Nano automatically disconnects itself

after plugging in the second device nano the box shows update is complete and ok to disconnect. Then the NANO automatically goes from the do not disconnect screen to the main menu to the charged icon. Why could this possibly happen????

this is well and good, but how is one supposed to change this when you only get about half a second before the ipod disconnects itself? . nvm just figured it out, if i change my playlist that is autoupdating, shoulnt i get some time to change the setting?
- worked. thanks for you help

IPod automatically disconnects itself within 5-10 seconds.

Hi All,
I've been having some problems connecting my 5th Gen iPod to my new MackBook Pro. The iPod was synced to my old MacBook (I think it was the first black MacBook model) and worked perfectly fine. When I tried connecting it to my Pro for the first time everything went swell until about 500 songs in when the iPod suddenly disconnected (with the error message asking me to eject before disconnecting). I could no longer see it in iTunes and it returned to the state where it's not plugged in and not charging. I reconnected it and tried again and it happened a lot sooner. After trying multiple times, the time it takes for the iPod to automatically disconnect itself is about 5 to 10 seconds.
I've tried multiple cords and have connected the iPod to multiple computers, which leads me to believe that it's a problem with the iPod and not the computer or the cord. I've restarted the computers, restarted the iPod, attempted to restore the iPod (but it doesn't last long enough in the dock for it to work) and played around with the disk mode setting in iTunes. The only thing I have running when I attempt to connect is iTunes. Also, I was able to synced my iPhone to iTunes with no problem at all.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

You get 90 days of free phone support after that there is a charge.
From your description your iPod may have developed a hardware problem and need to be fixed. If you bought it it August it is still under warranty so repair would be covered.
You could try some troubleshooting suggestions.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings to see if that helps.
Turn your iPod off and restart it (press on/off button for 5 seconds or so until power off indicator appears).
Reset your iPod (press on/off button and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears).
If none of this helps you can try doing a restore on your iPod (make sure you have a backup). See iTunes to do this.
Good luck.

IPOD NANO Automatically Disconnects

I have 3 IPOD's a 40gb 4th gen, a MINI and a NANO. Songs from ITUNES transfer to the older IPOD's Fine but when I try to transfer to the NANO it automatically disconnects.
I am using:
ITUNES 7.0.2.16
IPOD ver 1.1.1
I have Tried Reset and Restore on the NANO and then I can transfer some Songs but then the problem rreturns. I am only trying to download about 18 songs and have even tried to do 1 at a time. Any Suggestions?
IPOD NANO (2nd gen) 8gb Windows XP Pro 2gbRam

Ok, so I reset it while connecting to the PC. There's such a hassle of using the "Safely Remove Hardware" to 'stop' the iPod. I downloaded the latest iPod updater and reformatted the nano. Apparently there was an update sometime early last month. So I had to reformat, but it still automatically disconnected somewhere around song # 300, and this iPod had nothing else on it. I uploaded songs 50-100 at a time, and it seems to be ok since. Whew!
It seems there's a lot of trial and error on having to restart the computer, reformat the iPod, etc. I also find it helpful to go into SAFE MODE on your Windows XP PC and go into Windows/Temp and delete all these little files that pile up from somewhere. I've never been able to delete them as a logged-in user, so SAFE MODE is the only way to do it.

My ipod nano keeps disconnecting itself when plugged in, WHY?

My ipod is driving me mad. It was working fine earlier and now whenever I connect it to my laptop via USB and it's original cable, it connects (showing in itunes and on my computer icons) and then disconnects itself and then connects itself .....etc. Surley this is bad for my ipod? I've updated it once already and keeps asking me what lanuage to show when it switches back on! Please HELP! XXXX

hiya!
okay, since you've got a Toshiba laptop, let's check to see if you can get it to sync properly if the highspeed interfaces are disabled. (let's not try a restore just at the moment.)

