Nano Do Not Disconnect!

Having problems with Do Not Disconnect, as soon as I connect my Nano to the computer it goes into Do Not Disconnect. iTunes pops up and says that update is completed, but Do Not Disconnect never goes away. Been using the Nano for months now and this problem just started. Tried repairing itunes, tried resetting the ipod, have already completed the update as well. Noticed problem after trying to manual add and remove songs off ipod (which I never got to work), have switch setting back to automatic update songs and still having problems. I have ejected ipod for in itunes, but still shows Do Not Disconnect. I have also restarted my computer several times with no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Okay so I guess my problem is not with the Do Not Disconnect screen, but with not being able to remove songs from my ipod. I tried selecting manully update songs and them unchecking the songs I did not want on my ipod, but when I do this and hit update it ups dates real quickly and nothing I deselected is removed from my ipod. Am I trying to remove songs from my ipod the wrong way? Don't want to delete the song from my library just want to remove from the ipod until i want to load it back on again. Help!

  • New iPod Nano - Do Not Disconnect

    I have an iPod and a new iPod Nano connected to my PC. The iPod message on iTunes is "Update Complete, OK to Disconnect". The iPod Nano message on iTunes is "Update Complete" and the screen on the Nano still says Do Not Disconnect. Is this normal? Do I need to eject the Nano each time?

    hi Mi Ja!
    The iPod message on iTunes is "Update Complete, OK to Disconnect". The iPod Nano message on iTunes is "Update Complete" and the screen on the Nano still says Do Not Disconnect. Is this normal? Do I need to eject the Nano each time?
    i had this happening to me for a month with attractive beast ("Update complete, OK to disconnect") and mauve ("Update Complete" etc), before i worked out what was going on.
    next time you have the nano plugged in, head into your itunes "ipod" preference tab, and check to see if you have "Enable disk use" checked. if you do, uncheck it and click okay. after a moment or two, the nano should be behaving like the ipod.
    (this will also happen if you have the nano in manual mode. if you switch back to automatic synching, on my girls "enable disk use" is left selected ... you need to uncheck that "enable disk use" box as well.)
    hope this is all that is happening to you ... keep us posted.

  • Nano Do not disconnect : Computer Doesn't recognise

    I connected my nano, and thought it was done connecting so I unplugged the cord, even though it said do not disconnect. my nano wont reset, wont show up in itunes or my cpu,and just stays on the unblinking do not disconnect screen. I'm getting really worried and am looking for any advice possible.

    and then once it dies plug it back in and hope the message goes away and that it forgets i unplugged it.

  • Nonstop message from Nano - "do not disconnect"

    What gives? I've loaded all software and it's working correctly. I've put songs into the library and all my Nano keeps saying is "do not disconnect". Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello haloshot,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    To safely remove your nano, follow the instructions here:

  • New Nano DO NOT DISCONNECT

    I connected my new IPod Nano to the usb port in my G5 and I have a warNing "Do not disconnect" on the screen.
    What does this mean?
    How do I progress.
    Previously I had a Shuffle on this machine, but was robbed by a gang of 10 nasty guys...hence the update to the Nano. I didn't buy the policy that allows me unlimited support calls. Can I buy that now...after the fact.
    Thanks,
    Dianne

    after syncing with itunes, click on the ipod icon in your play list (on the left hand side) and then click the "eject ipod" button on the lower right corner. This will eject the ipod from the computer and the "do not disconnect" will go back to a menu...

  • Nano 6g not disconnecting after sync.

    System states it can not disconnect because another application is using its files

    Change the settings on your antivirus/antispyware software to not scan your iPod.

  • Ipod nano will not disconnect, another app using a file

    when i try to eject my nano, it says another application is using a file. what do i do, or where is this file,

    Daggum, b. That's my idea, too.
    Also possible is that we are using something like the google desktop thingie or somesuch that indexes the drive for list as you type searching (you know, in a clumsy attempt to imitate spotlight in OS X Tiger). If that is the case, then the drive will not be removeable until the index app is closed out.
    Do we have something like that running?

