My ipod won't turn on and it won't stop displaying do not disconnect

The do not disconnect icon will not go away but my ipod also won't come up on my itunes so i can't eject it from there. so i just disconnected the cord anyways because i was annoyed. now it won't turn on and keeps showing the folder with the ! and under it apple.com/suppport/ipod and when that goes away the do not disconnect icon comes back up. any hope that i can fix it without sending it in? thanks!

My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off. The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen. It won't turn off and won't come completely on. Anyone know what is wrong?

See if this lets the iPad start up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I've had my 120GB iPod since Christmas and it just happened to me now. I put it into my friend's iPod dock because she was complaining it wasn't working, and I wanted to see if it would work for other iPods. My iPod showed the charging screen, then promptly shut off.
Hope this problem gets fixed or recognized soon, I don't want to have to switch to CDs in my car again!

MacBook Pro won't turn on and it won't charge

My MacBook has been working fine and has been charging until now. I left my laptop in without it being plugged in and I presume the laptop died when it ran out of battery. I plugged my charger into laptop but I noticed that there was no charging light on the mag lite charger. I tried plugging my laptop in at different plug sockets and I've tried using a different charger but my laptop still won't charge it turn on. I've only had it just over a year. Any ideas anyone?

ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks very much,
Fern

FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

Ipad won't turn on, and reset won't work ??

My Ipad won't turn on, tried a reset but still nothing, any ideas??

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Help! My iPod will not stop displaying "Do not Disconnect"

I have had my iPod since December 2004 and sync with iTunes on Windows XP. I have had no troubles until I installed iTrip (FM transmitter). Now I encounter the problem that whenever iTunes updates my iPod, my iPod continues to display the "Do not disconnect" warning after iTunes says it's ok to disconnect. I have tried ejecting the disk, but it says it is using other files. The only way I can disconnect the iPod is shutting down the computer. I have reset the iPod and it continues to have this problem

I have tried ejecting the iPod mini, and I have made sure that using the iPod as disk was unchecked. Oddly enough, during this phase, the iPod does show up as a disk. Since this post I have found a way to get around the problem. I was using iTunes for subscribing to podcasts. I have stopped and delected the subscribed podcasts, and this seems to be working.

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen goes out and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. Any suggestions?

My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely. Push until they click in place. It solved the problem. The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep. Hope this helps.

My ipod won't stop saying "do not disconnect"

When I try to sync my iPod with my new computer, the computer acts like it is done sync-ing (I think), but the iPod itself never stops displaying "Do not disconnect"

If apart from the "Do Not Disconnect" your iPod is working normally and updating then you probably have it enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes 6.x go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has 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 are using iTunes 7, connect your iPod and in when it appears in the source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Then under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync all songs and playlists. In Summary remove the tick from "enable disk use" 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 check this link: Safely Disconnect iPod

The screen on my iPod touch is white and won't turn off and on?

I was charging my iPod and forgot about it after a couple days and now my screen is white and won't turn on and off and I held hold button and button on screen for 10 seconds and it didn't do anything. HELP

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.