Automatically Disconnects

Everytime i plug in my ipod (4th gen nano) sometimes it would sync and begin to upload my music then suddenly stop and says this "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Name of iPod" because of one or more errors occurred. Then it lists all the songs uploaded before the crash saying they were not found" and after that dialog box another one pops up saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "Name of iPod" failed. You do not have enough access privilages for this operation" then just automatically ejects itself.
I just don't know what to do? I re uploaded my songs, reset my iPod from the device & through iTunes. HELP?!

It could be a loose connection. Make sure you keep everything really still while syncing.
Do you get errors from Windows/iTunes when the shuffle disconnects?
If you are using a "front" USB port, you should try a "rear" USB port (you can get extension cables to avoid the need to plug the shuffle into the back of the computer).

ITunes automatically disconnects after updating

Hi I just got a 60GB video iPod and before I had it set to not update any videos and so it would update all my songs and then just stay connected. It would say "iPod update is complete" or whatever the message is, and on the desktop I could still see the iPod icon.
However, recently I decided to update my videos and clicked on "Automatically update all videos" and so it updated my videos and they're successfully on my iPod, but the minute it updates it automatically disconnects from my computer, the icon disappears from the desktop, and you can use the iPod (scroll, listen to songs, etc.) even though it's still plugged into my computer. Also, iTunes doesn't seem to register that it's been disconnected because it still acts like it's there with the whole "Your iPod" and the greyed song titles and all, and I have to "eject the iPod" for iTunes to go back to normal as though it's not connected.
Now, my question is: is this normal? Should iTunes be automatically disconnecting but still not registering this? Could this be because I tried to plug my iPod nano in before I tried to update my iPod video and now my computer is confused about things? Sorry if this is a really stupid question; I just got the MacBook Pro and this is my first ever Apple computer so I'm a little lost, but thanks to anyone who replies to this!! I truly appreciate your efforts

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
The automatic disconnect is also normal in this mode. You can either enable your iPod for disc use or if you change to manually updating this will be enabled by default. In either of these cases it will remain mounted and has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away.Safely disconnect iPod

2nd Gen. iPod nano keeps disconnecting

My 2nd Generation iPod Nano keeps disconnecting. It was working fine until I tried to delete everything, which did not work, so I resorted to clicking "Restore". The problem is that I am trying to sync podcasts only I keep getting a message: "The iPod...cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found". This is very bizzare because I also realized the iPod Nano itself keeps giving a message also: "OK to disconnect" and goes into sleep mode. I am not sure if this is a settings issue...Help!
Note: The iPod is charged.

Ummm.. didn't you read the box or Apple website BEFORE you bought it?
You've made it through almost 3 large OS updates without complaint so I don't see how Apple wronged you.
This is your fault for not looking into this beforehand. There were major changes in OSX starting with X.3 that made it so that some software would not be compatible with the operating systems below that version. iTunes is such software.
* Your nano needs iTunes 7 to sync.
* iTunes 7 does not work is OS9, OSX.1, or OSX.2
Just like it won't work in Windows 98 or ME
An operating system made FOUR and a HALF YEARS ago can not be expected to support into perpetuity hardware that did not exist back then.
Your laptop works just fine, you have no problems upgrading cheaply to X.3 (you don't NEED X.4 despite your claims) and you can cut the pathetic comparisons to how "simple" windows makes it with anything.
He11, their own Zune isn't even supported by Vista.
I for one am glad the OS is updated in approximately 12-18 month intervals instead of allowing it to languish on its laurels. The gains in features are a good thing not a curse. If you want them people are free to upgrade at their discretion. No one is forcing you to upgrade the OS and no one made you buy the Nano. The requirements are all over the place and it was your job to look into it before buying it.

