HT1853 My laptop lost connection with itunes while my ipod was in do not disconnect mode. My ipod will not respond now and still shows do not disconnect?

My ipod was connected to my laptop and in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. My computer rebooted after security scan and now my iPod is stuck in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. The iPod will not turn off, nor will my itunes recognize it is connect.

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My Ipod keeps saying "Do not disconnect" and the update ipod is not working

Hi,
I just got my ipod nano a couple of days ago and after loading the itunes and then plugging in the ipod i unplugged it when it said do not disconnect without thinking. Now when i plug in my nano it keeps saying do not disconnect and although the ipod symbol appears on the itunes, no instructions have popped up to explain how the music transfers even though it says it in the booklet and when i click file the update ipod button isn't clickable. I'm just wondering if there's anything i could do

Used IPod Updater - IPod keeps saying Do Not Disconnect

I had to restore my IPod because of an issue with it. Now when I plug the IPod into my computer it says I need to use the IPod Updater to update my software. I did this last nite at 6 PM and it still says Do Not Disconnect. It has been almost 12 hrs. Help! I would like to use it on my business trip coming up.

Updating the iPod software shouldn’t take any longer than a few minutes.
First of all, try clicking on the little x in the top corner, which might take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets stuck.
If this doesn’t work, shut down the computer, disconnect the iPod, restart the computer, run the updater again, and connect the iPod when prompted.

HT1435 my ipod is saying do not disconnect

I'm trying to add music to an older ipod, and I have a message on the screen saying, do not disconnect and it's been showing for awhile.

If the iPod is set to Manually Manage Music (on it's Summary screen in iTunes), you need to eject the iPod before disconnecting it. The Eject button is next to the iPod's name, to the right. After ejecting, the DO NOT DISCONNECT message should not be there.

Can I switch off my computer while my nano is saying "Do not disconnect"?

Please help me. This morning I couldn't switch my nano off - only on the docking speakers so I looked at the online help, tried resetting and then decided to try the update and or restore. When I plugged the iPod in, iTunes asked me if I wanted to update the software so I said yes, updated it and then the computer said it needed to be switched off. I said I would switch off later (as my nano was plugged in and I didn't want to ruin it). Then I used the software to update the iPod - but afterwarsd it says do not diconnect all the time and iTunes says that the files are being used by another application. I have also tried restoring the iPod twice. Still the same. Now I am stuck with the iPod in the computer saying don't disconnect - WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE!
nano Windows XP

is it in disc mode? go to the bottom right of your start bar and find the little gray box looking thing with the green arrow pointing left, right click this and hit remove hardware, a dialog box will come up, click stop on usb storage device or whatever it says and it should say it is now safe to remove your hardware and your ipod screen should go to the main menu or the charging screen.

IPod not showing up in itunes, iPod screen says Do Not Disconnect

I just got a nano, and installed the itunes software on the computer. It was working fine, I even put some songs in it, the Do Not Disconnect screen came up, and so I hit the eject button. As soon as I did that, the PC froze and so did the nano. Now, whenever I put the iPod in the USB port, and open itunes, the Do Not Disconnect Screen comes up, and the iPod is not listed under the Source list in itunes. What can I do?

That happened to me on numerous occasions. if you have more than one user on your computer using itunes, it may be connecting to the other user.
also if you have a window's computer, this link may help.

After connecting my ipod, it won't my ipod stop saying "Do not disconnect"

HP Windows XP

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

Won't show up on mac and say "do not disconnect"

Hi, I've had my 60 GB iPod for about a year now and suddenly now it won't show up on my desktop when I plug it in. The iPod screen says "do not disconnect" though, and after I just pull it out the message doesn't go away and I have to wait for the power to die before I can use it again. Is it starting to break down?

Homer...this very same thing has happened to me today. Have you found a solution yet?

My Computer Frozen While My iPod Was Loading Songs

My PC froze randomly while I was loading songs on to my iPod. The iPod said and still says "Do Not Disconnect" even though the computer is froze completely. The whole PC is frozen and I have to use my laptop to post this. Should I disconnect my iPod even though it says "Do Not Disconnect" or shut down my computer while leaving my iPod plugged in?

or shut down my computer while leaving my iPod plugged in?
That's what I would do. Then disconnect the iPod and reset it.
