 months, so today upon unhibernating the computer iTunes decides it doesn't recognize the iPod and syncs the current library thus deleting all my old songs. Is there a way to restore it to before it synced? I want my songs back I'm not going to be able to get half of them again... I'm absolutely furiated over this

    Redownlaid iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other media you will have to get them from where your originally obtained them.

  • Help Me, Ipod won't do anything and is just saying "do not disconnect"

    so this is the story my ipod was working fine and then when i plugged it into my laptop to update my songs it said that it might be corrupt and to try unplugging it and plugging it back in. I tried this and now all it says on the screen is "do not disconnect" (even though it's not connected) and every time i reconnect it to my laptop it doesn't recognize the ipod anymore and won't show up in itunes. I've tried the 5 R things that i can do but nothing is happening. Help me

    Hello,
    When you unplugged your iPod when it was done charging did you safetly remove the hardware from the computer before you unplugged the cord?
    This is the SAFE way to unplug the iPod if you were previously unaware:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodFeaturesGuide.pdf
    Also, I would try resetting your iPod, you can do so by:
    Holding the center and the menu button in for 6-10 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    Hope this helps,
    Ms D.

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

  • IPod Error Message when connected to the computer

    When I have my iPod connected to my computer and listening to it's music through the computer, or even just updating songs onto my iPod, I always get an error message.
    It doesn't really do anything, except it's just there and it's bugging me...On the bottom right of my computer where the time is- thats where the message pops up and it keeps on coming back every 10 minutes or so.
    The message says-
    iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory /iPod_Control/iTunes/Temp File 1 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    How would I go about fixing this, and what the hellll does it mean?????
    Thanks in advance for the help

    I've sort of figured out what the error message means- as in what it does to my iPod...
    I am unable to add music to my iPod anymore. Anytime I connect my iPod to my computer and try to "safely remove it" with the eject thing, it says it is unable to because it is being files from my iPod Mini are being used by other files(I completely shut down all other music files and still received this message)...
    So since I am unable to "safely remove the hardware", I have to do it without clicking the little eject iPod thing. When I do that, my iPod doesn't save any of the music I just put on it, and it comes out exactly the way it was before...
    Any idea how to fix this, and how I got it???
    And for some reason...My iPod keeps on telling me theres not enough room on it for any more songs when their is over 2.3 GBs left...
    What issss going on here???

  • My ipod touch 4 will connect to the computer then disconnects. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation. I got it in Dec 2011 I believe. I really haven't had any major problems with it until just recently. Normally when I would upload pictures from my iPod to my PC it would have this menu bar pop up and then I could choose to upload them to the computer. Now when I plug it in that option doesn't pop up anymore. In fact, it will make the connecting noise and then just a couple seconds later it will disconnect. I am really wanting to upload some pictures to the computer to make some space on my device.
    So if anyone has any suggestions to how I can fix the connecting problem OR a different way to upload my pictures on the computer that would be great!
    And it isn't the syncing cord. I have tried  4 different ones and one of them being brand new.
    My computer has windows 7 by the way.

    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    If not:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My ipod connects to the computer but will not charge, can you help?

    My ipod will not charge. I have tried charging via the mains and via the computer. The computer recognises it but it still won't charge. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Another charging source?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
    Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