Why does my iPad keep disconnecting itself from my Wi-Fi

A couple of weeks ago I noticed my iPad had disconnected itself from Wi-Fi, so reconnected and thought nothing of it. The next time I turned it on, it had disconnected again (Wi-Fi was still on though) so I clicked in to settings again and back onto my network. All works fine - good - but then the NEXT time I turned it on (from sleep, not fully off) it had disconnected AGAIN.
This has now become the norm for my iPad. Constantly disconnecting itself from the network and doesn't reconnect automatically when I fire it back up.
Can anyone think what might be causing this, it's pretty annoying.
(I've tried switching it off fully and back on. No dice...)

Hi,
Try changing your security options on your router to WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. You will need to log into your wireless router to change this.
It worked for me. Before it was dropping frequently and after the change, it is still connected over a day later.

IPod Classic immediately disconnects itself

I have owned my iPod for not even a year, and I have not done anything to it to cause disruption or error or anything of the sort. Yet when I plug it into my Macbook to sync (or any other iMac or Macbook, checked with multiple cords as well), it will immediately disconnect itself. It is not recognised by my computer, iTunes does not automatically open, it does not charge and I am unable to even reset it to factory settings as I can't access it at all. I am rather frustrated that this is happening to a new device. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey DaDann,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. The following resource(s) outlines relevant troubleshooting for this issue, it may provide a solution based on your operating system:

Automatically Disconnect your iPod?

When I first got my Nano, I swear that it disconnected automatically after updating, but still continued to charge. It no longer does that. I now have to eject it. When my niece plugs her Nano in, it disconnectes automatically. What setting do I need to change to get it to automatically disconnect again?
I tried searching, but I'm not sure on the correct wording, so it came up with a lot of unrelated threads.
Thanks for your help and sorry if this is a re-post!

fist, when the ipod is connected, it is always
charging, the ipod just dosent display the charge
when it is being updated. what has happend mos likely
is that in the ipod options enable disk use is
checked. if it is uncheck it.
if not, its a windows problem. you see windows has
issues being bossed around by itunes and likes to
view the ipod. it is safe to turn off the computer,
and while its off disconnect the ipod and try again
when the computer is back on. if itunes syas at the
top ipod update is complete ok to disconnect, you may
remove it and plug it back in, regardless of what the
ipod is saying on the screen.

That did it. Thanks!

Wi-fi automatically turns itself off

No idea why it started happening but my iPhone has taken to turning wifi off of its own accord.
Connect to the network, put VPN password in and then go back only to see Wifi -> Off.
WHYYYYYY?? It's really annoying me because everything is set to automatically connect, etc and it just keeps glitching itself off.
Anyone able to help?

Count me in...
My phone suddenly started disconnecting itself from wifi.. only if I held very close to the antenna, it shows a wifi signal but as soon as i move away from it, the signal drops.
We have two other iphones in the house with the same OS versions (latest, 3G models) and they work fine.
I have done all the reset procedures described in various threads, plus a full restore but nothing helped so far.

IPod nano randomly ejects itself while connected with iTunes open

While my iPod nano is connected and iTunes is open, it will randomly eject and diappear from the iTunes left column while songs are being updated. It then proceeds to have errors whenever I connect, saying some sort of file is corrupt.
I have restored the iPod, restarted the computer, and started from scratch. Whenever I try to upload my songs again, it automatically disconnects about half-way through. This seems to be a continuous problem for me.

See this...

IPod Class Automatically Disconnecting While Synching

Ok I managed to solve my previous problem and now when while I'm synching my music onto the iPod,it automatically disconnects causing the whole sync to completely stop.Any idea why ?

Hmm. Well, since the problem happens on both computers, the problem more than likely lies with the iPod itself. The iPod's software may have become corrupt in some way and may need to be restore via iTunes. Keep in mind that restoring will erase all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on at least one of your computers. However, that is not a guaranteed fix and I don't think you really feel like reloading all 105 GB of music on it.
Maybe try manually putting the iPod into Disk Mode while connected and see if that helps the iPod stay connected and mounted properly.

Other than that, I don't know of any other way to handle this situation and am out of ideas or potential solutions. Maybe try completely uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing. (There is a link right that the beginning of the document if you have Vista)

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck
