My nano says connected eject before disconnecting what does that mean

I plugged my new iPod nano in a couple hours ago and it says "connected eject before disconnecting" what does that mean?

Hi Yogibear2,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article has some information on the topic:
Safely disconnect iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1853
When iPod is connected to a computer there are times when it should not be disconnected by simply unplugging the USB cable. In these cases, iPod must first be ejected before it can be safely disconnected. Read the information in this article to determine when an iPod can be safely disconnected.
Best,
Jeremy

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

Im also having this problem, it used to work fine, then one day just came up with this CONNECTED EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING message when USB plugged in and Itunes does not recognise the IPOD so I cant disconnect it.
I have tried re-setting it (several times).
Have tried downloading latest software

Tried going into MY COMPUTER and ejecting from my devices but its frozen out
Any help much appreciated as its new but totally useless now

IPod says connected,eject before disconnecting with a pict. Of the USB cable. It does this after its been charging and I can not access the menus. Any solutions?a

iPod seems to be frozen. After it has been charing and I remove it foamy PC! It says "connected, eject before disconnecting" with a picture of the USC cable. I can not proceed with this on the screen. Should I reconnect to my pc and do something differently?

Try to perform a hard reset of the iPod, which is about the equivalent of rebooting your PC. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position. Then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Do you have anything connected to the dock connector of the iPod like a dock or cable?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Restore from backup. See:

HT4060 My ipad has been charging most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

I've been charging my ipad most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device. Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

It sounds like you might have accidently copied Chess over from an Intel Mac, or an Intel Mac's installer DVD. The architecture typically means it is designed uniquely for either Intel or PowerPC. Be sure to extract Chess from the 10.5 Retail installer disc that looks like * and not any other disk. http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist lets you extract individual applications from installers without having to reinstall everything.

Almost every what? Have you tried resetting the iPod? See this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or is not responding.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
and also is there any way to get all ur phurchases back
Every time you download music from the iTunes store Apple have to pay the artist royalties, so the official stance from Apple is that purchases from the iTunes music store can only be downloaded one time. Then, you must pay again.
This is why you are prompted to back this music up to a cd or dvd.
Some people say that they've been allowed a re-download for various reasons when they've contacted Apple.
You can only ask but please be aware that Apple are not obligated to do this for you.

HT1222 I have the last generation iPad 4 and seem to not update software iOS 7 it says can't install coz I'm no longer connected to the Internet when I see I clearly am connected to the Internet what does that mean

HELP

Exactly how are you trying to update? OTA (over the air) via the device? If so, instead try to update by connecting the device to your syncing PC with the latest version of iTunes installed.
