Nano cannot complete restore...just stuck in perpetual " do not disconnect"

Hi there,
I have tried to perform a complete restore on my Nano 4G because it stoped charging in my car. It charges fine with the usb cable so I thought a complete restore would return things back to normal. Wrong! After the restore states it is complete, I just get the never ending "do not disconnect". I left it over night, just to be sure. Even though I had a incling that it really shouldn't take that long and sure enough still in "do not disconnect" mode. What should i do? I would really like it to charge in my car again. Please help...

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

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • 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

  • Ipod nano didnt completely restore

    i really need help! see, i restored my nano, but i have a feeling it didn't completely restore, because i tried to connect it back up to itunes after restoring it. but itunes didn't recognize the ipod. so i re-read the restoring process and it turns out that i probably didn't even finish restoring it! i only completed stage 1 of the restoring process, and i most likely skipped stage 2. so i'm wondering if any one has some advice for me??? what should i do if my ipod is only half-restored, as i fear, and it won't even show up on itunes?
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I NEED YOUR ADVICE!

    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
    Then try the restore again.

  • Cannot complete restore

    I have an iPhone 3gs which will only start in recovery mode. Every time I try and restore it gets within 99% of completion on the phones progress bar and hangs there forever. I've tried different cable, different Mac, creating a new iTunes account, downloading restore file manually on different Mac's and pointing iTunes to it. I've tried version 4, 4.01, 4.02, all of which gave the message not compatible with this phone, 4.1 is the only one it accepts but it will not complete. Is there anything else I can try? Btw It's out of warranty.

    Sorry about my minor meltdown in my last post - which was not directed toward you anyway.....
    The only thing that I can think of to try now is DFU mode. I don't know if this will work anyway, but you have nothing to lose at this point. I am far less familiar with this than recovery mode. But you can take a look at these.

    Did you try resetting the iPad at all and then try restoring?
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

  • My 5th Gen Classic has just stuck ,and says Ok to disconnect and seems to have frozen. I have tried to reset.

    Question: My 5th Gen Clssic I Pod, has just stopped playing and shows a tick, and Ok to disconnect. I have tried to reset by toggle hold and press centre, but no joy. I have not got the CD. Please help. Think its 2005  Graham

    To reset the iPod, you need to press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  It can take up to 30 seconds or more while holding those buttons to get a response sometimes.

  • 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
