Ipod stuck

My ipod mini was working fine last night, today however when I went to play a song, they were all gone. So I tried to hook it up to my powerbook to reload all my music and my powerbook never recognized it. Now it is stuck with the "do not disconnect" screen with light on. I cannot turn it off or get it to leave that screen.

IPod stuck after trying to update software

Hello there
This is my 2nd attempt to update my iPod software and like the first time, it seems to have left my iPod stuck on 'Do Not Disconnect', with the drive just whirring away.
The first time I tried this I thought it'd killed my iPod. It looks like it's doing the same thing again. Should I just disconnect my iPod and see if I can sort it like I did last time?
Or does the update just happen to take ages and ages?
Thank you for your help. I've looked through a few threads but haven't managed to find anyone with quite the same problem - apologies if I missed it.

I had the same problem, this is how I fixed it...
I had to go to a completely new computer (my work one) that didn't have iTunes on it, install iTunes 9.0, then do the restore...now it works...
I would assume that if you removed every last vestige of iTunes from your computer it would act the same way. I think you would have to delete and completely remove the iTunes files from your user folder on Windows machines (AppData or LocalData, the hidden folder with the iTunes info in it...)

If your iPod displays this message but is not connected to a computer, or another device such as iPod Camera Connector, reset it to remove it from disk mode.
To avoid this behavior in the future, make sure that you safely disconnect your iPod prior to disconnecting it from your computer.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

80G Classic Ipod Stuck in Reset Loop, Please Help

Hello,
My Ipod (80G classic) is stuck in the continuous reset loop showing only the apple logo. I have tried restoring it numerous times, to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing it, different versions also, this does not work either.
This is very frustrating, and I am finding no help on the apple site. Any suggestions?

I'm not clear if you've actually managed to get iTunes to restore the iPod yet. These steps should make it possible. Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until the iPod resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect the iPod to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you should be able to start iTunes and complete the restore process. I'd suggest you don't rush to put back all your music in one go. Test that the iPod works with a smaller playlist first.

Ipod stuck on "Usb -- iTunes" screen on my ipod.

I attempted installing the iPod Touch 2.2 Update and it gave me an error, and now my ipod is stuck with the screen of a USB cable with an arrow pointing up to iTunes.
I've unplugged and replugged it into my laptop, I've even powered down my iPod and unplugged it, only to have the same screen when turning it back on. iTunes is no longer detecting my ipod either.

Hi Kangarew,
The iPod is in recovery mode, which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IPod stuck in Do Not Disconnect mode

I plugged in iPod in this evening and after a few mintued iTunes did not start up. I restarted the machine and still nothing.
Shut the machine down and disconnected it from the computer and now the iPod only has the Do Not Disconnect displayed on the screen.
I've tried resetting it but it's also stuck in hold mode. I've toggled the hold switch and no change.
I've tried connecting to different USB ports, different computers, and different dock cable but no change.
Any suggestions?

I have been having the same problem as the OP and would ususally just let the ipod run out its battery. Seeing as this means you have no ipod for about a day I came on these forums. I didn't know how to reset the ipod until reading this thread and it worked for me. I was just wondering if there is a way to aviod the ipod hardlocking in the first place, its only started happening after I reformatted it from pc to mac.
thanks.

IPod stuck in "Do not disconnect" after Restore

My iPod was stuck and iTunes told me to restore it. I left it alone in restoration mode for 24 hours since it said "Do not disconnect." Now, I have tried disconnecting USB and reconnecting and restarting computer. When I disconnect it, the iPod says "Connect to your computer; use iTunes to restore." I can't believe it could take this long to restore. Is there anything else I can do?

Give this a shot and see what happens:

Be sure to click on any embedded links that could possibly pertain to your situation, or even to just get more info on your iPod. There is a link for tutorials in there that EVERYONE could probably benefit from. Another link you could probably benefit from is "disconnect screens" towards the bottom. Look that over carefully as well.

IPod stuck in "Do Not Disconnect"

My computer locked up during update, and I had to reboot. However, my iPod is now stuck for the past hour in "Do Not Disconnect".
Anyone got some suggestions to free the iPod from this lockup?

I've been having sorta the same problem. When I'm finished with an sync of the iPod, the Do Not Disconnect stays on and on and on, and finally, after several minutes, allows me to disconnect. (And yes, I have it set to Automatic. If you set the iPod to manual, you have to manually "eject" it to disconnect.)
Odd, I wonder if others are having this problem? Another issue might be the fact that it happens on USB 1.1.

Ipod Stuck in "boot Loop" and itunes says I'm not connected to the internet.

Aright well I'm having a huge problem fixing my ipod.    Let's start at the beginning, i wanted to put new music onto my ipod but itunes wasn't detecting my ipod, it said i have to restore my ipod to factory settings, so i manually did it from the ipod it's self.   When it started to boot up again it just froze at the apple logo. and the loading wheel is stuck. after some research i found out that its called "boot loop" and the only way to fix this is to restore it from itunes itself.
sounds simple enough, so i go ahead and connect the ipod to itunes and try to restore it (via DFU mode) The restore wont happen because it says im not connected to the Internet, when clearly i am.      So in a nutshell..   in order to restore my ipod.. i need to get itunes to recognize that I'm connected to the Internet.
I've done everything i can think of,   make sure my firewall isn't interfering and itunes is enabled. The Internet proxy is what it needs to be. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.   I actually chatted with a apple tech and he couldn't seem to help me out.
If anyone can help me or has been in this situation and know's exactly what to do.   please let me know.. it would be greatly appericated

That was the first thing I tried..what the site told me, but its still telling me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. Should I just delete everything by hand. Like I said I wanted to take it back and upgrade to the 80 gig ipod.

IPod stuck in "do not disconnect" and NOT recognized by iTunes

I updated to 7.1.1.... and my iPod is not stuck in "do Not disconnect" and not recognized by iTunes.
I have tried the Toshiba "Safely Remove Hardware" -- and selecting the iPOD -- but, notice comes back "cannot disconnect now because a program is accessing the device."
Anyone know where I can go from here??? Thanks very much.

the same thing happened to me yesterday after downloading the new itunes 7.1.1 the do not dissconnect would'nt go off and computer and itunes would'nt reconize my ipod video.
so i left it alone overnight to empty battery completely.
the do not disconnect was gone in the morning then i recharged it and plugged it back in to computer and everything is fine. i don't know why it froze on me.
my husbands ipod mini had a similar problem awhile back and i did the same and it also was fine.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.
