Itunes says "update complete" but "do not disconnect" never goes away!

So, I wait and wait and "do not disconnect" on my ipod never goes away.
A little history:
I got my nano a few weeks ago, put a few songs on - everything worked fine. Then, I got a new computer. Since I only put a few songs on, I didnt mind starting from scratch. Now, I can't seem to get it to work!? I have songs in itunes. when i click on my ipod, it shows that i have songs on the ipod, it SAYS the update is complete, my ipod shows "do not disconnect" i wait for ages, and then finally just eject the ipod, and - NO SONGS are on it.
help please. thanks

Do not disconnect always on, this happens when you have "enable disk use" ticked in the iPod preferences, in which case you have to manually eject your iPod.
However if you are automatically updating your iPod and do not intend using it as a portable hard drive, you can set your iPod to automatically disconnect.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer

IPod keeps showing "do not disconnect"

when i connect my iPod to the computer, it shows "do not disconnect"
but after im done updating my iPod, it suppose to show "ok to disconnect", but all it does is flashing the stop sign and telling me "do not disconnect".
it only stops when i disconnect it from the computer...
.help needed......thanks

''does it mean that i can't use my ipod as a hard disk if i uncheck "enable disk use" ?''
Yes. You must have the box checked to use iPod as a hard disk, and always unmount/eject iPod before unplugging it.
'' don't like to update my ipod because the process restores everything in my ipod''
If you choose to restore the iPod, all data is lost, but just by updating the iPod, all of your data stays on the iPod.
Make sure you have the latest iPod Updater

"Do not Unplug" never goes away

Our nano continues to say "Do not unplug" even after iTunes says it's done updating. What do we do?

If you have enabled disk use for the iPod, the do not disconnect message will not disappear on its own; in this case, several ways of ejecting the iPod are described in this article.

DO NOT DISCONNECT SCRREN NEVER GOES AWAY!!

Hey i have an Ipod nano, 2 gen i think, 2gb. When I plug it into my computer the "Do Not Disconnect" screen on my Ipod goes up, and even when it's done uploading that screen NEVER goes away, it still charges, but that screen doesn't allow me to listen to my music when it's charging. Can I fix this?

Yes You can fix this easily. First let the Ipod download files from computor(known as sync), once it has downloaded, then click on the nano drive on the desktop, from the file menu click on eject nano or use the apple key(next to space bar) along with the e Key, push these two bottons at the same time. after the nano drive symbol disapears from the desktop, the do not disconnect will be replaced with a charging sybol, and you will then be able to play all tunes on your nano while it's being chared. When the nano is charge it will change the nano display to an electrical plug. Have fun!

HT1339 My iPod classic shows that memory full in "other" category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar never goes away.

My iPod classic shows that memory full in other category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar never goes away. Is it shot or are there other options to restore to factory settings?

Hi pbworth,
When troubleshooting issues with iPod classic, it may be helpful to place the iPod into Disk Mode. For information on how to do so:

TS1373 my 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I

my 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do? it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

Nano keeps saying "do not disconnect"

I have up loaded songs and my itunes recognizes my nano just fine but everytime I plug it in it just keeps saying "do not disconnect" and it never goes away. Even after it syncs and the battery is completely charged. I don't know if maybe I'm doing something wrong or even hurting my ipod.
Please help.

Have a look in "My Computer" and see if it is listing your iPod in there. Alternatively try using the "Safely Remove Hardware" function on Windows. That should disconnect the iPod and allow you to unplug it.
To find iPod options, in iTunes click on "EDIT" then "PREFERENCES" then "iPod" then "Music" You should have a list of options:-
Automatically update all songs and playlists
Automatically update selected playlists only
Manually manage songs and playlists
If the third option is checked then it will not disconnect automatically.
Lower down the page are more options
Only update checked songs
Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
Enable disk use
Display album artwork on your iPod
If "Enable disk use" is checked, then again it will not disconnect automatically.
To manually disconnect, right click on your iPod's name and then left click on eject.
If that lot doesn't work, then that is the limit of my expertise.

