My ipod is stuck on the do not disconnect screen

I recently found an ipod and i plugged it in to my computer because my mom has an ipod already. After plugging it in it went to the do not disconnect screen. its been stuck this way for 2 days. Is this because my computer does not recognize this new ipod or what any advice..........

Try holding down menu and the center button for a few seconds, until the apple symbol appears. This has always worked for me

Reset the iPod. (hold down the menu and center button). If that doesn't work, try a restore with the iPod updater.

My ipod classic froze in the 'do not disconnect' screen.

I connected my ipod to my computer, and it showed the do not disconnect screen as it always does, but it froze on that screen.
Itunes is not recognising my ipod, and the ipod is doing nothing, even showing the little lock sign if I lock it.
What do I do?

What happens when my ipod classic 5th generation is stuck on the do not disconnect screen?

first you must connect it to pc or mac, then attemptto reset once that happens it should come back up and only when the red circle blinks then it will show up on itunes display again, then you push eject wait till regular ipod screen come up showing music, videos, etc, then you take of ipod usb.

My Ipod 30gig is stuck in the "Do Not Disconnect" mode

i plugged it into my macbook pro, and noticed after a while that my ipod never mounted. i looked at the ipod screen and it was in the "do not disconnect" stage. so i waited. then i went to "file" then "sync to my ipod" but the option was grey'ed out. so i restarted my computer. the ipod just stayed in the "do not disconnect" mode as the computer rebooted, and did not mount. none of the ipods buttons do anything. it does not go to sleep.

Argh, mine does that too. I would also really love a solution on this one, so therefor i'm bumping this thread

you can do is go to ijailbreak.com then select downloads section.......scroll down and see the latest version of ipod touch second generation is available for download.....when it gets downloaded connect your iPod to itunes or keep it connected then hold option and click restore (mac) search the software by writing in search "iPod" a thing with white cube will show up if it is the file you just downloaded click it and wait for itunes to do its work......you can ask more if you are on windows

How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?

How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?
I Just got my ipod nano a week ago. I put maybe 10 songs on there and then today, since I had some time, decided to start creating my library. By the time I decided to stop and plug in my nano so it can update, i had like 219 songs that had to be transferred. I watched each song on iTunes go to the ipod like usual and then my list that comes up when you select "__ ipod" is all grayed out like it's still updating. On the top of the iTunes screen, it says ipod update is complete though, and of course, my ipod has been saying do not disconnect for the past hour and a half with the battery fully charged. Does it really take that long for it to finish synching my songs? I mean I know I had a lot of songs to put on there put geez!

Hi CocoaVixen718
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try ejecting your iPod from iTunes. You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #61685 about The "Do Not Disconnect" Message and Knowledge Base Document #93492 explains How to Safely Disconnect the iPod.

My nano stays on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen...

Hello,
Recently my 1GB nano has been having problems plugging into my computer. When I plug it in, the "Do Not Disconnect" screen comes up but just freezes there. The computer nor iTunes realizes it's there either. I have to unplug it while the screen is still there and reset it. I know the iPod WORKS, since I play it on the docking station I got for Christmas.
This started happening a while after I got iTunes 7. I figured updating it was the problem, so I went back to 6, but apparently that didn't work either. I'm not sure it's the computer, since my friend's 30GB iPod showed up in Explorer (although apparently it needed iTunes 7 to work, so I'm not 100% positive on it yet).
I've just redownloaded iTunes 7 again, but the problem persists... It's making me really angry because I can't put any new music onto it. If anyone can help I'd be SOOOO grateful. ^_^

Ok, my friend brought over his 30GB again, and he updated it with some stuff I have on my computer. That means it has to be something with my nano, right? It's really confusing me and I want it fixed...
Someone please help. ;_;

Plese help?

PS i took it to get it fixed and they said they changed the battery not sure if that had anything to do with it????
please help and Thank You.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Help! iPod is stuck "On" with Do Not Disconnect

This is my first time to join in the forum. I connected my iPod vedeo to my Dell computer to update it. I forgot that I had the iPod locked (pushed to Hold). The Do NOt Disconnect appeared as always. I came back in the room 10 minutes later and the DND message was still on and it had not updated. It apparently did not recognize my iPod. After trying to get it turned off (the DND message is still there and the buttons are not responding) I finally disconnected it anyway. There was no other choice. It is still "On" with Do Not Disconnect. I can't get it to turn off.

welcome
do a reset.. push and hold the middle button and the menu button at the same time for 10 seconds..this may take a few trys and it works best if hooked to power..
good luck

ITunes won't recognize my iPod touch after a failed update--my iPod is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen

Yesterday, I had bought myself an ipod touch and it was working just fine until today when I went along with an itunes prompt to update my ipod. It failed to update and now won't recognize it, I checked to see if it was recognized by my computer--and it is, but a thing pops up that says "access denied" whenever I try to click on it. The screen on my ipod is stuck wanting me to connect to itunes.
