Mini won't eject from iTunes 9.2.0.61

I upgraded to 9.2.0.61 about a month ago. Almost all works well, except my iTunes won't eject my iPod mini.
First, I get an error message that seems to come from Windows. It says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:
Then, iTunes says "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". I have not used the iPod as a HDD in any way other than in connection with iTunes. Further, I never got this message before upgrading iTunes to a newer version - it disconnected correctly before the upgrade.
For now, I have to force the disconnection through Windows, after closing iTunes.
The iPod is set for "manually manage music". When I close iTunes, it briefly throws up a message "syncing iPod", but no content is changed.
Ideas?

I've now updated to iTunes 10 and still have the same problem.

A CD is stuck in my MACBook pro: doesn't show on desktop and won't eject from iTunes?

A CD is stuck in my MacBook Pro, doesn't appear on desktop and won't eject? Help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To force eject the CD, hold the trackpad while your Mac is starting, so it will be ejected.
If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your MacBook Pro is starting, and type:
drutil eject
exit
If it doesn't work, the SuperDrive is damaged, so it has to be replaced at an Apple Store or reseller. A cheaper way is to get an external disc drive

How can I eject a disk that won't eject from my iBook G4?

What can I do to eject a disk, that won't eject. from my iBook G4?

If it is trying to eject and won't it may be that the slot opening
is blocked by the protective cover. Mine was torn and after a couple of attempts
to repair it I ended up removing it.

Ipod mini won't charge from mains.

My ipod mini won't charge from the mains lead or a dock but works fine with the usb lead. I've tried different leads, sockets and resetting it but nothing works. It's a pain because if I go away from home for any length of time, I need to take my laptop just to charge it up.
ipod mini Windows XP

I say try a different charger. When I wanted to avoid having to take my laptop everywhere, I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BNZLGE/ref=pdcp_etitle/002-2209999-2570423?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=172282
and it's worked fine in the six months I've had it... and besides it would cost under $10 to find the root of the problem, much more than Apple would charge, that's for sure.

Is it possible to charge Ipod5G in Windows 2000 after ejecting from Itunes?

Is it possible to charge Ipod5G in Windows 2000 after ejecting from Itunes? but keeping it connected? I'm using a fairly powerful and new computer at work...loaded with Win2K (2000), and for some reason it doesnt want to charge once I've ejected it from Itunes.
My home computer with Windows XP works fine with this, I can eject, but keep it connected so it charges while i watch videos, or listen to music.
Can anyone help?
also...the computer at work does have USB 2, and can charge properly...but only if the ipods screen says "DO NOT DISCONNECT"
Thanks folks!

I have the same problem and the cause is with Windows 2000. My pc has USB 2.0 and no hardware problems either with the computer, ipod or cables. Basically Windows seems to be shutting down the power for the USB port as soon as Itunes completes its update every time. So the ipod gets a charge for a minute or two and that's it.
I have just been using another pc for the charge which is annoying - haven't found a solution yet although fiddling with the settings so that itunes is only started up manually may be a good workaround.
Other people have had the same problem in Win 2k with other models -

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
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 Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

HT4059 my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

Hi, debikay45.
Test to see if you can download a free application from the App Store. If this was successful, test downloading the book again. Try closing all open applications and power cycling the device, test the results. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. If these results were unsuccessful, see the steps in the article below that refer to iOS.
Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
Test using another network.
Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
mzstatic.com
Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:Windows:
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
Click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" and then click Date and Time.
Click the Date & Time tab.
Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time and then click OK.
Mac OS X:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Date & Time.
Enable the option to "Set date and time automatically" if it is not.
Click the Time Zone tab and adjust the time zone to match your current location.
iOS:
From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:
Windows:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account.
Refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
You can also check using iTunes Diagnostics if you are recognized as an administrator by iTunes.
Mac OS X:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account. To become an administrator account, from the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Accounts.
You may need to unlock the lock in the bottom-left corner of the window to make changes. If you can unlock the lock, you are already an admin user.
Under the account you are using, it may say "Standard." Enable the option to "Allow user to administer this computer" to make the user an admin account user.
From the Apple () menu, choose Log Out.
Log back in and return to using iTunes. Test to see if the issue is resolved.
iOS: Restrictions can limit your ability to purchase some content. Check restrictions via Settings> General > Restrictions if you're unsure about those settings.
After isolating the issue to iTunes by following the above steps:
If the issue still occurs and iTunes displays an alert message with a specific code, please see the section below titled "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" for additional troubleshooting steps.
If the issue is still not resolved and there is no specific code or alert message, you can visit the iTunes Store Discussion Board to try to find additional information for help resolving your issue:
You can also contact AppleCare to discuss your support options. Depending on your product’s coverage status, you may need to pay for support.