Software Center icon in system tray never goes away

Hi
We are in the process of migrating sccm 2007 to 2012 and noticed the Software Center icon sits in the system tray and never goes away. The system does not have new software available for awhile and the system was also rebooted. We are seeing this on many
machines. What is the expected behavior? I have attached an image.
This never goes away.

open the software center and look for any applications made available in 'available software' tab. You can hide this window by disabling the setting from Client Settings: Computer Agent\Show notifications for new deployments = "False".
You can also configure the User Experience\User Notifications configuration setting for the app deployment to "Display in Software Center, and only show notifications for computer restarts".

Splash Screen never goes away

I'll post this again because a lot of people are having this same problem, but to my knowledge no one has solved it.
In Compressor 3.5.1, when you load Compressor the splash screen appears but never goes away until you click "About Compressor" and then click on the splash screen, then it will disappear. I have trashed preferences and the problem persists.

I finally found a fix that helped me out on 2 different problems:
First was the issue with the green bar appearing on the right side of the frame.
Second, the Compressor Splash screen never disappeared after it had finished loading. Once you clicked on About Compressor then the splash screen it would finally disappear. This didn't cause any performance issues.
Thanks to monoschluzz in the following post for the directions to fix this nagging issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10575848#10575848
Here are the directions he provided:
Stop all rendering in Compressor. From the Compressor Menu choose "quit all background processing" and close Comressor. Open a Finder window, choose " got to folder " from Finder's "go to" menu and type
/var/spool/qmaster/
Done that you're in the "Qmaster" folder. In that folder there are one or more weird named folders (random numbers & characters - i.e. 76646663-DD71D83A)
Delete that weird named folder (NOT the Qmaster folder itself) and restart Compressor.
At this point I was able to render clean mov's without nasty green pixels.
Hope that helps!

Mail is checked continuously. The "thinking circle" never goes away

The little "thinking circle" right beside the 3g label in the top left hand corner never goes away in my mail app. This just started happening within the past week. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't chewing up my battery and bandwidth. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can make it stop?
I have mail set to check every 15 minutes, but it just keeps checking continuously. I check yahoo and gmail accounts.

My Ipad started doing the same thing this past week(5-6 times,and I am on manual), I tried switching app's and going back and it was still running. I then went to email sent, and after the sent mail was loaded I went back to mail, and it then loaded my new messages. suerte...

Ipod classic not connecting (not even showing 'do not disconnect' on Ipod)

Help! I have an ipod classic and, since I upgraded to itunes 9, I have noticed that, all of a sudden, my ipod won't connect at all.
When I connect the USB cable to the ipod, the screen lights up but does not start charging nor does it show 'do not disconnect', and the ipod is obviously not recognised by Itunes. I have tested the same USB port on my printer with no problems, so it doesn't seem to be the port. I have also tried downgrading to itunes 8 with no problems. I have tested the cable and ipod on another computer and it worked fine. I am basically all out of ideas as to how to fix it.
When I restart the computer with the ipod plugged in, the ipod briefly starts charging and shows 'do not disconnect' before disappearing after a few seconds. It is a total mystery to me.
Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever? I am getting desperate!!!

I have the same problem as you describe it. My iPod Classic 160GB freezes up when I plug the apple usb cable into the iPod. I am using Windows 7 64bit, and iTunes v9.0.2.25 64bit for Windows Vista & Windows 7. Firmware 2.0.3 PC. And I do not have this problem with my iPod Classic 80GB.
This is the workaround to the problem: Reset your iPod. You need to hold down the center button and MENU button TOGETHER, and wait for the iPod to start resetting. Then release the buttons. When the Reset completes, it should start synchronizing normally.

My Ipod keeps saying "Do not disconnect" and the update ipod is not working

Hi,
I just got my ipod nano a couple of days ago and after loading the itunes and then plugging in the ipod i unplugged it when it said do not disconnect without thinking. Now when i plug in my nano it keeps saying do not disconnect and although the ipod symbol appears on the itunes, no instructions have popped up to explain how the music transfers even though it says it in the booklet and when i click file the update ipod button isn't clickable. I'm just wondering if there's anything i could do

HT201401 The red dot on my voicemail icon never goes away. I have no messages, but it will never go away. Any ideas?

Hi there, just got my new iPhone 4s & the red dot is always on my voicemail icon on the bottom of my homepage. So I check & I have no messages, yet it never goes away. Any ideas, or is it just a glitch in my new phone?

I just had this problem and this is how I resolved it (with the help of an Apple tech)
Go into setings and see if you have Celular Data turned on.
Settings / General / Cellular - Then turn Cellular Data to ON