  • Ipod nano: do not disconnect, ipod screen on itunes locked

    My ipod nano was working fine originally but now, the ipod screen on itunes has a little padlock by the remaining disk space bar and all of my music is not available to click on which means it wont let me delete anything. I would be grateful if anybody could point me in the direction to fixing this. Thanks

    In iTunes preferences, iPod section, do you have iTunes currently set to automatically update the nano's music playlists when connected?
    This setting will cause iTunes to 'lock' the iPod in the way that you are seeing as it is managing the iPod's contents for you and does not expect you to delete stuff yourself. Selecting the manual update option in iTunes / iPod preferences will remove the 'lock' - just depends on your preference as to how automated you want the iTunes / iPod synchronisation to be.

  • Nano Restored - Do not disconnect message

    After restoring my Nano, 'Do not disconnect message' appears continuously. How long does it last?
    Dell   Windows XP  

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
    In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • Do not disconnect still reads on my nano

    I've just got my nano. I've put music onto itunes then onto my nano, but after quite a while - my nano still reads 'do not disconnect'. when I selected 'eject ipod' it came up saying unable to disconnect because it contains files tat are being used in another application. does this mean that music is still being downloaded due to maybe my usb port not being the required 2 size or something?

    It's quite a common error, just reset the iPod by holding down the menu/select buttons until you see the Apple logo, then disconnect it.
    Incidentally, if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • IPod Nano 5th Gen is stuck on 'Do not disconnect'

    I've had my iPod Nano 5th Generation for about 4-5 years and I've never really had a problem with it until now; it's stuck on the 'Do not disconnect' screen. I've tried doing the restore on the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center button then the Center and Play button to put it into Disk Mode but this has only brought it back to the 'Do not disconnect' screen. When it's connected to my Windows computer, it's appears on 'My Computer' but then it causes iTunes and 'My computer/Windows' to freeze; iTunes and Windows un-freezes immediately when I unplug my iPod. I connected the iPod to another computer which didn't have iTunes on it and was able re-format to the FAT32 (I think it was), the default one anyway, then tried to re-connect it to the first computer but it's still the same thing. I downloaded the new iTunes onto the computer which didn't have iTunes before but again when connecting the iPod to the computer it caused iTunes and Windows to freeze. I've left the iPod to completely run out of battery then tried to reconnect it but to not avail.
    I've gone through so many forums and answer sites trying to find a fix but I think I've run out of options.
    Is my iPod totally corrupt and ready to be replaced or is there still something I can try to get it working again?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks x 

    Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem and can't figure it out.

  • Can I download iTunes to a gateway laptop and pull up my library from it a as well? My ipod nano 7thgeneration is staying "do not disconnect" when I plug it into the USB in my truck. I am using the USB cord that it came with.

    i had my iPod nano plugged into the USB in my truck about a week ago and it worked. All I had to do was press the AUX button. I went to use it yesterday in my truck and the iPod says do not disconnect while my truck says audio player not found. I called apple support and he said my iPod needs to be restored, so I need to retransfer the music from my library onto my iPod again. Downfall, I no longer have access to an apple laptop because my brother lost the cord to his. Please help.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • 'Do not disconnect' - syncs never end with my Nano all of a sudden

    My iPod Nano (v1.3.1) syncs happily to my Mac Mini (iTunes v7.1.1) but after the sync completes, the Nano's screen still says "Do not disconnect".
    "Enable disk use" is NOT checked, nor is "manually manage music".
    This is a pain, since I sync my Nano every morning to get a bunch of latest podcasts, and the Mac Mini hasn't normally got a display attached to it. (Watching the Mac Mini means turning the TV on!)
    I've tried the three Rs, with no effect. I think this only happened after the iTunes v7.1.1 update. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I am having the same problem and it happened after the update. The only way to safely disconnect my nano from my macbook is to drag the ipod icon to the recycle bin.
