Keep getting error message when trying to eject iPOD nano

When trying to eject iPOD, getting error message ..."cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". No other application is open but iTUNES. What does this mean? and are there any tricks to get it to eject?

Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
Usually rebooting will force it to let go

  • I keep getting error message when trying to sign in for iMessage with my Apple ID since upgrading to iOS 7

    I keep getting error messages when I try to activate iMessage on my iPad since installing iOS7. Anyone else having this issue or a solution. I can obviously sign in with the same Apple ID information/password as I have done here and I am connecting with Wifi now and in all other apps.

    After looking at some other posts I signed into iTunes and edited my password with my Mac. Then I powered off and restarted my iPad and all is good now.

  • HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

    I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own.  Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad.  I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update.  I am on my home wifi on my iPad.  Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Why do I keep getting error message when trying to update iPad with ios7?

    Keep getting error message ios7 won't validate? Can I reset iPad and download again? Will I lose data on iPad if reset?

    NMAYO,
    In your project view can you right click on the chassis in the cRIO and make sure that it is set for Scan Mode and not FPGA mode? Also, In the measurement and automation explorer you can check the cRIO and verify that it has Scan Engine Support installed on it. The tutorial below shows how to reformat a cRIO and install software on it, the later steps on software will allow you to check your cRIO.

    That typically indicates a problem with your VBScript. See the following troubleshooting article:

  • I keep getting error messages when trying download a tv show in iTunes

    I have been trying to download this for two days now, and I keep getting various error messages. The latest have been -3256, -42, -3271. All telling me to check my network connection (which is working just fine) or telling me that there are too many files open (even when iTunes was the only thing open). I've restarted iTunes several times, and I've restarted my computer twice as well, but it still comes up. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I really would like to watch this video I'm downloading.

    This could be an issue with security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc) on your computer conflicting with iTunes. Either disable the software or configure it to properly run with iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
    Basically, you will need to allow ports 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP) access in your security software.

  • I keep getting error messages when trying to sync my Iphone

    I am not sure what the heck is going on.... the syncing has been running smooth up until now and I am not sure why it is all of a sudden doing this. I keep getting 2 error messages....
    #1 being "The Iphone "Nikki's Iphone" cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
    and
    #2 Itunes cannot sync apps to the Iphone "Nikki's Iphone" because the apps installed on the phone could not be determined.....
    My Iphone has the latest OS system and my Itunes is up to date.... what is going on????

    I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....
