my iPod is connected to my PC but constantly says "do not disconnect"  it won't allow me to sync

Hi EMussio,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for some help with safely disconnecting your iPod:
Safely disconnect iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1853
Once it's disconnected, follow the steps at this link to reset/restart your iPod:

If the sync issue persists, you may need to restore the iPod.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

    trying to reset my iphone and its connect to my internet but is saying "could not activate iphone"

    What model is your phone and what OS are you trying to install.  iOS 7 can only be installed on certain phones.
    Maybe someone knows the specifics?

  • Im connected to the internet but itunes says im not

    I updated my 4 last night to 6.0 through icloud and this morning it has the cord and the itunes logo on the screen. I tried to plug it in to my PC and it tells me that there is no internet connection, so I restarted my PC plugged my 4 back in and it gave me the same message. I then ran the diagnostic check it said I have no connection when I know for a fact I do and it also said there was no device attached. I clicked on the help tab and it said to uninstall itunes and then reinstall. I did that and still I get the same message? meanwhile I cant get my phone to turn on. I tried holding down the start button and the home button it goes blank and the apple comes up I let go of the start button keep the home button pressed for 5 seconds and it just goes back to the pic of the cord and the itunes logo!
    Help! I need my phone!!

    Try again without your anti-virus, anti-anything and firewall.

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb that is disabled. on the screen it reads ipod disabled connect to itunes. But when i connect it to itunes, it says that it cant work with the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. what now?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. would someone help me?

    I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other  laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me.  Would someone help me? 

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • My iPod classic is saying "do not disconnect" but neither my MacBook Pro or iTunes is recognizing that it is plugged in.  What can I do?

    About 2 weeks ago my iPod told me that something (I forget what now) was corrupt and my iPod had to be restored to factory settings, so I did that.  Before I had a chance to resync my iPod, my harddrive in my MacBook Pro crashed and had to be replaced.  Now when I try connecting my iPod classic, my iPod says "do not disconnect" but neither my laptop or iTunes is recognizing that my iPod is plugged in.  I have tried using another cord, restarting my iPod, restarting my laptop, iTunes is up to date...what else is there that I can do to get my iPod to connect to my laptop?
    Thanks in advance!

    Try a system reset, hold down the off button until it turns of and then back on again, this might not work though if it is properly stuck. If all else fails go to Apple

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • Ipod says "do not disconnect" but is not recognized by itunes

    Okay so, I've connected my ipod to my computer and it's not being recognized. On my nano's screen it says "Do not disconnect" and has the red circle no sign flashing on it. I've updated my version of itunes, restarted my ipod, and have restarted my computer multiple times.
    It can't be the USB because quite obviously it's working... it has to either be with my macbook or my ipod.
    What's going on here?

    I am having the same problem and I tried everything to fix it. On top of that problem, my iPod won't turn off, and will only play half of a song and then skip to the next song which is very maddening! Can anyone help?
