ITunes automatically disconnects after updating

Hi I just got a 60GB video iPod and before I had it set to not update any videos and so it would update all my songs and then just stay connected. It would say "iPod update is complete" or whatever the message is, and on the desktop I could still see the iPod icon.
However, recently I decided to update my videos and clicked on "Automatically update all videos" and so it updated my videos and they're successfully on my iPod, but the minute it updates it automatically disconnects from my computer, the icon disappears from the desktop, and you can use the iPod (scroll, listen to songs, etc.) even though it's still plugged into my computer. Also, iTunes doesn't seem to register that it's been disconnected because it still acts like it's there with the whole "Your iPod" and the greyed song titles and all, and I have to "eject the iPod" for iTunes to go back to normal as though it's not connected.
Now, my question is: is this normal? Should iTunes be automatically disconnecting but still not registering this? Could this be because I tried to plug my iPod nano in before I tried to update my iPod video and now my computer is confused about things? Sorry if this is a really stupid question; I just got the MacBook Pro and this is my first ever Apple computer so I'm a little lost, but thanks to anyone who replies to this!! I truly appreciate your efforts

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
The automatic disconnect is also normal in this mode. You can either enable your iPod for disc use or if you change to manually updating this will be enabled by default. In either of these cases it will remain mounted and has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away.Safely disconnect iPod

  • 80 Gig - Automatically disconnects after update

    I have tried to search for this query but cannot find one like it, hence a new post but soory it is a duplicate.
    I am running iTunes 7.02.16 and my iPod is an 80 gig with 1.2.1 firmware. it is set to sync automatically upon connection with itunes.
    Q - for some reason my iPod has started to automatically disconnect when it has completed it's update. I have to reconnect to alter settings or change preferences on the iPod.
    No other obvious problems. and I have tried the usual resets except the iPod restore.
    Help and advice much appreciated. Thanks.

    It will stay connected after sync if you enable disk use in the ipod settings on itunes. This means you'll have to manually eject it when you want to disconnect it.

  • ITunes not loading after update to OS X Yosemite

    Running a Mac Mini... after updating to Yosemite a week or so ago, I haven't been able to load and run iTunes. No error messages, nothing, just won't run. I've tried restarting, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling iTunes and restarting, and nothing. What's going on? Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. iTunes doesn't work in safe mode, but it should launch. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Itunes not working after update..help please

    I updated my itunes to 10.4 and since then it will not connect to the itunes store and synching is not working either.  I've emailed Apple and tried their suggestions with no luck.  There was a recent post on here in June with success and it was something to do with a proxy server??? Can someone help me reinstate my itunes please...i miss it!!!

    Disconnect all devices from your computer.  If you have not already done so after updating iTunes, repair permissions and restart your computer.  If this does not work, b oot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.

    I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

  • Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

    Hello
    I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
    However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
    Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
    Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
    Cheers for the help

    Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
    When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
    However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

  • Itunes wont launch after update

    After updating Itunes the application will not launch

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • How do i fix the skipping audio on itunes 10.7. after update

    After updating itunes to 10.7 all of my music will randomly skip or become choppy. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be fixed ?

    If you run Windows Media Player does it have those tracks? WMP is a likely candidate and may have moved the tracks where it wants them to be. If so I can offer some advice on how to get WMP to leave your iTunes library alone and some scripts to repair the damage.

    Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
    Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