Mini skips purchase music from iTunes 6

I've read over some other topics but nothing has been helpful, so here's my issue. I downloaded iTunes 6 and transferred songs I purchased to my Mini. When I try to play the songs, the Mini just skips it and goes on to the next song. Software is 1.4 (up to date). I tried deleted the songs and adding them again -- same result.
It's a new mini, so I'm not sure why this has happened.
Any suggestions?

Hi: I had this problem with my Mac/Mini, purchased song played fine on computer, looked like it copied to Mini, but kept getting skipped when I disconnected iPod. I tried erasing the song from my Mini, resetting, and recopying from iTunes but the problem remained.
I filled out a complaint form and Apple sent me another copy of the song. I downloaded it to my computer, copied to the Mini, and it worked fine when I disconnected the iPod. The second time, I payed more attention to everything and noticed that when disconnecting the iPod, synching took longer than it had previously, and would stop and start before fully completing. I probably disconnected the iPod too early when I was having the probelm.
Apple has since released a new version of iTunes (6.0.1) that may address synching speed or continuity. Hope this helped!

Ipod stuck in DO NOT Disconnect mode, will not eject from itunes

I just got this thing replaced, my Ipod can't disconnect from my computer! It is in DO NOT disconnect mode, I try to eject it from itunes and it says that files are being used by another application, I log out of my computer and it still won't let it go

So the iPod remains in My Computer and in iTunes and won't disconnect? You should try shutting down or restarting your computer.
Or does it disappear from My Computer and iTunes but still says Do Not Disconnect? » http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93492

HT1535 Songs won't transfer from iTunes to iPod touch

I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPod touch (5th gen). When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to drag songs onto it from my iTunes library, it says 'updating files' but gets then gets stuck. I keep trying and have waited for over 30 minutes for one song to transfer but it just isn't working. The songs show up in my iPod's music library but they are greyed out and do not show up on my actual iPod. Also, when I tried to transfer purchased from my ipod to iTunes, I kept getting an error message but that has now worked. There is plenty of free space on my ipod so that can't be the problem. This is a recent problem and I was able to do both of these tasks easily a couple of weeks ago. My iPod is up to date and I updated iTunes in case that was the problem but it has not helped. I've ran out of ideas and don't know what else to do now! Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

Find one of the songs in iTunes that won't sync to the iPod, and try to play it (just double click the file in iTunes). Do you get an error message? If so, let us know what it is, as this will probably explain why it can't be transferred to the iPod.

Music won't download from itunes to iphone

Hiya,
I have purchased music from Itunes App on my iPhone (4S with iOS7 update) and now it won't download to my music without being connected to the computer. There are no restrictions to my data usage, iCloud is correctly signed in. I have no trouble downloading other apps or books; only music. Can anyone help me fix it please? (Obviously I could just plug my phone into the computer and do it that way but I'd like to be able to download without doing so)
Thanks in advance,

I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to after update

After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
No difference if wire or wifi.
My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
Anybody see similare issues?

YES! Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all. Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi. My mac won't recognize my iphone at all. Doesn't even show up in finder. Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer C309g won't print from iTunes

My C309G won't print anything from iTunes. Anybody have any luck fixing this problem? Thanks.

Hi - Got this from another user on the forum. Go into Printers and Devices (from start menu), right click on the C309G and there should be a Properties option. Select Properties and click Advanced. the default is "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster", and then "Start printing immediately". Change it to "Print directly to the printer". This resolved the problem for a number of users.
Hope that helps.
Say Thanks by clicking the Kudos thumbs up. Please mark the post that solves your problem as an Accepted Solution so other forum users can utilize the solution.

IPOD won't update from iTunes

Jeez, I thought that iTunes/iPOD would be pretty simple; move music from here to there. I have been using for over a year with no problem, but within the latest couple of upgrades to iTunes, my iPOD will no longer update correctly. I have spent over 6 hours trying to figure this crap out, and it still won't work. YEAH, I have the latest Updater/iPOD software installed, and the latest iTunes. Plug in my iPOD, and it says its updating, and I can see the new music on the iPOD from iTunes, but its NOT ON MY IPOD when I unplug and try and play. The other day I formatted the dang thing, and spent five hours moving music; next day added two additional songs to the library, and they will not move to the iPOD. Have tried moving manually, but they still will not play on the iPOD.
What kind of crap are you giving us??? If iTunes/iPOD won't do what its supposed to do (move music from here to there), then I don't want to mess around with it. If you can't move my music properly, why would I put my Contacts/Calendars on this device?
Support: Forget about it! Post a message in a Discussion Group and hope for the best. Forget about actually calling someone and asking for help, even though you paid top dollar for your 30gb iPOD. I'm starting to look for some fool to buy it and let them deal with it. Oh Yeah, by the way, the screen is scratched even though I bought a PROTECTIVE case for it.
Several people in our office were interested in purchasing an iPOD, iShuffle and I have convinced them to look elsewhere.
Two people in our office recently purchased iShuffles that did not work...
